pink cheeks . poor thing’s embarrassed . or ashamed . perhaps , she sees through this front her family seems to put up ( no family whose father is a minister is normal ) .
victorine wanted to marry once . a specific young gentleman . a human . her father would never permit it . & he didn’t . perhaps , that was apart of the attraction to matthew . a human & a vampire . love that cannot be . for good reason.
❝ but if your father does not approve - what then ? do you break off the affair or do you keep the flame alive ? ❞ head tilts into a more imposing position . as if she is interrogating the girl . this is hardly an interrogation . victorine has been interrogated more times than she can count & this was far from those experiences . she is simply questioning the girl . understanding her . she wants to understand the human race , after all . how else they can hurt her people . ❝ i am experienced , dear , i know it’s bound to happen . ❞
this sister she talks of - is she mad ? a bit different is a perfect way to describe such an social outcast . something is off about her . ❝ although your father believes it is your sister’s fault for your mother’s death , do you love her still ? ❞
𝘕𝘌𝘚𝘚𝘈𝘙𝘖𝘚𝘌 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘓𝘐𝘒𝘌𝘋 the way it felt as though the strange woman were poking around in her brain -- it was almost unfair , that she was left to answer all these questions , meanwhile hers went unanswered ( though , many were never even asked ) . she has had to consider what she’ll decide , when her father finally puts his foot down about the matter of her relationship . his tactics were smart , allowing her to have her fun while at school ; it would make the ultimate ending much easier , and much more fair .
❛ i suppose i’ll have to listen to what he says , in the end , ❜ she concludes , her brows knitting together in a rather distressed way . for a girl who grew up getting everything she wanted , and still often did , it was a horrible reality to imagine . not to mention , its time was approaching quickly . ❛ i have to remember that the future is bigger than just me . ❜
her selfish nature was something that she would have to shake , and nessarose was more than aware of that . her father never said a word against it , afraid of hurting her more than anything -- but elphaba had warned her many times how she mustn’t be too selfish . she was a cog in the machine of politics , and a selfish politician , while common , was never liked .
❛ and i love my sister , ❜ nessarose says firmly , a huff of a breath , as if any other answer was unheard of . ❛ my father has a strange version of the story , and i’ve never known what to believe . you must understand , i was a baby . ❜

A GRIMACE CROSSED ELSA'S FACE AT the comment, her head only just not bobbing in agreement. Ever since the coronation, she had been taking up lessons to catch up on some of the social skills her isolated childhood had left her without, and unfortunately that had included dancing. And given she was not yet confident enough to join the other guests on the dance floor, she remained off to the side as she had always done.
"I tend to hope for some engaging conversation at least," she said, tucking a few more strands of hair up into the braided bun that was piled upon her head. Her dress for the evening was upon a mannequin at her side, ready to be the finishing touch. Perhaps doing her own hair was still a holdover of a time when she would allow no one to touch her, but she still preferred it. At least if she got poked in the head with a pin it was her own fault.
"Although I must admit to not being the most enthusiastic party-goer," she admitted, turning in her seat. "I tend to leave that to my sister, who I can only assume is bouncing off the walls of her room."
She left a brief pause, her eyes resting on the delicate white silk gloves that reminded her so much of those of her youth. Anna had asked if she felt up to wearing them, and it almost felt odd how little she was bothered by the idea.
"You know, you needn't come if you'd prefer not to," she said softly, turning back to Nessarose. "I would much rather you enjoy this visit than feel like you have to attend events you dislike."
𝘚𝘏𝘌 𝘏𝘈𝘋 never attended such a dull and unengaging event , though it would be a bit too forward to admit that to her hostess . parties were supposed to be exciting , and have a bit of kick in them -- even if the aspect of fun was often disguised as sophistication regardless . but here , people seemed to stick to themselves , and rarely ventured into conversation aside from their dates . or , otherwise , the guests in their general vicinity . it was almost saddening to watch , much less have to take part in .
❛ it isn’t the event that i dislike , per se , ❜ nessarose starts , looking off in the near distance again , watching the rigidity of the movement in the ballroom . ❛ it’s just that the energy is so different to others i’ve attended . ❜
typically , there were things for her to do . people to speak with outside of the one she was visiting , and those who were interested to meet one who had travelled from so far . here , it seemed everyone was in their own world , and she just happened to be there too .
❛ i don’t mean to offend , ❜ she clarifies , her hands held out to drive that point home , almost as if in a surrendering pose . ❛ i just mean to ask : is it always so stoic ? ❜

