Christmas Wishes, Secret Kisses

All the way back in October I got tagged by the wonderful @firawren in Ficback Friday!

📚 First Bookmark 🔖

Rules: Share (one of) your first Ao3 bookmark(s) then tag others to join!

I thought I might have enough time to get some art in before posting, just in time for Christmas! (But not Friday!)

One of my first bookmarks on AO3 was Secret Santa and the Ugly Sweater Contest by @annas-hair-donut / @loonysama !

Thoughtful, fluffy and funny with just the right amount of seasonal angst, it’s still one of my favourite Kristanna Modern AU stories from one of my favourite authors.

Please don’t post or use my art for any purpose without express permission.

Frozen x BATB Yuletide Exchange 2024 Master List

This year, we have 12 fanfics and one piece of fan art for the exchange! You can find the entire collection here. Links to individual fics with descriptions are below.

Frozen

A little expertise @lyricalark (@snowberriesromanoff)

(Anna/Kristoff, T)

Kristoff is a wedding planner who took over his mom Bulda's business when she retired. She's always said she'll come out of retirement to plan his wedding but he's not holding his breath. Anna is a bride-to-be like any other, except she's clearly not happy and her fiancé Hans doesn't see or doesn't care to see. And Kristoff is starting to care. Or, the Kristanna Wedding Planner AU

Fir-needles and Crocuses @be_my_druidess (@true--north)

(Anna & Elsa; Anna/Kristoff, T)

Anna and Elsa invite Kristoff to spend Christmas with them.

How You Kiss an Arendellian Princess @annas-hair-donut

(Anna/Kristoff; Kristoff & the Trolls, M)

The Arendellian princess will die in the eternal winter if she doesn’t stay the night in Kristoff’s cabin. All Kristoff has to do is get through one night without falling for her. It would be easier if there weren’t just one stack of hay, one blanket, and seven rock trolls living in his head who keep trying to fix him up with a woman who’s engaged to someone else. Or, an alternate meet cute where Anna wanders into Kristoff's cabin instead of Oaken's and the rock trolls live in Kristoff’s head instead of the Valley of the Living Rock.

Snowed In With Open Doors @chibiotaku4life

(Anna/Hans, G)

Hans has a special surprise for Anna this year when they are snowed in during her favorite holiday.

Under the Winter Moon @sunflowers-and-sandwiches

(Anna/Kristoff; Anna & Elsa, T)

Christmas can be a wonderful time of celebration and giving, but sometimes gifts aren’t the only things that come unwrapped. Will Elsa and Anna get their hearts’ true Christmas wishes?

Valiant, pungent, Santa baby! @annaorthenorthernlights

(Anna/Kristoff, E)

Kristoff has planned a special Christmas surprise for Anna...

You'll Never be Alone @flowerinherhair (@glassslippers-n-cowboyboots)

(Elsa/Hans, T)

Hans Westergaard is in a friendly little competition with Elsa Arendelle for the top spot in the law school class. Maybe Hans wants more than for things to be friendly between them though.

Beauty & the Beast

Hidden Desires Seeking Satisfaction @biblioscribler (@99goosebumps)

(Belle/Beast, E)

Belle plays a naughty game of hide and seek with Beast.

Something sweet @firawren

(Beast/Belle, M)

Belle challenges her grumpy roommate Adam to take part in her Christmas tradition of doing acts of service for people. He thinks it’s ridiculous. Everyone knows Christmas is just about selling shit and families fighting. But as he starts to give it a try, he discovers that maybe he kind of likes being nice. And maybe he really likes Belle, too.

Stories @flowerinherhair @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots)

(Adam/Belle, T)

Adam is risking being kicked out of his university program if he doesn't get at least a 75% on his final English essay. He needs a tutor and the one person who can help him is the beautiful, smart, intimidating girl who sits in the front row.

Frozen x BATB Crossovers

Behind the Curtain of Snowfall @chibiotaku4life

(Belle/Ryder Nattura, T)

Belle and Ryder have a terrifying run-in with wolves, and find what's really important in the winter woods.

Books of a Flurry @paigebstorey

(Belle & Elsa, G)

Belle works in the local bookstore cafe, a place of wonder and escape from the hustle and bustle of the world outside. This is the story of how she met her favorite customer.

The Icy Roses @magentacravat

(Belle & Elsa, G)

Belle has rose powers or even plant growth powers that, like Elsa's ice powers, are tied to love. The icy goddess finally meets her counterpart with the power of roses of love.

This year's batch is so great! Here's some quick stats from this year's exchange:

We had 3 Frozen x BATB crossover fics, including 2 Belle/Elsa and the very first fic in the Belle/Ryder Nattura tag. We need more of both ships!

