Wicked
Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar
drawn after you
rated Mature
Someone has been leaving flowers at Elphaba’s door for weeks, and she’s certain it’s a cruel joke—until the notes start feeling like truth, and she starts hoping, and maybe falling, for the one person she thought would never see her like that.
like autumn leaves
rated Mature
Fiyero didn’t really know when he fell — from the ridge or for her — only that both hurt like hell, and that Elphaba’s hands, shaking and warm with magic and fury, were the only thing that ever caught him.
how would you feel
rated Mature
Fiyero desperately wants to ask Elphaba to be his date to the Ozdust, and it proves to be a much harder quest than he thought it'd be.
holding me near
rated Mature
Fiyero asks Elphaba to the Ozdust, not as a joke, not as a dare, but with a heart laid bare — and for the first time, she finds herself saying yes, stepping into the glittering world she never thought she belonged to, hand in hand with someone who makes her believe she does.
tell my heart
rated Mature
Fiyero wants a new beginning back where he came from. He moves to Vinkus, a quaint neighbourhood in Emerald City, where every single man seems to make a life out of chasing a black cat with a key around its neck. Whoever catches it, apparently, won't be denied the prize they all seek: Elphaba Thropp's — the most beautiful and powerful woman around — hand in marriage.
Fiyero doesn't get it, and much less wants to engage with such activities or with the mysterious woman. But it's a bit harder when she lives just next door, and the black cat becomes a faithful companion of his.
freedom (loving you is)
rated Mature
In the chaos of battle, Fiyero hears the shot before he sees her fall — Elphaba, struck down in the sunlight, her body folding as if the world itself had betrayed her. For a heartbeat, he thinks the pain is his own. For the rest of his life, it will be; the Wicked Witch is dead - but he would make sure that Elphaba would survive.
through the cracks
rated Explicit
when Elphaba can't believe Fiyero's words about her worth, he must prove just how beautiful she is - physically, because he wants to worship his love the same way a follower worships their faith. And, oh; it's been so long since she was his.
how to send a letter, avoid planes and fall upwards all the same
rated Mature
Elphaba's move after finding old letters she'd written to no one was to get on a plane to another country. Or rather, it was telling Fiyero she'd do that — and, so, her solo, breakdown-induced trip suddenly had a partner. Through letters, tears, and spending someone else's money, she would soon find out that fleeing home wasn't quite an option when the heart in which she lived inside was beating in the chest right beside hers.
something of you
rated Mature
In the aftermath of learning the past, there are questions - and fears - about the future. Dreaming might just be within reach again, but so is doubt; and isn't that a terrifying thought?
there beneath
rated Mature
Elphaba lives hidden deep in a forest, far from eyes, sight and questions about her powers, her skin or her age. She aids creatures in need, be them animals, people or half-dead beings; and when a vampire asks for her help, she decides that it is just another creature to be helped. But two old hearts might still know - or relearn - how to beat, after all this time.
'til the afterglow
rated Mature
On a snow-soft Lurlinemas night, Elphaba finds herself helping decorate a tree, baking cookies, kissing a prince, and accidentally stepping into something she never thought she’d deserve: the possibility of being loved — and letting herself believe in it.
