I've got lots of ideas at the minute (some good, some bad!) so I've decided to start a series of one shots, mostly Bessa of course, with perhaps some just Boq, and some just Nessa. Some will be musical based, some more AU, and they're not really in any order, but anyway, tell me what you think!


Boq let out a steady breath as he watched Miss Galinda glide across the room in the arms of Fiyero. He was imagining that it was him dancing with her, and not some Prince. He was the one holding her. He was the one whispering sweet words in her ear. It was on his shoulder that she rested her head as the slow music played.

Everything Galinda did was so graceful and so elegant: the way she walked, the way she talked, the way she smiled... to Boq there could be no one more perfect than Galinda Upland. She was simply dazzling and he could not take his eyes off her.

So enthralled was Boq that he failed to notice the one thing in the room that shone brighter than the dazzling Miss Galinda: the sparkling eyes of Nessarose Thropp as she watched the man she was already falling in love with.
