    Summary

    University AU where Francesca is supposed to be in a perfectly loving relationship with her boyfriend, John, with a sensible future of marriage and children on the horizon, right up until John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, returns from a sabbatical abroad and Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.

    Now Francesca finds herself unable to stay away and trying very hard not to think about why telling Michaela she and John are dating feels like it would ruin everything. Surely keeping that little detail about her relationship status cannot be seen as lying if Michaela never asked. Right?

    --

    Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.

    --

    Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?

    Summary

    Galinda drew a deep breath, shuddering. But Elphaba pressed on, tone dry. “When I came, they tried to stop me. Apparently it is news to only myself—this particular proclivity of yours.”


    Or: When Elphaba is away, Galinda only has her portrait to keep her company, and it does... in more ways than one.

    Summary

    "All of Oz thinks I’m dead.”
    “Not all of Oz,” Glinda said. Something like shame flickered across Elphaba’s green face. “Water, Elphaba, really?”
    “You know the rumors. Apparently I’m so wicked water can melt me.”
    “Well, I can agree that you’re wicked, but the rest of the sentiment is ridiculous.”

    Ten years after the melting, Glinda gets a visitor whom she is less than pleased (and unsurprised) to see.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    What starts wrong, ends wrong—that much Elphaba knew.

     

    And something had most definitely gone terribly wrong, Elphaba thinks, as the red fog clears up—revealing a young man with blonde curls, dark eyes, and those deep dimples.

     

    "I feel funny, Elphie," a deeper, eerily familiar, voice shakily says, "Am I flying? Why are you shorter?"

    Elphaba swallows, "Galinda..." she trails off, agitation in her tone.

    .

    Maybe Galinda was right.

    Maybe she Elphaba wasn't as powerful as she thought she was.

     

    (A transformation spell goes wrong, and Galinda is turned into an insufferably sassy, hot, and, of course—blonde man. Or, the magical genderswap!Galinda fic that absolutely no soul asked for.)
