    Summary

    “She fought through the pain, through every part of her that wanted to give up, give in, let it be over. She fought because she knew that as long as she was fighting, Up would be fighting too.”

    Everything in Taz’s life can be traced back to her quinceañera, the day she lost everything she’d ever known – and the day she met a Starship Ranger named Up.

    Lieutenant Up had spent his life alone, a soldier, devoting himself to a war that has spanned centuries. He can’t explain why he feels so drawn to protect the fiery Mexican girl, this tiny thing who can scream like a banshee in the face of certain death.

    Their story spans both lightyears and decades, alien planets and bouncing moons, spacefaring starships and the crumbling ruins of a decaying Earth. Up becomes Taz’s teacher, her commanding officer, her friend and eventually, her love – but when war and tragedy tear him down, it is only she who can try to help him get back up and become the man she knows he can be.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I first read this fic on fanfiction.net YEARS after it was posted because I didn't get super into Starkid until the Covid times. I loved it then, and obviously I love it now, and it's so fun to read the current author's notes alongside the old words that were written. It's like two different people almost. When you go to FFN, there's not a lot of completed works for this pairing with the same care and caliber of LtD, but there are a few who come really close.

     

    I am forever grateful that this fanfic exists and I know that somewhere out there Taz and Up are still dancing.

    Summary

    If you were to ask Elphaba Thropp what she thought of Fiyero Tigelaar, she’d say she never really knew Shiz’s new Student Council President all that well – but he seemed nice enough. No, she was not salty that she lost in the elections to him by just a few votes. Yes, she was satisfied with her position as Vice President.

    And yet, when hundreds of letters — addressed mostly to Fiyero (and a few unfortunate others) are delivered at his doorstep, containing all of her unfiltered frustration and pointed observations, Elphaba’s perfect, ‘role-model student’ persona starts to crumble.

    Inspired by “I Hope This Doesn’t Find You” by Ann Liang.
