This Frozen fanfic has a number of waterworks-inducing moments, given its setting prior to the events of the movie.

  • In the first few chapters, notice how Elsa always crosses to the other side of her bedroom before letting someone come in. That's how afraid she is of being close to people.
  • Chapter 23, which covers the sisters' learning of their parents' deaths and the third verse of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?". Anna knocking on the door and clearly begging to reach out to Elsa is bad enough by itself. But this fic carries on beyond that and ventures into darker territory by having Elsa then attempt suicide. Anna's horrified reaction the moment she realizes what Elsa's doing, and her tone of voice when she summons Gerda to intervene, only makes it worse. The author had to actually put a trigger warning because of Elsa's suicide attempt.
  • The chapters between when Agdar's death and Elsa's coronation
  • The fact that Elsa knowingly feels terrible having to create Marshmallow to get Anna and Kristoff away from her.
  • Every time Elsa is forced to shut Anna out
