'''Warning: Spoilers for ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' (2013) will be UNMARKED.'''

''All That Glitters'' is a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic written by user othellia as a self-challenge to write a Hans/Anna {{Continuation}} FanFic which "sticks to both canon events and characterization and have it still ''work''," without "glossing over Hans' actions from the film in the slightest."[[note]]Given the ShipSinking in the ''Frozen'' film, it's common in the fandom for Hans/Anna stories to have Hans's actions in the movie attributed to an evil twin or being under a magical spell.[[/note]]

The official summary is "Anna is in the middle of a visit to the Kingdom of Corona when a mysterious blizzard strikes. As the only person with semi-relevant experience, she sets out to find out what - or who - is behind it all. However, there's only one man who seems to hold any answers, and he might be more trouble than he's worth… (Sequel fic, eventual Hanna.)" Notably, this describes only the first act out of five, but to describe much more would be going into major spoiler territory.

The story can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/2788292/chapters/6257849 here]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn or [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973107/1/All-That-Glitters here]] on Website/FanFictionDotNet.


----
!!This fanfic provides examples of:

* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Anna pretends to fall for Hans again in order to get close enough for him to be willing to give up his powers to save her life. She ends up falling for real.]]
* BedsheetLadder: Anna knots her bed sheets to try and escape from [[spoiler:Hans while he holds her captive. She gets out of her room successfully but Hans catches her in the stables implying he watched her from the beginning of her escape attempt.]]
* BeyondRedemption: Elsa's opinion about Hans is that he fills himself with so much evil and hate that there's only one way it could end.
* BigBrotherBully: The three older brothers who canonically pretended Hans was invisible for two years are named here as Georg, Manfried, and Fritz.
* BlackSheep: Lampshaded. One of Hans' nicer brothers took off years ago. Anna comments that it sounds like he's the "brown sheep" of the family, with Hans being the black one.
* BloodMagic: Anna and Hans exchange blood to break an enchantment protecting a cave they need to enter.
* CassandraTruth: Whenever Hans actually tells the truth or shows his real feelings, no one believes him because of his history of being a {{manipulative|Bastard}} ConsummateLiar.
* CharacterTic: Anna tends to bit her lip or pace when worried or while thinking. [[SharedFamilyQuirks Elsa loves pacing, too]].
* ChekhovsSkill: Anna mentions that she learned to pick locks, because she doesn't want to end up locked in a room to die ever again. In the first act, she picks a lock on Hans' manacles when it's only two of them on a dangerous journey through the mountains. In the last chapter, she [[spoiler:does this again to help Hans escape the trial that can only end with his execution.]]
* CompletedFic: The fic was completed in November 2017.
* ConstructedWorld: Expands upon the geography established in ''Frozen'', which includes the kingdoms of Arendelle and the Southern Isles, and includes the kingdom of Corona from ''Franchise/{{Tangled}}''. The author also invents fictional countries such as Wallonia, Ostenberg, Dunois, Summershire, Weideland, Romsdal, Vestmar, Fjordane, and Nordheim, as well as the cities of Stralshagen and Amersdam.
* {{Crossover}}: A mild one. [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel and Eugene]] appear as secondary characters, and Anna spends a portion of the fic working in their kingdom.
* {{Determinator}}: Anna, as in canon. She absolutely ''refuses'' to give up any hope. When her only lead for stopping the blizzard is Hans claiming he read about a mysterious "magical artifact" in a book of legends, she decides she needs to at least give it a try, despite being even more suspicious of him than the rest of her group. [[spoiler: And when Hans becomes an evil, immortal god, she still holds onto hope of defeating him. When no one can find even a ''rumor'' of a way to defeat a god, other than the god willingly giving up power, Anna insists on trying anyway.]]
* DeterminedDefeatist: Anna puts a lot of effort into pursuing a plan [[spoiler:which banks on Hans saving her life after she willingly ingests poison]]. Yet it's implied she doesn't actually expect this to work, [[spoiler:snapping at Hans during an argument: "At least when I poison myself, I'll finally be taking myself out of a world with ''you'' in it!"]]
* {{Doorstopper}}: The fic is over 168, 000 words.
* EndlessWinter: The plot kicks off when the royal family of Corona, where Anna is staying, gets a message from a neighboring kingdom that they're suffering from a mysterious blizzard in the middle of June and that it's spreading.
* EvilVirtues: Hans sure isn't a saint. He's ruthless and often cruel, but he's determined, intelligent, and quite competent at what he does, [[spoiler: including governing. He genuinely wants to improve life in the kingdoms he rules.]]
* FlashbackNightmare: Anna and Elsa have nightmares about Hans' previous attempt to kill Elsa in the climax of ''Frozen'', although Anna's nightmares diverge towards at their endings, concluding with Hans succeeding.
* FromDressToDressing: To break an enchantment they encounter, Anna and Hans need to exchange blood. Hans then cuts strips of cloth from his shirt to wrap the wounds.
* HairpinLockpick: Anna uses her hairpins to pick locks.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Hans. He says he wants to destroy the system where the privileged few people have all the power. He says so after [[spoiler: becoming an immortal, immensely powerful god and destroying a means to do so because he's not going to let himself become part of a pantheon.]]
