6	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10049201/1/ Legacy]]'' is a completed crossover fanfic set primarily in the ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' and ''Franchise/{{Tangled}}'' universe, but with liberal cameos from the rest of the Disney Animated Universe.
7
8	Not long after the events of ''Frozen'', Elsa and Anna visit their cousin Rapunzel for a state visit. Unfortunately for them, an ancient evil hell-bent on destroying their entire family arrives shortly afterwards to get rid of them once and for all. It's not all bad though, as they soon find out that not only do the three of them have more family than they imagined, but all of them intend to help them fight.

10	----
11
12	!!''Legacy'' provides examples of the following tropes:
13	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ActionGirl: Elsa and Merida are the main examples, but all of the girls get their moment to shine.
14	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* AffablyEvil: Hans has shades of this when he meets with a farmer after his escape, and when he first meets the group in the abandoned tower. However it never lasts.
15	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Neatly averted by Eugene who advises an increasingly incredulous Flynn to just go with it.
16	* AwesomeButImpractical: Elsa destroying the city gates during Operation Marshmallow qualifies, as do the Ice Knights. The first requires several minutes of concentration to do, and the latter requires copious amounts of willing spirits to inhabit them.
17	* BadassArmy: The Ice Knights housing the souls of all the previous Disney princess.
18	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* BigBad: Maleficent. Full stop.
19	* BigNo: Flynn has a moment of this when Maleficent teleports away after infecting Elsa with the conversion effect. It doesn't last long.
20	* BlackAndGreyMorality: Elsa, Anna and Rapunzel discuss whether Maleficent can be redeemed. They decide that since she's gunning to murder both their families and has already conquered Corona killing her is the only option.
21	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* BrainwashedAndCrazy: What the Heartless conversion does to people, also comes with a side-order of virtual indestructibility due to incredible regeneration.
22	* BrickJoke: Early on Eugene mentions to Elsa that in the rowdier bars people have been writing smut about her and Anna following the 'act of true love' that saved her. In the penultimate chapter after beating Maleficent, Anna finds one.
23	* CasualDangerDialogue: Between Eugene being a DeadPanSnarker, and Flynn being a ProfessionalKiller, this happens a fair bit. The most noteworthy example is during a massive battle with an army of Heartless at the docks of Corona, they're discussing whether Flynn should just ask Elsa out or not.
24	%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* CastFromHitPoints: Elsa suffers from this during her running battle with Maleficent, not helped by having had virtually no sleep and having suffered several injuries during the exploration of Kiamo Ko.
25	* CelibateHero:
26	** Played straight with Elsa. A decade's worth of no substantial human contact has her unintentionally flinching when she is touched unexpectedly. The fact that Flynn doesn't seem to trigger this does not go unnoticed by Rapunzel.
27	** Averted with everyone else as Rapunzel has a 'special' night planned for Eugene and Anna and Kristoff get a relationship upgrade on the way home that has Elsa being grateful that Anna's room is nowhere near hers at the palace in Arendelle.
28	* TheChessmaster: It's noticeable on rereading, but [[spoiler:Hades]] has a hand in virtually every time Maleficent stops short of killing the heroes.
29	* ComplexityAddiction: Largely averted. Maleficent's plan is fairly simple, find the trio and kill them, and conversely their plan is pretty much to use the Ice Knights as a battering ram to get them to Maleficent.
30	* ConversationalTroping: Several tropes are name-dropped, such as RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething.
31	* ContinuityNod: Many to the events of both ''Frozen'' and ''Tangled''. Given the extremely wide net thrown by the nature of the crossover it was inevitable.
32	* CueTheSun: Elsa uses her trick from the end of ''Frozen'' to clear the sky after the battle and give them some sunshine after having battled in the pouring rain. She does note however that dispersing the water into the air is only temporary.
33	* CurbStompBattle: Maleficent versus Elsa both times. So much so that Elsa is hesitant to fight her a third time because she feels that Maleficent is treating her like sport.
34	* DarkIsNotEvil: Forms part of a discussion between Eugene and Flynn while they are trying to rescue Kristoff, regarding Flynn's status as a former member of the Order of Assasins.
35	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* DeadpanSnarker: Both Eugene and Anna have their moments.
36	* DemotedToExtra: Kristoff, who is quickly turned into a Heartless and isn't seen again. He's mentioned as having come through the ordeal with nightmares which Anna is helping him through.
37	* {{Doorstopper}}: At over 120,000 words it's the length of a decent novel.
38	* EmpathicEnvironment: The rain during the final battle doesn't seem to add any purpose other than dramatic effect.
39	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* EmptyShell: How the conversion seems to leave people. However it's noted in the epilogue that converted people were aware of what happened and what they did while converted.
