Elsanna Week 2018: Day 1 “Love at first sight”

A/N: First of all, I’m so sorry for being a couple of days behind, but I’ve been really complicated since Sunday. Actually, I started writing this on Sunday, but I couldn’t finish it until today. So, I’ll try to catch up. Well, when I first read about the elsanna week, I thought about writing connected drabbles set in the canonverse and dealing with a romantic relationship. I still have that story in mind, but it requires much more planning. So,  I decided to draw connected scenes set in a modern AU without text, but since I’m in the middle of a deadline of digitally inking 14 drawings, I had to give up the idea (for now). Writing is easier and faster than drawing for me, so I started developing the current story. It’s set in a modern AU, and they aren’t sisters. This story is heavily influenced by manga and anime, mainly by yuri manga. Each prompt will be a chapter. And this will be an experiment, since I’ve planned to transform it into a multi-chapter story, filling in the gaps of the prompts.

Word count: 819

Setting: Modern AU. Unrelated elsanna.

The first day of school. She was the new transfer student at this freaking elitist private school, and she was getting late. Anna never was a morning person, and with of all the hustle of moving to a new city, she was tired, actually, she was exhausted. Why on earth her grandfather, who she had never seen in her entire life, suddenly wanted the best for her and her mom? Maybe it was his way to make up for fifteen years of having banned her daughter from the family, but at least he could have the kindness of getting them a car to go to that damned distant school.

Mom had to work, so she woke up early and left. Because working at her father’s company was a hell lot of pressure and the pressure was even worse if she was planning to reconnect with her strict father who had kicked her ass out of the family so many years ago. Anna could understand all the issues her mother was going through. Sometimes she felt guilty for her mother’s family situation. If she wouldn’t be born, probably nothing had happened. Anyway, all those worries didn’t change the fact she was getting late to school on her first day.

She had to take the bus which left her in the middle of nowhere and then using her phone’s GPS she localized the school which was uphill. Who was insane enough to build a school on a hill? So, she ran as fast as she could; her uniform was tight and uncomfortable. She took her shirt out of her skirt, otherwise, she would wind up suffocated.

Finally, she reached the huge and imposing gates of the building. Thankfully they were still opened. She looked around and let out a whistle at her amazement. The place looked as a castle from a fairy tale; a welcoming yard extended before her eyes. It bloomed with the green from the trees and the colourful mixture of flowers. The green was interrupted by the blue navy sea of girls in uniform who were leading their march to the main building.

Anna was so lost in the sight she had before that she hadn’t entered yet. The ringing bell announcing the beginning of classes woke her up from her daydreaming. The doors started closing with an electronic buzz, and then Anna realized she was about to get out if she didn’t hurry.

“Oh, no, no, wait!” she pleaded sliding just in time before the doors shut closed.

Once inside the yard, she kept running only focused on getting in time to her classroom which she had no idea where it was. She wasn’t aware of the eyes from the surrounding girls set on her, and she didn’t hear when someone yelled: “Beware!”. It was too late. She had bumped into someone and then she was sprawled on the floor. Her uniform was a mess, her skirt barely covering her underwear, and the horde of girls around her whispering and watching her with a very disapproving look.

“Who is she?”

“She must be new.”

“She ran into the president!”

“The Ice Queen is going to kill her.”

Anna was on the verge of crying when she looked up and found a pair of blue eyes piercing her soul. For a moment, she thought she was in the presence of a fairy or a goddess. The girl in front of her didn’t show any trace of emotion on her pale face that looked more like a sculpture. By the way, a beautiful one. Her blonde mane was tied into a braid that shimmered against the sun. Then, the girl’s lips curved into what seemed to be a faint smile and a light pink tint covered her cheeks.

“Are you all right?”

“Who? Me?” Anna look around to see if there was someone else to whom this girl was talking to.

“Of course, you’re the one on the floor.” The girl smiled shyly, and with a swift movement, she hid her lips with her hand. The other girls around started laughing, but a single glare from her was enough to keep them silent. Then, she lent her hand to Anna to help her get up.

Anna blushed and hesitated for a moment. She took the girl’s hand in hers and stood up.

“I’m Elsa. Elsa Frost.”

