Summary
Bridgerton/Wicked Oneshot!
This Fiyero is inspired by Anthony Bridgerton and Elphaba and Galinda are inspired by Kate Sharma and her sister.
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
Lady Upland is undeterred and continues, regaling him with her very serious opinions on tulle versus lace. He feels his eyes start to glaze over as he struggles to maintain the façade of an engaged conversant.
He allows his gaze to wander briefly, a decision he regrets when he nearly stumbles upon meeting a most confusifying sight: what appears to be a willowy young woman dressed entirely in black lace. It would not be an uncommon sight at a ball, aside from the unconventional choice of gown colour, if it were not for the fact that the woman is green.
He closes his eyes and shakes his head, wondering if it is possible that a mere glass of champagne had altered his mind. When he opens his eyes again, the woman is a mere blur of black and green as she disappears through the crowd and through an embellished archway. In his distraction, he misplaces his feet, stepping on one of the young lady's slippers.
No beta, but I did QA.

Summary
Welcome back to The Rake and the Fae. I am expanding this into a series of one-shots which will alternate between the perspectives of Lord Tigelaar, Lady Elphaba and Lady Galinda.
Next up, Elphaba's POV!
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
As they converse in hushed tones, Elphaba remains standing with the Viscountess. She notices that the Lord’s gaze flickers over Galinda's face to meet her own at various intervals throughout their conversation. She finds herself musing, quite unbidden, that he does in fact have a pleasing face—with the strength of his jaw, his slanting nose, and his stormy blue eyes.
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Dear gentle readers, I am back with another installment of the Rake and the Fae.
This is my first Galinda POV for this story. I find Galinda a bit difficult to write, but there is a lot of yearning here which I enjoy.
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
Elphaba was insistent that she would never marry, so sure was she that no man would ever be able to look past her skin. So she had pledged to be Galinda's lady-in-waiting forevermore. Though deeply saddened at her friend's inability to appreciate her true beauty, Galinda was unwilling to refuse this offer; the prospect of having Elphaba at her side lifelong was close enough to Galinda's true desire to offer comfort and compromise.
As always, I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers! Here is another installment of the Rake and the Fae.
I think Fiyero is my favourite to write in this universe. Gotta love the yearning and emotional constipation!
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
She titters her agreement prettily, before adding, “Lady Elphaba will be joining us as my chaperone.”
This was a slight hitch in the plan, though not entirely unexpected. As lady's trusted companion, a lady-in-waiting acting as chaperone is a common occurrence. He cannot deny that he had hoped her parents would take up the mantle. He was none too interested in them, which made it easier for him to keep his attention where it belonged. Nevertheless, he must be gracious.
“Of course, as you wish my lady,” he acquiesces as they begin their stroll along the pathway, Lady Galinda's hand tucked neatly into the crook of his arm.

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers! Each time I write in this world, I fall a little more in love. Blasting the Wicked sound track and watching Bridgerton season 2 while I write, for inspiration 😍.
Elphaba is about to get a bit of a shock that Galinda might not be quite so offended by Fiyero's opinions on marriage...
Here is an excerpt in lieu or a summary:
“I don't wish to upset you, darling,” she mutters in a pained voice.
“You have my word that I won't be upset, Elphie,” she reassures gently. “You can tell me anything.”
Elphaba opens her eyes again, but they remain cast down. “I overheard Lord Tigelaar having a truly awful conversation with some of the suitors. I know you are fond of him, darling, but I don't believe his character is kind. I don't—” she pauses as though it hurts her to finish her thought. “I don't believe he will ever love you, Glin. I think he is just looking for a wife of duty,” she finishes, looking away as though she cannot bear to meet her eyes.
No beta, but it has be QA'd.

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers!
I hope you enjoy this new installment of the Rake and the Fae.
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
“You should know, Lady Galinda does not share my misgivings. She is, ah, still amenable to the match, loathed that I am to admit it. But she must exercise her own free will and I will not stand in her way. Just—” she hangs her head, her mind feels heavy with emotion. “Just do not hurt her, she doesn't deserve it.”
“You have my word that I mean the lady no harm,” he promises solemnly.
She nods silently, still turned away from him.
“Then I bid you good day my lord,” she offers simply, urging her horse forward.
She hears him call back “Good day, my lady,” as her mount takes off at a canter. She chances a glance back at him. His face is awash with an unreadable emotion. If she didn't know better, she would think it was longing. Indeed it appears something is haunting. His gaze seems to be anchored on her retreating form. He is vexing to be sure, and arrogant, but she can see now that even his privilege has not protected him from the cruelty of life.
No beta, but I did QA.

