4	A complete [[{{Continuation}} sequel fic]] to ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' by troper Creator/{{thebandragoness}}.
5
6	Following the events of the movie, Queen Elsa is ready to settle down, assume her duties as the sovereign ruler of Arendelle, and live a normal life, but it turns out some of the villagers aren't too happy with her for the eternal winter. Furthermore, she makes the discovery that now that her ice and snow powers are under control, she has the ability to feel heat. [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes And also that she hates heat.]] And if that weren't enough, a [[OurWightsAreDifferent man-eating wight]] arrives in Arendelle who is mysteriously obsessed with her and Anna.
7
8	[[TwoLinesNoWaiting Meanwhile, her new bodyguard, Fritz, has a crush on Elsa.]] The only problem is he's a loser with no social skills.
9
10	Notably, the story is listed under both the [[{{Dramedy}} "Humor" and "Drama" genres]], and it lives up to this by giving [[SlidingScaleOfSeriousnessVersusSilliness equal focus to both serious drama and lighthearted silliness]], much like the author's [[Fanfic/FightingCrimeSpinningWebs other fanfic]]. One could even accuse it of having MoodWhiplash to some extent, with the humorous parts preventing it from falling into CerebusSyndrome.

13
14	There is a short sequel fic focused on Mary, [[LateArrivalSpoiler a snowwoman Elsa accidentally brought to life during Frozen Wight.]] This fic, ''Anatomy of a Snowwoman'', involves Mary becoming much more introspective than Elsa's other snowmen, causing her to question the nature of her existence and whether or not she really has a place in the world. Meanwhile, a pagan country named [[{{Descriptiveville}} Pagania]] has started worshiping "Elsa the Snow Goddess."

19
20	The author has also completed an {{Interquel}} centered on Fritz, which, given he's a comic relief character, is DenserAndWackier than ''Frozen Wight''. Also, it's a musical (with all the songs being parodies of songs from Frozen and other musicals).

22	Read ''Fritz: The Musical'' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/4149891 here.]]
23
24	The author has also mentioned the strong possibility of doing an Anna-centric sequel to give Anna more focus after having her role as main protagonist usurped by Elsa in the original fic.

32	[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Frozen Wight'']]
33	* TheAlcatraz: There's a prison on an island halfway between the Southern Isles and Arendelle where both nations send their more serious prisoners.
34	* AgentScully: Brandr claims there's no such thing as magic, prompting Elsa and Anna to trade wry glances. [[spoiler:Of course, it's a subversion, as at the time, Brandr is a faerie posing as a human.]]
35	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* AntagonistTitle
36	* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Fritz has a brief moment of this with [[spoiler:Evilsa (Anna's nickname for how Elsa acts after she is brainwashed). But then she actually tries to do it and [[TakenForGranite he turns into an ice statue]].]]
37	* AntiMagic: The ice-eating swords. Negating the powers of cryomancers is [[ManofKryptonite Brandr the Cryomancer-Slayer's]] whole shtick.
38	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In chapter 11, while the wight is about to kill a waitress, her last thoughts are, "What is this ''thing'' eating me?", "How did I get here?" and "Why does his cave have [[StalkerShrine a painting of Princess Anna]]?"
39	* BestServedCold: Daniel froze Emma's head and let her slowly freeze to death from the inside out, the process turning her into a sculpture with Elsa's eternal winter, all as revenge for Olive having moved on to have a family with Adrian.
40	* BigBadEnsemble: Downplayed. At first the wight is set up to be the ManBehindTheMan to Adrian, but [[spoiler:both of them are eventually killed]] and a bigger threat comes in the form of [[spoiler:Mary, an evil snowwoman, and then Brandr the Cryomancer-Slayer. And then the wight comes back and Mary comes back and Brandr comes back.]] However, as the title was changed to "Frozen Wight," [[AntagonistTitle the wight seems to be treated as the most important antagonist]], if only because the whole plot is instigated by his past actions.
41	* BigSisterInstinct: Even more so than the movie, both straight and inverted.
42	** When the rebellion attempts to attack the castle, Elsa appears to be thinking more about Anna's safety and well-being, and once she finds out that Anna has been taken hostage, rushes off to rescue her.
43	** When Elsa's replacement bodyguard Samson is apparently murdered by the wight, Elsa instinctively checks to see that Anna is still alive.
44	** Even after [[spoiler:Elsa's brainwashing, when Brandr gets into the castle intending to stab her,]] Elsa instinctively puts herself in front of Anna to protect her.
45	* BlatantLies: After Anna punches Hans off the boat, he crawls back out, trying to pass off his attempted murders as a misunderstanding.
46	* BluntYes: Mary gives one when Anna angrily asks if she was watching her sleep.
47	* {{Bowdlerise}}: Inverted in the fic, which undos a straight example from the movie by making it an InUniverse example. During "For the First Time In Forever" sequence in the film, Anna jumps in front of a painting called ''The Swing'', or rather, a censored version that omitted a few things from the original, like ThePeepingTom hiding in the bushes. This is observed in this fic when they get a replacement for the new gallery, which does not have the censorship.
48	-->"My childhood is ruined!"
49	* BrainBleach: After seeing the Elsanna paintings, Kristoff's response is "I don't know about you guys, but I need to go rinse my brain in acid now."
50	* BrickJoke:
51	** Turns out Hans really does [[NoseNuggets pick his nose and eat it]].
52	** In "For the First time in Forever," Anna throws a marble bust and it squashes a cake. A few days later, while walking through the castle, Anna and Elsa see Anders cleaning cake residue off of said bust.