AIR TORE THROUGH HER THROAT WITH each heaving breath. Magic swirled around her hands, delicate light duplicated in her eyes as the storm finally washed through her. Ice and snow clung to all around her, beautiful as it was dangerous. Rarely did the results of her magic look natural, now it was unnerving how unlike the actual winter it appeared.
Elsa turned to face the source of the words, her shoulders finally lowering at the sight of Nessarose. Her hands, while still stiff, slowly dropped to her sides. Standing still, she took a few shuddering breaths through her nose as she looked at the assembled students around them, the shocked and even frightened faces held there. A few cringed as her gaze swept over them, and a small smile of satisfaction lifted the corners of her mouth. Elsa had always dreaded the day her peers would look at her with fear in their eyes, and yet at that moment she felt vindicated.
Straightening her spine, she walked to Nessa’s side, the crunch of fresh snow under her shoes as familiar as breathing.
“Let them whisper about a new subject for a while,” she murmured, her heart still aching at the loss of her friend. She couldn’t imagine how Nessarose was dealing with Elphaba’s disappearance.
𝘐𝘛 𝘞𝘈𝘚 almost insulting to find her like this , behaving as though the possibility of magic wasn’t the most dangerous thing that had happened to this school . the fact that it was offered as a class was no longer relevant -- magic must be controlled , and it could never be completely watched over when there were a select few that could transcend the bounds of the curriculum .
❛ don’t be so naïve , ❜ she snaps , feeling for one of the first times what effect this has had on her . rumors spread , and things were said about her entire family ; they intended to use elphaba for bad , that elphaba would come to munchkinland first , that nessarose was next ( only her powers weren’t strong enough , yet ) . ❛ they don’t need another thing to whisper about . haven’t you heard all that they’ve said so far ? do it for your family , if not your friends . ❜

she knows the portrait is smeared with blood . only the corner , it was hardly noticeable to the judge . an act of defiance , a rebellion . she would not be his ! she wanted to cry . johanna would never be . yet she was trapped in his fist . stricken down at the first step .
every girl wanted a beautiful wedding . white , frilly , flowered . weddings were beautiful . it was a pity the first one johanna ever attended was her own . & she knows how that was . she had nothing to compare it to .
❝it sounds beautiful .❞& johanna wishes she can be there for this imaginary wedding . though she does not know if the judge will allow her . it took him catching her with a bottle of arsenic nearing her lips for him to allow this one visit .❝we will have to find you the perfect dress , then . one that works for an inside wedding & for one outdoors .❞
a shaky hand reaches for the drawer , fingers crease the first paper inside . nessa deserves a better look of her wedding , since it seems she is close to having her own . not the blood stained wedding day johanna knows . the sketch was for the artist , but it was left behind when the frame containing the actual painted portrait was dropped off .❝this is the sketch the artist drew as a reference , ’ johanna whispers , ‘ if you want to see it .❞
her expression is blank . eyes are empty of the sadness she saw in the mirror that day . the artist did her a service . johanna did not look sad . merely empty . her small frame compared to the judge’s made her look like a mouse caught by a cat . she hates looking at it . it is only another reminder .❝would you like your portrait to be painted for your wedding , too ?❞
𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘌𝘍𝘜𝘓 𝘏𝘈𝘕𝘋𝘚 reach for the portrait , her gaze once again becoming quite jealous of her friend . it didn’t matter if the wedding wasn’t as memorable as johanna had wanted it to be ; the dress was beautiful , if not modest ( though it suited her typical style , so nessarose didn’t see any problem ) and she looked beautiful . more importantly , she was with someone who so desperately wanted to be with her .
the circumstances of johanna’s marriage were certainly unusual , but nessa could not be one to judge ; different regions had different customs , and it would be terribly rude to assume the worst of someone based solely on how it appeared to her -- especially considering the fact that she was as much of an outsider as possible .
❛ oh , you look absolutely beautiful , ❜ nessa says , fantasizing of one day having her own wedding , with a painter there to capture her joy . johanna looked so mature , lacking the youth that she has even now . weddings did that , she supposes . ❛ i’ll have to get the contact information for whomever did this . ❜
a pause , silence filling the air for a few moments . nessa feels somewhat foolish , speaking as if she really were getting married . not only did boq seem uninterested in truly settling down , but her father was against the idea of her marrying someone so common ( and , as long as he was alive , forbade it ) .
❛ that is , when the time comes for me , ❜ she corrects herself , clearing her throat just slightly , in an attempt to hide the truth behind her silence . ❛ my father doesn’t want me rushing into things , yet wants me to be paired off , so to speak , before he passes . ❜