“I’m Anna Summers.”

“Welcome to Arendelle School, Anna.”

They were still holding hands, and Anna was feeling something she never had felt before in her life. She didn’t know how to call it, or if it even had a name. The way Elsa looked at her, her sweet voice, and the soft touch of her hand, all made her felt like she had butterflies fluttering in her stomach. It was love at first sight, but she couldn’t know it because she had never been in love before.

Fic writer review [Or a fic writer tag game if you prefer]

I was tagged by @naralanis and I can already see her grin all the way from where I am xd Thank you, dear, for the tag, let’s see what are my answers, shall we.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

*bursts out laughing* Adding both pseuds I have… 535 according to the account info but by counting them all I’m reaching 541 so I’m guessing it’s counting some drafts I need to re-find.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

I seriously hated you for this one xd I was going to do it by hand by I decided one-third there that I value my mental stability a little bit more xd according to the stats page back at a03 that number would be 1257884. It may be wrong. I think there should be a few more numbers up there but the majority of my works are one-shots so *shrugs* There’s also the fact that counting my ao3 things only is shaving off like half of it Xd Anyway, can we laugh at the fact that I’m a pain in the ass and that I’ve written a lot? More than I should have, that’s for sure

3. How many fandoms have you written for?

Trick question because I haven’t crossposted everything I wrote back in ffnet and I actually erased some fics from my account back there so the numbers are a little blurry there.

When I had the entirety of my work posted both in ffnet and a03 I had written for: Twilight (Bella/Alice) Glee (Faberry and there were a couple Pezberry and I don’t fucking remember the pairing name for Santana and Quinn), Harry Potter (Hermione/Ginny, Hermione/Narcissa, Hermione/Bellatrix) OUAT (SwanQueen and several oneshots focusing on the mad hatter and the blue fairy solely back at ffnet that were written in Spanish and never translated), I actually had a veeeery old au prompt of Frozen (Elsanna in where I wrote them as non sibilings), Rizzoli and Isles (Rizzles), Dishonored 2 (Emily Kaldwin/Alexi Mayhew), Lara Croft and Wonder Woman, Supergirl (SuperCorp/Supercat) I had a 100 one -or maybe two??- (Clexa), The Shannara Chronicles (Amberle/Eretreia [Or Princess Rover], Rwby [Blake Belladona/Yang], The Worst Witch (Hecate Hardbroom and Pippa Pentangle), The Half of it, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Madam Satan/Zelda Spellman) and… I think that’s it(?) I may be forgetting some but probably nothing important if I’m not remembering it lol.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos?

Ah, we are going to go there, uh? Xd My works are not the kudos and comment getting type Xd So I was quite surprised when I went to check this.

1: Cracked it I wrote this one back in 2017, it was a prompt done by an anon: Lena is nerding with one of her projects at home, mumbling mostly to herself because she’s stuck and Kara casually mentions how to solve the problem like it’s nothing. I really had some fun with this. It was back when some us, SQeeners were fully doing the jump between OUAT and SuperGirl (I mean, there had already been some crossover as for fandom is related but this when the girls were actually getting their conjoined voice within the fandom)

2: Dateless I honestly needed to check what this one was about but I think I can see why this one shot has the amount of kudos it has. It’s a short and sweet idea and responds to the Teachers Au that went SO well with SQ. Everyone thinks they hate each other and try to set them up with other people whilst they, in truth, are dating. I don’t remember if I wrote them as married rather than dating but despite being from 2017 as well is one cheeky enough to be cool Xd I probably would edit some lines now *shudders*

3: After you I truly didn’t expect this one to be top 3. Makes me think of a lot of things, if I’m being honest Xd. After you was a one shot written almost feverishly as an answer to the fabulous drawings that Sejic did of both Lara Croft and Wonder Woman back at 2018 or something. It’s just Lara and Diana being himbos but not at all with each other.

4: How about… How about is one I remember perfectly, it was my answer to the ending of the Half of it film. I had SOME thoughts about it, let’s just stop there Xd I really liked the film itself but I think and I thought at the time that my response to wishing for a final scene at the very end of the credits responds to me being in a different personal moment than the characters. I really wanted to explore my feelings about it and so I wrote about them finding each other again after some time passes. It was also something I wrote after quite the hiatus so I took it as something I could write about without focusing too much on the why.

