Summary
Her boot catches the edge of a tile—barely a slip, just a half step too short—and she stumbles.
And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.
“You lost your balance.”
Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.
“Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”
The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.
Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.
OR
basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond. but ofc Rumi has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused Rumi with a guise for improvement. (it gives mother gothel)
The memories that haunt Rumi cause her to pull away, and the girls try to figure out why (and they succeed in a devastating way).*Zoey and Mira follow Rumi to Celine’s after the idol awards reveal (ch6)*

Summary
Rumi yearned.
Not for something distant. Not for a dream.
She yearned for what she had.
Zoey. Mira. The only people who’d ever looked at her like she wasn’t some cursed half-thing. The only people who kissed her like she was something soft. Something worth holding onto.
She had them.
They kissed her cheeks, her lips, the glowing lines on her wrists. Mira pressed warm tea into her hands after a long mission. Zoey joked too loudly and called her baby girl in English, even though she said it with a crooked smile and a heart that meant it.

Summary
“You’re glowing,” Zoey whispers, nearly reverent with her words. An observation turned praise, a prayer on her lips.
“What?” Rumi’s voice is hoarse. She turns her head awkwardly to get a view of her shoulder and cries out in alarm.
“What?” Mira gasps, waking from where she’d obviously drifted off. “Oh, shit,” her voice drops when she sees the glow emitting from Rumi’s shoulder.

Summary
“Are you…joking?”
Galinda giggles as she prances from her side of the room to Elphaba’s, pushing aside her legs to make adequate room for the frills of her fluffiest nightgown. “Obviously not, Elphie. The math works out—”
“—What maths, Galinda—”
“—and I’ve figured out that the easiest way to make you popular,” she continues amidst Elphaba’s protests, although she is secretly pleased at the attention, “is to have you date a popular person. And…who better than I!”
(Alternatively: In which Galinda has a plan. A genius and foolproof plan, one that could never fail, even when it’s concerning her gorgeous, beautiful, desperately oblivious, hopelessly clueless roommate and tentative friend.)

Summary
Barbie, despite the fact that she’s is still getting used to the myriad of ways the human body functions, picks up on the hot skin against her own. “Your face is glowing,” she says, worried, as she pulls back a little to look over Gloria’s red face, “you’re not getting sick, are you? Do you have a fever?”
