    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp had solved complex magical theorems, debated political philosophy until professors wept, and once made a third-year law student faint just by glaring—but none of that prepared her for the greatest academic challenge of her life: figuring out how to tell Galinda Upland she was in love without (a) vomiting, (b) setting something on fire, or (c) accidentally confessing via interpretive dance.

    Summary

    Had Elphaba's eyes always held those flecks of gold - like stolen sunshine trapped in emeralds? Had her hair always spilled like midnight silk, woven by angels under the moonlight? Had her lips always curved with that delicious disdain? Sweet Oz, was she always this... perfect?

    or

    What if Galinda's family had a love curse?

    or

    The Gomezification of Galinda Upland.

    Summary

    And so, they grow. Into people. Into versions of themselves that neither child would recognize.

    Elphaba becomes braver. Sharper. She doesn’t flinch at stares anymore, though they still come. The Gillikinese that the girl had taught her becomes something more. They are whole conversations now, scrawled in notebooks she hides from her father.

    The image stays though. Of a pointy hat blowing in the wind. A poppy in blonde curls.

    Sometimes she wakes with grass stains on her clothes and laughter in her chest that doesn’t belong to anyone she knows.

    Sometimes, she swears the hat calls her name. In every dream, she almost catches up.

    She never does.

    By the time she’s twenty, she doesn’t dream of catching up anymore.
