    Summary

    “Elphie,” Glinda repeats. “Polling is telling us that Elphaba is too intimidating, not trustworthy enough. A nickname significantly increases approachability. I actually came up with that one myself-” she pauses, pleased, waiting for the inevitable compliment.

     
    Or: Glinda discovers that the hardest thing about being Throne Minister...is the Throne Minister. Yes, that one.

    Summary

    Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)

    Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)

    And thus, the arrangement.

    Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

    Summary

    Despite it all—all meaning familial trauma and neglect, casual social ostracization, and the general crushing weight of existence—Elphaba liked to think of herself as an optimist.

    If she wasn’t, after all, she certainly wouldn’t be doing this.

    Summary

    Glinda expects to sleepwalk through divorce negotiations with Fiyero; it's been amicable enough, they have no children, and he has more money than she does, so there's no need to fight over assets. Nonetheless, he's being a brat about the cabin she decided they should purchase, and so argue they will. Bring on the boring, dry, negotiations.

    She just wasn't expecting his divorce attorney to be the most beautiful woman she's ever seen.

    __________
    modern AU, Elphaba's Fiyero's attorney as he and Glinda get a divorce. Glinda flirts with Elphaba and makes it her mission to seduce her when Elphaba won't acknowledge the sexual tension between them

    Summary

    Sue liked to think of herself as someone who wasn’t totally miserable, and found fun in a lot of activities — telling or hearing a good joke, eating a tub of ice cream, watching the first ice hockey game of the season. But joining Emily’s amateur production of As You Like It, due to open in six weeks at the local theatre, was nowhere on her list of fun pastimes.

     

     

     

    (In which Sue discovers the joys of iambic pentameter, confronts long-repressed emotional issues, and tries to figure out how to pretend to be in love with your best friend for theatrical purposes without acknowledging that you're actually already in love with your best friend. Not necessarily in that order.)

    Summary

    Glinda Upland, PhD candidate in Sorcery Studies, is writing her dissertation on some old, mysterious magic book called The Grimmerie. The only issue is that she can’t read it. Truthfully, she can’t even open it. No, in a dreadfully unfortunate twist of fate — a joke of destiny, the stars utterly misaligned — only Elphaba Thropp, the grumpified green librarian, can.

    Or: Self-indulgent researcher/librarian au featuring musings on people who make things that are meant to last and also an enemies-to-lovers arc for Wicked’s primary throuple — Glinda, Elphaba, and a magical ancient tome.

    Summary

    And there it is again, that damn lack of a filter whenever so much as a single drop of alcohol enters Glinda’s system. That dopey smile, too, that she flashes at Elphaba charmingly, even in her current state. Those big doe eyes opening again to look at her, the slightly crooked smile crinkling at their edges. Instead of answering Elphaba’s question, Glinda giggles. “I like it when you call me that.”

    “Mh?”

    “When you call me pretty girl, it makes me feel all fuzzy.”

     
    Or, Elphaba thinks her feelings for her best friend are unrequited, despite the many times Glinda accidentally tries to get her point across after a few too many drinks. They’re both oblivious to the other’s feelings until it becomes undeniable.

    Summary

    “Okay, so. The problem: Austin wants to ask you out. Solution: His sister asks you out first.”

    Sue tamps down the heat that slinks up her chest by sticking her face in the couch cushion. She hopes she’s audible when she mumbles, “H-How is it that your solution involves turning down two Dickinsons instead of one?”

    **Or: The fake-dating AU no one asked for.**

    Summary

    “Oh,” she said finally. “Sue! From middle school. Weren’t you in Boston?”
    “I moved back,” Sue said.
    “Yeah, I heard about that, actually,” Emily replied. “I love your dog.”
    “Thanks,” Sue said. “Are you — okay?”
    “Oh, yeah, I’m fine,” Emily told her, though she looked at the same time like she was about two seconds from falling over.
    “Are you drunk?”
    “Yeah,” Emily said, then, clearly sensing some judgement in Sue’s tone that wasn’t actually there: “What’s it to you? Free country, right?”
    “Kind of,” Sue replied, “except you’re on my front lawn, so.”

