    Summary

    “You don’t think…” Shenshen whispered as she watched the scene unfold. “In front of all these people?” Pfannee blinked, pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming as he watched and listened to his friend's advances.

    “Elphaba Thropp,” Galinda addressed loudly, her voice cutting through the murmurs of the crowd. “You better let me back into your life this instant!”

    or,

    In an alternate Oz, where Animal rights aren’t being threatened, more mundane challenges reveal themselves… Such as Galinda Upland going slightly insane after her first lesbian breakup (much to Shenshen and Pfannee’s horror).

    Summary

    Rio Vidal is the best attacking midfielder women's soccer has seen in a decade—maybe ever. But after leading the Irish National Team to their first World Cup trophy, she abruptly and mysteriously leaves the NWSL to play for Barcelona.

    She returns three years later, joining a new club midway through their first season. There are a few stars on the team already, like Jen Kale and Alice Wu-Gulliver.

    And, of course, Agatha Harkness, the USWNT's lead striker and Rio’s ex-something.

    ***

    This is a fic about love, and grief, and missed opportunities and misunderstandings. It starts in the present day, jumps back to the past, then works its way back to the present. Soccer is the setting; the characters are the story.

    Summary

    “I don’t have sex.”

    Agatha’s face screwed up somewhere between delight and incredulity, “You don’t ever?” She scoffed, “As in you’ve never at all? How long have you been here?”

    “Since the inception of life itself.”

    “And you’ve never fucked?” The way she said it, it did sound a little stupid, “What do you do to pass the time?”

    “I scare children,” Death shifted in her chair, still rubbing at the skin of one hand with the other. No wonder Agatha had nowhere to live, she thought. She was unbearable. “Amongst other things.”

    *

    Or,

    Upon meeting Death, Agatha takes it upon herself to educate her on some of the finer points of being human.
