    Summary

    The Queen didn’t seem to mind her garden’s odd appearance (though Red often wondered if secretly she did—if secretly she yearned for naturally red roses instead of sickly white, for zinnias and lilies instead of corpse flowers and flytraps) but even by Wonderland standards they were bizarre. They grew at odd angles, leaves with sharp serrated edges even on pathos, and her teddy bear vines were thick with gray fuzz like mold. Where most of the wildflowers that grew in the fields of grass beyond their tower walls were brightly colored like bold dots of color peppering the horizon, the Queen’s garden was all in shades of bilious gray like bruises. Though she was loath to admit it, Red sometimes felt at home there among the shriveled buds; like her and these plants, both equally exposed to the cruel touch of the queen and unwilling products of her creation, were one and the same.

    OR,

    Red has some pretty intense trauma surrounding her mother's royal garden, evident by the thorn shaped scars marking her every fingertip.

    Of course, it would've been great if poor, sweet Chloe had known as much before signing them both up for Horticulture 101.

    Summary

    They migrate between beds like some sort of strange, three-bodied alien, always pressed together in tangled limbs and huffed laughter and gentle teasing. It works, somehow, and days turn into weeks turn into months, and for the first time ever, Elphaba thinks--hopes--suspects--she might not be alone

    OR

    None of them were supposed to interact at Shiz. They should've been separate, should never have even crossed paths, really, but they did and they can't change that and to be honest, they wouldn't do it even if they could. What they have is too good to be stopped by little things like society.

    Summary

    "Good evening, Captain Tiggular."

    The stack of papers in Fiyero’s arms dropped to the floor.

    Elphaba—alive, impossibly alive—stood half-hidden in the shadows of Glinda’s sitting room. If she hadn’t spoken, he might have walked right past her.

    Obligatory "while on the run, Elphaba is injured and must go to her friends in the Emerald City for help" fic. Now with more Thropple. (Rating for character injury)

    Summary

    Security Officer’s Log Stardate [2361.2]: As the Enterprise receives necessary repairs at Starbase One following the unprecedented outcomes of the Battle of Parnassus Beta, all landing party members of that mission have been called before open sessions of Starfleet and Federation leaders and scientists. The stated goal is to ensure the accurate dispersion of all known encounters with the Gorn race before a Starfleet revision of SOP for future encounters.

    or La'an and Kirk team up to survive something worse than a Romulan in the 21st century... politics in the 23rd. Matters get worse when figures from La'an's past emerge to finish what they started years before.
