A/N: If ya'll have some good ideas for some of these elements (Lithium, Zinc, Maganese, and Vandium in particular), I'd love to hear them. I have 30 elements to cover and only so much random knowledge of chemistry availible to pull from.

Glinda had always secretly disliked those that vaunted 'bone structure,' pointing out fine features as often as not more defined by the flesh than the bones beneath. That is, until she met Elphaba and realized what those before had been too pompous to see. She had never before grasped how the graceful curve of a collarbone as it joined shoulder to neck could spark red heat in her stomach, had never realized haw every little flutter of the heartbeat in the cool hollow it fade could make her breath hitch and hold until she caught it's sight again. In all her years of critiquing and criticizing the bodies of others had she grasped the inherent grace of a scapula pushed by sweet effort to contrast beneath the skin, or how beautiful the spine was, first presenting itself proudly from the skin and then, near it's conclusion, pulling the flesh around it until it was so shrouded it could not be seen for itself at all. In all her life Glinda had never understood how every bone shaped, supported and defined the flesh around it, until the first time Elphaba stood before her, barer, bony, and beautiful.
