    Summary

    “God blessed me by making me a transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: so that humanity might share in the act of creation.” — Julian K. Forbes
    Glinda and Elphaba meet as young children pre-transition, and years later are separated by time, distance, and family.
    After they both fully transition, they meet again as roommates in college.
    The only thing is, they don’t recognize each other.
    What starts as an academic rivalry and loathing will soon morph into something else.

    Summary

    At Shiz University, Professor Elphaba Thropp does not do favorites. She does not do exceptions. And she does not get distracted.

    Galinda Upland is an exception she never agreed to noticing.

    Bright, popular, and infuriatingly composed, Galinda shouldn’t stand out in Elphaba’s lecture hall the way she does. But she does. Every question, every answer, every quiet moment where Elphaba catches herself looking a second too long.

    It starts with academic interest.

    It does not stay that way.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp works the midnight shift at the Shiz Hotline.
    A student-led hotline for students who need assistance ASAP.
    Problems are categorized. Forms are filed. Crises are contained.
    She is very good at it.
    Then a caller starts asking questions she isn’t trained to answer.
    Like what it means to be admired.
    Or whether loneliness can exist in a crowded room.
    Or why Elphaba always says she’ll be there.

    Summary

    Elphaba was barely listening to Glinda when the Good Witch first arrived at Kiamo Ko. She brushed Chistery off as well. She had a much bigger problem than witch hunters at her gate. She had felt another magical presence within her own. One that would never survive this war she'd started. She had to leave Oz, for both their sakes.

    About 20 years later, Liir had chosen to attend Shiz. It might not have been where they'd planned, but there was history here. And magic. More than he'd realized when he first moved into his dorm. But why were his professors' lectures contradicting everything he had ever learned? Why was the past haunting him? How could he do anything to stop history from repeating itself when even his heroes didn't seem to have all the facts?

    Summary

    Raised privileged and with all that entailed, Galinda Arduenna once believed she had a firm picture of the direction of her life. Unexpectedly stripped of what little choice she still held, she finds herself sent to a distant land as part of a token marriage, ostensibly to lessen tensions between their countries; as remote a possibility as rain falling in the dusty place, as unlikely as her ascending as she ought.

    Bound now to become part of a most abnormal family, all an affront to her sensibilities. The oldest most of all – blunt, outspoken, and sharp-tongued.

    Determined to make up for a most disastrous beginning, Galinda does as she always has; slips into performance beneath her mask. Striving to cope until her intended arrives.

    A temper fuelled altercation soon develops into a curious fascination, if only for the peculiarity of it.

    Soon she finds herself confronted not just by the harsh realities of their world, but also the truths of herself – those things long pushed aside and disregarded. And the sacrifices we chose to make to do what we believe is right.

    A coming of age story. The beginning threads of an overarching story, and the slow burn romance that is the heart of it.

    Summary

    Glinda Upland has spent her entire life playing a role—cheer captain, golden girl, perfect daughter. She knows exactly what people expect from her, and she delivers. But when she’s forced to spend more time around Elphaba Thropp—the school’s infamous outcast—she begins to question everything.

    Elphaba never cared what people thought of her. She knows who she is and doesn’t need anyone’s approval—especially not Glinda’s. But as their rivalry shifts into something sharper, something unspoken, something that lingers too long in the spaces between them, Elphaba realizes Glinda isn’t as untouchable as she seems.

    What starts as tension builds into something impossible to ignore. One kiss changes everything. One mistake tears them apart. And when Glinda is outed in the cruelest way possible, she’s forced to decide if she’s willing to lose everything to be herself.

    But the thing about Elphaba?

    She never lets the people she loves stand alone.

    And maybe—for the first time—Glinda is ready to fight for herself, too.

    Summary

    After graduating from Shiz University, Elphaba and Galinda are reunited at their five year Shiz reunion and must navigate new and old feelings under the arrangement that they can only be together “for the weekend” of the reunion.

    ———

    “It’s not perfect.”

    “Nothing good in this life ever is.”

    Elphaba turned to face Galinda. The angle was awkward and she couldn’t use her hands the way she wanted to because they were covered in clay, but she managed to peck Galinda’s lips. “I can think of one good thing that is.”

    ———

    “Whatever happens,” Galinda declared, “I promise that I won’t let you get arrested.”

    “And I, the same,” the green girl smiled, and softly brushed her thumb along the blonde's cheekbone. “I suppose you’re not opposed to ah… a small bit of trickery, misdirection, general mischief? Perhaps a shenanigan or two?”

    “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.”
