Summary
It was impossible to get through a lecture from Professor Effie Trinket without two things happening: a mention of her loving and intelligent and handsome husband; and a mention of the brainless, daft, good-for-nothing Professor Abernathy who taught across the hall.
(aka the cheating scandal (that wasn’t really a cheating scandal) that shook up the entirety of Panem University told from 3 povs)

Summary
“Galinda?” The word cracked, uncharacteristically raw.
Her wife blinked up at her in confusion, eyes glassy and unfocused, lips parting like she was about to apologise for the mess – she was always apologising, that silly girl, even for gravity failing her.
“I… I just need… a second…” she breathed, but her voice sounded small, faraway, like a broadcast cutting to static. She felt dizzy, like she was drowning in sparkling water filling her head.
She caught Glinda by the waist just as her knees gave out. Elphaba’s grip tightened, one arm wrapping fully around her back, the other bracing the back of Glinda’s head as she lowered her gently toward her chest, shielding her from view.
“No. No more seconds.” Elphaba’s words were quiet but steel-edged, and the tremor in them betrayed a depth of fear she had been swallowing for weeks. “We’re leaving.”
--
(Or: Glinda collapses from overworking herself whilst at a fancy gala. Elphaba, ever the gentleman, swoops in to save her wife from herself. Comes with heaping doses of the softest hurt/comfort.)

Summary
“So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”
“See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”
“That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”
--
Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

Summary
Elphaba doesn’t believe in ghosts.
She wants that on record, preferably carved into stone, or at the very least immortalized in a well-reasoned essay, except no one’s ever going to read it because she’s not writing one.
Because ghosts aren’t real.
That said.
That said.
She is currently pacing her apartment, burning sage, because she has, in a moment of weakness, googled “signs your apartment is haunted” and, upon reviewing the evidence, has decided that -- purely for the sake of argument -- she should cover all her bases. Just in case.

“Why is it upside down?” Glinda asks when she sees the tattoo.
When Elphaba raises into her stance, she points at her bent knee and looks up at Glinda.
“It’s not upside down - I am,” she explains. “It’s the last thing I see before the gun goes off. You’re the last thing I think about before the gun goes off.”

Summary
“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.

Summary
"Elphaba will want you two to get married eventually, you know,” he says.
Galinda shrugs. “And if she doesn’t, that’s okay.”
Fiyero smiles. “That’s why she’s going to want to.” It suddenly occurs to him that he and Galinda were never this honest with each other as kids. Because that’s what they were— kids. It feels a bit like being naked, being with someone who has known you so well for so long.
It’s lovely, truthfully, how you never really stop growing up.

Summary
There was more writing crowding that same page, curling around the drawing as though desperate to squeeze every last inch of space. Murth hesitated. Did she even want to keep reading?
It was all so—so incredibly juvenile.
Lady Glinda, who for a long time had been the most powerful woman in Oz, who conducted herself with the unshakable poise of someone befitting her station, who had gathered supporters all over the world with wit and charm and a mind sharper than steel—all of that reduced to a teenage girl involved in petty university dramas.
And involved with the Wicked Witch of the West!
How come that secret had never been brought to light, even years after Lady Glinda's death?

Summary
She didn’t even really ask a question when she told Elphaba what she’d done, when she told her about the house, the biggest purchase of her life: a safe place; a place where, if she’s horrendibly honest, she imagines that maybe they could grow old. Galinda never saw the appeal of it before, of the ache in her bones or the aging lines on her face.
But looking in the mirror lately, they’re there— and she doesn’t hate it. She doesn’t hate knowing she’s changed. That they both have.
(Or, a post-canon fix-it. Elphaba comes back to her. Galinda buys them a house. The eroticism of a gentle life.)

Summary
“Who are you?” She asked, the question not laced with anger, but bewilderedness. Almost… enchanted.
“Elphaba Thropp,” she said easily, trying not to wince as another shaft of sunlight cut through the tower and hit her full in the face. Her skin shimmered faintly under it, the green of her cheek catching golden light. She smiled again, this time slower. “And you?”
The girl faltered. She wanted to say it, Elphaba could see that. It was right there, the truth balanced on the tip of her tongue. But something stopped her. Something small and scared and flickering behind those wide brown eyes.
“You’ll get my name,” she said, “When you tell me how you found me.”
or
Princess Galinda had been stolen from her mothers soon as she was born and locked in a tower, not expecting a bandit (who complains about how the flyers had the wrong shade of green) would be the one to free her.

Summary
It felt like she was being torn apart. Blood rushed in her ears as her bones snapped and shifted, her skin stretching and pulling as her whole body broke and reformed. She’d never felt anything like this before.
When the pain finally stopped, she lay panting and shuddering against the freezing stone. Her nerves were still sparking and her heart felt like it was trying to burst from her chest.
In between pained breaths, she heard her voice, once comforting, now cold and sharp.
“Oh yes, I think she’s exactly what we were looking for. The perfect spy.”
~
When Galinda shows an affinity for shifting forms, her parents reach out to Madame Morrible to plead for help, not knowing that in doing so they were sealing their daughter’s fate. Five years spent in the Emerald City under watchful eyes has honed her skills as a spy, working for the Wizard against the Animal Rebellion. Thrust into a strange new world at Shiz, tasked with learning all she can about Doctor Dillamond, Galinda is faced with a reality she wasn’t prepared for. All she knew to do was… just keep breathing.

Summary
Elphaba ignored the Emerald City escort in her bright orange dress and equally orange hat and looked at Glinda instead, standing to the side of the stage in a pale pink dress with a beatific smile on her face. Glinda Upland, surprise winner of the 68th annual Hunger Games at fifteen years old-and now, at seventeen, her mentor. The person who was supposed to guide Elphaba through the pre game festivities and look out for her while she was in the Arena. The person who had once been closer to her than anyone else in the world, now worse than a stranger.
Elphaba tried to stifle a sigh. She really didn’t stand a chance.
Or: Elphaba and Glinda are both District 12's surprise Victors. But Elphaba is just beginning to realize the Games don't end when she leaves the Arena...

Summary
Children were tested early, and their aptitudes and affinities were sorted like clothing in a shop. Some fit neatly into one path, while others, like Galinda, straddled two.
She had been a natural fit for the ruling faction, her charm and wit practically a birthright in the Uplands. Her skill with a blade had secured her a place among the knights, too. But the wizard faction? That had always been out of reach.
She had shown little to no natural talent for magic, no sparks of the arcane to mark her as special. And yet, standing here now, she felt a pull she couldn’t quite explain.OR Fantasy AU wherein Galinda is a swordsmaiden.
