Pairing: Glinda/Elphaba
Word count: 4649
Summary: Glinda knows Elphaba is alive and that she’s been back in Oz for years, because someone always seems to be watching her and looking out for her. But all she wants is to see her friend again, and she’s desperate enough to go to extreme lengths for it.

It started not long after the third anniversary of the Melting. Glinda remembers this, because that’s how she measures time: by the day the Wicked Witch melted. It wasn’t always like that, of course; there were the years before the Melting that Glinda measured time by the day that Elphaba left. And before that, though it was so long ago that she hardly remembers, she simply used the month and year like any other Ozian.
The eleventh anniversary of the Melting will be coming up soon, and Glinda doesn’t know whether she’ll survive this one. Every year she loses some of her ability to breathe, as well as a portion of her sanity, because every year she must pretend that the Wicked Witch is dead, and that she is grateful for it, and that she doesn’t know the Wicked Witch has been lingering just out of her sight for the last eight years.

but what I MIGHT write is a oneshot in which Glinda knows Elphaba isn’t dead, and Elphaba knows she knows, and she comes back to Oz to keep tabs on Glinda kind of acting as a guardian angel. And Glinda fucking hates it because she never actually gets to see Elphie, but also she would hate it more if Elphie weren’t around at all. So she sucks it up. Until something changes 👀
This may get darker than I initially planned. lol
nothing scarier than being a fan of a fic and then becoming mutuals with the author. like hi shakespeare. big fan of your fake dating au

Hey don’t cry. It’s okay. Just remember. You know you saved my life, right? If you hadn’t come into town when you did, I don’t know how long I would’ve lasted. These last few years have been everything. And through it all, through all the laughter and all the hardships, she was with you. She was choking you. If you come back, I don’t know how you’re going to feel. I don’t know if you’ll feel free, or if you’ll feel empty. But I want you to know, whatever… whatever hole she’s leaving, I’ll be there to help fill it, all right? I’ll be there for you. I’m not going to tell you to come back, I’m not going to try to compel you to come back, because that choice, Laudna, is yours now. No one gets to control you anymore, all right? Just know that I love you, and I’m here.
So like. I’m probably not going to write this because I love the book itself so much and I don’t know how well I’d rewrite it 😅 But PLEASE let me enlighten you all to a Soulmate (The Night World) Gelphie AU!
Glinda is an immortal vampire. Elphaba is an old soul, reincarnated and cursed to die by her 17th birthday every lifetime (would probably be more like 21st for this). Glinda finds her every time and tries to stop it but never can…and also was the first person to have ever killed Elphie in their first lifetime 😱 Madame Morrible as the ancient vampire hunting and killing Elphaba and trying to turn her so that her death would be permanent.
It could work the other way around too, but I figured Elphaba repeatedly dying to torture Glinda would parallel well with the melting 😂 Either way it’s so tragic!
