    Summary

    Glinda The Good is ill, they were saying. Deathly ill. Agonizing as we speak, even. She might already be dead, for all we know.

    And, though exagerated in many ways, there was some truth to the words. Glinda's illnes had started long ago, too long to pinpoint an exact moment. The very day she was born, perhaps. But the particular trigger, the foundation of said rumors, had originated a little under four years ago. The day half of Glinda's heart died.

    (Gossip, as it turns out, is an extremely useful thing. It can cause riot and peace, reveal truths and break promises. It can even bring people back from the dead. Isn't that wonderful?)

    Or: After years of performance and solitude, Glinda finally breaks. Rumors about Glinda The Good's wellbeing bring Elphaba back home.

    Summary

    Rumi’s stomach churns at the thought of seeing Celine again after how they left things off before she ran head-first into Gwi-ma’s not-so-little deathtrap, but she walks up the steps without thinking, the way she always used to, past the gate and across the familiar stone path, and then knocks on the front door.

    “Celine,” she calls, and then she hears it. The soft, slow shuffle of footsteps from inside, drawing nearer and nearer, and then, the sound of the lock turning, and—

    The door opens, and the woman standing in front of them is not Celine.

    If Rumi isn’t actually dead already, her heart stops. “Mom?”

    Ryu Miyeong frowns at her. “‘Mom?’"

    or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    “Choosing to be a doctor is the worst decision I've ever made,” Mina mumbled sleepily against her shoulder, her eyes fluttering close.

    Nayeon could hear her heartbeat in her eardrums. It drowned out all other thoughts except a singular realization, pulsating in the middle of her mind: the worst decision she had ever made was sitting right next to her and falling asleep on her shoulder.

    -

    (or, alternatively, mina likes sleeping with nayeon. nayeon likes mina.)

    Summary

    “It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”

    It was loving in the beginning.
