8	----
9	!!''The Queen of Hearts'' provides examples of:
10
11	* AdaptationNameChange:
12	** The king and queen are called "Jonas" and "Matilda", rather than their canon names of "Adgar" and "Iduna".
13	** Because the fic predates ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'', Rapunzel's parents are called their {{Fan Nickname}}s "Thomas" and "Primrose", not "Frederic" and "Arianna".
14	* AccidentalMisnaming: Elsa refers to one of her stewards named "Marcus" as "Martin". Anna later corrects her. [[spoiler:Subverted when Anna reveals that his name really is "Martin". She was just joking with Elsa, but Elsa took her seriously.]]
15	* TheCameo: Andalasia from ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' and Maldonia from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' are mentioned in passing.
16	* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Matilda]] was raped in jail by [[spoiler:the king of the Southern Isles]]. [[spoiler:Hans]] was born from that, but he was raised with his father.
17	* ChocolateBaby: There's a well known rumor that has spread to several kingdoms that Elsa is one due to the king and queen being unable to produce a heir on their own. Her mother has black hair and her father has red hair, but she is a platinum blonde. She also takes after her mother but not her father. [[spoiler:The rumors are true]].
18	* ColdBloodedTorture: Over twenty years ago, [[spoiler:Matilda]] was imprisoned during a war. She was tortured and [[spoiler:raped, which resulted in [[ChildByRape Hans]].]]
19	* {{Crossover}}: With ''Franchise/{{Tangled}}'', though admittedly TheCameo from the film implies they're in a SharedUniverse.
20	* DarkFic: The topic is more mature than Disney would probably handle, but it really starts getting dark in [[CerebusSyndrome later chapters]].
21	* DrowningMySorrows: After her parents died, Elsa would often drink wine, sometimes even whole bottles.
22	* HalfSiblingAngst: Elsa is distressed at the idea that there's no biological relation towards her and her father. This is extra troubling because, if true, it means that Anna is the rightful heir, not Elsa. After it turns out to be [[spoiler:true]], it's pointed out that [[spoiler:Jonas chose Elsa as the heir, even knowing that it went against the norm]]. Anna refuses because Elsa is the "rightful heir", no matter her genetics.
23	* LockedIntoStrangeness: Elsa's light blonde hair is believed to be due to her powers, but it's just a theory and the rumors draw that into question. [[spoiler:It turns out that she is blonde because of her biological father, Daniel Kristiansen]].
24	* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: The driving question of the story is "Who is Elsa's biological father?". In this case, there's no infidelity or multiple lovers involved. The rumor is that Matilda and Jonas intentionally looked for a donor due to trouble conceiving.
25	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Elsa always wears her crown in public. The day she forgets her crown and opts to have breakfast with Hans' brothers without her crown, it doesn't go unnoticed. Elsa was too exhausted to get dressed up properly.
26	* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
27	** The story teases that Elsa might be related to Rapunzel. [[spoiler:She isn't]].
28	** [[spoiler:Hans]] is [[spoiler:Elsa and Anna's]] half-brother.
29	* SelfMadeOrphan: Elsa believes that she accidentally caused her parents' deaths.
30	* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: The driving question of the story is whether Elsa is biologically King Jonas' daughter. [[spoiler:It turns out that she isn't]].
31	* TomatoInTheMirror: There's a [[OpenSecret rumor]] in Arendelle and its neighbors that Elsa is a ChocolateBaby. Everyone seems to know about this, except for Elsa and her sister Anna. [[spoiler:It turns out the rumor was true, and accidentally started by her biological father's sister]].