5: Come to me

Ahh, SuperCorp Xd I remember this one actually. A friend of mine and I were talking about descriptions, and she mentioned quite off-handedly how she wanted a fic in where Kara’s back was described. I complied… more or less.

Fun tidbit, despite the big volume of my work is obviously set in ouat there’s only 1 SQ fic there as you can see, the others are either SuperCorp or the random one shots I created for Wonderwoman/Lara Croft and The half of it. *sighs in deep thought* I’m also not going to look too much into how almost all of the fics were posted and written back in 2017. Nope, not at all.

*Small voice screaming you peaked in 2017 and everything else is garbage jumps back and forth*

5. Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?

I tend to always respond, yup. I truly value comments. I might have gone for spells of time in where I didn’t have the mental capacity to check in old fics because I truly didn’t know what to answer but I treasure every single comment and you all who comment know that I can start to ramble in the answers xd -sorry about that- I really really REALLY love interaction.

6. A fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending:

Ok, Nara, come on, this one is a catch for me. I’ve written angst in far too many fics to remember the angstiest one :P I have the most recent one, though, that is the easy one to think about: Goodbye.Written for @delirious-comfort. I’m just going to say “Kisses with their last dying breath” as an idea of what awaits inside but I’ve written about death and loss and angst quite a lot. There were some I wrote back to SQ with Regina needing to kill Emma during the Dark Swan arc that, to this day, I still love and some others in where Regina is the one that dies, again and again, trapped by magic while Emma watches. I have the loss in mental destruction form and… I REALLY like my angst y’know xd

7. Do you write crossovers?

Not counting Lara and Wonder Woman not really! I think it comes from the fact that I loooove worldbuilding as a whole and some pairings would require all my focus into making the world perfect which in turn would make me self conscious on the OOCness of it all.

8. Ever received hate on a fic?

*snorts* I’ve received hate due to the pairing I’ve written about, how I’ve written about it, the amount I’ve written, how slow or quick I can be, the usage of some tropes, the lack of usage of those same tropes… Let’s just go with: yuuuup.

9. Do you write smut?

I’ve written smut, yeah! But I can already see the pointed looks of some so let’s elaborate Xd I write smut when asked and sometimes when not asked but there’s a part of me I like to call a terrible tease that prefers writing the beginning of a scene, taunt it, focus on what happens before the sex scene per se as I find it more enjoyable to write. The process of escalation is always the best for me to see what can I do it by using both dialogue and descriptors tbh, so I tend to tease more than show.

9. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

A few weeks ago I’d have said: Maybe(?) But trying to follow the trail of some other fics that had been stolen from some friends -I think it was me trying to find more about the page that stole something from your Nara!- I found some pages in where my fics had been reposted. In some it was stated that the person posting the fic wasn’t the author but I had never been contacted in order to see if I’d say yes to such a thing and in some others the page was locked up but I could still see someone was pretending to be the author. I did the thing and got some of those down.

Pointed note: Ask me if you want to post or translate or anything. I will look into you and answer you if you seem honest about the thing. But despite every joke and self-deprecating comment those 500 and then some fics represent MY time so very kindly I say fuck off to those who wish to steal from me and if I catch you… you don’t really want to see me angry, trust me.

10. Ever had a fic translated?

I’ve given permission to some, yeah, but never heard it back from them so I’m guessing it didn’t stick.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic?

I’ve written series alongside other authors as @stregaomega for example. And some others that are unpublished -looking at you @carsonnieve - I’ve also done collabs… but fics co-written in the sense of two authors same chapters I don’t have anything posted I’m afraid :P

13. All-time favourite ship?

*snorts*, I guess the obvious answer is SQ uh? And I do think they were the ones that allowed me to read and write SO much. The one I feel more strongly about, however, is Bering and Wells from Warehouse 13.