40	* EnemyMine: Hans briefly allies himself with Merida to attack Maleficent, but soon turns on Elsa and Anna again.
41	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Hans' brother seems to think their mother will be heartbroken by his behaviour.
42	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* EvenEvilHasStandards: Thoroughly averted with both Hans and Maleficent. Flynn seems to think it applies to his acts as an assassin. Eugene thinks he might be rationalising.
43	* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
44	** Or at least cannot comprehend the bonds of family. Maleficent, who never quite realises that the biggest threat isn't Elsa and her ice-powers, but the combined efforts of Elsa, Rapunzel and Anna to help save each other.
45	** Hans believes ''everyone'' is just as selfish as he is and doesn't understand anything indicating otherwise. He's convinced that Anna was pretending to want to marry him for non-political reasons and that Elsa had somehow tricked her with a façade into [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificing her life]]. He thinks not only that Elsa faked her PowerIncontinence, but that she timed the thaw of the resulting EndlessWinter based on self-interest as part of a plan by Elsa to rule by fear while still having her subjects adore her.
46	---> My lips twitch as a I consider that maybe I shouldn't have tried to double-cross [Maleficent]. It's funny how personal people take that, surely they can see that it's nothing personal. That I'm out for myself just like everyone else is.
47	* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Oh so very averted. Hans spends his time alternately working for, or betraying both Maleficent and Hades, and Hades spends a considerable amount of time working against Maleficent. The only straight example are the brainwashed Heartless who are completely on Maleficent's side.
48	* EvilVsEvil: When Hans betrays Maleficent she spends a fair bit of time torturing him. He responds by stabbing her in the chest.
49	* {{Expy}}: Unintentional, but at least one reviewer thought Flynn's secret identity was from a ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' game due to his many similarities. WordOfGod is that those similarities weren't intentional, but probably were inspired by said character. [[spoiler: It turns out he's from ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' instead.]]
50	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* FirstNameBasis: Done by everyone. Noteable in that Flynn does it because no one has told him that Elsa is a Queen, but played straight in that he just doesn't care about Rapunzel and Eugene's status as Prince and Princess of Corona.
51	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* FlatWhat: Happens on a few occasions.
52	* ForcedToWatch: A horrific example during Anna's JourneyToTheCentreOfTheMind, where she is forced to see not just Elsa's worst nightmares, but the even worse versions caused by Maleficent's power. She is powerless to do anything but watch as Elsa sees every horror she ever imagined happen over and over again.
53	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* FriendshipMoment: Between Flynn and Elsa in Kiamo Ko, and between Eugene and Flynn when they're caught in Corona.
54	* FromBadToWorse: First Kristoff gets converted, then Elsa. During the final battle things start out going well for the girls, but it gets worse quickly.
55	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* GainingTheWillToKill: The girls do this once they realise just what Maleficent is planning to do to them.
56	* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:Hercules]], naturally. He even tells Elsa outright that he's a God and that he can ignore them if he so chooses.
57	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* HeroicResolve: The girls are all over this, but Anna is probably the best at it.
58	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* HopelessBossFight: Elsa's first two encounters with Maleficent.
59	* HumansAreBastards: Averted, virtually everyone besides Hans is shown to be basically decent. Even the Duke of Wessleton appears to be trying to make amends when he runs into Elsa at the Coronan ball.
60	* IdiotBall: Hey Hans, how did you think betraying Maleficent was going to work out for you?
61	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* {{Jerkass}}: Hans, Hans, Hans.
62	* KarmaHoudini: Hans; he vanishes during the final battle and escapes his justice despite having been instrumental as Maleficent's [[TheDragon Dragon]].
63	* LampshadeHanging: All over the place, mostly by Eugene. When Flynn asks if he's the only one weirded out by magic ghost ladies, healing powers and ancient witches, Eugene basically tells him to just go with it.
64	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* LeParkour: Flynn in Kiamo Ko by dint of being an Assassin. Again by both Eugene and Flynn during their stealthy entrance into Corona.
65	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Elsa and Flynn engage in some of this when they first meet. Oddly enough Flynn also has a bit of this dynamic with Eugene when they sneak into Corona.
66	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* LowestCommonDenominator: Eugene thinks this is why people write in-universe porn about Elsa and Anna.
67	* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler:Hercules]] specifically mentions that the Gods are going away, which is what prompted Hades' HeelFaceTurn in order to be allowed home before it happens.
68	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover:
69	** Hoo boy, where to begin. The main protagonists are from ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen\|2013}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', the secondary ones from ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'', and the main antagonists are from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen\|2013}}'' and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
70	** The epilogue throws another huge one in. [[spoiler:Elsa manages to manipulate the snow into water, and comes across the term [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Airbender]] in an old greek manuscript.]]
