    Summary

    In the sweltering heat of the southern Munchkinland town of Linster, Elphaba Thropp never expected anything out of the ordinary. Long shifts collecting garbage, a rundown single-roomed apartment, and growing debt. These are ordinary. What is certainly unusual is a phone call, from the Emerald City, informing Elphaba that a viral post on OzPage had identified her soulmate. Not just any soulmate, either. According to half the internet, the birthmark on her arm is the exact mirror image of the pattern adorning Glinda Arduenna Upland. Glinda the Good, Oz’s most beloved celebrity, singer, philanthropist, and personal favourite of the Wizard himself. Within days, Elphaba finds herself dragged from obscurity into the blinding lights of the Emerald City, contractually engaged to the most famous woman in the country… who seems to despise her on sight.

    Summary

    Elphaba isn’t interested in the Emerald City’s glittering social season or the machinations of its marriage market. She’s come to the City to support her younger sister's ascension to the throne and help her find true love. Luckily, Nessa falls in love at the first ball of the season. Unluckily, her new love interest’s older sister is insufferable.

    Galinda, still reeling from a family tragedy, is just trying to shepherd her sisters through their first social season, marry her best friend, and restore her family’s finances. She’s not expecting the Queen of Oz to start courting her younger sister, or to have to spend so much time with Nessa’s prickly older sister, Princess Elphaba. At first, Galinda is happy to pretend that she's exactly the kind of brainless socialite that Elphaba thinks she is. But as first impressions fizzle out and she realizes the two of them are more alike than she could ever have suspected, Elphaba threatens to send Galinda’s carefully constructed facade spiraling and forces her to consider another path: one where they put their own happiness first, whatever the consequences.

    Or: a Regency AU very (very) loosely inspired by Bridgerton

    Summary

    When her father passes away, Elphaba Thropp inherits the struggling horse farm he left behind—and the mountain of debt that comes with it. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep the place alive, even if it means saying yes to a Hollywood production company that wants her to teach their latest rising star how to ride.

    Glinda Upland arrives in designer sunglasses, glossy hair, and the kind of smile that sells movie tickets. Elphaba expects a spoiled celebrity who’ll quit at the first blister. What she gets instead is someone stubborn enough to face early mornings, dirt under her nails, and the honest patience of a horse.

    Lessons in the saddle turn into lessons in trust, and between the dust, the long summer heat, and the quiet moments only the two of them share, Elphaba finds herself facing a truth she never planned for—some things are harder to hold onto than the reins.
