    Summary

    "You've never been kissed." As she keeps speaking, Galinda finds a giddiness rising within her. It's much easier to offer help rather than ask for it, after all. "I can help you practice, too! For whenever you decide to date someone!"

    Another stretch of silence, but Galinda is steadily regaining her usual confidence. Because had she not just been wishing for an acceptable reason to kiss her best friend? And if she's helping Elphaba with all of this, as well—well, that's so many birds with so few stones!

    or

    Galinda needs practice doing something she's never tried before. Who better to ask for help than her best friend? But Galinda quickly discovers the truth about what--and who--she really wants.

    Summary

    It’s then that Galinda realizes two important things.

    One: that while she herself is lacking in experience, she’s been called to be a teacher here, for Elphaba.

    Two: she wants to kiss Elphaba more desperately than she’s ever wanted to kiss anyone.

    Summary

    Elphaba Thropp just moved in and she already has a problem: too many pink packages, a loud neighbor and very little patience.

    Galinda Upland has her own opinions about noise complaints and about the green girl who listens a little too closely through the wall.

    What starts as irritation turns into something much harder to ignore.

    Summary

    I was listening to Obsessed by Olivia Rodrigo and I was struck with the idea to make it sapphic. Some lyrics for reference:
    "If I told you how much I think about her; you'd think I was in love."
    "'Cause I know her star sign, I know her blood type; I've seen every movie she's been in, and, oh, God, she's beautiful"
    "She's got those lips, she's got those hips"

    or

    Galinda is obsessed with Fiyero's ex to make sure that Fiyero is loyal. That 's it. There is no other reason she is constantly thinking about Fiyero's ex.

    Summary

    "Whatever she does to herself, Elphaba will mirror. It’s not her hands doing the touching, but in this way, Galinda is able to bring her pleasure. She feels a rush at the thought."

    or

    Galinda discovers Elphaba has never touched herself before. Being the good friend she is, Galinda decides to take it into her own hands (so to speak) and show her the ropes. As friends, of course.

    Summary

    “Come with me.” Elphaba’s mouth completely bypasses her brain which seems to be a terrible side effect of being around Galinda.

    Galinda scrambles up on to her knees, “what?”

    “To Colwen Grounds.” Elphaba tries valiantly to fight off the warm flush that’s working its way across her cheeks, “come with me to Colwen Grounds.”

    Or:

    Elphaba invites Galinda to spend Lurlinemas with her.

    Summary

    *

    Then the girl took a deep breath as if she was going to speak, but she just ended up shutting her eyes tight, and she waved a hand at them. “I’m sorry,” she said, setting her cup of water down while she tried to make sense of it all, “but let me get this straight.” Galinda nodded enthusiastically as Elphaba got her bearings. “*You*,” she opened her eyes and pointed at Fiyero, “want to watch *us*,” she waved the finger frantically between her and Galinda, “have *sex* with each other.” Galinda squeaked at the frankness of it, and Fiyero bit his lip.

    OR

    Galinda gets an absolutely *brillaint* idea to satisfy her boyfriend: have sex with a girl in front of him !! So, of course, she asks her best friend for help. Because she wants to please her boyfriend. And no other reason... what other reason could she possibly have?

    But then she enjoys it a little more than she should.

    Prompt: Threesome (I almost contemplated actually doing what I was supposed to, but I don't like Fiyero enough to let him participate so I cucked him. I like this better anyway, and I wanted to do one of the other prompts instead of voyeurism tomorrow. This... kind of counts as a threesome... right?)

    Summary

    Galinda sits on the bed next to her. "You see, I taught you the ways to flirt and flounce, but what happens after that? You simply must be prepared!”

    “Um,” Elphaba responds, not liking where the conversation is going. The likelihood of her actually needing any of that information is pretty slim. Non-existent, really, even if Galinda doesn’t get it. “I think it’s fine, honestly.”

    “Nonsense!” Galinda almost shouts. “Tonight, I’m going to teach you how to kiss a boy!”

    ***

    Galinda teaches Elphaba how to kiss. It's important to be prepared. For the... boys? She experiences a lot of comphet. Be patient.

    Summary

    “Would you like to live in a romance book?” Galinda asks.

    That finally makes Elphaba lift her gaze from her notes. She looks at Galinda like she’s said something incredibly weird. To Galinda’s defense, she hasn’t said anything that weird. It’s totally normal to ask a book enthusiast if they’d like to live in a book. 

    “Why?” 

    “For the… romance?” 

    “Haven’t thought about it,” Elphaba answers. “Might be interesting.”

    “Interesting?” 

    “Sure.”

    ****

    Or: The one where Galinda has been raised never to pursue a man, but be pursued by him. Everything changes when she realizes she’s interested in a woman. She tries to flirt with Elphaba subtly, but Elphaba is painfully oblivious.

    Summary

    “If only someone paid attention to their surroundings while they were flying around on that dirty old thing.” Glinda gestures with a curled lip towards Elphaba’s broom, and Elphaba huffs in irritation.

    “Excuse me for not considering all the other flying people out there,” Elphaba drolls, then glances around. They’re in some sort of contraption—a metal platform encased in a shiny, shifting transparent sphere—hovering steady in the fog. “What the hell even is this thing?”

    “My bubble,” Glinda announces with a proud lift of her chin.

    Or: Bubble sex. Sex in the bubble. And what comes after. (AKA, the one where they start hooking up during intermission and Act II)

    Summary

    After graduating from Shiz University, Elphaba and Galinda are reunited at their five year Shiz reunion and must navigate new and old feelings under the arrangement that they can only be together “for the weekend” of the reunion.

    ———

    “It’s not perfect.”

    “Nothing good in this life ever is.”

    Elphaba turned to face Galinda. The angle was awkward and she couldn’t use her hands the way she wanted to because they were covered in clay, but she managed to peck Galinda’s lips. “I can think of one good thing that is.”

    Summary

    Galinda is so worried that Elphaba doesn’t trust her enough to ask for her help that she doesn’t realize the true nature of her own feelings toward her green friend. When Elphie promises not to leave her behind again, Galinda realizes that what she really wants is to be by Elphie’s side forever.

    Tumblr Prompt: The Elphaba’s Promise deleted scene, but Madame Morrible doesn’t interrupt and they sleep together on that couch. Elphaba gives consent and wants to be with her, but Galinda can literally feel her trembling with nerves. Galinda will be nervous too because she loves her and this is with a new person, but Elphie is a bundle of nerves. Also one of them should clumsily try to figure out how to get their clothes off at some point.

    Summary

    Having a girlfriend is funny. It makes you do funny things. Funny things like giving up your coat when it’s cold out. Funny things like coming to the realization that though you hate the cold, you hate the idea more that she is.

    “It looks perfect on you,” Galinda tells her, her bare arms covered in goosebumps as they walk back from town one night after dark. She can’t take her eyes off of Elphaba in her favorite grey coat with the pink buttons.

    (Or, four times they share clothes.)