    (Sue is perfectly fine being alone and not in a hurry to change that. Emily doesn't get the memo.)

    Summary

    “I went to breakfast and started answering people’s questions with words I didn’t plan.” 

    Elphaba scrunches her brow. “What words?” 

    “No, pleas–” Galinda looks like she might pass out, the hands over her mouth trying to push her jaw closed, but she evidently can’t stop talking. “I told everyone I wanted to kiss you even though I d–” Galinda stops and tries again. “I don’t w– Don’t want to–” 

    Elphaba’s knees are weak as she studies her roommate. Something has taken over Galinda, something magical, it must have. Galinda is gagging, trying to finish her sentence over and over again, but she fails, an expression between confusion, horror, and fury in her eyes.

    Summary

    “Oh. Oz,” Galinda breathes, taking a step forward. “You’re me. Future me.” Grass crunches under her feet. “Do you have any advice for the you of eleven years ago?”

    “I will give you only one piece of advice. Any more, and I’m afraid of what might happen,” Glinda tells her, and Galinda sits up straighter, rapt. Glinda’s face hardens, steels. She scowls into the darkness of the woods around them.

    “Stay away from Elphaba Thropp.”

    Or: On the night of her nineteenth birthday, Galinda bungles a spell and winds up in touch with an older version of herself. Glinda the Good leaves her with a single piece of advice. Galinda has some trouble taking it.

    Summary

    "See?" Elphaba said after a beat, only needing to whisper because she was right beside Galinda's ear now. The grip of her hands around Galinda loosened, but she didn't drop them. "You won't be doomed after all. You'll be able to steer yourself home."

    "I think I'd rather have you there with me," Galinda said, without really thinking about it. “Just in case."

    She goes to bed that night, the Grimmerie open at her side and Elphaba’s hat tucked under her sheets.

    She goes to bed exhausted, grieving, hurt, aching, angry at the world, angry at herself.

    She wakes up, the next morning, five years earlier.

    There’s only one person on her mind.

    Summary

    Elphaba thought about it. Oz. Why was her pulse racing? Was she really about to agree to fuck her best friend for practice?

    She took a deep breath. It wasn’t like that. It wasn’t fucking for practice. No, there would be no “fucking” involved. They would just be using a dildo. Just a little. As practice. So that Galinda could feel more confident the first time she had sex with Fiyero.

    “Your son is perfectly perfect,” Glinda whispers softly.

    “When he’s sleeping, maybe,” Elphaba teases. Still, her green eyes are soft, glancing at him.

    “Oh, always,” Glinda argues, hand cupping Liir’s soft, round cheek. He’s so precisely and exactly like Elphaba. “Always, always.”

    Or: Completely self-indulgent family fluff, featuring Gelphie as gay moms, Fiyero as a very involved third-wheel father, and, of course, everyone’s best boy Liir.

    “Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”

    “A little?”

    Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”

    Elphaba blinks.

    Glinda smiles sweetly.

    “Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”

    —
    Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.

    Summary

    “I thought about you every night,” Glinda whispers, truthfully. It spills out of her, raw and urgent, as if she’s trying to profess her vulnerability like a badge of honor. As if it might make her worthy of being claimed, of being loved too. Her voice is cracked open, breathless. Not defiant, just ruined. “I waited.”
    She swears Elphaba’s hand tightens on her hip—just slightly. Like she’s the one trembling now. She presses on, one more truth.
    “I couldn’t stop.”

    Or

    Glinda hasn’t heard from or seen Elphaba since she helped her through her heat, and she’s slowly unraveling. And when Elphaba finally returns, it’s not exactly how Glinda imagined it.
