- Alternate Universe: A college marching band unrelated!Elsanna universe, to be exact.
- Based on a True Story: The fanfic is somewhat based off of the author's own experience, though not strictly following it.

- Shipper on Deck; Kristoff seems to come off as this with this exchange in Chapter 6:Kristoff: Hey, hey, don't go making any conclusions. Talk to her first. Why bother guessing how she feels when you can just ask?Anna: It's not as easy as it sounds. When I saw her today all I could think of was her closing her eyes and leaning in to kiss me.Kristoff: That's pretty hot.Anna: *hits him with a flurry of punches* UGH you're the absolute worst!
- Team Mom: Elsa considers herself this as the drum major to her "150-person family".
