[Link to the fic] Premise: Married life for Elsa and Honeymaren had been bliss. Even as the families around them expanded, they never wanted children of their own. That is, until they met baby Tarzan.

This story took more than four years to write, but it is finally complete! Every log pays homage to a scene in Frozen, and I finally, finally, referenced the infamous fireside chat. The canon scene is barely two minutes long and it sailed the elsamaren ship for so many of us. Honestly, iconic. So how could I not try my hand at an illustration?

The Elsamaren Logs is my comfort AU for half a decade now, and I find myself coming back to it again and again because it brings me so much joy.

An illustration for Wearing the Pants and Dapper Date! (The Wedding Log, Chapters 4 and 5, on AO3)

Of course, featuring the cummerbund and the notorious bowtie.

P.S. This drawing inspired a Mr and Mrs Smith AU for these two. If I ever post it, I guess this will serve as an opening illustration for that fic too!

9 April 2022, 1328H, Elsa: Maren! This is a really good photo of me but you’ve ruined it.

9 April 2022, 1330H, Anna: You’re no better, Elsa. You better be scolding Maren for her inability to pose for a photo because there is no excuse for the next one I’m sending to you guys.

9 April 2022, 1326H, Maren: ☹ How many photos do you have? That photoshoot was expensive.

9 April 2022, 1326H, Elsa: I think we only took 25.

9 April 2022, 1327H, Anna: I wish I was kidding, ladies. But you two are so bad at this. We’ve gone through the whole deck.

9 April 2022, 1328H, Elsa: I’m calling Mum.

9 April 2022, 1328H, Anna: Wait! No need, Mum’s settled on one.

9 April 2022, 1329H, Maren: Oh nice, okay! Which one is it?

9 April 2022, 1329H, Anna: You’ll see in the papers next week 😉

9 April 2022, 1330H, Elsa: Anna.

9 April 2022, 1331H, Anna: Don’t worry about it. It’s honestly the best we can find. Mum’s calling it a compromise HAHAHA
