Mind the Gap by LaMombey

Summary
Galinda Upland and Elphaba Thropp technically work together—if you count different branches in entirely different parts of Oz as working together.
Until now, their paths had never crossed. But during the annual inter-branch fair, fate, bad timing, and a spectacular chain of unfortunate events shove them into the same booth, the same project… and, somehow, the same relationship.
Now they have to smile, nod, and convincingly act like they’re head-over-heels for each other in front of colleagues, clients, and the entire Emerald City corporate network. Which is fine.
Because all they have to do is survive the fair, keep the act going, and absolutely, under no circumstances start enjoying it. -

Summary
Galinda truly had no idea what to do. She began saying whatever came to mind. “She is green, which is fine obviously, but um…” She sputtered. “A-as you can see, she seems to have…veered from the Unnamed God’s path?” She said it more as a question than a statement, but her shark friends seemed to be absorbing it, so she continued on, channeling the confidence she was so good at faking. She didn’t dare glance at Elphaba, lest her already frail conviction disintegrate entirely.
...
This was a college with the depressing energy of a boarding school. Small, private, stuck-up, religious, all girls. Elphaba thought of it as a university that girls went to because they were either brainwashed or ‘troubled’. She was worried it would be a repeat of the hell she went through before Dulcibear convinced Frex to let her be homeschooled. Then again, she was a very different person than she was in elementary school. So really, she had nothing to worry about, as long as she didn’t give two fucks about anything or anyone in this school. Especially not Galinda.or
A modern college AU where they're basically the same in love idiots as canon except all they have to worry about is religion instead of dictatorship.

On the eve of Lady Glinda's retirement, Nor receives an invitation summoning her to Pertha Hills, the seat of the Upland Arduenna family.
To hear the entire story.

Obsessed (with your ex) by Gelphie_Ladybug

Summary
I was listening to Obsessed by Olivia Rodrigo and I was struck with the idea to make it sapphic. Some lyrics for reference:
"If I told you how much I think about her; you'd think I was in love."
"'Cause I know her star sign, I know her blood type; I've seen every movie she's been in, and, oh, God, she's beautiful"
"She's got those lips, she's got those hips"or
Galinda is obsessed with Fiyero's ex to make sure that Fiyero is loyal. That 's it. There is no other reason she is constantly thinking about Fiyero's ex.

Summary
Elphaba is The Wizard’s beloved daughter, Grand Vizier, and Emerald Sorceress of Oz. But she’s lonely because, even with her titles, everyone gives her a wide berth due to her skin and her standing.
Glinda is a high-standing citizen of the North. Her parents arrange for her marriage to the Emerald Sorceress so that the Uplands can gain a position of power. Glinda is willing to marry the intimidating green sorceress if it elevates her family's standing in society.

Summary
Not being able to see colour made many tasks difficult.
The most important struggle was coordinating outfits.
At least, it felt important to Galinda Upland.
“Momsie! What do you think of this outfit for my first day at Shiz?”
“Galinda dear, pink simply does not go with green!”
OR:
Until you meet your soulmate, you cannot see colour.

Summary
“That's nonsense!” Galinda shook her head in disbelief. “I've just made it to see if I remembered how.”
“And that's nonsense,” Fiyero let out a laugh. While Galinda's words were hushed, Fiyero hadn't a care in the world if he were loud. “If you have a flower, you may as well give it to someone special.”
Someone special.
Her gaze instinctively landed on Elphaba.
OR: Five times Galinda had given Elphaba a flower and the one time Elphaba returned it.

Summary
Galinda Upland is an up-and-coming architect with one of Oz' premier firms, Morrible & Diggs. She's most definitely straight. (But, still, she has sex with women and tells herself it doesn't count.)
Elphaba Thropp is the dour, antisocial chief legal counsel at the same firm. She's bi. She has needs. People aren't exactly lining up to date her, and Galinda is convenient, even if Elphaba knows better than to get involved with the most closeted woman she's ever met. (Besides, she's absolutely not looking for anything but sex.)
And thus, the arrangement.
Reader, you'll be shocked to find it goes off the rails.

Summary
“You’re asking me to lie to my friends,” Elphaba says slowly, “so you can make the guy you’ve been flirting with for the past year jealous. Instead of just asking him out like a normal person.”
Galinda has the decency to look a little sheepish at that.