53	** When Anna learns Hans's last name is "Westergard," she goes, "So ''that's'' his last name..."
54	** At the start of part 4, Wandering Oaken's Trading Post & Sauna is mentioned as having a "big winter blowout" and has a fully stocked winter department, showing he's more properly prepared (in Anna's first visit, the winter department shelves were practically depleted).
55	** After Brock the Mystical's botched attempt to restore Anna's memories burns down the trolls' forest in chapter 5, he's thrown in a cave where the trolls keep their prisoners. When Anna and Elsa visit the cave in chapter 73 to check on the wight, they also see Brock practicing a harmonica.
56	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Some of Anna's childhood antics include breaking a window, bringing a frog into the castle, and breaking a window by throwing a frog into the castle through it.
57	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: The story summary lists Elsa's problems as "a rebellion, scalding hot chocolate, dirty rumors, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Olaf learning curse words]], illicit paintings, the philosophical ramifications sentient snowmen, a drought, a lovestruck bodyguard, and a man-eating monster."
58	* BuffySpeak: The [[LemonyNarrator narrator]] calls Elsa's French braid an "over-the-shoulder-braid-thingy."
59	* BullyingADragon: When Elsa visits Fritz's mom to tell her that Daniel has wounded Fritz, she shows herself to be rather callous and misogynistic. Even as frost begins spreading over her shop, she still continues to insult Elsa and essentially calls her a tramp. Elsa responds by freezing up the shop so badly that it takes five weeks to thaw, while Fritz's mom is thrown in the jail.
60	* ButtMonkey: Part 4 has a RunningGag of cutting away to Hans being increasingly miserable in prison.
61	* CallForward:
62	** Brandr is always accompanied by his horse Olympus. When he shows up in a flashback all alone, his final line is, "I'm gonna need a horse."
63	** Anders makes warnings to Anna and Elsa's parents how their sheltering of the sisters is making them mentally unhealthy, predicting that Anna will throw herself at the first guy she meets while Elsa is going to have a disastrous loss of control of her powers in public while under pressure.
64	* TheCameo:
65	** In chapter 48, there are some silhouettes that sound suspiciously similar to [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]], [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], and [[Franchise/KingdomHearts the Heartless]]. [[spoiler:And later on, Chernabog is specifically referenced by name.]]
66	** A later draft of the story also adds in a silhouette of [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cypher]].
67	%%Needs more context.**[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel, Eugene, Maximus]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Lefou]] in Chapter 80.]]
68	* CareerEndingInjury: Anders is injured by Elsa's snowmen the first time Mary wreaks havoc, and has to get around with a cane. As a result, Elsa promotes him to be her top advisor at the end of the story (replacing an old-timer who had been making sexist remarks at every meeting) and promotes Kai to replace him as her chief of staff.
69	* CannotKeepASecret: Keeping secrets is not Olaf's greatest strength. It doesn't take long for word of Fritz's crush on Elsa to to get around the castle.
70	-->"Ooh, ooh, I'm great at keeping secrets! Like how I promised Marshmallow I wouldn't tell anyone he wants to wear women's clothing!"
71	* ChangelingTale: Averted. The faerie claims Elsa is a changeling, but he's clearly lying to scare people, and he later freely admits as much to her.
72	* ChocolateOfRomance: Anna suggests Fritz try using Elsa's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood love of chocolate]] to his advantage, but as per usual, things don't go Fritz's way, and he's forced to substitute caramel.
73	* ChekhovsGun:
74	** The wight rants to a squirrel after Adrian drowns that he got the sword from the catacombs of Brandr the Cryomancer-Slayer. [[spoiler:The faerie turns out to be Brandr.]]
75	** The memory incantation that Grand Pabbie uses to restore Anna's memories at the beginning gets used [[spoiler:by Anna to restore Elsa's memories after the wight brainwashed her]].
76	* ClusterFBomb: ''Olaf'', of all people. [[DontExplainTheJoke He overhears the grown-ups using swear words and then starts parroting them like a little kid.]] And the words themselves are pretty mild, just "bitch" and "crap."
77	* ComfortFood: Anna uses this in the form of late night snacking after the rebellion, with Gerda watching over her. Elsa initially disapproves, but when Anna spills out the truth about how terrified she was being held hostage by Adrian, Elsa decides to join in.
78	* ContinuityPorn:
79	** After the book ''Memory and Magic'' came out and contradicted the ''Frozen Wight'' version of Anna restoring her memories, the chapters were edited to be in line with the officially published book's version.
80	** After ''WesternAnimation/OlafsFrozenAdventure'' came out, a time skip was added at the start of chapter 5 to place the main events of the conflict after that story.
81	* CorruptTheCutie: At one point, Olaf overhears Anna swearing and starts mimicking her. And when Elsa tries to teach him not to swear, he innocently rattles off [[LongList "every curse word known to man."]]
82	* CrossoverPunchline: Towards the end, there's a joke that only makes sense if you happen to be familiar with ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', specifically [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gZ0OgA_8G0 a certain song about things no one does like Gaston...]]
83	* CurbStompBattle: In this fic, Elsa's magic can easily take down entire armies in a matter of seconds. It being a year since the events of the eternal winter, she's had practice.
84	** [[spoiler:When the rebellion happens, Elsa is quick to entrap them. Her disloyal Admiral then tries to lure her into the courtyard to be ambushed by archers, whom she thwarts by making an ice-chainmail suit and ice shields.]]
