    Summary

    Shane’s eyes snap open. Wait a second.

    “Ilya,” Shane says, propping himself up on his elbows. “Ilya, wake up.”

    Ilya makes a pained noise, eyes still shut. “I shut curtains already.”

    “It’s not that. Ilya, hey. Don’t go back to sleep.” Ilya tries to bury back into Shane’s chest, but adrenaline knifes through Shane’s hangover long enough for him to peel Ilya off and roll him into his back. Ilya blinks blearily up at him, starfished in the sheets. Beautiful and naked and missing his mother’s cross.

     

    OR: When Ilya’s cross goes missing after the Centaurs celebrate their first Stanley Cup win, Shane is determined to get it back. And so are the Centaurs. And the rest of Ottawa.

    Summary

    It’s kind of funny, actually—or maybe it’s just surprising, or maybe it just catches him so off guard that Fiyero doesn’t actually know how he feels about it, and funny is easier than horrified or ashamed—but the first time that he undresses in front of Galinda, he actually forgets about the scars.

    Summary

    Sometimes Glinda imagines that for herself—not quite the beating, maybe. But a lovely faked death, a splotch of blood from an assassin's blade, and a life on the other side of being known. Where would she fit, she wonders? Would she pick flowers with Elphaba, refusing to kneel in the dirt and claiming it was to keep her dress clean, when really her joints had started to ache at the ripe age of fifty-one? Would she scold Fiyero for putting the bowls on the top shelf? Would she come into their bedroom some nights, and would they have missed her there, even though she would never slot between their bodies in that kind of dance?

    She can't spend too much time imagining such things, however. It's never real. And her reality needs her with the ferocity of a thousand hungry teeth, always, forever.

    --

    On Glinda and forgiveness--or, twenty-five years later, Glinda is faced with the same question.
