    Summary

    “I have a package for Galinda Upland.”

    “It’s just Glinda,” she corrects reflexively.

    “Well.” The voice on the other side of the buzzer pauses. “Unless there is a Galinda living in apartment 3C, I’m going to assume this is for you.”

    “Bold of you.”

    A huff. “Glinda Upland, can you please just buzz me up so I can do my job?”
    _________

    Or: Glinda's infatuated with a hot and mysterious bike messenger who keeps delivering things to her apartment.

    Summary

    In exile as a political prisoner at a remote estate, Glinda's only companion is a woman named Elphaba, a quiet, exacting servant with a sharp tongue and her defenses high. But what begins as a reluctant cohabitation blossoms, slowly, into something quietly consuming and difficult to name. As time passes, the two women navigate the aching gravity of intimacy—and allow themselves, for the first time, to be seen.

    Summary

    Breathing in deeply so the smell of old parchment fills her nose, Glinda tries to put the memory aside. Her hands shake, crumpling the edges of the letter where she’s clutching it. She closes her eyes.

    Suddenly, she’s eighteen again, writing home asking if it’s alright for Elphie to come home for half-term; nineteen, celebrating her birthday with a cake, a field of poppies at sunset, and her four dearest friends, whispering in Elphaba’s ear about some secret that she can hardly remember now. She wracks her brain too long for what it could have been, and then she’s almost twenty-five—though birthdays hardly seem to matter anymore—and she has her hand pressed over her mouth because she knows Elphie is right, she can’t be found here, and she hasn’t heard a sound from Elphaba since she closed the door between them. But Elphaba said everything would be fine, and she believes her, has to, because she can’t imagine what will happen if, if—

    The sound of Elphaba’s agony rings in Glinda’s ears.

    (Or, Glinda's time between the end of canon to when she buys the house for her and Elphie. A farmhouse-verse prequel told in moments throughout the four years in the middle.)

    Summary

    Glinda opens her mouth to warmly greet her new roommate, but her words die at her throat when she finds none other than a green figure in the middle of the empty living room amidst a bunch of dreary, brown boxes.

    Elphaba Thropp.

    Oh. Oh, no.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp had grown up playing baseball with her brother Shell, so when the men of Oz get drafted to fight the rebels in the Unpassable Desert and the MLB puts on tryouts for a female-only league she jumps at the chance.

    Galinda Upland does everything her parents tell her to - except for when she goes to baseball tryouts. Pleading with her parents to let her play, she promises she'll be a star. She would've been, except a green-skinned pitcher has taken the spotlight.

    Put on the same roster, and then assigned to the same room - the girls end up loathing each other. Until they don't.

    -

    Or the A League of their Own AU that no one asked for. Full of PR shenanigans, angst, random parallels, and very little actual baseball.

    Summary

    Galinda is known to neglect herself. The poor thing sets aside her own needs in favor of pleasing everyone else. Sometimes she just forgets. It's bad for her health, her beautiful curls, her anxiety. Sometimes she just needs reminders— someone to tell her to keep up with these few things.

    And really Elphaba would just prefer it if the girl listened to her anyways.

    But today is different. Something is completely wrong. And Galinda knows it.

    Elphie is different.

    Dearest darlingest momsie and momsicle,

    Elphaba looked at the blonde like she had already figured this out. "Oh my sweet, my hopelessly hopeful sweet, you really thought that you could bring me back, didn't you?"

    Summary

    Having a roommate she loathes is just Elphaba’s luck. Even worse, she shares a magical bond with her-the first of its kind in nearly two centuries. As they bond over their unexpected powers the girls grow closer, until one (not so) short day changes everything. Together, they truly are unlimited-but it comes at a cost. Galinda has wanted to be a sorceress since she was a child, but she’s never shown any signs of magic-until a chance encounter with her roommate unlocks magic she didn’t know she had. But as her powers grow and powerful people in Oz seek to harness them, Galinda realizes her greatest dream might be her worst nightmare.

    Fiyero wants to help his friends but gets in over his head. As the new Governor of Munchkinland, Nessa finds herself surrounded by enemies-and one unexpected potential ally. Boq feels directionless until events force him to pick a side. To battle powerful enemies they'll need to recruit new allies. They’ll travel from the depths of the Emerald City to the outer reaches of Oz and uncover secrets that will challenge everything they know about each other.

    Main story is complete! Now working on Epilogues!

    Gelphie centric with an ensemble cast.

    Summary

    Glinda wasn’t really sure what made her do it. All she knew was that she hung up the phone to silence her mother’s screams, took a right at an intersection where she normally turned left, and found herself in front of a tattoo shop.
    The sign read “Oz’s Oddities” in that classic font that every tattoo studio seemed to use. A bit cliche, but it had caught her eye. She’d never gotten a tattoo before. The pain had been a slight deterrent, but more than anything it was the threat of being cut off from her parents’ money if she ever came home with anything more than simple earlobe piercings.

    But now she was cut off. Her ex was dragging her name through the mud to all their friends, she’d graduated college, and found herself alone with no job, a lease ending in two weeks, and no more allowance.

    What else did she have to lose?

    Have you ever felt the weight of gravity. Not just on your body, but on your soul?…

    ****************************************

    When Elphaba first posted anonymously in the Witchcraft Fans forum, she never imagined a single reply would come—let alone that her mysterious pen pal would become someone so essential to her world.

    When Galinda quietly slipped into the forum, she didn’t expect to be captivated by the words woven by the soul behind the name EmeraldAshes. Nor did she plan to answer, much less to begin a correspondence that would win her heart.

    Years pass. Peace grows. But when the past calls in a voice neither of them expected, everything begins to shift again.