85	** [[spoiler:Elsa learns that her second eternal winter has caused Weselton and the Southern Isles to send a joint armada towards Arendelle. She grabs a few snowmen and freezes the ships in their tracks, which is enough of a warning to convince them to turn back.]]
86	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* DeadpanSnarker: Anders. Since he's been [[OldRetainer in the household for decades]], Elsa lets him get away with it.
87	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** To a lesser extent, Anna, Elsa and Kristoff engage in this.
88	* DarkerAndEdgier: While not the darkest ''Frozen'' fanfic out there, it is still this compared to the movie. There's more sexual innuendo, and the villains Elsa goes up against are even more violently murderous than Hans.
89	* {{Dramedy}}: This fic is designated under the category "Humor/Drama".
90	* DescriptionCut: When Anna and Elsa find more of the peddler's illicit paintings, Elsa considers giving him jail time, but the peddler pleads, "Please, I'll do anything! Anything you want!" Somehow it ends with Anna and Elsa acquiring his entire stock of eccentric paintings.
91	-->'''Gerda:''' Your Majesty! How could you afford so many paintings?
92	-->'''Princess Anna:''' ''[smugly]'' We got a ''great'' discount.
93	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* DirtyCop: The original Admiral of the royal guards.
94	* DiedInIgnorance: ArcVillain Adrian Dale was a former ice harvester who went mad after he [[OutlivingOnesOffspring outlived his daughter Emma]] thanks to her freezing to death when Elsa locked Arendelle in winter. This makes him deranged enough to try to kill Anna so that Elsa won't have any family left. [[spoiler:By the end of his arc, Adrian ends up falling into a freezing lake after trying and failing to kill both sisters, and ultimately decides to let himself drown [[SpitefulSuicide instead of letting Elsa save him]]. After his death, Anna and Elsa find out why he went so mad, and towards the end of the story, find out that Emma's death ''wasn't'' Elsa's doing- it was [[BigBad Daniel]] the [[OurWightsAreDifferent wight]], a former lover of Adrian's wife, who made her [[IllGirl sick]] by freezing her head (purely because he was [[UnbalancedByRivalsKid furious that his old love had married and had a child with someone else]], and Elsa's winter just jump-started her freezing to death. Adrian fell into insanity, tried to commit regicide, and actually ''did'' commit suicide, leaving his wife a widow, over something that [[MisplacedRetribution wasn't even the fault of his queen]], but of his wife's psychotic former boyfriend, and he never lived long enough to find this out!]]
95	* DirtyOldMan: One of the elderly advisors makes a lot of sexist remarks about Elsa. At the end of the story, Elsa has him fired and replaced with Anders. This advisor later tells Fritz he feels the exact same way as him about Elsa.
96	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Elsa finds out that usage of her powers is sometimes a bit...finicky.
97	** While showing Anna how to ice skate, Elsa gets confronted by Adrian over an earlier incident where she re-froze a lake that Kristoff and his ice harvesters were working on. The incident is enough to get Elsa to realize that using her powers so freely in public won't necessarily go over so well with everyone.
98	** When Elsa makes over the castle into a second ice palace, she kinda forgets that others don't have her ability to walk on ice effortlessly. This leaves Anna and Anders constantly slipping and falling as they try to search the castle for her. Once they do find Elsa in her new tower, they make their complaint known, and she's quick to instantly replace all the ice with carpets made from snow.
99	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample *DistractedByTheSexy: Poor, poor Fritz.
100	* {{Doorstopper}}: Roughly 294,000 words, with 74 chapters in 4 parts.
101	* DramaticWind: Elsa, of course, can make freezing cold winds whenever she gets angry. [[spoiler: When the rebels try to storm the castle, the first thing Elsa does to fight back is let loose a big gust of wind to snuff out their torches.]]
102	* DrowningMySorrows: Fritz gets drunk at one point while depressed about the fact that "Elsa was really, really hot and he would never, ever have her."
103	* ExactWords: When Anna and Elsa first meet Olive, and learn the truth about Adrian's daughter Emma, Olive makes a remark about Emma having hair just like Anna's. For the longest time, Anna thinks this means they had similar twin pigtails hairstyles...until, while investigating Daniel, she finds a portrait of Emma and realizes what Olive meant was that Emma had a skunk stripe just like Anna's.
104	* EpicFail: Anna's attempt to have Brock restore her memories. It ends up instead sparking a wildfire that burns down part of the forest before Elsa extinguishes it.
105	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Adrian is persuaded by the wight to lead a rebellion against Elsa because he blames her for the death of his daughter.
106	* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Once Daniel [[MindRape tampers with her memories]], Elsa's ice-dress changes to something darker and more revealing.]]
107	* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Fritz was expecting the Snow Queen to be an older woman who bore more of a resemblance to an evil witch or the character from the original fairy tale, not a kind-hearted 21 year old girl.
108	* {{Expy}}: Olympus for [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Maximus]]. Brandr, while pretending to be a human private eye, tries to act like he's some sort of Literature/SherlockHolmes, even smoking a pipe and acting like Olympus is his [[TheWatson Dr. Watson]].
109	* FailedASpotCheck: Elsa creates a new tower of ice on the castle, but when Anna goes looking for her, she doesn't see the tower until it's pointed out to her.
110	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* TheFairFolk: Brandr and the changelings.
111	* FirstNameBasis: Fritz doesn't actually know Elsa's and Anna's last names... [[LampshadeHanging because the movie never gave them one.]]
