    Summary

    Galinda’s always been determined to succeed, where sorcery is concerned. Quick to frustrate and prone to dramatic outbursts of said frustration, sure, and lacking in a particular natural inclination, also true, but the determination—the want—has never been a question.

    She’s been trying to levitate a coin for a month now.

    Or: Galinda’s struggling in Morrible’s sorcery seminar. Elphaba offers a helping hand.

    Or else: Three times G(a)linda needs Elphaba’s help with magic, and it turns into something different.

    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    Summary

    “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

    Right there, in dark, slightly smudged handwriting across the side of the cup, are three simple words: You got this!

    Her heart does a weird little flutter.

    Her stomach does an even weirder little flip.

    Because Elphaba wrote that.

    [or: In which, Galinda starts receiving sweet messages on her morning coffee cups and becomes convinced that the beautiful but slightly grumpy barista, Elphaba, is secretly flirting with her. Because surely, this must mean something… right?]