it is her first time at the opera . a rite of passage for girls her age , though her own childhood was far from the typical one of most anyone else . she should be more excited . there is no reason for all of her nervousness .
perhaps , it is the crowds surrounding them . they are overwhelming . not to the point of intense anxiety , but they did not help . her right leg bounces up & down lightly , shaking the arm holding the program .
a nod . gentle , slow at first , but soon it quickens . ❝ oh , yes . ❞ once the actual performance starts , it will distract her from any silly worries she might have had . ❝ it’s both our first times actually here , ❞ she adds , ❝ you must be just bursting with excitement since you seem to know more about the opera than i do . ❞
𝘛𝘙𝘜𝘛𝘏𝘍𝘜𝘓𝘓𝘠 , 𝘕𝘌𝘚𝘚𝘈𝘙𝘖𝘚𝘌 was quite excited to see the show . stories of romance and drama had always been a selling point for her , and she knew all of how operas could be filled with both -- her heart was racing with excitement , she was sure johanna would be able to feel it echoing off of the walls of the house .
❛ i’d like this to be the first of many trips to the opera , ❜ she says , her mind wandering for just a moment to her future ; it held something akin to a season ticket to the local theatre , seeing shows open and maybe even coming back for a second performance , if it was that good . ❛ i just hope that it doesn’t disappoint me . ❜
and with the crowds the way they were , nessa could see slight disappointment . of course , when it could be done her way ( that is , when she was in power , or her father’s second - hand ) she could demand anything . would it be too much to request a private show ? maybe it was more reasonable to just command everyone stay silent for the entirety of the performance .
❛ but we must keep an open mind , ❜ nessarose continues , speaking more to herself than her viewing - mate . she casts a gaze on the incessant bouncing of johanna’s leg . ❛ do you need to get up for a minute ? ❜

eyes are directed at the pink cake her friend refers to . a work of art in itself , it seems to only get prettier upon closer inspection . she has to agree with johanna . blown away & overwhelmed at the shop , she finds herself hardly able to steady herself . it’s magical , of course , but it gives one the feeling of starting a book for the first time . confused until more worldbuilding is established .
❝ is that alright with you ? ❞ it seems alright , but a wave of hesitation rolls over johanna . she was excited to make this a special day for her friend . a birthday ! such a day was rarely celebrated in the judge’s household . never , actually . & she knows her friend endured a growing - up a little too close to the one johanna did . she knows birthdays are special . they should be treated as such .
a finger graces her lips before saying , ❝ we will get the cake - if that’s what you want - & then i think perhaps a break ? i don’t want to overwhelm you . we can do anything you want to do . ❞
𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘕 𝘐𝘍 they did decide to order a cake , nessarose hardly thinks that it would be completed -- and then the point of purchasing a cake would be gone . it was , in all ways , better to just get one that was already completed . she smiles at the dessert , admiring just how beautiful it was . the blush color covered the entirety of the cake , but along the edges there was fluffy white ribbons of frosting , as well as fondant roses . it was more than appropriate for her , which made it all that more perfect .
❛ yes , i think the cake will be a perfect fit , ❜ nessa concludes along with her friend , hoping that her enthusiasm is enough to convince johanna of her sincerity . whyever would she lie over something as silly as a cake ? ❛ and i agree that a break would be nice now . ❜
her and johanna had always seen eye to eye on that of social interactions . while both of them behaved like proper ladies , willing to socialize and be polite , they both had somewhat of a low tolerance for it ; their need for a step away from the action aligned quite well .
❛ we can buy the cake , and then go to the park , ❜ she suggests , knowing that it will be taken to heart . it was her day , after all . a bit of a giggle . ❛ maybe we could even try a bit of it , and act as though we go there often . ❜