112	* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler: The king and queen decide to let up on "conceal, don't feel" and tell Anna the truth... right after they get back from their two-week voyage, which the movie had already established ends in a shipwreck]].
113	* FormulaBreakingEpisode: The opening chapter of part 3 is a flashback involving no characters from the movie, only OCs.
114	* FriendToAllChildren: It's only natural that Olaf is one of these due to his childlike personality. He manages to make friends with a number of village children on Elsa's rink, even comforting them and Anders during the rebellion.
115	* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Mary (albeit brainwashed by the wight at the time)]] comes to the conclusion that the powers of the Snow Queen would make someone a goddess, not a mere sorceress.
116	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* GilliganCut: Done repeatedly. Since this is prose, the "cut" is a line break to indicate an abrupt scene change.
117	* HeartbreakAndIceCream:
118	** Fritz indulges himself in ice cream when he feels rejected by Elsa.
119	** Anna smuggles ice cream into her bedroom when she's grounded by Elsa for botching negotiations with Weselton and then ditching her bodyguard to go see Kristoff despite the imminent wight threat. Her response to being grounded is spend the hours lying in bed pouting, and eventually resorting to noshing on ice cream:
120	--->"No, I'm being crazy. Of course Kristoff loves me! He was the one who wanted to kiss in the first place!"\
121	''Five minutes later:''\
122	"Waaaaaaaaah! He hates me! Kristoff hates me!"\
123	''Ten minutes later:''\
124	"Man, I can't wait to get back together with Kristoff. I bet he'll apologize and it'll be soooo sweet..."\
125	''Twenty:''\
126	"He's found someone else, hasn't he? There's some big, blond beauty out there, and I'll never be able to compete because she's so much fuller than me!"\
127	''Forty:''\
128	"Stupid Kristoff! Who needs him, anyways? I'll find another guy, and he'll be really hot, and we'll make out all the time, right in front of Kristoff, and then he'll be sorry!"\
129	''An hour and twenty minutes later:''\
130	"My life is over... I'm so lonely... Om nom nom nom..."
131	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. Needs more context about why Brock seems dodgy.* HonestJohnsDealership: Brock the Mystical claims he can restore Anna's memories.
132	* HypocriticalHumor:
133	** At one point, Fritz suggests that Elsa might fall for him if he acts quirky and awkward. Anna, being Princess Dorky, scoffs at the idea.
134	** When Kristoff comes across Oaken's vegetable stall-tending brother having a "big winter blowout" in the middle of a storm, he instinctively thinks that the Oaken clan is very unhinged, and then his mental Sven-voice points out that Kristoff pretends his reindeer can talk.
135	* AnIcePerson: In this fic, people born with ice powers are known as "cryomancers." [[spoiler:Part 3 opens with the introduction of one named Daniel in a similar situation to Elsa's, being locked in his room for years, as well as the body of another female cryomancer, Mother Winter, apparently killed by Brandr the Cryomancer-Slayer thousands of years ago. Mother Winter also apparently gathered together a large "family" of cryomancers, who were all killed by Brandr.]] There's also Elsa herself, obviously, and [[spoiler:Mary briefly steals her magic.]]
136	* IcePalace: The one Elsa created in the movie still exists, and is used as a home for Marshmallow and a bunch of her later snowmen. Following the rebellion, she makes the castle in Arendelle a second ice palace as a means to both show the people of Arendelle she's still willing to use her powers, as well as repair the damage from the rebellion mob's torches.
137	* IllBeInMyBunk: Fritz is ordered to burn sketches of Elsa and Anna doing incestuous things. He runs off with "unexpected speed," though his next scene makes it clear he didn't actually have the nerve to do it.
138	* INeverSaidItWasPoison: After the mob rebellion, Elsa figures out from their use of torches that Fritz must have said something to the head of the rebels since only he could've known about her fear of heat. She lets Fritz off the hook once he admits that the rebellion leader got him drunk and loosened his lips.
139	* ItsNotPornItsArt: A street peddler busted for selling some, err, ''controversial'' paintings of the royal sisters tries to justify it as "high-concept art."
140	* JustFriends: Elsa considers Fritz her friend and is [[spoiler:initially]] unaware of his feelings towards her.
141	* KingIncognito: After a visit from Adrian at the courtyard, Anna and Elsa don long hooded cloaks and walk into a tavern in order to find out how Elsa is seen by the public. It doesn't work out too well, as Elsa freaks out at drinking hot chocolate and freezes her mug.
142	* KissOfDeath: [[spoiler: Elsa paralyzes Daniel by giving him a kiss that causes him to freeze from the inside out, since he can't control ice inside of him.]]
143	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* KnightOfCerebus: All the antagonists are this. [[spoiler:Except Brandr, who's actually quite goofy.]]
144	* LargeHam: Brandr puts on a very flamboyant show, whether as his true faerie self or when posing as a human bounty hunter.
145	* LaserGuidedKarma: The Admiral leading the rebellion, after being defeated, still [[BullyingADragon decides to insult Elsa's parents and spit in her face]]. When he's being led to the boat in chains, Anna marches up to him, punches him in the face, and spits in his face.
146	* LastMinuteHookUp: [[spoiler:Fritz and Mary get this. Also, Anders begins a romance with Olive, Adrian's widow.]]
147	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* LemonyNarrator: The narration tends to slip into this for the humorous parts.
148	* LookMaNoPlane: Elsa discovers her magic allows her to ''fly'' by propelling herself with wind.