14. WIP you want to finish, but don’t think you ever will?

All of them counts as a valid answer? But if I only could finish one that would be Arcadia. With A forgotten Promise second and the one I did as an Assassins Creed AU third. (I don’t remember the name so there’s no link, sorry xd)

15. Writing strengths?

Uhhhh, you REALLY want me to say that? I don’t fucking know!! To me everything I write is garbage. I always try to go for the feelings so I guess. Dunno xd I’ve been told I’m good at worldbuilding and to be honest is what I enjoy the most.

16. Writing weaknesses?

Everything Xd Pacing? What I hate the most sometimes is dialogue, I would count it as a weakness but I’m always far too focused on description rather than dialogue. I don’t think it’s a bad thing per se but it’s something that I don’t do as much.

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I’m conflicted. Always. Majorly because I think that having bilingual characters in fanfiction is portrayed and expected in a way that I don’t feel it’s honest with how bilingual people -us- talk. So if I go by what I know I do I think it’s not what readers hope to see when it comes to that and if I go for how canonically is hoped to be found I don’t think it’s logical. But that’s me and my overthinking Xd If I have the option I like to do it.

18. First fandom you ever wrote for?

Belice! Or Bella/Alice. Worst first fic ever but oh, well, I’m always saying that :P

19. What’s your fav fic you’ve written so far?

Uhh… Don’t make me do this XD Agh, I don’t know. I’ve always been very vocal about Metallic Ink because I let myself enjoy the process of creating a magic system almost out of zero and that was fun. Despite hating some of the writing process and that I’d do it differently now I think I’m going to stick with that answer. Or anything that had any steampunk-based undertone. To be honest I like more thinking of concepts, I had one in where Emma was a thief and it involved the robbery of a ring that was Regina’s one way ticket to freedom I then later repurposed that I adored thinking about so let’s go with…. Yeah, I love having the option of changing things up a little and focus on how characters would fit in different aesthetics for this one Xd

Annnd… these are four pages, gods. I’m just going to tag @waknatious @carsonnieve @stregaomega here and see what they do- Enjoy the questionnaire ladies :P

