I know this event just wrapped, but are there any plans for doing it again next year???

Hello hello! There has been talks of doing this again next year. I will not lie. It is a LOT to do. I’ve spent hundreds of hours and a few hundred dollars organizing it. I want to say yes. But I cannot do this again without additional admin help. I had AMAZING help this year, but I’d need a co-organizer or two before I can commit to this again.

As a less structured event I have been am toying with the idea of doing a Gelphie Gal Pal Week in February. Would that be of interest?

What Gelphie Fandom Event would you participate in?

I can finally share my piece for the @gelphiebigbang2025 , inspired by - Can I Have You? (If I Never Let You Down by Madison / heykingly.

Technically a spoiler for their ending in that fanfic, but, if you are craving a Gelphie happy ending though it’s a must read

[gelphiebigbang2025]

Now this is the ending id have liked in Wicked For Good! What about you Gelphie fans?

Go check out the amazing collaboration between HeyKingly and @a-curious-squirrel!

Broom vs Bubble? I think Gelphie would have a cute little back and forth over the potential and mostly likely roast each other over their method of travel. Inspired by the lovely prompt from @tweenlove-n-hate @gelphiebigbang2025, if Gelphie decided to teach each other how to ride/travel by their respective method. I went a bit freeform with it and if anyone's up for it, would love to see this in actuality, Happy Wicked 2 release everyone!

[gelphiebigbang2025]

There were a LOT of prompts and inspiration held during the Gelphie Big Bang. This is just one of them!

Meeting between Glinda and Chistery

Part of @gelphiebigbang2025 event. This time I had the pleasure of collaborating as a last minute backup for lovely @kluelessbibliophile and their story "Blossoms in the Dark".

It's a post-canon hanahaki AU, but it also includes quite a bit more! Do check out the written work, the author put quite a lot of work in it.

The scene depicted here is of a meeting between Chistery and Glinda. She actually talks to a few more characters, which I found very interesting and the dialogue was enjoyable (yes, the Maidens do make an appearance).

It's just the beginning, so I hope you do get curious and check out what happens next!

Gelphie Big Bang 2025

@gelphiebigbang2025

My first Big Bang event, and I got the pleasure to write a fic for one of my favorite couples, Gelphie, in honor of the Wicked: For Good movie release!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary: At Shiz University, everyone knows the green girl, but what they don’t know is that she’s an aspiring musician, but she prefers solitude, spending as much time as possible in the studio and away from her roommate, whom she despises. Meanwhile, her roommate, Galinda (a film major), is in search of an artist for her music video assignment, but when she finds out Elphaba is a musician, conflict arises, and the two must learn how to set aside their differences to work together.

Who doesn't like an AU where the main characters come together even through their creative differences!?

My @gelphiebigbang2025 fic is finally here! 

The fic is based on this Tumblr post. The art for this fic was created by the wonderful and talented @rosefuckinggenius. You can view the AO3 version of the GORGEOUS art here. 

Fandom: Wicked - All Media Types, Wicked (Movie 2024) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Elphaba Thropp/Galinda Upland Characters: Galinda Upland, Elphaba Thropp, Nessarose Thropp, Fiyero Tigelaar Additional Tags: Lesbian Galinda Upland, Elphaba Thropp/Galinda Upland-centric, Sharing a Bed, Roommates, Friends to Lovers, Flirting, First Time, Thigh Riding, Oral Sex, Enthusiastic Consent, Shiz Era, Romantic Comedy Summary:

“Would you like to live in a romance book?” Galinda asks.

That finally makes Elphaba lift her gaze from her notes. She looks at Galinda like she’s said something incredibly weird. To Galinda’s defense, she hasn’t said anything that weird. It’s totally normal to ask a book enthusiast if they’d like to live in a book. 

“Why?” 

“For the… romance?” 

“Haven’t thought about it,” Elphaba answers. “Might be interesting.”

“Interesting?” 

“Sure.”

_____

Or: The one where Galinda has been raised never to pursue a man, but be pursued by him. Everything changes when she realizes she’s interested in a woman. She tries to flirt with Elphaba subtly, but Elphaba is painfully oblivious.

[gelphiebigbang2025]

Such a sweet Gelphie fic!

Who doesn't love a fic where Galinda is the one to go after Elphaba? Go check out the amazing collaboration between @rosefuckinggenius and @zelena!

I’m so excited to reveal one of the bits of art I created for the @gelphiebigbang2025 project! It’s been so difficult and exciting keeping this a secret for so long! @throppandbubbles created a wonderful fic with themes of discovery, moody road-trip travels, and overthinking blondes ;).

It was truly an honor to create something for such a talented writer. Give their fic a read here!

Corresponding art by me here and down below! Hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Haunted By You

My Big Bang Story is out today!

Title: Haunted By You (linked)

Rating: M

Chapters: 6/11 (InProgress)

Summary:

Having graduated from Emerald City University and reluctant to return to depending on her father’s charity, Elphaba finds herself in need of a place to stay. Fiyero offers up the town house he’s managing for a friend. As soon as Elphaba moves in, her magic starts acting up. Then come the strange occurrences—cold wind, flickering lights, phantom shadows—which would almost be enough to convince her the house was haunted. Except, of course, ghosts aren’t real. And if they aren’t, what is this spirit calling herself “Galinda”? As Elphaba gets to know her insubstantial roommate, it becomes apparent Galinda’s hiding a lot with her lighthearted demeanor. And Elphaba can’t help but wonder: what event led to Galinda’s current state? What will it mean if Galinda confronts her past? Will Elphaba be able to help her move forward? …Does Galinda even want to? Either way, it’s clear this limbo won’t last forever.

Extra thanks to my wonderful artist @osirismind. See their art Here or Here

Also, thank you to the @gelphiebigbang2025 organizers and everyone else who has participated - the discord has been a blast and so has being part of a big bang once again!

Please let me know what you think!

Summary: For the Gelphie Big Bang 2025.

A loving rewrite of The Wicked Years book canon by Gregory Maguire up through Out of Oz, but somehow more bisexual and more overtly lesbian than Maguire could get away with on account of it being the 1990s.

(Fic title from "For Good" from Wicked: the musical, 2003.)

"People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of." - Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Gregory Maguire (1995)
