    Summary

    Can a djinn who's been making a point of granting wishes terribly for centuries find comfort in the modern age when two college students become her latest masters?

    Can they end up more than any of that?

    [Or, Mira has been a djinn for centuries and ends up with Zoey and Rumi as her new masters in the modern age. This can only go well.]

    Summary

    "Bobby," she says, watching him carefully. "You're making a big deal out of this. What's wrong?"

    His shoulders tense before easing into an odd half-relaxed state. Bobby turns to her, head tilting just so, a funny little furrow in the middle of his brow. A frown looks uncomfortable on him, cheeks sagging. "You just should have given us some time to prepare is all."

    "Okay," Rumi says, though it sounds like a question. "I'll… keep that in mind for next time?"

    "Maybe you should stay in town tonight," he adds. "It's dark out. Going to be hard to find your way through the forest—I'm sure Celine hasn't left the lights on along the path."

    "I'll be fine," she insists with a dismissive wave. She leans her weight onto one leg and shakes the numbness out of the other. "Like riding a bike."

    Or: Rumi has spent four years away from her hometown. Now that she's graduated, she's ready to visit her family again. But time has left her behind and things have changed—and someone else has taken her place.

    Summary

    Galinda is quiet. "I'm going to become your new best friend," she says finally.

    This startles Elphaba so much that she looks up from her book. There's no twitch in Galinda's lips; she's gazing at Elphaba with uncomfortable sincerity. Elphaba glares back.

    “You'll see,” Galinda promises, her ineffable cheer returning. "I'm irresistible."

     

    Elphaba realizes the black hat is a prank before Galinda has the chance to make it up to her at the Ozdust, producing the most one-sided best friendship in Shiz history.

    Summary

    Rumi’s stomach churns at the thought of seeing Celine again after how they left things off before she ran head-first into Gwi-ma’s not-so-little deathtrap, but she walks up the steps without thinking, the way she always used to, past the gate and across the familiar stone path, and then knocks on the front door.

    “Celine,” she calls, and then she hears it. The soft, slow shuffle of footsteps from inside, drawing nearer and nearer, and then, the sound of the lock turning, and—

    The door opens, and the woman standing in front of them is not Celine.

    If Rumi isn’t actually dead already, her heart stops. “Mom?”

    Ryu Miyeong frowns at her. “‘Mom?’"

    or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.
