    Summary

    Morrible unfurls Glinda’s mind like a scroll, examining the contents of her memory the way she examined the displayed organs of the first fetal pig she ever dissected. It’s less cohesive than the innards of a pig. That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience, regardless of whether the target was physically present or not. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

    Summary

    “I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.

    “I miss you, too.”

    After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)

    Subject: Legibility of requisition forms

    Dear Dr. Upland,
    please refrain from filling out your requisition forms with a pink glitter pen. It makes them extremely difficult to read.
    Sincerely,
    Elphaba Thropp, MD

    Summary

    Elphaba touched down inside the treehouse, soft moss silencing her landing. Yellow light filled the space, though it would be dark before long. With a flick of her wrist, everything returned to its rightful place. Her cloak and hat hung themselves neatly on a row of tree roots she had coaxed to grow like hooks. Her boots slipped off, sitting by the long stretch of trunk that served as her launch point when she flew. The broom, still buzzing under her hands, settled easily next to her boots, its bristles straightening themselves out after a long fly. Elphaba watched, one eyebrow cocked. The thing wasn’t alive, exactly, but it certainly had opinions about how well she maintained its aging wood.

    Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she pinned the new poster up to the wall, stepping back with a sigh.

    “You’d think that after this long, they would give up on the story that you kidnapped me.”

    /////

    Or, what if Elphaba had kissed Glinda during What Is This Feeling and they had been dating all year? What if Glinda flees the palace with her girlfriend? How does that change the story?
