The Great Thaw
Anna's eyes opened when nothing blew into them. She shivered, weakly lifting her head up to see a tall, bulky figure in the distance. "Kristoff..."
He panted upon seeing her, but snapped out of it, bolting to her. "Anna!"
She took another small step to him as Y/n let go of her arm, doubling over into herself. She was just able to watch the two about to finally reunite.
Shing.
Y/n took her eyes off of them and saw the wielder of the sword and his prey.
"Elsworth...?" she whispered as she watched Hans draw nearer to him, vulnerable in his tears with his back turned to him.
She reached out to get Anna's attention. Just as she grabbed her cloak, she realized that if Anna were to see, she would sacrifice herself and die. Instead, she let go quickly and managed to walk quicker than she had been to Elsworth.
Anna looked behind her at Y/n, the snow sticking to her cheeks turning quickly to water. When she looked at her hands, all she saw was white skin instead of white snow, undamaged by the ice. She looked back at Kristoff, who stopped a few feet ahead of her, confused by her auburn hair. Not a trace of white remained, including the streak that she had first met him with.
They both looked back again, Anna gasping when she saw the same scene her best friend did, now with Y/n forcing herself over.
With one last burst of energy, she threw herself in front of Elsworth, crying out, "No!" Her hand shot into the air for the sword instead as her body froze over. It reached her fingertips just as Hans hit her, causing it to shatter. He fell back, landing on his back from the force of the shock wave as Y/n let out a final puff of air.
Feeling the wave, Elsworth looked up, seeing the frozen statue of Y/n. "Y/n!" He got up in a panic, his hands clasped by his mouth, then slowly brought to cup her cheeks. "Oh, Y/n...my Y/n, no...no...please, no..."
He threw himself onto her, sobbing, one arm over her neck, the other other around her waist.
"Y/n...?" Olaf asked lowly as Sven slowly walked up next to Kristoff.
Anna covered her mouth with her hands and turned into Kristoff's shoulder, crying quietly. He put an arm around her and lowered his head, eyes closed. Even the people watching from the balcony dropped their heads in mourning.
From her chest, the ice began to thaw ever so slowly, spreading out up to her chin and to her waist. Olaf was the first to see, gasping with delight.
Sven nudged Kristoff, who looked up. When he saw Y/n thawing, he shook Anna until her head lifted and she looked at her. She gasped and began to bounce in place, a smile appearing.
After she had finished thawing, she exhaled, dropping her arms. Elsworth pushed back when he felt movement and saw Y/n smiling down at him. "Y/n?" He stood back up, his arms wrapped around her in a hug.
"Oh, Elsworth." She hugged him back after years of waiting, letting in a breath of contentment.
After they had pulled away, Y/n took his hands, wanting to savor finally being able to touch him.
"You sacrificed yourself for me?" he asked on disbelief.
Squeezing his hands, she admitted boldly, "I love you."
"Y/N!!!!" Anna interrupted, running straight for her and ruining the moment like her adorable self would. She crashed into her lady-in-waiting, nearly knocking her down into the snow. Y/n grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer for a hug.
After a minute of watching them hug, the realization hit Olaf. He dramatically inhaled in a gasp and put his hands to his cheeks, so shocked that he lifted his head off his body. "An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart," he recited, putting his head back down and his hands on front of him, folded.
Elsworth tilted his head slightly at Olaf, repeating, "Love will thaw...love...of course!" He grinned at the girls, lifting his hands and looking at them excitedly.
"Elsworth?" Y/n questioned, looking at his hands as he raised them.
"Love!"
They looked at the ground and saw snowflakes begin to raise in the air.
Na na na heyana
Hahiyaha naha
Sven vigorously licked at the snowflakes as they left the earth.
Naheya heya na yanuwa
Anhahe yunuwana
They rose from the ship they stood on. On the balcony, the snow broke and slid off and the fountains in the courtyard broke free of their ice and shot out their gushers again.
Na na na heyana
Hahiyaha naha
Flowers bloomed again once the snow left. A little girl opened the window in her house in awe of the snow leaving and summer coming back.
Naheya heya na yanuwa
Anhahe yunuwana
Everyone watched the show flurry away with huge smiles, beginning to discard their winter cloaks. Children even ran after it, trying to catch it and giggling in the process. A small boy led the group with his little sister trailing behind, smiling at him adoringly.
Na na na heyana
Hahiyaha naha
Naheya heya na yanuwa
Anhahe yunuwana...
The snow rushed in the air in the middle of the kingdom, shaping itself into a giant snowflake. Elsworth let his hands to the side and the snow disappeared completely.
Anna put a hand on her brother's shoulder and said proudly, "We knew you could do it."
Olaf's voice pierced into the air of the summer he had always dreamed of. "Hands down, this is the best day of my life." One of his arms dropped onto the dock and his face began to slide down. With a fear-induced smile, he added, "And quite possibly the last." The carrot fell into the puddle, his form almost completely gone.
"Olaf!" Elsworth exclaimed with a chuckle. "Hang on, little guy." He waved his hands to reform the snowman. Overhead, a small cloud burst forth a few snowflakes, continuously giving out more.
"My own personal flurry!" Olaf squealed, delighted enough to let out a cute laugh.
Anna giggled, looking back at her brother and what she assumed to be her future sister-in-law. But the moment of bliss for her was cut by a groan. Behind them was Hans, struggling to pull himself back up from the blast that had previously knocked him back.
Kristoff and Y/n began to march over, stopped by Anna's arm. "Ah ah ah ah." She held up a finger to them, then put on her 'serious mode face', straightened back her shoulders, and walked over to Hans, standing over him as he rubbed his jaw, snapping it back on place.
Seeing her, he gave a look of confusion. "Anna?" Pushing off the side of the boat to get up, he choked out, "But he froze your heart."
"The only frozen heart around here is yours." She turned to leave, stopped, then swung her fist as she turned back, not only landing a perfect punch in his pretty-boy face, but contorting it in on itself and knocking him off of the ship and into the water. He screamed, then splashed, everyone watching cheering.
Y/n walked over to look out at him over the ledge. She put a hand on Anna's shoulder and said, "Aww. Just like how you met."
Anna shook her by the shoulder, then looked at Elsworth, who held his arms out. She went right into them, holding him tightly.
Kristoff watched with a smile as Sven nuzzled up to him. He threw an arm around him and pulled him closer. Anna, feeling him looking at them, opened her eyes and smiled back.
On the other side, Y/n still watched from her spot, leaning on the edge of the ship. After the siblings had pulled apart, Elsworth walked over to her and took her shoulders, hugging her to his chest/himself to her chest [depending on your height]. Once they had pulled apart, he tucked in a piece of her now-h/c hair behind her ear and began to lean in, wanting to kiss her, but not wanting to force it.
Y/n grabbed his cheeks and pressed his lips into hers. Startled at first, he kissed back, eyes closed.

