1''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2103750/chapters/4587252 Love Worth Waiting For]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' {{crossover}} fic. It's set in a "soulmate"/"soulmark" AU.
2
3Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate on their hand. Everyone but Elsa, at least. Elsa was born with scribbles on her hand. She grew up believing she didn't have a soulmate, but that changed when an overseas traveler arrived in Arendelle. It turns out that Elsa does have someone's name on her hand after all: Fa Mulan, a legendary hero in China.

5Despite being a soulmark AlternateUniverse fic, ''Love Worth Waiting For'' doesn't change much about the narrative of ''Frozen'' or ''Mulan''. It just adds in soulmarks into the work's universes.

9
10* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Elsa is ''even more'' troubled than in canon because she not only does she have [[AnIcePerson unusual ice powers]], but she also grew up thinking she was unlovable because she had a "gibberish" soulmark.
11* AlternateUniverseFic: Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate on their hand. This doesn't change much for ''Frozen'''s story, though there are some alterations. For example, Elsa began wearing gloves as a baby, not a seven-year old, to hide her "weird" markings.
12* AmbiguouslyChristian: Elsa was given a baptismal at three months. What religion she was baptised in isn't mentioned, as well as what denomination if it was a Christian baptism.
13* BewareTheNiceOnes: Elsa is a kind and enlightened ruler, and rightfully beloved by her people. She also can and will, with eagerness, [[spoiler:slaughter fleets which attempt to attack her kingdom.]]
14* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Little Brother's soulmate is [[spoiler:Peter Pan]].
15* {{Crossover}}: Between ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}''. There's also some [[spoiler:''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' later on]].
16* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Everyone is expected to have a soulmate. Much of their life revolves around this. To not have a soulmate is very unusual and tragic.
17* LanguageBarrier: Elsa's first language is English while Mulan's is Mandarin. Elsa knows a little Mandarin from reading a book based off Mulan's story, while Mulan learned English on her journey to meet Elsa, but there's still some difficulties with communication. They are trying their best though.
18* MistakenForDying: When Elsa was an infant her parents worried she wouldn't live to adulthood. She was unusually pale, quiet, and cold for a baby.
19* MyBloodRunsHot: Inverted. Elsa is cold to the touch.
20* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Mulan's youngest recruit is a young boy that is not even a teenager. Everyone just calls him "Little Brother" (later "Little Hook").
21* PrincessesRule: Though she had regents, Elsa rarely needed their help between the three years before she was crowned queen.
22* SettingUpdate: The story is predominantly a ''Frozen'' one, so ''Mulan'''s setting has been changed. It takes place in the 1800s [[AmbiguousTimePeriod at earliest]].
23* SoulmateAUFic: Almost everyone is born with their romantic soulmate's name on their hand.