149	* MaliciousSlander: Anna and Elsa have to deal with malicious rumors about them being involved in an incestuous relationship.
150	* MindRape: [[spoiler:Daniel forces Grand Pabbie to change Elsa's memories, erasing all the happy moments, turning her BrainwashedAndCrazy. Fortunately, Anna is able to undo the brainwashing by remembering the incantation that was used to restore her memories.]]
151	* MindScrew: InUniverse, Elsa resorts to creating {{Modesty Towel}}s out of ice. Anders struggles to understand how she's able to dry herself with the solid form of water.
152	-->"If that made even a little bit of sense, it was a strange foreign kind of sense Anders wanted nothing to do with."
153	%%Needs more context about how this leads to the characters uncovering a bigger plot.* MinorCrimeRevealsMajorPlot: The wight has been targeting random citizens matching Anna's physical description.
154	* MirrorCharacter: At first, Elsa is distrustful of Kristoff, but she warms up to him when she realizes he was a loner who shut people out of his life before Anna came along, just like Elsa was.
155	* MistakenForGay: Fritz initially mistakes Elsa and Anna's relationship for this while eavesdropping. One of the trolls also thinks Elsa's problem is her sexuality and not her ice magic.
156	* ModestyTowel: Elsa's ice clothing abilities aren't limited to dresses and nightgowns. She can make bath towels out of ice, too, which comes in handy when she's about to be caught naked.
157	* MoleInCharge: The reason Adrian's rebellion is able to succeed is because the admiral in charge of the royal guard is in on it, allowing for a bunch of rebels to get hired on when Elsa is beefing up security in response to the wight.
158	* MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere: Following Anna's failed attempt to restore her memories with Brock the Mystical, Kristoff brings Grand Pabbie to the castle for a private meeting with Elsa. Smuggling him into the castle involves Kristoff forcing his way through a crowd and the entry doors whilst holding Grand Pabbie (disguised as a boulder) and saying, "Don't mind me! Just carrying around a [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight completely ordinary rock]]! Nothing to see here..."
159	* MsFanservice: Elsa's natural beauty and her magic mean that she's the subject of multiple guards (and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even one of the maids]]) making passes at her.
160	* MusicalisInterruptus: Done ''three'' times:
161	** "Love Is An Open Door" sung between Fritz and Elsa during Fritz's DreamSequence, interrupted by Elsa screaming in her sleep and waking him up,
162	** "Fixer-Upper" with the lyrics changed to be about Fritz, interrupted by the trolls realizing Elsa is "way out of Fritz's league"
163	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} "The Gospel Truth"]] when Brandr is discussing the early history of the earth, interrupted by Brandr being [[HollywoodToneDeaf terrible at singing]]. This scene is removed in a later draft of the story, though.
164	* MyEyesAreUpHere: Fritz is initially worried that Elsa will say this to him, but she doesn't even pay him enough attention at first to notice his eyes.
165	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
166	** [[spoiler:Elsa's reaction when she thinks she's responsible for the death of Adrian's daughter Emma]].
167	** [[spoiler:Elsa realizes she's been brainwashed after she freezes Kristoff and Sven.]]
168	* MythologyGag: There are a couple references to unused concepts and deleted songs from the movie.
169	** In a flashback to their childhood, the nanny (whose "big behind" was frozen) is said to have left when the staff was reduced, and Anna snorts milk out her nose at one point, both references to "We Know Better", a cut song from the Deluxe Edition of the soundtrack.
170	** The "dead" snowmen in the catacombs of Brandr have tree trunks for arms, just like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElXmRaeWDLQ was originally planned for Marshmallow]].
171	** The [[spoiler:evil mirror corrupting Elsa's mind]] comes from the original ''Literature/TheSnowQueen'' fairy tale. Not to mention the fact that Elsa is ''called'' "the Snow Queen" here.
172	** In chapter 3, a runaway pig somehow gets into the castle thanks to a careless Olaf. It's a nod to a deleted scene called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbfX42STecU Halt, you swine!]]" where Anna befriended a village boy named Anders (whose name supplies the name for Elsa's chief of staff in this work) and his pig got away, and Anna had to chase him down, causing destruction in her wake.
173	** When Fritz is preparing to meet Elsa for the first time, Elsa's nickname as "The Snow Queen" gives him "the mental image of a much older lady, possibly [[PrettyInMink draped in animal furs]] or covered in spiky icicles with maybe a polar bear-driven sleigh. And knowing his luck, she was probably one of those crazy malefic sorceresses [[WeHaveReserves who went through minions like a glutton through meals]], and the instant Fritz made the slightest mistake, she would scream, 'you FOOL! [[YouHaveFailedMe You have FAILED ME!]]' and then freeze him to death." "Draped in animal furs" is a reference to [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvt_early_elsa_1142.jpg early concept art]] from earlier drafts of the movie where Elsa was a straight-up villain and wore a coat made of living ermines.
174	%%Which depiction?** Fritz seemed to expect that Elsa would be more like another depiction the original titular character of ''The Snow Queen'', typically depicted as an older woman roughly in her late 40s/early 50s.
175	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* NarrativeProfanityFilter: Done all the time, with the exception of the b-word during a dramatic moment (and in reference to said moment afterwards).
176	* NoEndorHolocaust: [[spoiler:Subverted quite brutally with the revelation that a little girl froze to death in the eternal winter...]]
177	** [[spoiler:[[DoubleSubverted ...until we learn she was actually killed by Daniel, and not a single person actually died from either of Elsa's eternal winters.]]]]