she wants to say it only took one look & she was desperately & hopelessly in love . that no force on earth could tear them apart . johanna tells herself it was at first sight , first sight , first sight ! again & again . though she does remember that moment . as it was . feelings of hopelessness , frustration , melancholy burning in her chest , knowing she could not escape her situation . but eyes fell upon a loving look . infatuation . kindness . it was all there in his eyes . there was a path out of this darkness - & it was him . anthony hope . she wants to say her heart sang the way her birds did , but her birds did not sing .
anthony tells her , whispers it into her loose locks of gold when they are laying in bed at night , that he loved her at their very first glance . that moment of breathlessness of joy of wonder . excitement ! everything was there . & johanna always hesitates - only for a mere second - because she knows it was not the same , but she cannot disappoint anthony . her husband . johanna is in love with him . that is not the lie . she adores him with every fiber of her being . but the moment she fell in love was the moment he took her gentle hand , looking into her eyes ( her eyes ! no one actually looked into her eyes before ) & told her be not afraid . in that moment , she knew .
the gentlest of laughs , more of a euphoric sigh , leaves her lips as she nods . ❝ i’ve never felt more . . . ❞ words drift off . a hand lands on her chest , as if to cradle her heart . ❝ free . i was looking out my window & there he was . & he looked into my eyes . i looked into his . . . the moment was too powerful to even comprehend . ❞ nessa said she did not mind her rambles , but even still , johanna hesitates to continue talking about herself . ❝ how did you know you were in love with boq ? was it love at first sight , too ? or perhaps , you were friends first ? ❞
𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘐𝘙 𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘙𝘛𝘐𝘕𝘎 had been a series of coincidences , and being in the right place at the right time , for lack of a better description . he had been there with her at school , which was lucky in it of itself , and they both had been available and interested in each other when the opportunity for a dance had arisen ( another lucky moment , that likely couldn’t be recreated if they tried ) . from then , there had been gazes , which nessarose would describe as loving , though she can’t be sure if boq would say the same ; that night , he was rather nervous .
❛ we were classmates first , ❜ nessa says , recalling the days when she knew of the boy as nothing more than the student in her history seminar who reminded her of home -- as terribly boring of a memory it was . ❛ but he was always quite kind to me , and to everyone . ❜
the lies had warped so much into truth that nessa herself no longer knew what was true and what was the version of boq that she had created in her head .
❛ but i knew that i was in love with him the moment we were first alone with one another . ❜ her cheeks turn pink , quickly worried that johanna might take it the wrong way . ❛ that is , our first time going on a date . i just knew he was the one . it felt right . ❜

Seamus was no expert on the area — but he was someone who picked up directions quickly. A day or two wandering around, and he could at least pretend that he was supposed to be there.
" I'm afraid I can't help you if I don't know who your sister is, " he says with a lighthearted chuckle. " Where are you heading ? I might be able to help, if you'd like me to. "
Approaching, he offers out a polite hand. " Name's Seamus; and, you are ? "
𝘖𝘍 𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘙𝘚𝘌 , if nessarose described her sister to him , he would likely be able to remember her ( if he had seen elphaba , that is ) . but there was no need to draw attention to something unless it was absolutely necessary , and it wasn’t even close to being that point yet .
❛ well , i was supposed to meet her outside of the library , but this isn’t it , ❜ nessa explains , the lack of a notable building being her first clue . she had followed the directions very clearly , but something hadn’t gone right . ❛ i would appreciate any help , seamus . my name is nessarose , and it’s nice to meet you . ❜

oh gosh is it july 2nd again ?? i guess it’s time for my yearly post where i get super sappy and super emotion for no reason . but , let’s be real -- there totally is a reason , and it’s the fact that i’ve had this hobby for five whole years . that’s literally half a decade !! wtf !!
i don’t know how much i have to say , but i just want to thank everyone for making this such a fun five years . i never ever thought that i would still be here obsessing over a d - list musical character , but i am and i couldn’t have done it without all of you willing to write with me !!
i truly want to thank everyone for giving me a chance to explore nessarose and giving me all of your wonderful muses to write with as well :) i just really appreciate how supportive and kind all of my mutuals have been over the years , especially those of you that have been here for all five ( which is impressive , and i applaud you ) .
here’s to another year !! thank you all <3