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers!
This next installment of the Rake and the Fae is going to take on a slighly different format. It will be a multi-chapter installment in the series focusing on the arrival of the Uplands (and Elphaba) at the Tigelaars Country Estate Kiamo Ko, and the antics that ensue.
Bridgerton fans will have an of what we are in for, but there will be nuances to accomodate Wicked into the plot.
I'm not sure yet how many chapters will take place at Kiamo Ko, it all depends on how cooperative my muses are 😄.
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers. So it turns out I lied and I do have another chapter today after all!
The shamless torture of this poor trio continues!
Please see the excerpt in lieu of summary:
Turning her head to break his gaze, she ponders why it is that she cannot bring herself to do just that. Maybe it is because she does nothing in half measures and she doesn't think she could lie convincingly. Or maybe it is because on some level she wants him to know that she does feel it. The thought makes her feel nauseous.
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers!
Be prepared for this installment, I would consider it the climax of this story and it's emotionally rough...
Excerpt in lieu of summary:
“I hope to put an end to this madness!” she exclaims, throwing her hands up in the air. “To leave you to your future with my best friend. To protect my loyalty to the only woman who has ever valued me. I can live an independent life. I can make my own way, my own choices for once, instead of living at the mercy of other people’s charity and good nature.”She is also heaving now and she wishes more than anything that he would cease with this emotional torture.
“Well, that just proves to me that you are utterly blind to the reality of our situation,” he hisses.
“I beg your pardon?” His tone and words have ignited her ire."
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers to the next installment of the Rake and the Fae.
This turned out a bit angstier than I first anticipated, but happy times are around the corner!
Please see the excerpt in lieu of summery:
“I know that it is early,” he acquiesces, “but could you please impress upon her the urgency of the situation?”
“I'm afraid that is not possible, my lord,” the man insists. “She does not seem to be here.”
He feels disquiet rise within him. Where else could she possibly be in this weather? And then the maid reappears and whispers to the footman, “One of the horses is gone too.”
In that moment, he feels as though his stomach turns to stone and his lungs constrict, for he knows exactly where she is. His devolution into terror is immediate.
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Another installment of the Rake and the Fae (I can't quite believe how long this has become, it was originally intended to be a one shot).
BUT the good news is that there is finally some fluffy happiness in this installment to balance out the angst.
Here is an excerpt in lieu of a summary:
He stands to move from the bed back to his chair.“My lord, if I am to owe you my life for your gallant rescue, I believe it might be appropriate for you to address me by my given name.” Her eyes are averted, but the corner of her mouth is lifted in levity.
Unrestrained joy blooms in his chest.
“I should like that very much, Elphaba, but only if you will do the same.”
She offers him a full smile now.
“Very well, Fiyero,” she grins.
He returns her smile as he stands.
“I will take my leave now, Elphaba, but it would please me greatly if you could assure me that you will get some sleep.”
“You make many requests this evening, Fiyero, but I will acquiesce if you make the same promise.”
I hope you enjoy!!

Summary
Welcome back dearest gentle readers! Another installment of the Rake and the Fae and the long dreaded appearance of Frexpar Thropp. Gah, how I loath him!!
But never fear! I have added lots of sugar and spice to help you tolerate the bitter pill the is Frexpar!
Here is an excerpt:
“How is she?” he murmurs under his breath.
“It has been a challenging day thus far, and likely to only become more so,” Galinda whispers back, her gaze not leaving the touching scene of Elphaba crouching in front of Liora as the little girl regales her with tales of the day's lessons.
“I wish it could be avoided, but regardless, we will protect her. She will not have to face him alone.” He turns towards her now.
Galinda’s eyes leave Elphaba’s to meet his own.
“And I am glad of it, but you must prepare yourself. Baron Thropp's cruelty knows no bounds,” she murmurs, and her expression is uncharacteristically dark.
Fiyero finds himself lost for words at this admission as the pit of dread in his stomach grows.
I hope you enjoy!