** Elsa.
*** She repeatedly accuses Anna of being easily manipulated by Hans. When Hans arrives to Arendelle [[spoiler:for peace talks,]] Elsa rises to every bait he puts out for her, in spite of her advisor pointing out that Hans is baiting her.
*** In the last chapter, she insists that Hans should be punished for his crimes and states that it's her duty to ensure that her personal feelings don't hold more weight than the common man's. When Anna points out that she [[spoiler: helped a murderer escape]] and thus should be put on trial and executed, Elsa says she'd never do this to her sister.
* GuiltComplex: Anna tends to blame herself for every bad thing that happens around her, even when there's nothing she can do about it and/or it really is someone else's doing. When King Henri dies, she suspects Hans is behind it and decides she's to blame for his and his daughter's deaths. When [[spoiler:her memories about Hans becoming god are restored,]] she says, "ItsAllMyFault" about everything Hans has done to make it happen and everything he's done ever since.
* ImprovisedLockpick: Anna uses a piece of wire included among her adventuring group's supplies to pick the lock on [[spoiler: Hans' cuffs]].
* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed, Anna thinks Hans' punishment for the events of the film is light considering the severity of his crimes. After the second blizzard, [[spoiler: she vouches for him, though, believing he's earned another chance with all of the helpful work he's done. Elsa still thinks he's gotten off too easily. And at the end of the story, ''both'' sisters think that Hans deserves more punishment, but Anna helps him escape execution anyway, believing he can still do at least some good, at least with supervision.]]
* LoveRedeems: ZigZagged. [[spoiler:During their journey to the cave, Hans seems to be falling for Anna and becoming less evil, although still a jerk. Then TheReveal shows that he's still planning on gaining power by any means necessary, taunting Anna about how he'd set off the blizzard as part of a plan to find the apples of Idun and become a god. Afterward, they bond once again and Hans clearly falls in love, but still remains ruthless.]]
* NoSparks: Anna feels herself growing distant from Kristoff, and doesn't feel a connection with any of the men she dances with at the Wallonian wedding.
* PastExperienceNightmare: Anna and Elsa suffer from recurring nightmares of Hans' attack from the climax of the movie.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:Hans becomes this after eating Idunn's apple. He can't be killed, he has {{telekinesis}}, {{teleportation}}, and ElementalPowers, he can undo Elsa's magic, heal other's wounds, stop time, erase memories [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and jam spots from important documents]].]]
* TheQuest: The first part of the story revolves around searching for a way to stop another mysterious blizzard two years after Elsa's coronation.
* SeenItAll: A downplayed version. While still taken aback by the revelation [[spoiler:that she's had a forgotten encounter with a god]], Anna's one of the few people not particularly concerned that Hans got all his information on an artifact that could end the EndlessWinter from a book of legends because she's already seen wilder things turn out to be true. Not every character is so willing to take the chance.
--> Anna tried bringing up trolls and magic and [[{{Snowlem}} snowmen]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} flowers]], but her arguments fell on deaf ears.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The fanfic goes with popular opinion that Rapunzel is Anna and Elsa's cousin.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Anna and Hans actively search for an artifact that can stop the EndlessWinter. Anna also takes on a job at the Arendellian embassy at Corona. Later, [[spoiler:Elsa is on the frontlines of a war, conjuring up snow soldiers and controlling whether the fjord is frozen, depending on whether Arendelle's enemies are trying to cross it by ship or foot. After Hans takes over Arendelle, she and Kristoff search for a way to defeat him. And when he becomes a king, Hans takes an active interest in the ''work'' of ruling and politics, something Anna begins helping him with as she works on a plan to convince him to give up his power.]]
* TheReveal: Act III has a quadruple-whammy. After Anna suspects her memory may have been magically-tampered with again, [[spoiler:Pabbie examines her and reveals she's been given LaserGuidedAmnesia by a ''god''. The restored memory then reveals that god was ''Hans'', who had explained in an EvilGloating session that he had caused the blizzard of Act I in order to convince his brothers to let him out of house arrest to search for a particular magical artifact that could stop the blizzard. Hans had claimed the artifact was a stone with the power to nullify magic. What it ''really'' is a tree bearing Idunn's apples, [[Myth/NorseMythology which according to legend, gave the Norse gods their immortality and power.]]]]
* RoyalBlood: Anna and Hans have to work together to access a cave with a protective spell that requires blood from two separate royal lineages.
* RunningGag: Building on the one from the movie, there's ''still'' a tendency for characters [[AccidentalMisnaming to get Kristoff's name wrong.]] Including Olaf, who still addresses him as "Sven."
* StartingANewLife: [[spoiler: Hans in the end disguises himself as a man called William Schultz and goes to work for the Coronan treasury.]]
* SpitefulSpit: Anna's answer to Hans' WeCanRuleTogether offer is to spit in his face.
* TalkingInYourSleep: Hans mutters in his sleep about his [[BigBrotherBully nasty brother Georg]] when Anna tries to wake him for his turn watching the fire. [[spoiler: And in a later chapter, murmurs "I love you."]]
* WhamEpisode:
** In last chapter of Act II, [[spoiler:Arendelle declares war on Weideland.]]
** Act III has TheReveal [[spoiler:of Hans having become an immortal god]], and ends with [[spoiler:Weideland taking over Arendelle, Elsa on the run with Kristoff and Olaf, and Anna being taken captive.]]

The official summary is "Anna is in the middle of a visit to the Kingdom of Corona when a mysterious blizzard strikes. As the only person with semi-relevant experience, she sets out to find out what - or who - is behind it all. However, there's only one man who seems to hold any answers, and he might be more trouble than he's worth… (Sequel fic, eventual Hanna.)" Notably, this only describes only the first act out of five, but to describe much more would be going into major spoiler territory.
