Wicked agere headcanon (or maybe a future fanfic prompt as it lives in my WIPs garden):

Caregiver!Elphaba, talking to a regressed!Galinda who is currently crying and pouting over a scraped knee in the Shiz courtyard: “I know it hurts, ‘Lin, but it’s been almost five minutes, I don’t think we need to shed any more tears over this. Why don’t we go back to our room an—“

Galinda, still crying: “this is in NO WAY a WE situation! I’M the victim here!”

Elphaba, internally: I think we’re confused about who the real victim is when you’re about to have a temper tantrum

(But in the end our dear Elphie carries her sweet ‘Linny back to their dorm room piggyback style, where it’s an even bigger hassle to disinfect the wound on the squirmy, cranky girl. She loves the miraculous ladybug bandaid though, letting out a small giggle when Elphaba says she’s gonna “make the ouchies disappear with magic” and blows her a kiss to make her feel better.

Now every time Little!Galinda gets hurt, from a small bump to a paper cut, she runs to Elphie so “she can kiss it all better,” much to (CG!)Fiyero’s amusement when he’s with them)

Wicked agere headcanon pt 2 as this also lives in my WIP garden, but most likely the whole fic will be posted on AO3 by the end of the month (or is it a teaser if I’m actually writing around this? Anyway enjoy some CG! Elphie and Little! Galinda because I’m straight up not having a good time in the club right now and need some Gelphie to self soothe lmao)

(I imagine Galinda being such a threenager when she’s overtired and grumpy)

After a very powerful fifteen minutes, the cries calm down into wet sniffles and coughs, her face covered with tears and snot and sadness as she rubs her puffy eyes with her palms, absolutely exhausted from what just happened.

“Welcome back down to Shiz,” Elphaba says with a small, teasing smile, pressing a kiss to the back of the other girl's hand. “That was a pretty big tornado of emotions, huh? Wanna tell me what it was all about?”

A huff followed by a long, high pitched whine and some babble grace her as an answer, making out some words such as tired, sun, and the ever so famous, no!

“You’re a bit too small for real words then,” she concludes, and the way Galinda reaches out for her pajama sleeve to chew on is all the confirmation she needs.

“I think you going to class today is out of the question,” she continues her one-sided conversation, booping her girl on the nose, “so why don’t we get up to start our morning and meet Nessie for some breakfast?”

“No!”

What an Oz-tastic way to start the day.

Straight up not having a good time in da club rn, here’s a small Gelphie snippet of a fic I’m planning out to help heal my soul cause the bar is so low it’s in hell AND SOMEHOW STILL THEY MANAGE TO SCREW ME OVER.

Also Recently just found out that I can allow asks and stuff, that’s cool, if you have any little!gelphie prompts pls lmk cause writing is the only thing keeping me grounded rn lol (currently on a little!Elphie run if that helps)

Regressed!Elphie had a nightmare and can’t find her comfort stuffy—a teddy bear that Dulcibear got her for her third birthday, to practice caring for her soon to be born baby sister— which causes some big feelings, and CG! Galinda has to help her find it (ignore any typos pls and thx it’s like 2am and I’ve been tweaking out at life for days unfortunately lol)

“Did you have a nightmare?” Galinda asks once Elphaba’s breathing starts to even out, brushing away any lingering tears with the side of her palm. A small whimper answers her, accompanied by a nod and tighter hug.

“Can’t find bear-bear!”

The blonde hums sympathetically, kissing the top of Elphaba’s forehead. “That is quite the dilemma. Where’s the last place you had her?”

Elphaba shrugs, too small to think clearly. She babbles how the stuffed animal wasn’t in bed with her, and now she’s checked everywhere and she’s still missing! She’s gone forever!

The green girl starts to dissolve in another fit of cries and even factoring in the nightmare, Galinda’s never seen her friend this upset. She glances at the glass door ever so slightly wavering, most likely from Elphie’s misplaced magic, and bites her lip. She really does not want to contact maintenance about another hole in that door.

“Well, let’s take a deep breath first,” she says calmly, “follow my lead; pretend like you’re smelling a flower, then let it out as if you’re blowing out a candle! Let’s try it together.”

The blonde gives an exaggerated demonstration, ending each exhale with a noisy kiss to Elphie’s cheeks, causing the witch to softly giggle and squirm as she slowly calms down.

“Welcome back down to Shiz,” Elphaba says with a small, teasing smile, pressing a kiss to the back of the other girl's hand. “That was a pretty big tornado of emotions, huh? Wanna tell me what it was all about?”