71	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* MindRape: What the conversion process to Heartless does to you.
72	* MysteriousPast: Flynn, although it eventually becomes a RunningGag that he's promised to tell various people. He just never quite gets round to it. Eugene encourages him to come clean about it with Elsa if he plans to pursue her.
73	* NoodleIncident: A couple. Apparently Rapunzel found out she could still heal during an unspecified incident that almost got Eugene killed after they were married, and Eugene at one point impersonated an admiral. Flynn also mentions a few while trading stories with Eugene.
74	* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Averted twice. First Kristoff is left behind once he's been dragged down by Heartless, then Mushu tells Mulan to leave him behind and help the girls during the battle of Corona, and she does.
75	* NoOntologicalInertia: The conversion to Heartless ceases as soon as Maleficent is defeated. It's hinted that this is because of Maleficent's initial conversion of a farmer when she wasn't at full strength.
76	* OffScreenMomentOfAwesome: Deliberately played with when Eugene and Flynn have a lengthy discussion about how amazing their capture of Kristoff was.
77	* OmniscientMoralityLicense: Averted when Elsa finds out the particulars of how she came by her powers. [[spoiler:It was deliberately caused by Hercules to give them a weapon against Maleficent's return. She slaps him in anger. ]]
78	* OnlySmartPeopleMayPass: Several of the doorways Elsa and Flynn work their way through. They actually met when Flynn tried to blow one up after it frustrated him. Elsa is quick enough to figure out the puzzles.
79	* OpenSecret: Flynn likes Elsa. [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He denies it]], [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone else knows it]], and Elsa has bigger concerns for most of the fic.
80	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's a Disney fic, what did you expect?
81	* RayOfHopeEnding: Following time spent as Heartless, many people are suffering psychological trauma. Kristoff is only getting through it due to Anna's near-constant attention, and both Elsa and Flynn are aware of how they're ignoring the issue in the epilogue.
82	* ReferenceOverdosed: Due to the author being a troper this was inevitable. There are shoutouts galore, and it's even mentioned that every chapter has at least one trope as a main theme.
83	* ResetButton: Thoroughly averted at the end. Corona's capital is trashed and virtually everyone who spent time as a Heartless is traumatised to some degree.
84	* RetiredMonster: Flynn sees himself as one, having deliberately left the assassins when it became too much.
85	* SecretIdentity: Due to Elsa's desire to be seen as a person first and a Royal second, she keeps her royal identity a secret from Flynn. At the end it turns out it's not a big issue.
86	%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* SecretUndergroundPassage: The keep where Maleficent's staff is found.
87	* ShipperOnDeck:
88	** Rapunzel ships Flynn and Elsa. Eugene doesn't, but he's still happy to give Flynn advice.
89	** Elsa ships Anna and Kristoff, but she warns him in one of the early chapters that her support is contingent on him proving that he can handle the stress of being royalty. In the epilogue it's mentioned that Elsa and the entire nation of Arendelle are staunchly behind Anna and Kristoff.
90	* TheStarscream: Hans betrays everyone he works for, and everyone who helps him at any point. It's a point of some frustration that he vanishes in the final battle and isn't mentioned again.
91	* TakeThat: Elsanna shipping is mocked on a couple of occasions in story by everyone save Eugene, who thinks it's hilarious.
92	* TemptingFate: Early on Rapunzel mentions hoping for a quiet visit. Soon enough, they're attacked by evil forces intent on destroying their entire family.
93	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Rapunzel has a brilliant moment of this when she is flung out of a second story window and her perception of time is briefly slowed so she can have a telepathic conversation. She notes that once the conversation she's having is done, she's still going to hit the ground hard and that it IS going to hurt.
94	* TimeForPlanB: Whatever the girls' initial plan for beating Maleficent is it quickly get derailed by her sheer power. Rapunzel comes up with a plan B after her conversation with [[spoiler:Hercules]].
95	%%Needs more context about how much of the plans are revealed.* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Partial credit. The initial attack against Corona goes swimmingly, the assault against Maleficent? Not so much.
96	* WhatTheHellHero: Elsa gives an epic one to [[spoiler:Hercules]] when she finds out that her powers were the result of a BatmanGambit between him and Hades. Noteworthy in that he's perfectly aware of what he's done, but still feels that it was worth it to defeat Maleficent.
97	%%Needs more context.* WouldntHitAGirl: Averted given that the three main characters are females, and the main antagonist is one (sort of).
98	* XanatosSpeedChess: Hades once the main plot kicks off. He messes with Maleficent, nudges Merida and recruits Hans in order to correct problems in the plan he's got in mind.
99	* YouAndWhatArmy: Maleficent says something like this to the girls when they arrive in Corona. Elsa promptly SHOWS her what army.
