Summary
Gabrielle drifted off to the sound of a chuckle, and a hand stroking softly over her hair, and woke in the moonlight to Xena shaking her by the arms, leaning over her and telling her desperately to wake up.
“Thank the gods,” Xena breathed, and clutched her so close that she had trouble breathing for a moment.

Post "Is There a Doctor in the House?", Gabrielle is battered and bruised, and Xena's having nightmares.

Summary
“Hey there.”
Elphaba isn’t superstitious; she doesn’t believe in magic or ghosts or the supernatural; she has always been wary of organized religion; she’s never understood the people who believe in fate. Some might say it’s cynical. But Elphaba just doesn’t get it - she likes logic and reason and believes that everything can be explained.
So the thump in her chest at the voice is confusing to her. The sudden sense that the world has shifted on its axis is confusing.

Something that Galinda can teach her.

Summary
A brush of the arm, a touch of the hand.
Galinda likes to be close to people, Elphaba has noticed.
--
After a lifetime of neglect and ostracization, Elphaba is not what you would call 'good at being close to people.' When Galinda notices her new best friend flinches from every touch, she proposes an experiment: exposure therapy, a way to start small and help Elphaba grow more comfortable with herself and others, one touch at a time.
But what started as an exercise in psychology might just prove to be the basis of something more.

Summary
Galinda and Elphaba met in 7th grade, and after a few weeks of bickering, they became attached at the hip. When they spend every waking second together, Elphaba develops her first crush on her best friend. Senior year, Elphaba confesses her feelings for Galinda. But when her confession results in an abrupt end to their friendship and leaves vague rejection in her wake, Elphaba has no choice but to let her go. Four years later, their paths cross again and Galinda still isn’t ready to admit how she felt. But luckily… her Elphie is patient.
—
Elphaba is going down the line, shaking each hand and trying her best to commit every name and face to memory. Until she gets to Galinda.
They lock eyes, Elphaba tries her best to read Galinda's expression before they explain to everyone that they already know each other. But before she can say anything, Galinda sticks out her hand and introduces herself as if Elphaba hasn’t committed the curve of each letter and the sound of each syllable to memory.
She smiles, a fake friendly smile, one you’d display for someone you’ve never met before. “Glinda.”
Well, technically, that is a new name.
