Summary
Things are already tense as April swipes into their shared room at the end of the hall, but it gets a whole lot worse when they actually enter. Ellen had promised the team double queen bed rooms; Sterling and April stand in silence and stare at the single king bed in front of them. Sterling’s heart is doing this thing where it climbs into her throat and beats against her windpipe, and she can’t swallow down any air at the thought of sleeping in such close proximity to April.

Summary
In careful, deliberate ways, Elphaba has found she and Galinda are not so different. In careful, deliberate ways, they have also learned from each other— what it means to be certain that you never need to be anyone but exactly who you are; what it means to know that there is someone who would never ask you to change. What it means when one day, you look in the mirror, and you see that you have anyway, because change is so very easy when someone loves you that much.
Which is to say, that in some fashion, Galinda, who has never been careful or deliberate, has barged her way into Elphaba’s quiet life and for once banished her own impulses in favor of new ones, in favor of the slow, connective kindness that can only be unearthed by the gentlest pair of hands.
(Or, the five times that Galinda asks Elphaba to tell her a secret, and the one time Elphaba asks her.)

Summary
The idle thought at the back of Glinda’s mind is that Nessarose never talked about her sister as beautiful.
She shakes herself to stop those thoughts, knowing she can’t have them, and instead gives Elphaba a smile. “Congratulations,” she says sweetly. “Nessarose never told me how talented you were.”
“Thank you,” Elphaba says, and takes a sip of her champagne. “So kind of you to come over when there are still reporters watching.”
“I...I didn’t-”

Summary
When Glinda dreams, she dreams of rain. Not the soft kind—the kind children sporting raincoats joyfully played in as it helpfully watered the plants. But, torrential rain. Destructive. Hard and heavy, pelting down, flooding the ground around her.
***
Or: Elphaba, in the wake of her death, haunts Glinda in her dreams.

Summary
“Fiyero won’t sleep with me,” she said. Their bodies were touching now, her naked clavicle against Elphaba’s leather coat. It had a musky female smell to it, amplified, she imagined, by the smell of Elphaba’s skin, her sweat, the sweet oils in her hair. It suggested rough, unspeakable things. If Elphaba had grown into the woman who could wear this coat, what else might she have grown into?
”He never touches me, unless we’re in public.” Her lips inches from Elphaba’s ear. “But I don’t want him, Elphie. I want you…”
__
Glinda sees Elphaba again the night before her wedding.
