Summary
"And who are you, exactly?"
Galinda pushed her glasses up her nose. "Upland. Galinda Upland," she said, channeling every ounce of friendly energy she could. Elphaba did not seem like the type to warm up easily, and Galinda could not leave without her story. "I'm with OzCo Magazine."
"Hmm," Elphaba rounded her desk and sat back in her chair, folding her hands under her chin to study Galinda. "Shame. I thought you were a journalist."
"I'm a reporter," Galinda corrected, though sweetly. "That's why I'm here. To get your side of the story."
OR, Galinda is Supergirl, and Elphaba moves to National City to take over her father's disgraced company.

Had Elphaba's eyes always held those flecks of gold - like stolen sunshine trapped in emeralds? Had her hair always spilled like midnight silk, woven by angels under the moonlight? Had her lips always curved with that delicious disdain? Sweet Oz, was she always this... perfect?

Summary
“In her hands crumples a poster extracted from inside Glinda’s silk pillowcase. Bold text, red upon green. ‘Bring HER down,’ it reads. The color is faded in neat divisions where she’s folded and unfolded it over and over again in study. The drawing doesn’t look very much like the Witch, Glinda always thinks. Maybe the nose is sharper? The skin—a sicklier shade, smoother, more wax-like than human? She can’t identify the flaws with any accuracy now. It’s been too many years. But the nails, yellowed, are wrong.”
Or, Glinda the Good is too old for this now.

Summary
What can you do with regret? So little. What can you do without it? Kafka’s repeated history is a holy scripture of it.
It’s why Kafka has dashed herself against Himeko again and again, expecting nothing different, and yet each time, it’s a new life, a new horror, a new delight.
Kafka is playing out the script in a time loop. If something goes wrong, it’s not a problem: just die and start over. She’s on her 996th, soon to be 997th, loop. And sweet, darling, horrible Himeko shouldn’t remember a thing, so she can repeat their mistakes over and over — that is, until Himeko finds a cryptic message that messes her perfect looping life up.

“Am I dead?” Jingliu gasps.
“No.” Ruan Mei pries Jingliu’s mouth open, holding the tongue down with her thumb. “You are so delightfully alive. And now I have the pleasure of putting you back together.”

“What are you doing here?”
“I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”
“A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

“I don’t have sex.”
Agatha’s face screwed up somewhere between delight and incredulity, “You don’t ever?” She scoffed, “As in you’ve never at all? How long have you been here?”
“Since the inception of life itself.”
“And you’ve never fucked?” The way she said it, it did sound a little stupid, “What do you do to pass the time?”
“I scare children,” Death shifted in her chair, still rubbing at the skin of one hand with the other. No wonder Agatha had nowhere to live, she thought. She was unbearable. “Amongst other things.”
*
Or,
Upon meeting Death, Agatha takes it upon herself to educate her on some of the finer points of being human.

Summary
“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”
It was loving in the beginning.

She shakes her head. “What did you think this was going to be, Rhaenyra? Quickies in my office? You going to finger me in the lunch line?”
Rhaenyra quirks a brow. “I’d wait until we sat down, at least.”

Summary
“When we met you were eighth in line to the throne.” She’d whispered, eventually. “Your royalty was so obscure and your name so ungoogled and as beautiful as it is your face so unknown that our life was almost normal—it almost seemed like it would be. Like it would be always, even.”
“I couldn’t predict the accident.” Rhaenyra had seethed. “Or the referendum.”
“I know, Rhaenyra.” Her eyes were long and deep and sad. “But neither could I.”

“Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”
Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”
“And the Queen.”
The smile drops from her face.

[Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

"I like collars and leashes,” says Kafka, not entirely off-handed, not entirely serious. She can’t be, right? She can’t possibly be serious. Right?
"Like a dog?” Himeko asks.
"For the right woman, I can even bark. Woof.” She smirks.
Kafka gets topped to pieces by Himeko.

Summary
It rains when she comes for him, because of course it does.
He hasn’t made a single noise since he’s been here. Not a word.
The tears, on the other hand, are more difficult to handle. He cannot suppress those.
It’s the reason he was discarded, after all. It makes sense he would be unable to stop them now.
He is no archon. He is no god. He is not anything.
Nahida disagrees.
