    Summary

    I couldn’t go. She couldn’t stay.

    That is what Ga - Glinda tells herself the first night without Elphie. She spends it in a guest suite in the Palace, ushered there by Madame Morrible and visited by the Wizard and given any amenity she asks for and many she doesn’t. She thinks about Elphaba. From the moment she’d met her, Glinda had never stopped. And she won’t now. She can’t now.

    or, a history of Glinda and Elphaba.

    Summary

    Kissing Fatin is like a sedative; not in the way where someone’s forcibly injecting some cocktail directly into her bloodstream, but like something that sinks into her gums, makes all the edges and corners of the world look like around, not through; around, not over. Kissing Fatin is the opposite of smoke and mirrors, the opposite of gunpoint, the opposite of pressing her thumb against the sharp side of a knife just to see if it’ll cut.

    Kissing Fatin makes every moment after something to look forward to. It’s so simple, so miniscule, so inconsequential: Life can be good again, if she lets it.

    Summary

    Sterling found herself drawn to the anonymity of the letter writing. No one made her sign her own name, so she didn’t. Just like that. She wasn’t Blair’s sister or Luke’s girlfriend or the girl with the second highest grades in the fifth grade, she was just a person writing a letter. She signed it TS on a whim, because, well, she was still deeply in a Taylor Swift phase and ever since April had just - well, she just didn’t have anyone to talk to about it anymore. So she wrote letters to some random girl miles away, bent over a big wooden table with a curated variety of gel pens. It was fun, freeing, and something that was solely hers.

    And then, even better, she got them back. 
    ___

    Or, there's no way in hell that the two girls with the years long anonymous friendship who wrote letters to each other at camp and now frequently email could be the same two girls who are sworn enemies at school, right?

    Created with awe and reverence for You've Got Mail (1998).

    Summary

    “I don’t want to come over to your house,” April says into the phone, not bothering to try to keep the excitement out of her voice, “I want you to come over to mine. Where no one else will be there.”

    She hears a sharp breath, then a thunk through the line that she's 95% sure is Sterling dropping her phone. April grins to herself until Sterling’s voice is back on the line.

    “Yeah, uh, yes, I would definitely like that, yes,” Sterling fumbles, sounding slightly out of breath and April has to sit down to manage the wave of affection that courses through her.

    --

    Or, these two gals try desperately to bone and end up accidentally having emotional growth along the way.
