Summary
A mere twelve hours, and now her whole life has changed. Elphaba rose from the base of the tower, triumphant and beyond Glinda’s reach. But Glinda had stayed there on the balcony, surrounded by grief and broken glass.
or, 5 times Glinda was left alone in the palace, and 1 time she wasn't

Summary
On her best days, Glinda thinks that this is the kind of Oz Elphaba always wanted.
But only on her best days. Because on her worst days, all she feels is the slow drip of all her drive and enthusiasm fading away. Without anger and ferocity, it’s much easier for despair to consume her. On her worst days, she finds herself aching for Elphaba. The smell of parchment and pine and magic start to fade from the hat, and Glinda aches at the thought of what she’ll do when she loses it entirely.
All she’s done means nothing if Elphaba can’t be here to see it. It means nothing if Glinda lost her along the way.
It’s what she deserves. She knows that every day, good and bad. But she yearns for Elphie all the same.
or, months after the Witch's death, Glinda sets out to look for her again

Summary
Keyleth is her friend—her best friend, even. Or at least, she would be if she was ever around.
But Keyleth is never around these days, because she’s also the one that got away. -

Summary
“Sorry,” says Vex, quieter than before. She looks Keyleth up and down. “Are you okay?”
Keyleth just stares. Is she okay? How can she be, miles below the ground, after days without seeing the sun, with all the uncertainty and drama and Vex constantly looking at her like—
But she doesn’t look like that now. She doesn’t look angry, or distant, or cold. She just looks like Vex. The way Vex used to look at Keyleth.
“What happened to us?”

Summary
Nancy had been working at the lame little ice cream place at the mall for barely a week. She never held any hopes that it would be a gratifying or personally stimulating job, let alone that it would help her on her dreams of dedicating herself to journalism full time until she was successful enough to get out of Hawkins and even Indiana someday. However, she’d never expected it to be as bad as it was.
Long story short, Nancy couldn’t wait to get rid of her Scoops Ahoy coworker, Robin Buckley.

Summary
“And it was like Robin was back in the upside down, thick black vines climbing up her legs, trapping her arms behind her, wrapping around her throat and getting tighter, until breathing became impossible. But this time, Steve and Nancy couldn't just pull her out of the trap. This time, Robin was getting pulled under, and there was no way out.”
Or; after the hellish spring break spent taking down Vecna, Robin has to return back to school like nothing happened, and finds it difficult to move on.

Summary
"She’s shoving her hair out of her eyes, pressing at the bruises around her neck, clawing at the tight, tight, awful denim around her knees, and clenching her jaw. There’s another flash of red light in the sky, and it makes Robin feel like death has pinched her ribs with cold, grassy fingers, and oh, she’s drowning in her own body. There’s an incessant crackling coming from not that far off, and it makes Robin’s vision go all foggy. A gasp is torn from her lips, followed by a groan, and Robin feels her guts roiling as the blood from her nose spirals into her throat. Her whole body lurches, writhes, and turns itself inside out.
Robin is dying."

OR- Something happened to Robin, but she can't remember what exactly it was. Featuring lesbian disaster Robin, good mom Steve, pining Nancy, and the chaos of children unsure of how to deal with grief. -
