    Summary

    * *

    Galinda is an ignorant, sheltered girl from Gillikin who only has one thing left to do to ensure that she has a perfect life: present as an omega. That determination remains unwaivered as she enters her college years while somehow remaining unpresented, but that might change when she meets her new roommate. Not only is this girl's skin color far more vegetable-like than anyone Galinda has ever met before, but... she also happens to have the one thing Galinda doesn't.

    In a world where omegas are already seen as less than, it seems like a cruel joke played by the universe to have the girl with green skin present as one at fourteen. And when Elphaba is forced to room with a girl who's obsessed with having the same trait that aided in making her teenage years miserable? Well, she wonders how she will manage to keep her sanity as she learns to coexist with this prissy, stuck up Gillikenese girl who can't seem to handle the fact that she's just a beta.

    What neither of them realize is that Galinda is far too determined for her own good. What happens when her plan to finally present as an omega goes terribly awry and results in the complete opposite?

    Summary

    When Galinda Upland and Fiyero Tigelaar both declared their love for her in the same afternoon, Elphaba had three thoughts:

    1) This must be a joke,
    2) Someone had clearly cursed her, and
    3) Oz above, why couldn’t they have at least spaced it out?

    Summary

    **Sequel to You'd have to stop the world (just to stop the feeling)**

    “We’re getting pretty good at this ‘being normal parents’ thing aren’t we?” Glinda smiled, placing a soft kiss against Elphaba’s neck.

    “I would say we are above average.” Elphaba nodded, resting her arm around Glinda’s waist.

    “You know we should do that one thing we truly excel at after we put the kids to bed tonight.” Glinda purred. “Maybe start trying for the next one.”

    Summary

    “…And what do I call you?!”

    Damn. Was she that desperate? Was she that starved for attention, for affection, that she yearned after a girl she didn't know a singular thing about except that she hadn't flinched at Elphaba's verdigris and had dubbed her the oddly perky and, dare she say, cute “Elphie”? How pathetic. No one ever entertained the strange green girl, the vegetable freak, socially.

    Certainly not mysterious, beautiful blondes adoring on baby Animals.

    Yet, miraculously, the girl stopped, tilting her head so that those blonde curls spilled over her shoulder in a wave of spun gold. She tapped her chin with a carefully manicured finger and winked, a wicked (breath-catching, mesmerizing, alluring) smile pulling on her lips. “You can call me…" She tossed her hair. An overly-dramatified movement that Elphaba shamelessly stared upon as if her entire world had shifted. “...Glinda."

    Or- A forewarned Galinda ditches Shiz to be the Witch of the South and lay the groundwork to better the Land of Oz. All in Elphaba's memory, of course.
    Their paths cross.
    Elphaba is clueless.
    And, as always, everything is wrong with Glinda.

    Summary

    At Shiz University, Elphaba hides the fact that she’s an omega.
    Glinda is the alpha she was taught to hate — flawless, arrogant, and impossible to ignore.
    What starts as hatred turns into forced coexistence.
    And what starts as coexistence… turns into instinct.
    As they try to resist the growing desire between them, their bodies speak louder.

    Summary

    The girl crossed her arms, unimpressed. “What? Do I have something in my teeth?”

    “No, it’s just, you’re—”

    “Green? Yes, I know. And no, I’m not seasick. No, I didn’t eat grass as a child. And yes, I’ve always been green.”

    Galinda couldn’t help but smile. “I was going to say beautiful, actually.” She held out her hand. “Galinda Upland, of the Upper Uplands.”

    Summary

    Glinda goes back in time to stop the creation of the Wicked Witch of the West, find a better way to take over Oz, and live her truth along the way.
    ----
    Dark eyebrows folded even further at the conclusion of the not-wizard's words. Mouth prepared to form one word with eyes that refused to drift from its determined spark.
    "STOP TALKING!" Glinda heard the scream echo. It took a heartbeat to understand that the words had come out of her, but she concentrated more on her success, preventing Elphaba's 'No'.

    Summary

    At forty, Glinda Arduenna Upland is the first woman to serve as President of the United States. Elegant, charismatic, and strategically married to a senator, she is the embodiment of political perfection. Nothing ever goes off script. Nothing… until one particular night.

    After having one too many drinks at a diplomatic gala, Glinda wakes up dazed, nauseated, and haunted by a blurry memory of being gently cared for by a woman with unmistakably green skin.

    Determined to find out if it was a drunken hallucination or the beginning of a potential scandal, she quietly begins investigating the depths of the White House. That’s when she meets Elphaba Thropp again, a night-shift janitor with sharp eyes, a sharper tongue, and absolutely no time for presidential theatrics.

    But the more Glinda tries to stay in control, the more Elphaba undoes her. And maybe, just maybe, the real crisis isn’t political at all… but what happens when a perfectly composed president starts to want someone who was never part of the plan.

    Summary

    Elphaba is a brilliant but reclusive scholar who also happens to be the runaway Crown Princess of Oz, hiding from her father's political machinations under the alias "E. Thropp, PhD Candidate." When her childhood best friend Fiyero Tigelaar drags her to Vinkus for his birthday, things go horrifyingly right.

    Fiyero’s motto? "You think too much, Fabala. Sometimes you just have to live."

    And live she did—until she woke up married to Glinda Upland, the dazzling socialite daughter of a business empire mogul.

    Summary

    A disembodied, somewhat hollow voice rings through the halls of the Emerald Palace. “Congradulotions to Elphaba Thropp, the Good Witch of the West, for her honorable appointment to the Wizard. Her green skin and feathered wings are a manefestorium of her great magical ability, which she has sworn to use for good throughout Oz.”

    Summary

    "You're safe with me, Elphie. Everything you're feeling is okay. It's alright."
    OR
    After they become friends, Elphaba and Galinda realize that what they feel for each other goes deeper than friendship. Elphaba is afraid to enter into a relationship due to inexperience and discomfort with the idea of being taken care of by another person, and Galinda is happy to slowly and patiently guide her into a world where she can receive love and be appreciated in a way she never has been before. Very, very gay.

    Summary

    “Paleontology is like flirting with time,” he once said, winking at a colleague. “You have to be gentle, but persistent.”

    Despite his lightheartedness, Duke was notoriously meticulous. His notebook was impeccable, filled with precise diagrams and detailed observations, and he had an almost intuitive gift for finding promising excavation sites, as if he could sniff out the past beneath the cracked earth.

    “Don't flirt with a fossilized bone in front of me, Duke. Please,” Galinda joked, crouching down beside him.

    “Mon cher, can't you read the mood?” he snorted, feigning theatrical indignation. “I was about to ask her out!”

    Galinda let out a brief laugh, muffled by the heat and dust suspended in the air. With her hands on her hips, she looked at him with feigned seriousness. “You say that about every fossil you find. Last week you swore that tibia gave you a seductive look.”

    “She did!” Duke retorted, pointing with the handle of his brush at the spot where the piece lay. “Too bad it was a hadrosaur. A long-distance relationship wouldn't work.”

    “Let me know when you find a fossil that prefers silence to flirting. I think it'll be the first.”
