''Frozen: A Dark Retelling'' is a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' fanfic that literally retells the story DarkerAndEdgier and from a more realistic point of view. Psychological damage from years of isolation is more explicitly shown, and dangerous situations like Anna falling into a creek in freezing weather are dealt with the seriousness you'd expect. Basically, it's what happens when Frozen has realistic consequences. It will eventually lead to an original trilogy set in this universe, as opposed to ''Frozen'''s.