head moves in a knowing nod . fathers did tend to be that way . while their children longed for something ( whether that be an extra treat or to go explore the city ) , they say they know what’s best for their children & dismiss it . cosette would never dream of not having her papa - him finding her at that inn was the best thing that ever happened to her ! but she can understand nessa’s father being more reluctant to the idea . ❝ once a week does seem like a good alternative . ❞ her smile hints of a smirk as her face lights up . ❝ nessarose thropp , are you suggesting we borrow money from our fathers & spend it on something as silly as macaroons ? because i am a full one - hundred perfect on board with the idea . ❞
𝘏𝘌𝘙 𝘍𝘈𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘙 was always willing to give a bit of spending money , and her spending it on an indulgent treat would be a breath of fresh air to him ; frexspar had grown into the concerns of other parents sending their daughters into the city , worried that she may be buying things that he doesn’t approve of . finding out that the two girls were using it to buy cookies was the least of his worries .
❛ i think we would be alright with the idea of us having a day in the city every so often , ❜ nessa says with a bit of a giggle , covering her face just slightly with a hand . it was something that she always wanted to do , spending a day together with a friend and re - enacting the things young ladies were meant to do , like what she had read and seen in so many books and magazines . ❛ but he would never let me go alone . my sister would tag along , and she might catch onto our spending habits . ❜

as she doesn’t want to outright verbally insult anthony’s friends , she is hesitant to say anything more . they tease her , whistle after her when anthony wasn’t around , make the crudest jokes even in front of her . it’s a miracle they didn’t rub off of anthony . yet somehow anthony hadn’t rubbed off on them . she nods .
she understands boq completely . part of her is tempted to stage a fainting , though , johanna knows it won’t end up in her own favor . with anthony’s protective nature ( a trait , she adores , but in this scenero , she doesn’t see it playing well for her ) , he will fetch the doctor & she will have to endure more tiresome ordeal of having to reassure everyone that she was fine . besides , johanna was thankful for the time she gets to spend with nessa . between their latest traveling adventures & adjusting , there hasn’t been much time .
❝ you must be enjoying yourself , then . ❞ a pause as johanna realized her statement didn’t make much sense at all . she rushes to add , ❝ since boq is here . ❞ she should have known , of course , that boq would take nessa . it wouldn’t make very much sense if someone else besides anthony took johanna . ❝ the two of you are doing well ? ❞ she knows her words are vague , but she does wonder if their relationships is doing as well as nessa makes it seem .
𝘏𝘌𝘙 𝘋𝘈𝘛𝘌 was far less an impressive actor than she , though nessarose supposes that she has a bit more experience throughout her childhood , playing the role of a satisfied child to appease her father . the way boq refused to be with her longer than a few minutes was the first of red flags , many of which their fellow attendees picked up on -- and then brought up to her , as if she couldn’t see it as clear as day ! nessa could be naïve at times , but she wasn’t a fool .
❛ i suppose we are , ❜ she says in return , her words just as vague and unrevealing . johanna was the last person to judge her , yet nessarose never liked to verbalize the issues that were present in her relationship . it was hard to see a problem when it was never acknowledged , and ignored so well . ❛ it’s one of those stagnant points , you know ? we’ve settled into each other nicely . it’s a good thing . ❜

HER SMILE AND WORDS PUT HIM AT EASE, AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT. topher doesn’t have many friends, just as there are not many places he has seen outside of his home and school. and none of his friends are girls. he has never spoken much with many young women, in fact. his sister marries when he is still very young, and she moves to her husband’s kingdom thereafter. topher might have worried over this more than necessary. nessarose, at least, hardly seems more intimidating than any other well-spoken or well-born peer.
“ where is it that you study? ” he asks, excited at finding a source of commonality there. if he is to make a fool of himself talking of her homeland, perhaps he will not conversing of school. “ i have only attended boarding schools in my life, and none of them have been near oz, i’m afraid. ” and none of them have any girls in attendance, either. but topher doesn’t explain that.
𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘛𝘖𝘗𝘐𝘊 of conversation was one that was safe , to say the least . the chattering of two school - aged young adults landed on a common ground , that of their studies ; even the most socially stunted and awkward of people could carry a conversation about that . not to mention , nessarose felt especially unsure of what to discuss with a boy , the feeling almost worsening than how it would have been before her days at university . now , she was all too aware of the standards that were in place , and what boys like topher may expect .
❛ did you pass through the emerald city on your way here ? ❜ nessa asks , assuming that his geographical knowledge was lacking in all areas of her country . ❛ it’s in a city called shiz , of which the school shares its name with . nowadays , it really is a bit of a college town , but quaint nonetheless . did you travel often for your education ? ❜
