Current Holy Trinity of the 90s: Dana Scully, Tracy Chapman, & Elphaba Thropp // I refuse to change my theme but yes I like Wicked and The Good Wife too // I muse! I think! I write!
I looooove exposure therapy and your warm embrace. Some of my comfort fics fr š„¹
What are some of your favorite gelphie fics? Like ones you think about often or always recommend?
Hiii! First of all, thank you bunches! I'm so glad you enjoyed my little series, I loved writing it so much :)
As for recommendations! Well! I've got lots! I don't really tend toward unhappy endings for long-form angst, so most of this list definitely leans humorous/sweet (but not saccharine!)
To start us off--some longstanding recommendations I don't see talked about enough.
The Heart and Other Furies by @onepettythief is a creation I verrrry proudly watched come to life for the Gelphie Big Bang last year as a beta, and it is to-die-for Shiz Era bookverse, featuring Galinda as a werewolf. Highly recommend.
'Study' Partners by GenericOregairuFan is, again, Shiz Era bookverse, and an absolutely fantastic romantic comedy that made me laugh out loud many times.
Shakes all over like a jellyfish by gunkymonkey is literally such a joy to read and their attention to prose is Quite Enjoyable, if I do say so. Movieverse gelphie.
More under the cut because I got on a roll!
A Thrill, Basis Determined by RidiculousMavis on ff.net. Please. It is the sweetest most spectacular Shiz Era bookverse I've ever read. Can you tell I have a thing for bookverse?
and one last venture to ff.net for Emerald City Lies by Beta Nova. 80s News/Media AU that is technically unfinished but I promise you won't be left on a cliffhanger. Has a description of Elphaba's laugh that lives in my head rent-free 24/7.
Onto things I'm currently reading/just finished!
limerence by @blackseablacksky is a FANTASTIC little gothic vampire bookverse au...blanket recommendation for anything by her!
her face is a map of the world by @sunflowersappho which had me VERKLEMPT at sweet sweet Elphaba at the end. Devil wears Prada movieverse au!
Birds by the snow (librarian movieverse au) and Color and light (Sunday in the Park with George AU) by @flabbergasties who continues to stun and amaze me constantly. Color and light is very new and very amazing already and Birds by the snow actually changed my life.
Last but certainly not least: anything, everything, all the things by my dear friend @loniceravine. Her writing never fails to delight me, and I've read everything minus It Was Today (and Not Tomorrow) which I am shamefully only halfway through (so far! I WILL be finishing it!) but it has literally altered my brain chemistry, changed me for good, made me a better more interesting person, etc. This is the movie/musicalverse that comforts me when the end of WFG seems too bleak.
This is a fairly long list, but hey, I never claimed to be concise! And if anyone ever wants to chat fic, these or others, I'm always around and game! And I AM still writing, also, as a last update! 25k into my latest project (fake engagement au!) and I can't wait to share it, probably at the end of the summer.