178	** Also nicely justified when [[spoiler:the second eternal winter happens, as the citizens of Arendelle are better prepared this time, now that they know such events are a possibility.]]
179	* NoNameGiven:
180	** The first Admiral of the Royal Guard never has his name given. In fact, when Anna tries asking Elsa what his name is, she's just greeted with shrugs:
181	--->"So does everyone just call that guy 'the Admiral?' Doesn't he have, like, an actual name?"
182	** Anna and Elsa's parents are just referred to as "the king and queen".[[note]]They actually do have names in some officially published Frozen children's books, but the author chose not to use them to be more like the movie.[[/note]]
183	* NotWhatItLooksLike:
184	** Kristoff has to reassure Elsa that his first encounter with Anna as a child and his encounter with her as an adult were just coincidences and not some conspiracy with the trolls.
185	** Earlier, Fritz is on guard duty outside Elsa's study, while the sisters are inside experimenting with Elsa's powers. Of course, he only hears the noise of furniture moving and parts of their conversation, leading him to think that the sisters are engaging in more....''kinky'' activities. This leads to some scandalous rumors that spread like gossip.
186	* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: The royal council that ruled prior to Elsa's coronation was extremely ineffective and argued all the time. Many of her advisors are also very sexist, and as the story progresses, she is quick to fire those who are not contributing much and threatens to have others replaced.
187	* ObliviousToLove: Elsa gets more and more this way the more obvious Fritz's feelings become and she still doesn't notice them. [[spoiler:Eventually his feelings become a little [[SelectiveObliviousness TOO obvious]]...]]
188	* OneWingedAngel: After being seemingly defeated by [[spoiler:Olaf's warm hug, Mary]] comes back with the appearance of [[spoiler:a wight, as Daniel had previously infused some of his own magic in her.]]
189	* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Whereas in the movie Elsa struggled just to take on the Duke of Weselton's two men, [[TookALevelInBadass now her powers have developed to the point that she can freeze entire armadas with ease]].
190	* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Apparently, in the world of ''Frozen'', ColdIron being the Fair Folk's weakness is just a myth.
191	* OurWightsAreDifferent: The titular wight seems to be more like a frostbitten zombie than the classic European version. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that wights are actually cryomancers whose magic animates their corpse after their death.]]
192	* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: While Fritz is tasked with taking Anna out of the castle to avoid disrupting Elsa's negotiations with Weselton, Anna suddenly has a need to go back to the castle to get something. Fritz tries to dissuade her...except Anna sees him sweating profusely.
193	-->"I know when people are hiding something from me,” said Anna. “I'm not an idiot. But you know what I am? The princess. And as princess, I order this carriage to turn around!"
194	* PaperThinDisguise:
195	** Elsa and Anna disguise themselves as commoners to try and gauge the public's opinion of Elsa. Within the first few seconds, Anna nearly blows their cover but manages to hold on. Then Elsa burns herself, accidentally uses her magic, and flees the tavern.
196	--->'''Bartender:''' Heeeeey, that girl has ice powers! Funny, [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay our queen has the exact same thing]].....
197	** Anna, Elsa and Kristoff quickly recognize an art gallery curator as the street peddler who painted the Elsanna pictures earlier, despite him ditching his overcoat and changing his haircut.
198	* PuffOfLogic: [[spoiler:Mary, being all of Elsa's negative emotions manifested in a snowwoman,]] is defeated by [[spoiler:Olaf, being Elsa's manifested positive emotions, giving her a warm hug, and then Elsa defeats her OneWingedAngel form by simply having the willpower to order her magic to stop animating Mary.]]
199	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* PrecisionFStrike: ''Anna'', of all people. Towards [[spoiler: Elsa, following their first ever big argument.]]
200	* PrecociousCrush: While he's a bit older than most examples, being "barely seventeen," Fritz is childish enough that he still falls under this trope. He keeps an Elsa-teddy bear, for one thing. [[spoiler:Plus Elsa cites his age as one of the reasons she won't date him.]]
201	* PsychoExGirlfriend: Anna calls [[spoiler:Mary]] Elsa's "crazy ex."
202	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Elsa seems to be trying to become this trope.
203	* RememberTheNewGuy: Anders is an OC yet has been on the staff since before Elsa was born.
204	* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Charlotte the maid is introduced, it looks very much like she's being set up as Fritz's eventual love interest for when he gets over Elsa... but just as Fritz himself is starting to consider this, he finds out she's married.]]
205	* RightBehindMe: Anna lampshades this trope after laughing about how an "Official Ice Master" isn't really a thing, in front of Kristoff, stopping when she sees Elsa's face and saying ""He's standing right behind me, isn't he?" It's a downplayed example; she didn't mean it in a bad way, and he realizes this, but she rushes to make sure she didn't hurt his feelings.
206	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Elsa participates in Arendelle's politics while also balancing more personal issues.
207	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* SarcasmBlind: Mary has a brief moment of this.
208	* SailorEarth: To go along with Marshmallow, Elsa creates two more monstrous snowmen named Cloud and Cottonball.
209	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Fritz and Samson. To a lesser extent, Fritz and Kristoff.
210	* SexDressed: Anna and Kristoff get caught in the act by Elsa on at least two occasions. She even conjures up snowbirds to spy on them.
211	* ShipperOnDeck: Once Anna learns about Fritz's crush on Elsa, she tries her best to help Fritz express himself, much to Elsa's consternation.
