    Summary

    She used to be able to just feel the urge to draw and pluck something from her imagination to work on. Now, every time she goes to put pen to paper it’s nothing but Kim. And it’s fucking embarrassing. So, she shoves it deep, deep down into the depths of her chest, as far as it allows, and settles herself in the fact that she’s cursed to just let her feelings pour out into sketches in a notebook and remain there, forever, unspoken.

    or; trini has a bunch of sketches of kim in her biology notebook and she's fine with living with her huge crush until she accidentally gives kim the wrong notebook and oh god she's got to get that thing back before kim sees.

    Summary

    Thieves aren't in the business of love - they're in the business of money, of coins clinking and shining, cold and hard. But Galinda doesn't want money - what she wants is flesh, warm and yielding under the pressure of her fingers, soft and supple and slick; tasting like salt, like sweat - like blood.

    or; Galinda is inveigled into a scheme to divest one Elphaba Thropp of her fortune. A retelling of Sarah Waters' Fingersmith starring Oz's finest.

    Summary

    Glinda never meant to get caught in the crossfire.

    After Elphaba’s escape in Defying Gravity, Glinda thought she would be safe returning to her life at Shiz, distancing herself from the chaos that followed. But secrets have a way of surfacing. And when the truth of her status as an Omega is exposed, she becomes the perfect bait to drag Elphaba back—and force her to submit.

    For the Wizard, punishing Elphaba isn’t enough. He doesn’t just want her obedience. He wants to break her, remake her, turn her into something that belongs to him. And what better way than to corrupt the one person she would burn the world for?

    Elphaba is forced into an impossible choice—her freedom, or Glinda’s body and mind.

    Summary

    Sudden bursts of magic are occurring in Shiz and Elphaba can only assume that she needs more discipline to better control her abilities. She doesn't dare to think that these incidents are at the fault of a certain pink roommate.

    Tl;dr: Elphaba's magic is spawned by her anger. Galinda's is spawned by her jealousy.

    Summary

    Freshly divorced Elphaba Thropp takes her son Liir to the hospital after he breaks his arm. Faced with an overbooked hospital and a nonexistent ex, they are placed in a temporary room for the night.

    Newly widowed–now single mother–Galinda Chuffery-Upland is none too pleased about sharing their (formerly) private suite. But her daughter Peaches already has plans to make Liir her new best friend, forcing these two women together in the most unexpected way.

    Unfortunately, Galinda may be too much for Elphaba to handle when her seemingly picture perfect world begins to unravel one dangerous thread at a time.
