I’ve actually been meaning to do this for some time: update my fic rec list. I realise I have become quiet, for varying reasons that I won’t bore you with now. But, I still like being part of this fandom, and so I have compiled a list of my “favourite to reread” stories.

As such, most of them are complete. They mostly Elsanna (unrelated) though there is a Tadelsa and a Frozen Swan fic. These are just stories that… I don’t know.

These are the stories that stay with me.

Hover over the description to see my own opinion or thoughts on the story. Will be updated as I find more stories. Under a read-more. If there are any dodgy links, lemme know :)

Cheap Thrills by WolfBrigade | @thewolfbrigade {T ; C} It was supposed to be simple; Anna was going to kickstart the summer before her senior year by vandalizing the principal’s yard. It shouldn’t matter that his daughter’s garden becomes collateral damage, yet Anna finds herself trying to make things right with the uptight and closed off girl.

I just love this story. It’s a highschool AU without all the accompanying angst and bullying. The characters are great, and Wolfbrigade has this awesome ability to provide just enough description to let you know what is happening, but hold back just enough so that when you feel it, it packs a punch with the sudden realisation.

Cold Comfort by Aeschylus Rex | @aeschylusrex {M ; IC} Elsa is a murderer, and her new college roommate, Anna Sorenson, has a dirty little secret.

Fuck I don’t even know what to say about this. There’s something to be said about taking the FWB idea and turning it into this dark, twisted thing. This story… I don’t know if Elsa and Anna are right for each other. They’re both a little bit (…a lot) fucked up. Though where Elsa takes it out on herself, Anna takes it out on the world around her. She seems sadder because of it, and I just want them to be happy ;_;

The Hot and Cold of It by uisceB | @uisceb {E/M+ ; C} Alright, so technically she’s supposed to be saving Storybrooke from evil again…Emma would kind of rather be wrapped up in Elsa though, no matter how cold it gets.

I don’t know how I fell into this trap: someone linked this story, and then there I was, a fervent (if quiet) frozen swan shipper. This fic is excellent, in so many ways. Just calling the author a “good one” is an insult, imo. They are are true wordsmith (and all for lesbian fanfiction, no less!). It’s a fic of deleted scenes that are so well-written it’s hard to believe that this is the very opposite of canon. There are a number of stories, but none have come close to the level of sheer awesomeness that this one exudes (excluding, of course, ‘Consume’, written by the same author). Please do yourself a favour and read this.

The Once and Future Queen by Jedijae | @thegeekogecko {E/M+ ; C} A kingdom searching for an heir. A witness ready to talk. A PI with an anonymous client. A failed hit attempt, and Anna and Elsa are on the run, police and villains in hot pursuit. Can they learn to trust each other enough to survive a plot that threatens Arendelle’s very existence?

This fic got me through a few homesick nights while I was overseas for two weeks. I just… I just fucking love it. It’s the sort of story that feels incredibly well-written, and well thought-out. The characters are believable, the world is believable. The writing is //impeccable. Not to mention that there is an in-progress sequel that threatens to be just as fantastic!

SEEK and Find by Jessica-X | @forkanna {T ; C} Anna Mayberry finally gets the chance to see her favourite pop singers, the internationally-acclaimed SEEK, in person! Especially her idol, Elsa - whom she worships beyond platonically. However, attempting to get an autograph after the show leads to a shift in Anna’s life that she could not have predicted, even in her Wildest Dreams.

This started out as a prompt I sent in to EF, and honestly I just love the premise. It’s the typical popstarxfan story, but with a twist. Ana being strong and capable and teaching Elsa how to have friends is honestly the most adorable, heart-wrenching thing. Elsa getting drunk to sort out her feelings just hurts even more. But it ends happy: I would be very interested in seeing a sequel where they tell the world~

Snowboarding by Blunaowl | @blunaowl {K ; C} Tadashi rekindles his love for an old hobby, and finds a new one in the process.