212	* ShooOutTheClowns: Fritz is twice knocked unconscious before battle scenes, and [[spoiler:he's turned into an ice-statue right before the climax of part 4]]. Averted by Olaf, who comforts Anders and some visiting children during the first battle scene.
213	* ShotgunWedding: Anders mentions that Anna and Elsa's parents married because their father got his wife knocked up with Elsa.
214	* ShoutOut: On top of the usual name-drops of other fictional Disney countries like [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Corona]], this fanfic also has a few nods to ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' and ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''.
215	** At one point, a merchant screams, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender "MY CABBAGES!"]]
216	** Anna's collection of trashy romance books includes ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Divorce in Dunbroch]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Adultery in Agrabah]]'', and ''[[Series/OnceUponATime Seduction in Storybrooke]]''.
217	** Right before the angry mob attacks the castle, Anders sees Elsa being friendly to some visiting children on her courtyard ice rink and comments that despite the fact that it's hot out, she doesn't seem bothered by the heat, like it's psychosomatic. He then recalls a friend of his who had a pronounced limp even though his leg was perfectly fine, suggesting it was a psychosomatic injury. Later, this friend's name is revealed as [[Series/{{Sherlock}} "John."]]
218	** After being freed from Brandr's orb, Olaf is limbless and trips over, shouting, "I've fallen and I can't get up," a phrase popularized by the Life Alert commercials.
219	** Marshmallow gives Brandr a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, then says "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 Puny Fae]]."
220	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Earlier drafts originally had Grand Pabbie being killed by the wight after being forced to brainwash Elsa. Later, the story was revised to have him live, albeit hobbling on a cane.
221	* StalkerShrine: The wight has a painting of Anna in his cave. When he kills the painter commissioned to paint the sisters' portraits, he also deliberately destroys several paintings but leaves the painter's new portrait of Elsa intact as a message to Elsa.
222	* StormingTheCastle: [[spoiler:An angry mob incited by Adrian tries to storm the castle with torches and pitchforks. They manage to damage large portions of the castle before Elsa is able to subdue them singlehandedly.]]
223	* StuffedIntoATrashCan: When [[spoiler:Fritz gets frozen solid]], Marshmallow tries to stuff him into a mop closet.
224	* TakeThat:
225	** The fanfic loves to make fun of various shipper fandoms.
226	*** Chapter 18 contains an extremely thinly-veiled one to the Elsanna shippers, when some guards capture a street artist who has been trying to sell some illicit paintings of the royal sisters (even trying to sell to Kristoff). The sisters find them disgusting.
227	*** Then it turns out the peddler is actually the curator of a local art gallery, and brother to the deceased court painter that had been hired to do Elsa's and Anna's new portraits, only to be killed by the wight. And he's made paintings depicting Elsa getting it on with Hans.
228	* TakeOurWordForIt: The Elsanna paintings are not explicitly described as such, but everyone's reactions makes it clear enough.
229	* ThereAreNoCoincidences: At one point, Elsa begins to act suspicious of Kristoff because what are the odds Anna just ''happened'' to run into a boy raised by the trolls who saved her life? [[spoiler:Turns out Mary's brainwashing is making Elsa paranoid.]]
230	* AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler:The Admiral's rebellion has been thwarted and he is being led to the prison ship in chains. Anna and Elsa show up, and Anna promptly makes a beeline for the admiral and punches the daylights out of him.]]
231	* ThroneMadeOfX: Whenever Elsa meets with her advisors, she conjures up her own chair out of ice.
232	* TimeSkip: The first four chapters take place in the weeks immediately after Elsa's eternal winter in ''Frozen''. Chapter 5 skips ahead to the following spring, after the events of ''WesternAnimation/OlafsFrozenAdventure''.
233	* ThouShaltNotKill: Like in the movie, Elsa is tempted to kill her enemies, but doesn't. [[spoiler:She does (seemingly) kill the wight once she's trapped him in ice, but this is implied to be due to Mary's influence on her. Later on, when Elsa's in her right mind with the wight once again at her mercy, she spares him.]]
234	* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Part 2 has a flashback running concurrent with the main plot, mostly to reiterate that Elsa and Anna had bad childhoods (expanding on things that "Do You Want to a Build a Snowman?" hinted at), and relapsing into that situation would be undesirable. [[spoiler:And to show the creation of Mary.]]
235	* UsedToBeASweetKid: Adrian. Even before the rebellion, Kristoff comments that he used to be as friendly and jovial as his fellow ice harvesters, not knowing about the death of his daughter Emma.
236	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Oaken's relatives make brief appearances and, naturally, they look and sound exactly like him.
237	* WakingUpElsewhere: Subverted with Elsa's transformation of the castle. Anna is awoken by a sudden chill. She wakes up and finds every surface of her bedroom covered in ice. For a moment, Anna thinks she's been transported to Elsa's ice palace on the North Mountain. It takes her a few moments to realize that she's still in her own bedroom and Elsa just gave the castle an overnight makeover.
238	* WeNeedADistraction: When Elsa needs to have negotiations with the Duke of Weselton, she has Fritz take Anna to an art exhibition so she won't cross paths with the Duke. Unfortunately, Anna realizes she's forgotten something while in the carriage, and when trying to get Fritz to turn back, he keeps making up excuses which she sees right through. So she pulls rank to turn the carriage around, returns to the castle, storms into Elsa's meeting and punches the Duke out.
239	* WillTheyOrWontThey: Fritz's plotline becomes this once Elsa finally learns his name and feels some empathy for him.