Summary
Dear gentle readers, welcome to another installment of The Rake and the Fae!!!
This is something of a filler chapter before the wedding/honeymoon, but important to the story nonetheless.
I know some will be sad to hear this, as am I, but this will likely be the last Galinda POV before the epilogue. What I can promise, is that the Galinda we hear from in the epilogue will be very happy.
Here is an excerpt:
And in that moment, as she holds Elphaba in her arms, she knows that the pain of bearing witness to the past weeks had been worth it.
Her final sacrifice will be to attend the wedding, to watch as her love promises herself to another. She is aware that Elphaba does not expect her to attend, but she cannot bear the thought of Elphie having no one of her own in attendance. The Tigelaars are fond of her, that is undeniable, but they are first and foremost Fiyero’s family. The members of the ton in attendance have never embraced Elphaba openly, and so she feels she must be there as a friendly face in the audience on the most important day of her friend's life.
I hope you enjoy!! ❤️💚💙

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers!!
I've been a bit MIA this week because I've been unwell, but I'm back with TWO installments today, so check out the other update which is another standalone chapter.
I had actually intended to go straight to the wedding/honeymoon, but it seemed a bit abrupt, so this is a just a little filler and an excuse to have Elphaba and Fiyero lust after each other a bit more before they actually get their wedding night 😉😏
Here is an excerpt:
Inhaling deeply and tugging at the restriction of her stays, she ponders sitting for a moment to collect herself, when the door clicks open once more. Startled, she spins around to find herself face to face with Fiyero.
“What...” she stutters, her heart thumping erratically in her chest. She cannot tell if it’s fright or mere proximity to the object of her desire.
“Are you avoiding me, darling?” he questions with a smirk, descending on her, his pace somewhat predatory.
“N-no?” she stammers again, watching his approach with wide eyes, arousal coursing through her blood.
“Is that a question or an answer?” he drawls smugly, clearly enjoying his upper hand.
I hope you enjoy!!! 🩷💚💙

Summary
Welcome back gentle readers!!
Aaaaaand we finally have the WEDDING!!!
I actually wasn't going to write the wedding directly, I was going to have Elphaba and Fiyero reflect on it during the honeymoon. But I couldn't get how dumbstruck Fiyero would be watching Elphaba walk down the aisle, so here you have it!!!
Here is an excerpt:
It is more than a relief to finally meet this day where he will become a husband to the most exemplary woman—person—he has ever known. Despite all his ignorant intentions of the past, his marriage would not be one of duty, but rather a marriage of deep love, constant bickering, laughter, and passion. It will be a partnership between true equals.Before he had met Elphaba, he had always pictured his wedding with a looming sense of dread. He had imagined the morning of the ceremony to involve much pacing and tugging at his hair, and he had expected to need at least a measure of brandy to get himself down the aisle.

Summary
And so gentle readers, we have reached the penultimate installment for this series. There will be two chapters in this installment and then an epilogue posted separately.
Here we will check in with Fiyero and Elphaba after almost two years of marriage. Obviously they are still obsessed with each other. And it may not be surprise that Elphaba being pregnant is throwing Fiyero into a bit of turmoil.
I want to make it clear that this is NOT the happy ending I have been promising for Galinda. Yes she is happier now, but I have plans for her, this is just the set up. For Bridgerton show fans, think Fran's story. 😉 If she can have Michaela, Galinda's gonna get her girl!!
I hope you enjoy, I'm just going to cry into my pillow that's it's nearly time to say goodbye to these characters!!

Summary
Dearest gentle readers, we have finally reached the end The Rake and the Fae.
A very bittersweet moment for me as this was one of the first fics I wrote after being compelled by the similarities between Kate and Anthony and Elphaba and Fiyero. It was only ever meant to be a one shot, and here were are at the conclusion and it is over 100000 words. I could never have predicited this!
Thank you to everyone who has read this story and especially to those who left kudos and such kind words of encouragement. These characters have been a joy to write and I will miss them dearly.
I hope you enjoy this final chapter 💙💚💖
