    Summary

    Fiyero and Elphaba have been orbiting each other for months at Shiz within their little Charmed Circle: him, a carefree young Vinkun prince with a love for freedom and distaste for rules; her, a studious sorceress in training with a sharp wit and unflinching determination. Despite their outward differences, they're drawn together, and when Fiyero finally dares to pursue his heart's desire and Elphaba lowers her carefully built walls, they discover their feelings for one another and go on a their first date

    Summary

    Trying to explain it makes Glinda realize how little she understands of the past few days – weeks, really: a letter from Elphaba, delivered by a Pigeon at her window, entreating her for help. Elphaba, alive somehow against all odds. And Fiyero too, apparently right there under her nose all along, hideously transformed into that straw abomination. And then transformed again, worse still, back to this state of brokenness, on the edge of death.

    Elphaba has been the architect of it all, Glinda thinks, yet barely present. Certainly not explaining or apologizing. Talking about resources and expectations. Telling her that Fiyero didn’t want her involved. Suddenly she feels like the biggest fool of all, for trusting Elphaba yet again despite all of the times she’s been betrayed.

    Summary

    It all starts with a spell going wrong.

    Now Elphaba and Fiyero are magically bound together, they can’t stop bickering, and they may have also accidentally become the talk of the campus.

    Between awkward sleeping arrangements, one-handed duels, and Glinda’s unauthorized stage adaptation--falling in love might just be the least humiliating part.

    Main story is COMPLETE by Ch 11. Future updates will be EPILOGUES 🩵

    Summary

    "Are you lost?" she asks, snapping the book closed with a thud for emphasis. "I get that the door has text on it, you know—words. Do you need help sounding them out?"
    Fiyero just shrugs, sauntering closer. He pulls out a chair across from her and drops into it. "Reading’s tough," he says solemnly. "But I can manage two words if I really concentrate."
    "Mhm." She points a finger, without looking up, at the sign behind her. "Try those next."
    "Yep. Says Quiet Please." He leans forward, folding his arms on the table and dropping his chin onto them. "You’re the one making noise, though, by asking questions and frankly, bullying me."

    -------------------------------------------

    Five daylight quarrels between Elphaba and Fiyero in the library—and one night when the arguing stopped and the library was closed.
    This is a Shiz-Era fic, slightly deviates from canon post Lion cub scene, to give space for more university shenanigans.