Summary
There was no Dr. Dillamond to teach about the architecture during the neolithic period. No. Instead, she got herself a tall and slightly intimidating green woman.
The other students didn't seem to be paying attention to the project anymore, instead intently watching the situation unfold. Galinda's furrow of eyebrows didn't go unnoticed by a single soul in that room.Or
Elphaba is the "worst" substitute teacher ever, and Galinda is going insane over it.

Summary
"Tell me a secret," Elphie says one night when Galinda is ready for bed, and is longing on top of her pillows, pretending to read. Elphie has just got back some minutes ago, and is for some reason distraught. She hangs her jacket on the coat rack absentmindedly, stopping at the centre of their room. There is a cloud of emotion hanging over her head, and Galinda suddenly realises that she is out of time.
"You can't just demand secrets, Elphie," Galinda chides her, doing an admirable job of hiding the fact that her heart sits in her throat. The world buzzes at the edges of her vision. "You know how the game works."
"Alright," Elphie stands in the middle of the room, arms folded on her chest. Galinda averts her eyes from how this pose highlights Elphie's biceps. "Alright." She turns to Galinda. "My secret is that I think Fiyero is not good for you."
(or: Galinda struggles with intimacy in her relationship with Fiyero, but thankfully she has a friend who is always happy to help)

Summary
“It didn’t matter how or why. What mattered was that Elphie had left her again, left her with the Wizard and Morrible and a big empty room in a big empty palace with a big empty bed, and a big empty space in her heart where Elphaba Thropp should have been for the rest of her life. She fell asleep with tears in her eyes.
And she woke up back in her room at Shiz. There was a knock at her door. This time, she didn’t bother asking who it was.
“Miss Galinda? Are you awake?”
She turned over in her bed, facing the wall, and cried.”
Or: Galinda is stuck reliving the same day over, and over, and over again. Convincing Elphaba not to run away from the Wizard is surely why she's been cursed to this existence- if only her friend weren't so damn stubborn!

Summary
“Did you know when we were at school?” She asks into the darkness “That I wasn’t… that I liked…”
“That you liked women?”
Glinda nods. “Yeah. That I like women.”
Fiyero considers her. “I suspected.”
Glinda lets out a sigh so heavy she’s practically winded. “Well that’s just wonderful. Why didn’t anyone tell me? It would have made all of this so much easier.”

OR: Glinda finally catches on to the fact that she might not be the straightest person ever.
Set between Act 1 and 2. One shot, character study.

Oz is unforgiving to animals and anyone associated with them. Galinda knows it well. There is one reason only:
Galinda is an animal shifter and everything she has built will crumble if anyone finds out.
Perhaps, except for one.

Summary
It was all too confusing, like watercolors running together — Elphaba’s body against hers, Elphaba’s body which was too lean and pointy and hard, and Madame Morrible’s hand on her chin, and a cookie dissolving in her mouth, and a man’s hot breath on her earlobe, and a man’s large hands spreading apart her thighs.
After the funeral and their talk with Morrible, instead of going out with their friends, Glinda and Elphaba return to their room. Glinda turns to Elphie for clarity and comfort.

Summary
Elphaba Diggs was the verdant princess of Oz, the only child and heir of the Wizard himself. When she arrived at Shiz, she was the talk of the campus. Crowds parted around her, awed by the magic that seemed to radiate from her very pores. Flowers seemed to bloom around her, and the air even smelled sweeter in her presence. People said she was the second coming of the Sages, more powerful even than her father. One day, she would inherit all of Oz and bring the dawn of a new Emerald Age.
One social-climbing Gillikinese girl who aspired to be a sorceress was beneath the Wonderful Witch’s notice. Galinda wouldn’t stand for that. Elphaba was the most powerful woman in Oz, and Galinda was going to be by her side.
Work title from "Alice Blue Gown," many versions of which are available online, including one by Judy Garland!

Summary
As a young teenager, romance was never on Galinda’s mind. It never occurred to her that this was what’s normal, she didn’t realise she was supposed to have crushes neither did she ever want one. Several boys over years have made flirting attempts, there were no flusters, no heart flutters, no butterflies, no fantasies. They all ended with a face of confusion and awkward goodbyes.
Or
Galinda is Demiromantic, her love life is a nothing burger, until Elphie shows up.