The first thing the ship sailing back to the Southern Isles did was literally throw Hans into a cell and slam the bars on him.
To Kai, the French Dignitary announced, "I shall return this scoundrel to his country. We shall see what his twelve big brothers think of his behavior."
"Arendelle thanks you, My Lord," Kai responded with a smile.
Behind him, he heard the yellings of, "This is unacceptable! I am a victim of fear! I have been traumatized! Ow! My neck hurts!" The duke held the back of his neck, rubbing it. Bringing down his voice to sound as if he were in pain, he asked, "Is there a doctor I could see? No?" He straightened himself back up and yelled at the guards escorting him up the ship. "I demand to see the king!" He jabbed a finger under one of their chins.
"Oh, I have a message from the king," Kai announced as he went to the duke with a scroll. Reading from it, he announced, " 'Arendelle will henceforth and forever no longer do business of any sort with Weaseltown.' "
The duke leaked in as Kai read, trying to get a look for himself. His face fell when he saw that it was indeed true, even after Kai had ripped the scroll away from him.
"Weaselton!" he shouted back as he was dragged onto the ship, falling on deaf ears as Kai walked away. "It's Weaselton...!"

"Come on come on come on..." Anna kept repeating as she dragged a blindfolded Kristoff through the village.
"Okay, okay, here I come," he laughed, then promptly slammed his face into a lightpost. "Pole..." he winced.
"Sorry." Anna took his arm and pulled him around it. Pulling him just a few more feet, she began to bounce. "Okay. Okay. Here we are. Oh." Realizing he still had a blindfold on, she reached over and took it off. With a very tight squeal, she said, "I owe you a sled."
There sat a royal blue sled with white decoration and Arendelle's seal on the front of it. Sven strutted over, wearing a pendant with a snowflake emblem. He ran one of his hooves down it, impressed.
With his mouth opening, Kristoff asked lowly, "Are you serious?"
"Yes! And it's the latest model.
"I can't accept this," he insisted.
But Anna shoved a finger into his face, demanding, "You have to. No returns. No exchanges. King's orders. He's named you the official Arendelle Ice Master and Deliverer."
Sven proudly flaunted his pendant, the snowflake shining in the sunlight.
"What? That's not a thing," Kristoff teased.
"Oh, sure it is." She waved off his concern with a hand, then proudly added, "And it even has a cup holder." Hopefully, she asked, "Do you like it?"
"Like it? I love it!" He picked her up and spun her around in the air, laughing with her before blurting out, "I could kiss you!" He put her down before doubling back, stuttering, "I - I could. I mean, I'd like to. I'd...may I? We me? I mean, may we? Wait, what?"
While he was turned away, confused by his own bumbling nonsense, Anna leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "We may."
Taking that as consent, he put an arm around her back and kissed her. She kissed him, as well, putting her arms around his neck as his other found the other side of her waist.

