''Sorry About The Mess'' (now renamed ''Shadows of the North'') is a ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' Fan Fiction about what happens to Elsa, Anna and Kristoff after the events of the movie. An ambassador from Weselton has arrived to try and make amends with Queen Elsa and the rest of Arendelle, bringing gifts and an official apology from the King of Weselton. Not all is as it seems, though, as one of the items that came with the ambassador has a mind of its own and will stop at nothing to bring about its dark purpose.

It can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10019839/ here]].

A prequel named ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10373137/1/Elsa-and-the-Wendigo Elsa and the Wendigo]]'' is being written at the moment. It deals with Elsa and Anna's punishment of Hans for his actions towards them as well as addressing the notion that a number of ice creatures now notice Elsa's power and are being drawn to it, in particular the titular {{Wendigo}}, an Algonquin monster with powers over winter.

!!''Sorry About The Mess'' contains examples of:

* AdaptationalKarma: In the movie, the Duke of Weselton loses his trade treaty with Arendelle for trying to kill Elsea, and Weselton is hit with an outright embargo. Here, the punishment is taken further; according to his successor, the Duke was officially stripped of his title and lands and [[ReassignedToAntarctica promptly sent to Weselton's southern allies to "learn proper manners"]].
* AdaptationExpansion: The Duke of Weselton's hostile attitude towards magic in the movie explained here: He was one of the leaders who led the final charge against the Witch Queen of the North, and his experiences caused him to become an anti-magic extremist.
* AngelsDevilsAndSquid: The basics of the supernatural. [[AllTrollsAreDifferent Grand Pabbie]], [[spoiler: [[FallenAngel The Mirror]]]] and the various member of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent an unnamed third tribe]] were once all part of the same group but they parted ways some time ago for various reasons
* ApologyGift: Weselton sent at ship full of them to Elsa, Anna, and a few for Kristoff in an attempt to apologize for the Duke's attempt at killing Elsa. Each gift has a personal note attached to it and most of them fit the recipient like a glove. Elsa, Anna and Kristoff are each more than a little discomforted by how much attention the Duke must have paid them in order to get them just the right gifts.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler: The Mirror]].
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Olaf. ZigZagged, as at first he seems entirely unaffected, though later he gets just as drunk as everyone else.
* CastingAShadow: Anna gains Shadow magic midway through the story in contrast to Elsa's Ice magic.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler: The Mirror]] as [[spoiler: Anna]] uses it more and more.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* TheDreaded: The Witch Queen of the North and the return of Shadow magic.
* TheDrunkenSailor: The sailors on board Lord Derek's ship decide to see who can drink more: Lord Derek, their liege lord and the ambassador from Weselton, or Olaf, the sentient snowman. It doesn't end in Lord Derek's favor.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: Kristoff, Elsa, and Anna suspect that Weselton is giving them lavish {{Apology Gift}}s (including chocolates for Elsa and Anna, who are established in canon to be [[SweetTooth chocolate lovers]]) as some sort of bribe to make the previous Duke's actions EasilyForgiven.
* ExoticExtendedMarriage: The trolls believe in {{Polyamory}} with wives having multiple husbands while any one of those husbands may have multiple other wives as well. Kristoff says that for a time he had five fathers and three mothers.
* FantasticRacism: A few different times, like Captain Wells against Witches.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** [[OurTrollsAreDifferent Grand Pabbie]], aka [[TheFairFolk Bystander]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** [[spoiler: The Mirror, aka [[FallenAngel Fallen]]]]
* MaliciousMisnaming: The [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 previous Duke of Weselton]]'s actions had not endeared Weselton - "Weasel town" to the main characters.
* MarryThemAll: [[spoiler: Taking a leaf out of Kristoff's familial book, this is how Kristoff, Anna and Elsa solve the problem of who gets to stay with who]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Grand Pabbie's name is Dovregubbens, The Mountain King. Kristoff is given a "troll name" in Dovregubbensarving, The Mountain King's Heir, which makes him a troll prince with a mouthful of a name. This is also something of a test, as this is a fact that will be revealed in time but at the moment isn't published anywhere just yet]].

* NightmareSequence: Lord Derek is forced to relive the most wretched, terrible moments of his life and see his worst fears come to life after [[spoiler: Anna uses Shadow magic on him]]. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], as he doesn't see monsters or the like but instead relives [[spoiler: the moment he was forced to kill his wife]] for hours on end.
* PowerPerversionPotential: After having grown up with almost no contact with people, Elsa had some interesting ideas on how to utilize her ice powers in regards to her ability to create living snowmen.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* RedOniBlueOni: Anna and Elsa, respectively, although it's ZigZagged since as the story goes on they each take on some tendencies of the other.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* RunningGag: Several, such as Weasel Town and Lord Derek's bets with Jenkins.
* ShoutOut
** Kristoff's sword was crafted by an expert Spanish swordsmith named [[Film/ThePrincessBride Domingo Montoya]]
** Grand Pabbie [[spoiler:marries Kristoff, Anna and Elsa]] through the authority granted him by [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse The One Above All]]
* StartOfDarkness: Played with, as [[spoiler: Anna]] starts to become evil due to [[spoiler: the Mirror's]] influence on her, [[spoiler: though she is saved by Elsa and Kristoff]].
* TrueName: [[spoiler:Grand Pabbie's name is not Pabbie, but is in fact Dovregubbens, The Mountain King. As such, Kristoff's "troll name" is Dovregubbensarving, The Mountain King's Heir, which makes him a troll prince with a mouthful of a name. This is also something of a test, as this is a fact that will be revealed in time but at the moment isn't published anywhere just yet]].
* WhamLine: ''"She melted in his arms and for a brief, shining moment all was right in the world and he tried to pretend that everything was as it once was. Then he pulled the dagger from his belt and that dream ended."''
