Anastasia/Quasimodo – We Hit a Wall
is a Non/Disney fanvid by JoleenAlice. It uses the songs "Forgotten September" by Two Steps from Hell and "We Hit A Wall" by Chelsea Wolfe. Despite its name, it isn't a shipping video. Anastasia and Quasimodo are siblings.
Anastasia and Quasimodo Tremaine are two siblings of noble blood. However, they're looked down upon for their unconventional looks. One day, both siblings are invited to the exclusive societies of nobility's offspring. Their peers, however, won't recognize them as one of their own due to the siblings being "too ugly". They bully and mock them. Feeling unwanted, Anastasia and Quasimodo run off together. Everything changes that night when their fairy godmother - who unbeknownst to anyone, was pretending to be their housemaid - grants the pair's wishes to never be teased for their looks again. The two are transformed into more conventionally attractive people (Anastasia from Anastasia and John Rolfe from Pocahontas.) and are finally accepted by their peers, however it comes at a price.
