Authors, and Websites
- Recommended by Mel
- She hasn't written much, but what she has is spectacular.
- Recommended by Jemas42
- Solid Gelphie stories, notable for being entirely unaltered by the musical. Has the voices of the characters and their interactions down.
- Recommended by Mel
- While she's not the best about updating, she still has reams of wonderful writing.
General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
- Recommended by Riti Troll
- Synopsis: An amazing AU story where the most of the young part of the musical cast of characters are, well, different. Primarily members of a theives' guild, to be precise. A bit shy of halfway through, the tone changes as one intercepts something of importance.
- Recommended by Riti Troll
- Synopsis: An amazing Peggy Sue story in which Glinda, a year after the musical ends, finds herself back at the first day of Shiz. Following being asked a question by a prisoner Morrible shortly before she found herself in the past, she decides to see if she could change things.
The Grand Vizier of Oz, by Sedri(bit of an AU)
- Recommended by: Jinxed Blackcat
- Synopsis: What would happen if the Wizard knew Elphaba was his daughter and was willing to do anything to have her stay? There are some elements for it to be Fiyero/Elphaba.
The Narrative Strain by The Noble Arduenna
- Recommended by: Ce
- Synopsis: An incredibly deep, well thought out story about G(a)linda that starts the night of Doctor Dillamond's death. Galinda begins having nightmares about a traumatizing event in her past, and she has been attacked and actually injured by/in these dreams. She begins to believe something evil is rising up from inside her, while everyone else thinks she's gone mad. There's also an exploration in role reversal, but I won't say much for fear of spoiling things.
No Good Deed, by Alydia Rackham.
- Recommended by: Gordon Schumway
- Synopsis: Locked in Elphaba's study at Kiamo Ko, a terrified Dorothy fully expects to be killed when the hourglass runs out and Elphaba returns. What actually happens when Elphaba comes back is something Dorothy could never have expected.
The Shattering Of Oz, by Straightjacked
- Recommmended by: Eccentricity
- Synopsis: A year after the events of the musical, Glinda has been ruling Oz as peacefully as she can, whilst Fiyero and Elphaba had made a new life for themselves beyond the deserts that surround the country. Unfortunately, when unruly sections of the populace demand that Glinda step down, Fiyero is unexpectedly summoned to the Emerald City... and Oz is left open to an invasion.
Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.
Scandalicious Princess by LostOzian
- Recommended by Riti Troll
- Pairing: Elphaba/Fiyero
- Synopsis Everything is fine and dandy a few days before Spring Break at Shiz. Especially when Fiyero's come to terms with the fact that he's in love Elphaba. But just as he's ready to admit it to her, he notices that she may be a little too friendly with Galinda, ignoring the fact that Galinda is dating him. So he gets a little desperate to make the Elphaba he thinks is a lesbian to fall in love with him. Yes, by doing that.
Accidents of Fate by the incredible danderson
- Recommended by a shameless devotee
- Pairing: Elphaba/Fiyero
- Synopsis Elphaba, escaping from an arranged marriage to "some stupid prince from the stupid Vinkus", is quite literally stumbled over by Fiyero, who is escaping his arranged marriage to some Munchkinlander girl he's never heard of—Elphaba, of course. Romance ensues.
