No Time to Waste ch. 6- shrouded

Summary: Another quiet morning with Elphaba and Glinda brings presence in the moment and shadows of the future.

Rating: E (contains explicit sexual content)

Chapter snippet:

Elphaba woke before the sun, wrapped in nothing but bedsheets and Glinda’s warm embrace. For a fleeting moment, everything was perfect.  Then reality set in, and those damned corporeal sensations stole her away from her bliss. Her eyes ached, her mouth was dry, and she felt bogged down by the lingering shadows of her own doubts, a true hangover of the emotions.  Trying to drown out her discomfort, she buried her face in the crook of Glinda’s neck, searching for any remnants of her perfume.  “Mmm… Elphie?” Glinda mumbled, still mostly asleep. “Is it morning yet?” “No.” Elphaba responded against her skin, punctuating her sentence with a little kiss. “Then why must you wake me? You know I need my beauty sleep.” “You're already beautiful enough, my sweet.”

(also. bear in mind that this is bookverse. movie/musical fans welcome to read, just know that it is a much different iteration of canon, and much darker)

the first time book gelphie attended a funeral together glinda fainted into elphaba's arms and begged elphaba to fuck her in the middle of the street and then elphaba stole her away for an impromptu road trip to the emerald city where they probably had sex. the second time book gelphie attended a funeral together elphaba was like wow glinda you look like shit and then glinda got turned on and started being racist and elphaba blew up at her over a pair of shoes. i sure as hell hope that no one mourns their asses

thinking so hard. about the book again.

something about sharing a bed with elphaba. "how brave that made her feel, and how vulnerable too."

that EATS

sorry but it's so insane to me that part ii of the wicked novel ends with elphaba kissing glinda and then disappearing into the emerald city. then you turn the page and five years have passed and fiyero's like boy why don't i go to the chapel of st glinda despite not being a unionist to light a candle and think about glinda of the arduennas of the uplands (who, mind you, we've never seen him have a one on one interaction with or address at all)

and then what do you know but elphaba thropp, the same woman who was last seen kissing glinda of the arduennas of the uplands is also praying to saint glinda, despite being a firm atheist

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

[gliyerabaa]

this is a very weird ask but can you choose for me a gelphie pfp? I really want to honor my gay parents by using a pfp of them for pride month. Also happy pride to everyone reading this. Yall are goated af.

^ my goats lucy scherer (glinda) and roberta valentini (elphaba) from a german (?) production of wicked. literally this gif is what got me into wicked and gelphie almost 8 years ago. it's grainy asf but its the best screencap we have of the scene.

happy pride month lovely anon, hope this is a satisfactory pfp :)

She put her face against Glinda’s and kissed her. “Hold out, if you can,” she murmured, and kissed her again. “Hold out, my sweet.”

i miss bookverse gelphie so bad. tbt when i was sketching outfit designs for (heretofore unrealized) fanart for the colwen grounds scene and i fully forgot glinda showed up in a gown w the bustle the size of a cathedral's dome and festooned w as many murals bc for some unfathomable reason i thought glinda might actually care to be dressed appropriately to mourn somebody she considered a sister rather than turn herself into a sumptuous glindaberry bush for elphaba to pluck when she inevitably came out of decades of hiding for the funeral Exactly as glinda predicted w her unfailingly accurate Elphie-Exclusive ESP. like my fucking god. nobody is doing it like them bc nobody should