We had 11 fanfics created by 9 writers and 1 piece of fan art, with @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots and @chibiotaku4life both writing pinch hits for the exchange! Thank you so much for showing a little extra love so everyone could participate!

@sunflowers-and-sandwiches created the beautiful banner for this year's exchange. Thank you so much for lending your talents!

@paigebstorey served as our co-mod this year. Thank you so much for your help! Hopefully she'll take over one day.

We had 5 NSFW fics and 8 SFW works this year.

I also want to apologize for posting this so late, especially since some of these are Christmas themed. It's 100% my fault so please go and read those fics anyway!

WIP Wednesday: Last Line Tag Game

Another week, another tag game! Please share your last sentence; or, if you don’t have one, share a plot bunny or idea! (OR sketch for your artwork!)

I got tagged by @mollywog several weeks ago, but am finally doing this! Thanks for the tag!

Before the Cobb, he'd had blessedly little familiarity with the sensation of regret, but over the last few tortured weeks, he'd felt it often and learned to despise it, the heavy, rotten gnawing of it in his gut.

Thanks for the tag @firawren & @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 45

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 208,023. And that's a bit surprising because a bunch of my longer fics are only on AHA or my website.

3. What fandoms do you write for? Mostly Jane Austen, all novels, Elizabeth Gaskell (Wives & Daughters), and Anne Bronte (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall). I have also technically written Oscar Wilde and My Happy Marriage, but those were very transformative.

I also have written some fics based on Kdramas, mostly for Alchemy of Souls.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A Ride to Netherfield - Jane breaks her leg on the way to Netherfield and must stay for a month. Short one-shot (6k) and the first Pride & Prejudice variation I wrote.

Of Every Elizabeth - short and sweet Pride & Prejudice fluff, Darcy has nicknames for the plethora of Elizabeth's he's met over the course of his life (it was a super common name at the time)

Carry Me! - three vignettes of Jang Uk and Cho Yeong from Alchemy of Souls after they are married

The Fourth Bennet Sister - long fic (30k words), Pride & Prejudice variation where Kitty Bennet becomes aware that she is in a novel. She desperately tries to protect her sisters from harm.

All's Fair in Love and War - short Pride & Prejudice variation. Mrs. Bennet has weaponized compromise, men live in constant fear of being forced to marry.

5. Do you respond to comments? Yep. Every time.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Umm.... I'm not good at writing angst. I don't like characters to suffer for too long.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All of them?

8. Do you get hate on fics? Yes, because I dared to write Mr. Darcy marrying Anne Elliot. People get more angry about that for some reason than Elizabeth Bennet marrying Captain Wentworth in the same fic. Someone even told me Darcy would rather "throw himself off of Pemberley" rather than marry anyone other than Elizabeth. (Fic is called One Week Late)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I have written smut a few times, it's pretty vanilla because I am pretty vanilla. I was reading Victorian erotica when I wrote my longest one, A Little Before Their Marriage (Jane & Bingley fic).

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I constantly write crossovers, my first published novel is a massive crossover, Prideful & Persuaded. One of my fun shorts is Fall on the Sword, where every canonically single woman in Austen's novels decides if they want to try for the recently divorced Mr. Rushworth.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No, though someone did translate one of my meta posts from Tumblr. That was cool.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, The Marriage Contest with Branch Cloudsky and two with Amelia Marie Logan, Poor Caroline and Inferior Connections. All Pride & Prejudice fics, all funny. (You need an AO3 account for that one, the other two are on my personal website)

14. What’s your all time favourite ship? Catherine Morland & Henry Tilney. They are the only Austen couple I cannot bear to break up.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I am writing a queer retelling of Emma called "Different Ways of Being in Love", where Jane Fairfax and Emma were lovers as teenagers, Jane is bi, Emma is a lesbian, and Mr. Knightley is ace, but I got stuck on the middle part. Someday hopefully!

16. What are your writing strengths? I'm told I write some pretty hilarious farces. I am told I do characterization well, which is my main goal when writing fan fiction. I try to stick as close to canon as possible.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I don't write enough filler or develop things well enough. I like writing action.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I would possibly try my hand at French, but probably never. I also have a lot of trouble reading accented speech (looking at you Wuthering Heights), so I'd probably never write it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? I am fairly certain I started writing a fix-it fic for Nineteen Eighty-Four after I read it in high school. Not sure I would be able to locate it but it did exist. The first since I started writing again was a sequel to Pride & Prejudice.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Probably Unfairly Caught (my other published work) or The Fourth Bennet Sister. I NEEDED to write a Mansfield Park fic because I hate the ending, so it fixed my dissatisfied feelings. My goal is to edit The Fourth Bennet Sister and get it published sometime this year.

