    Summary

    'You really are the most detestable thing I ever saw!' Glinda says hotly. 'Don't you have some hideous turtleneck convention to crawl back to? Why, what in Oz's name did I ever do to deserve such a horrendible colleague as you?!'

    Or; Elphaba has avoided fashion, and for good reason, until she is unwittingly hired as second assistant to the head of Ozmopolitan Shiz.

    Or or; The Devil Wears Prada AU!

    Summary

    “Do you remember Madame Morrible and her awful Prop and Ganda department? Well, I figured that I could put them to actual good use. And so I did a little image rehabilification.”

    “A little?”

    Glinda twirls a strand of blonde hair around her finger, not meeting her eyes. “Tiny. Microscopical. Infinitesimal. Just a whisper of a coordinated multiyear plan involving publicists, historians, theater troupes, and a very spirited group of fans.”

    Elphaba blinks.

    Glinda smiles sweetly.

    “Elphaba,” she says gently, “darling—to come back from a smear campaign, you simply must have good press.”

    —
    Or, Elphaba spends ten years being dead. Oz spends ten years falling in love with her. She did not request a redemption arc, let alone one so exuberant.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp, captain of the Flying Monkeys hockey team, is fiercely fighting for a playoff spot. Meanwhile, Glinda Upland, Oz’s beloved Olympic gold medalist in figure skating, is struggling to qualify for the next Olympics with her partner, Fiyero Tigelaar.

    Once the closest of friends, Elphaba and Glinda’s bond has been fractured long ago and deemed unrepairable. But when an unexpected event forces them to work together, old wounds resurface, and emotions long buried come to the surface. As dark secrets emerge, the walls around Elphaba’s world begin to crumble, leaving her to question everything she thought she knew.

    This story contains mature content, and specific trigger warnings will be provided along the way.

    Summary

    "See?" Elphaba said after a beat, only needing to whisper because she was right beside Galinda's ear now. The grip of her hands around Galinda loosened, but she didn't drop them. "You won't be doomed after all. You'll be able to steer yourself home."

    "I think I'd rather have you there with me," Galinda said, without really thinking about it. “Just in case."
