    Summary

    “You know, you could just show off your magic in front of Morrible again and we can skip all this,” Fiyero whispered to her, wrapping an arm around her waist.

    “I’d rather stay off of her radar, thank you very much. When I destroy both her and the wizard, I’d rather they not see it coming,” Elphaba whispered back, failing to keep the vitriol out of her voice.

    Or: Elphaba and Fiyero travel back in time from Dorothy's 'defeat' of the wicked witch. Things are going to be better this time around.

    Summary

    Galinda Upland (of the Upper Uplands) is having a disastrous start to her first year at Shiz University. There's nothing wrong with liking things exactly the way she likes them, but nothing is going according to plan. Not only is she forced to share a dorm with a green freak like Elphaba Thropp, but she's also been unceremoniously dumped by Fiyero, who is looking for someone more "serious"... like Elphaba.

    Determined to prove a point, Galinda makes a bold wager with her friends. Galinda bets a hundred dollars that she can seduce Elphaba and steal a kiss before Fiyero ever gets the chance.

    How hard could it be?

    Summary

    “It’s been three weeks since the semester began, and she’s… well, she’s not acting like herself."
    ____________________

    When the first semester at Shiz ends, everyone goes home for the holidays. For most students, this is a welcome break from the business of life at university, a relaxing few weeks spent at home with family and old friends.
    For Elphaba, it means being trapped with her father once more.
    When she returns to Shiz again, she isn't acting like herself. And Galinda doesn't understand it.