240	* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Anna wants to go to Brock the Mystical so her memories can be restored. Elsa refuses, because to her, Brock is as much of a stranger to Anna as Hans was. Anna says the line, and of course, Brock botches things, instead burning down part of the forest.
241	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Marshmallow wants to wear women's clothing. Olaf has promised to keep it a secret.
242	* WouldHurtAChild: The wight tries to eat Olaf on sight because he thought he was a child. Also, [[spoiler:Brandr]] brags about killing a cryomancer child to provoke Elsa.
243	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* {{Yandere}}: Elsa is lucky enough to have ''two'' villains act this way towards her, the wight and [[spoiler:Mary.]]
244	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Brandr's fate. The changelings, seeing that the humans have rejected Brandr's ideology and are more willing to fight to keep their magic, drag him back to the otherworld and feed him to [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]]]].
245	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ZergRush: [[spoiler:The magic-hating mob tries this on Elsa. It... doesn't end well for them.]]
246	[[/folder]]
247
248	[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Anatomy of a Snowwoman'']]
249	* AbusiveParents: Fritz's mother. Apparently, she's also very abusive to the guards at the jail she's locked up in, to the point that Elsa basically gave her a life sentence.
250	* AccidentalPervert: Olaf has to be part of the sex education talk because, as Elsa claims, he's been caught wandering into the maids' changing rooms on too many occasions.
251	* AdultsAreUseless: When dealing with Sussebassen, Anna lampshades how in so many books, the authorities are useless and it's always a group of teenagers who catch the bad guy.
252	* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Mary's body is shattered and dropped down a chasm in the middle of the wilderness.]]
253	* BigWhat: Elsa's reaction to the discovery that the Paganian religious books refer to Anna as her "sister-wife".
254	* BilingualBonus: In their first scene, the Paganians in the church are seen singing a hymn. It's pretty easy to notice that it's "Let It Go" in Latin.
255	* BodyguardCrush: Anna once had a crush on one guard thrice her age back when she was an early teen. He politely rejected her, told her parents, and they sat her down for the big talk.
256	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Olaf and the other snowmen are brainwashed by Sussebassen into rebelling against Elsa.]]
257	* FluffyTheTerrible: Sussebassen the KillerRabbit. His name is actually [[BilingualBonus a Norwegian term of endearment]]. It's basically an overly sugary nickname akin to "sweetie pie."
258	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* HeroicBSOD: Mary suffers one towards the end.
259	* InterspeciesRomance:
260	** Mary (snowman) and Fritz (human).
261	** Kristoff, a human, apparently once dated a troll.
262	* InterruptedIntimacy: Mary accidentally walks in on Anna and Kristoff in the midst of making love. She tries to replicate this with Fritz, only to leave Fritz completely catatonic. Elsa is forced to gather everyone together for a talk on sexual education.
263	* NoNameGiven: Nobody knows the High Priest of Pagania's name. The Archbishop never bothered to ask.
264	* PrecociousCrush: Anna mentions that she had a crush on a guard three times her age when she was a little girl, and "there might have been a heartfelt declaration of love involved."
265	* RetailRiot: As part of an early cutaway gag where people are rioting as they try to get their hands on limited Elsa dolls
266	* TakeThat: Just like the original ''Frozen Wight'' had scenes that mocked Elsa / Anna shippers and Hans / Elsa shippers, Pagania's Elsa-centric religion mocks those shippers. Pagania's books also jab at people who like to ship Elsa with Jack Frost from ''Rise of the Guardians'', or bestow Anna with fire powers.
267	* UnwantedFalseFaith: Elsa feels this way about the Paganians worshiping her. Overlaps with AGodIAmNot considering how powerful Elsa is.
268	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: A man harasses Mary because of the snowmen attacking the village in ''Frozen Wight''. When Fritz tries to defend Mary, the man hits him. This provokes Mary into giving the man a full beatdown.
269	[[/folder]]

271	[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Fritzy Fever'']]
272	* {{Prequel}}: Takes place before "Frozen Fever" and sets up the circumstances that lead to Elsa having a cold in it.
273	* SickEpisode: This installment revolves around Fritz having a cold.
274	* SneezeOfDoom: Fritz's sneeze [[spoiler:presumably gives Elsa her cold, thus setting off the events of Frozen Fever.]]
275	* WorkingThroughTheCold: Fritz resolves to do this. However, given his and Mary's absence from Frozen Fever (due to, you know, being fanfic characters), it can be assumed he eventually gave up and missed Anna's birthday.
276	[[/folder]]
277
278	[[folder:Tropes that apply to ''Fritz: The Musical'']]
279
280	* ContinuityNod: Kristoff's troll ex-girlfriend from ''Anatomy of a Snowwoman'' is mentioned again.
281	* {{Crossover}}: [[spoiler:While the other fics had cameos from other Disney characters, this one features a full-on appearance from Rapunzel and Eugene as regular characters.]]
282	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: For the musical numbers, the narration mentions "background music" and "musical time elapses."
283	* LovePotion: [[spoiler:Provides the main conflict when Fritz tries to use it on Elsa, but it ends up causing her and Eugene to fall for each other instead. HilarityEnsues.]]
284	* MusicalWorldHypothesis: In the original movie, characters break into song all the time. In ''Frozen Wight'', characters only break into song a couple times as brief jokes. ''Anatomy of a Snowwoman'' features no songs at all. And then this fic is back to being a full-on musical, with all the songs being parodies of songs from other musicals.
285	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Fritz has a little mishap involving an attractive woman in Oaken's sauna.
