Summary
He had never known what it was to choose for himself — he had always lived between duty and destiny. The sound of her laughter, the moonlight reflecting on the water, and the feeling of being truly alive for the first time — all of it blended into a memory he could never erase.
Luna had taught him to see the world with lightness, to do what one wants, not what one must. But maybe, in the end, what he truly wanted was her.
Now, amidst memories that burn and silences that speak too much, Harry wonders if this was the sum of who they were: stars in the night, pointing to different norths.

Summary
She knew, rationally, that what she was doing was wrong—or at least, it would be considered so by the rigid standards of society. Of course, she wasn’t naïve; she understood propriety, understood the rules that governed women like her. And yet, try as she might, she could not convince herself that this—this warmth, this stolen tenderness—could truly be called a betrayal.

or: Kate Sharma Dorset reflected on how events had unfolded until she found herself, in that moment, lying beside Anthony Bridgerton, her husband's best friend.

Taking place directly after As Long As You’re Mine, in an AU where Elphaba never receives a vision of Nessarose’s death. After their moment in the woods, Fiyero and Elphaba flee to Kiamo Ko.
(Loosely based on the Wicked bookverse Fiyero and Vinkus Country with some creative liberties and original ideas.)

Summary
Elphaba leapt off her broom, the ground rushing up to meet her. This was where Chistery had reported seeing the scarecrow last. He would still be nearby. He had to be. She ran deeper into the forest.
Fiyero was alive. He was alive and he was somewhere in this forest. He was alive and she had to find him.

Fiyero doesn't remember and Elphaba only realizes who the Scarecrow is after sending the flying monkeys after the Witch Hunters.Bookmarked by zyxing

Summary
“Don’t speak,” Fiyero warns him, and Feldspur knows deep in his bones that this is so much worse than he had anticipated when Fiyero had woken him up in the middle of the night to race toward the Emerald City, Madam Morrible’s announcement still ringing in their ears.
Never in twenty six years has Fiyero asked him to be silent, to pretend to be something he isn’t, to keep quiet for the sake and comfort of others.
But now, here, as he brushes his hand down Feldspur’s mane and whispers into his ear, his voice and hands alike trembling in the darkness of the once vibrant Emerald City, he knows that this is it.
This is what they’ve all feared, Animals from across all of Oz, from the corners of Munchkinland to the valleys of the Vinkus.
It’s here.

Feldspar POV during the Intermission. Fiyeraba. Hopeful/Happy ending!

Summary
In the halls of Shiz, Elphaba had always walked in the shadows— until the day the weight of loneliness grew too heavy, and she simply… fell. A silent fall, deep enough to almost erase her for good.
But at the bottom of the tunnel, where everything seems lost, small sparks begin to appear.As she tries to rebuild herself from invisible scars, the world around her shifts as well:
the roommate who once ignored her learns to finally see her,
the sister who hurt her tries to relearn how to love,
and the prince made of masks reveals he always knew exactly where his heart truly belonged.This is the story of how a girl who believed she deserved nothing slowly finds everything.
And of how light— even faint — always finds its way back.Bookmarked by zyxing

Summary
"Are you lost?" she asks, snapping the book closed with a thud for emphasis. "I get that the door has text on it, you know—words. Do you need help sounding them out?"
Fiyero just shrugs, sauntering closer. He pulls out a chair across from her and drops into it. "Reading’s tough," he says solemnly. "But I can manage two words if I really concentrate."
"Mhm." She points a finger, without looking up, at the sign behind her. "Try those next."
"Yep. Says Quiet Please." He leans forward, folding his arms on the table and dropping his chin onto them. "You’re the one making noise, though, by asking questions and frankly, bullying me."-------------------------------------------
Five daylight quarrels between Elphaba and Fiyero in the library—and one night when the arguing stopped and the library was closed.
This is a Shiz-Era fic, slightly deviates from canon post Lion cub scene, to give space for more university shenanigans.Series

Summary
“Oh, my Oz, Elphie! They are from a secret admirer!” Galinda practically bounced in place, the paper held aloft like a prize.
“So?” she said. “That’s hardly worth bursting an eardrum.”
But Galinda’s eyes sparkled in a very specific, unsettling way.
“But they’re for you!”
Or,
someone has been leaving flowers at Elphaba’s door for weeks, and she’s certain it’s a cruel joke—until the notes start feeling like truth, and she starts hoping, and maybe falling, for the one person she thought would never see her like that.

Fiyero looked up from where he was reading their latest letter from Glinda at the kitchen table. “May Lurline bless you.”
“I’m not sick,” Elphaba said flatly, without even glancing at him.
He smirked, setting his mug of coffee on the table. “Did I say you were?”
“You were thinking it.”

“Elphaba…” his voice caught in his throat. Besides his brief conversations with Feldspur, it was the first time he had truly spoken in a few days. “I know you’re here. Please, I want to see you.”
His ears strained against the silence, listening for any proof of the girl he’d been searching for. His eyes darted from tree to tree, hoping he’d catch sight of her. Finally, after what could’ve easily been an eternity, he heard a shaky inhale to his right.
“Why are you here, Fiyero?”

Summary
But right then, standing in the darkness of their living room with only the yellowed beams of streetlights streaking in through the windows, Rin Matsuoka glowed with earnest, beaming with so much unabashed happiness that he seemed to create starlight of his own.
Haru suddenly couldn’t speak, couldn’t even breathe, for the sight in front of him was overwhelming.
In between the last snowfall of winter and the first blush-pink blooms of spring, it dawns on Haruka Nanase that he may be in love.