"SUMMER!" Olaf cried, jumping up excitedly as he ran around. He chuckled, turning his body around to some purple flowers in a pot by him. "Hello," he said before taking in a big sniff of them. He let out a content, "Ah..." before gulping down air and letting out a sneeze with such force, his carrot shot out, right into Sven's mouth. He gasped when it disappeared completely in the reindeer's mouth and touched the middle of his face, now bear. Disappointed, he lowered his head, lifting it back just in time for Sven to come running over and shove the carrot back into his face. He laughed with joy, hugging the reindeer by the head as Sven licked his lips to get the last of the remaining carrot taste, then caught one of his flurry snowflakes with his tongue.

Everyone gathered into the courtyard, the king in the middle. He looked around with a big smile. "Are you ready?" he called out, met back with a cheer and claps from everyone.
He stomped on the ground, ice coming from his feet and covering the ground. He watched as the ice decorated the walls, then refroze the fountains, now in pretty swirls. With an explosion, snow came from the sky again, now still sunny rather than a horrible blizzard.
One of the village boys caught the snow in his hands, smiling at it. A girl behind him began to skate, followed by everyone else.
"Swing me!" Gerda cried as she skated with Kai, stopping in the middle to spin. Kai dropped to a knee and took her hand.
As everyone enjoyed the wintery-summer around the king, Elsworth scanned the crowd for Y/n. He found her by Anna and glided over, stopping just behind her.
Anna, seeing her brother, pointed behind Y/n. She looked, smiling when she saw him. Taking her hand, he skated her to the center of the courtyard, his other hand behind his back. To her then, once they had come to a stop, he said, "Thank you. For...not giving up on me."
She slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "You're welcome. But you should also thank Anna, you know."
"I will, I will," he assured. "I just...wanted a moment with you."
He put his arms on her shoulders, about to kiss her again, when Anna slid over, falling into Y/n.
"Moment over," Y/n teased.
Warmly smiling at her, Elsworth came between them to take Anna's arms to steady her.
"I like the open gates," she said, holding his forearms.
"We are never closing them again," he promised, looking upon her fondly. Glancing at her feet, he waved his hands, making ice skates appear.
"Oh, Elsworth, they're beautiful, but you know I don't skate."
"But your maid does ~" Y/n replied, pushing into her back. Anna cried out, startled, as Elsworth dragged her to skate with him, Y/n by her side, as always, gliding her feet along.
"You can do it!" Elsworth encouraged.
"Reindeer coming through!" Kristoff warned as he came by them with Sven, holding onto his tail as Sven slipped on by.
"I got it, I got it!" Anna cheered as she began to skate with ease. But she slipped, crying out, "I don't got it, I don't got it!"
"Hey, guys!" Olaf bumped Anna up from behind so that she was straight rather than about to fall into her brother.
"That's it, Olaf."
"Glide and pivot," he directed, skating alongside them. "Glide and pivot."
Y/n skated closer to Elsworth, taking one of his hands and letting the other stay on Anna, who was beginning to get the hang of it.
And they all lived happily ever after...
The end.

Elsworth:
Let it go...
Let it go...
Can't hold it back anymore...
Let it go...
Let it go...
Turn my back and slam the door...
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint, not a thing
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the king
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in. Heaven knows I tried
"Don't let them in, don't let them see
"Be the good boy you always have to be
"Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know..."
Well, now they know!
Let it go
Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go
Let it go
Turn my back and SLAM the door
And here I stand...
And here I'll stay
Let it go
Let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway ~
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold, thin air I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind, but I'm too relieved to grieve!
Let it go,
Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go
Let it go
Turn my back and SLAM the door
And here I stand...
And here I'll stay!
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Y/n:
Standing
Frozen
In the life you've chosen
I will
Find you
The future's bright, I miss you
Burry
All your snow
Elsworth!
Let it go...
Let it go...
Can't hold it back anymore...
Let it go!
Let it go!
Turn my back and SLAM the door!
And here I stand!
And here I'll stay!
Let it go!
Let it go!
The cold never bothered me anyway!
Y/n:
[Standing]
[Frozen]
Elsworth:
Yeah!
Y/n:
[In the life you've chosen]
Elsworth:
Let it go!
Y/n:
[I will]
[Find you]
Elsworth:
Yeah-ah!
Y/n:
[The future's bright, I miss you]
Elsworth:
Na-na
Y/n:
[Burry]
[All your snow]
Elsworth:
Here I stand!
Let it go
Let it go
Ohhhh
Let it go...

Marshmallow stormed into the ice palace, still grunting. He stepped on the crown that Elsworth had thrown. Picking it up, he grinned, placing it on his head, a light overhead shining on him.
