7!!Provides Examples Of:
8
9* AlternateHistory: This is UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars if Napoleon's Grande Armée is assisted by an [[IcePerson Ice Person]] who happens to be a member of the House of Hohenzollern. Also, the Kingdom of Prussia apparently doesn't exist; the Kingdom of Corona fits Prussia's historical role, where it is mentioned that Rapunzel is the child of real life Prussian King William Frederick II and Elizabeth Christine.
10%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* BloodierAndGorier: Downplayed but played for realism (in the parts centered around the Napoleonic Wars)
11* {{Crossover}}: With ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', and eventually, most of the Franchise/{{Disney Animated Canon}}. [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Triton's kingdom]] sides with the coalitions against Napoleon, [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Maldonia]] is reimagined as a state on the Indian subcontinent, [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Prince Adam]] serves in Napoleon's armies, among other things.
12* DeadFic: Hasn't been updated since April 14, 2015.
13* {{Doorstopper}}: The fic has 113 chapters and 239,184 words.
14* HistoricalAU: The story takes place in 1804, which is a couple decades earlier than 1840s ''Frozen'' was set.
15* HistoricalDomainCharacter: UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte appears and, yes, it's ''that'' Napoleon.
16* HistoricalFiction: Most scenes are set against the backdrop of historical events, or at least [[AlternateHistory a variation on them]], with some fantasy elements thrown in.
17* LieBackAndThinkOfEngland: It isn't that Elsa dislikes sex, it's just that she has a marriage/procreation agreement with her husband Napoleon (yes, [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte that Napoleon]]), making the act pragmatic and about political calculus, thus on her wedding night she lies back and thinks of Arendelle.
18* ScrapbookStory: The story is told through a student's history class report (this is subtle, however)