WIP Tag Game

As everyone knows by now, I probably won't be writing any more new fanfic (but I will finish Head Over Feet). But since @the-red-butterfly tagged me I'll leave this bittersweet list of what could have been:

And If I Change My Mind (Frozen, Kristanna) This is a long fic continuation of the Bandana AU where Anna works in Kris' garage. Lots of friends-to-lovers vibes, forbidden love, workplace romance, trauma recovery, jealousy (Anna was going to date Mattias for a bit there), and I was also going to have some Belle/Ryder shipping going on (trust me, they'd be great together).

C U Next Tuesday (Frozen, Helsa) This was supposed to be for Frozen Smut Week, but, unfortunately, I spent all my time on Good Cop, Bad Cop instead. Hans is a straight-A student, but can't seem to catch a break in his economics class. His TA is a stuck-up B who tells him to come to office hours if he wants any help. He refuses to ask for help, though, even if it means raising his grade. Then one night at a bar, he meets this mysterious woman who shows him what it's really like to be helpless and BDSM changes his life (for the better).

Keelhaul (Frozen, Rydoff) This is another Smut Week fic that didn't happen. Ryder is a stowaway on Kristoff's pirate ship. He was going to be keelhauled (tied on a rope and dragged in the water next to the ship - usually a death sentence), but then Kristoff decides he would do some keelhauling of his own in his cabin.

Sittin' in Your Tree (Frozen, Kristanna) It's sort of a song fic based on the song "C'est La Vie" by B*Witched. Extremely shy widower Kristoff has a second chance with his neighbor from childhood when he enrolls his daughter in her Irish dance class.

Sunflowers Vol. 7 (or so) (Frozen, Kristanna/Rydoff/Hansanna) Based on the song Sunflowers Vol. 6 by Harry Styles. Kristoff (a veterinarian) and Anna (Elsa's chief of staff) are happily married with kids, but Kristoff has a secret he's been hiding from Anna. When Kristoff moves to a new clinic, he meets vet tech Ryder, and Kristoff can no longer keep his secret. Anna leans on worst enemy/douchebag ex-boyfriend/obnoxious lobbyist Hans for support and old feelings rekindle. Told from dual POV.

Anyway, that's what I got!

20 Questions for fic writers

I've been tagged by @firawren @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots and @bethanydelleman

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 149, apparently. Bear in mind, most of these are very, very short, including 3 rounds now of the February Ficlet Challenge.

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 297,078

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Frozen is the big one, also Tangled, various Jane Austen fandoms (mostly Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey), as well as Downton Abbey.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Means of Uniting Them (Pride and Prejudice)

Have You Heard? (Pride and Prejudice, something of a "prequel" to The Means of Uniting Them)

The Young Diplomat (Frozen/Tangled crossover)

Mrs. Darcy and Her Sister (Pride and Prejudice, Darcy/Jane, Bingley/Elizabeth)

What If... (Frozen canon divergence drabble collection)

5. Do you respond to comments? I do, even if it literally takes a year or two.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I suppose "Have You Heard?", at least of my works that have more readers than I have fingers and toes... (a few of my OC drabble collections are pretty angsty, but almost nobody reads those...)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Happiest? I don't know. I haven't published most of my darker stuff, so nothing ends too badly. I suppose some of them might be a bit bittersweet.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I got some on the Darcy/Jane ficlet.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I've written a bit, and "vanilla" would probably describe it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I write a lot of crossovers. As far as the craziest, I suppose the Elsa/Darcy one...?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? One to German and one to Russian.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I've never tried.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship? Anna/Kristoff

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Probably one of them that I haven't started posting outside of some drabbles and ficlets. Maybe I'll get around to some of them eventually. (My WWII Downton Abbey post-canon AU is probably the one I'd love to actually write a proper longfic for.)

16. What are your writing strengths? I've gotten compliments on my dialogue.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Feelings? That's where I feel weakest, anyway.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? A lot of my dialogue can be assumed to be translated from another language, but aside from a few words I never write dialogue in another language.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Frozen

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? The Young Diplomat, being the beginning of all the plot and characters that spend the most time living rent-free in my head, probably deserves this distinction.

First and Last Lines

Thank you for the tag, @firawren!

Rules: post the first and last lines of the last 10 fics you posted.

The Prince and the Peasant (Gaston/Adam, Rated E)

Adam Alexandre Alsace du Maurier set down his quill and moved to seal the latest letter intended for his parents.

