    Summary

    A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.

    Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.

    --

    After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.

    But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.

    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.

    The medieval au that is not very prison-y and much more yearn-y than it has a right to be

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.

    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.

    Summary

    “There was something about her wincing face that the woman found intriguing. The release of control was a desire she understood quite thoroughly, but here there was something else, something that deeply troubled the young Throne Minister, something that—to L.’s confusion—inspired a different approach. It was almost as if the bubbly little blonde nursed a wound she wouldn’t let close, some hurt she wanted to honor only with more hurt. What was the ethical standard in servicing someone like that in this way?”

    or

    Glinda has been named Throne Minister in the wake of Elphie’s death and has dedicated herself to Oz (including some resistance activity). Still, she’s lonely, and refuses to accept that the witch she loves is gone. When the ladies of the Emerald City begin frequenting the Plum & Pip, Glinda finds herself drawn in. Her life is about to change for good.

    or

    Glinda and Elphaba reunite in the spiciest of ways.
