Summary
“What are you doing here?”
“I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”
“A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”
“You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”

Summary
Ava is not quite 19 years old when she moves away from her native Portugal to join a football club in a small town in Andalusia. Beatrice has just turned 20 and is playing for that same football club.
On the pitch, they have an immediate connection the moment they start playing together. Off the pitch, they become friends and soon fall for each other.
You see: Ava Silva will be a legend of the game, a generational star for her country; Beatrice will be one of the most important players in her generation, the one everyone wants on their team. But before all of that, they were just Ava and Beatrice, young and with so much to learn, and falling into a once-in-a-lifetime love.

Summary
Galinda Upland has a plan for everything. That is, until she blurts out her workplace nemesis's name as her fake girlfriend to her overbearing mother.
Elphaba Thropp is brilliant and infuriating - and the only person who has ever seen through Galinda's perfect facade.
When Elphaba reluctantly agrees to help with the charade, Galinda knows they have just six weeks to make their fake relationship convincing. The deadline? The upcoming Emerald City Gala, where her charming ex-fiancé Fiyero awaits.

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.

Summary
“Why is it upside down?” Glinda asks when she sees the tattoo.
When Elphaba raises into her stance, she points at her bent knee and looks up at Glinda.
“It’s not upside down - I am,” she explains. “It’s the last thing I see before the gun goes off. You’re the last thing I think about before the gun goes off.”
or
Paris Summer Olympics AU in which Elphaba is an up-and-coming sprinter, Glinda is the captain of the women's soccer team, and they slowly fall for each other over the course of the games.