They spent the evening kissing and cuddling and laughing - a peasant and his prince.

A Slice of Humble Pie (Gaston/Adam, Rated E)

It was three o’clock on a Tuesday and Adam Benson needed a drink.

Even better than snow on Christmas morning.

Dried Rose Bookmark (Belle/Adam, Rated E)

It was Sunday night in Philadelphia and Belle was running behind schedule.

Beauty and her Beast.

Always You (Gaston/Adam, Rated E)

After pouring herself some coffee, Belle sat down at her desk and opened her laptop to check if she received any messages on the Fairy Tale Romance dating website.

That night, when they arrived at their newly purchased Victorian home in West Philadelphia, they made love underneath the covers and then Gaston fell asleep holding Adam in his arms, thinking of the many possible universes that might exist, and hoping that he found his way to Adam in each and every one.

Sweeping Over Feet (Gaston/Adam, Rated E)

Adam had just finished wrapping up the leftover baked goods that they would sell for half-price the next day at the Little Rose Cafe and Bakery.

"Yeah,” Gaston said before planting another quick kiss on Adam’s lips. “He can.”

Gaston's Tangled Adventures (Gaston&Rapunzel, Rated T)

The sun had only just risen above the horizon when Gaston set out on his latest hunting excursion.

Days later, Gaston reached the village, returning with a renewed sense of peace and confidence, and as he passed by one of the shops, he stopped to admire his reflection in the window, thinking about his strange, magical, wonderful friendship, and how Goddamn magnificent he was to have successfully cultivated it.

Roses and Daffodils (Gaston/Adam [mainly], Adam/Belle, Rated E)

In the middle of the night, Gaston sat alone in his bedroom staring at the sea of glass shards that were scattered across the floor, watching his reflection glimmer and dance in the light of the moon.

“I know,” Gaston said, taking Adam’s hand and kissing it. “I made damn sure of it.”

Blood and Ice Cream (Adam/Belle, Gaston/Belle, Adam/Gaston, Gaston/Adam/Belle, Rated E)

When Gaston opened the door to Adam’s mansion on Euclid Avenue, his ears were flooded with the sounds of lively jazz music and excited conversation between the many other party-goers.

And it was wonderful.

Once Upon a Dream (Gaston/Adam, Rated E)

It was the middle of May and a black-haired, blue-eyed boy was wandering through the forest, just beyond the footbridge to the castle, clutching his bow.

Gaston pulled Adam in for a kiss. “I love you too.”

Cocked and Loaded (Gaston/Anna/Kristoff, Rated E)

As Gaston walked through the forest on an especially hot summer day, he wiped the sweat from his brow, slightly regretting his choice to venture into the woods by himself. 

“Besides, I’ve always wanted to hunt reindeer."

Valiant Reindeer Ice King

Please do NOT use or repost my art for any reason without express permission.

I don’t know what has inspired this, because I mostly read modern AU Kristanna fanfics (@loonysama (annas-hair-donut), @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots (flowersinherhair), @hiptoff @annaofthenorthernlights you’re all inspiring authors) and don’t look at sneak peeks for future Frozen sequels because I don’t want to ruin the ending for myself, be surprised and enjoy the moments we already have with these characters. But I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night the other week and this image filled my entire mind. He’s back again with an entire origin story, so guess I better post it!

Note to self: don’t draw weird things late at night!

[kristanna-days]

Happy 1st Anniversary to the Frozen Hearts Worth Melting Discord Server!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, some of the server members have written fanfics of about 1,000 words. The only requirement was that they must include the words "frozen," "hearts," "worth," and "melting."

The Frozen Hearst Worth Melting server is a server for Frozen and/or Beauty and the Beast fanfic who are dedicated to the transformative power of love. You can DM me or @thefamilybruno if you want to join the server.

Disappeared with no trace @PirateoftheSouthernIsles @pirate-of-the-southern-isles (Frozen, T) Anna was invited to the Southern Isles to discuss an incident that happened almost a year ago - and, most importantly, the progres in fixing it.

She Didn't Have Time @flowerinherhair/@glassslippers-n-cowboyboots (Kristanna, T) Down on her luck, single mom Anna gets a flat tire which leads her to meeting a handsome mechanic named Kristoff.

Whirling sensation @annaofthenorthernlights (Kristanna, T) She was freezing. Well, not to death, but it was bitterly cold, and Anna could not believe that Kristoff had left her standing there, almost frozen to death.

View the entire collection on AO3.

*The collection will remain open as some members may still post fics.

**Thank you to @paigebstorey for the amazing flyer!!!**
