I'm going to give a slight warning, the focus of the fic is Fiyeraba however there are a few moments in the beginning where Elphaba mixes up being touch-starved and romantic desire and a brief reference to Elphaba and Galinda kissing but it isn't a romantic thing and isn't talked about as such!
Extract: The rainbow banner proudly declared 'Shiz LGBTQ+ Society' and had been hastily tucked across the top of the door. A flag with 'Everybody Welcome!' had been hung over one of the windows. Did they always meet in Lenx's classroom and she had just never noticed? Probably heard the laughter, assumed it was at her and never bothered to break her stride.
… They said everyone was welcome… Did they truly mean everyone?