February Contest submission #2! Presenting: The Songs That Bind Us

It is finally here, today is the day Elsa has been waiting for over a year. She is finally able to see Sabaton live in San Francisco, not only that, but she is bringing her sister with her. It took quite a bit of time to get the money to fly from Anchorage to San Francisco, but it was worth it to both girls. “Hey, are you done narrating useless info, or are you actually going to write what is needed?” Elsa complained. However as a narrator, I am not supposed to acknowledge that I am bei-“Shut up! I can’t listen to these songs with you yapping every half a second!” Sigh, currently it is the opening band that is playing, and they are currently half way through the final song. Unfortunately, since this is my world, I shall decide to skip over this band and go straight to the main attraction. Sabaton comes on stage and is preforming their opening song The Last Stand, when Elsa makes the biggest decision of her life, she turns to Anna and-“Anna, I know people look down on lesbians,” even if its 2018 “but, I love you and can’t see my life without you in it. Anna Arendale, will you marry me?” Everyone in attendance is watching and wanting to hear the response, which should be obvious but no one seems to care, lousy jerks. “Yes I’ll marry you. Even though the narrator is being a complete prick to everyone, even the readers. Why are you guys still reading this, don’t you have more important things to do than read two sisters getting married at a concert?” Nope. Every concert goer cheers, as the band tells everyone what happened. When the concert ends, Elsa and Anna get called backstage to talk face to face with the lead singer, Joakim Broden, and he congratulates them on getting engaged. Meanwhile, an unexpected chain of events occurs at this very moment, Elsa and Anna are invited to sing any song of their choosing, and giving the-“Does this guy ever shut up, we haven’t had a single line of dialogue for who knows how long! And for the love of metal, CUT TO A NEW PARAGRAPH, Jackass!” Are you happy now? “No, I won’t be happy until you reach the 1500 word count, so it looks like we are stuck with each other for 1000 more words.” “Anna, I understand this dumbass is annoying as hell, but please understand that we need to entertain the readers and make sure that they are thoroughly distracted from their mundane and uninteresting lives. Our readers are living vicariously through us and if we are happy, then they are happy. If we fuck something up, like firing this incompetent narrator, the audience will send us and the writer death threats all because we didn’t meet their outrageous expectations that are impossible to meet, all you have to do is look at the new Star Wars movies to see that these drastic claims are more than likely possible. So, to appease the fickle crowd that is the Elsanna community, we have to keep our storyteller and prevent this story from becoming mediocrity at best and at worst unbearably unsatisfactory, lifeless and oh so unbelievably boring. Plus if we obtain a new writer, then we won’t be able to keep up these meta comments.” Finally they see the value of having me commentate on their ‘exciting’ lives… oh fuck, I forgot this is supposed to be an elsanna story that is supposed to have music be the prominent focus, uhh “Shit, we need more music! The admin has a fever, and the only prescription, is more music! Hopefully we can also have dome cowbell?” Yes, please. “Since we’re getting married, we need someone to compose the music. And while we may be attending a concert, I highly doubt they will want to compose wedding music, furthermore, I believe we should support small time composers, and I have a hunch about who will help us!” Sometime later, not going to specify how long, even if it is only a week time skip. Anna and Elsa have contacted a composer by the name of Adrian von Zeigler, and asked if he would help compose some musical scores for their big day, and being the nice person he is, agreed wholeheartedly. Now Elsa is having her wedding suit designed by a big named seamstress named Edna Mode. And before anyone asks, yes she has her original sassy nature, but she is also, charitable, referred to as the Queen of Douchebags: Long may She reign. Ultimately, I am going to try and keep her under-“Dahling, if you do not stop with all the yapping and talking, I’m going to sew your mouth shut, now Elsa dear, how do you want this suit designed, hmm?” “I would like it to scream ‘I’m sexy and I am not ashamed to flaunt it!’ As for colors, I think blues and purples.” Meanwhile, on the opposite side of town, Anna is getting fitted into a wedding dress that some blonde chick designed, and no we are not talking about her in this story, so shut up! All is well and good with our favorite sister-brides, so I shall ignore them and talk about the wedding. Currently, there are a few events planned for this wedding. These events include a dance off, because fuck you!, karaoke, and a ‘battle of the bands’ type thing. Because this is an Elsanna fanfic, I am essentially forced to give Elsa ice magic, alas she has complete control over her powers, and can create instruments to play due to the fact that ice made violins and guitars are in essence free. Oh yea, before I forget, yes there will be chocolate, please don’t put my head on a spike! Jumping forward a day, today is the wedding day, and all of the guests have arrived, Elsa is standing at the podium as a Celtic rendition of Here comes the Bride plays, allowing everyone to see that the beautifully clumsy redhead we all love is, well just as beautifully clumsy, only in a wedding dress. In order to prevent her from embarrassing herself, I have her trip and fall into the Snow Queen’s arms, and thus the wedding commences. After the ceremony, Anna challenges Elsa to a duel to see who is the better musician, Elsa plays In the Halls of the Mountain King, while Anna preforms Ride of the Valkyries, and since this is a written story with no sound to accompany it, I’ll just tell you that their performance was on par with the original. Once the married couple finish their duel, the other unnamed guest have their turn, and I feel like I’m about to be yelled at so, take it away Elsa. “Thank you all for coming to celebrate this momentous occasion, even if the dumbass narrator didn’t bother to name any of you, we are still happy you all showed up. And before I forget, there is something you all should know, while this is an unconventional marriage to begin with, it fills me with pride to know that so many of you support us on our big day, we mean it. I would also like to thank the readers for staying with this story for this long, and if this story gets popular enough, the author will post it on fanfiction.net for all to read. However, this story is almost completed and there is a lot more to be accomplished, so if none of you mind, there is one last thing I need to say. It doesn’t matter what type of music you listen to, just know that it is music that binds us all together, as such this story will henceforth be called The Songs That Bind Us. And with that I bid you all adieu, and turn you over to our esteemed narrator.” With the wedding wrapping up, and the guests heading home, the sisters head to their home to find someone waiting for them, and it is none other than Joakim Broden, lead singer of Sabaton, wait why is he here? “Well I’m glad you asked, I am here to give you both annual tickets for all upcoming concerts, the only stipulation is that you both have to wear our band’s merch. By the way congrats on getting married.” After Joakim leaves Elsa and Anna decide to eat some chocolate, watch some Netflix while making out, and afterwards bring some chocolate to the bedroom and have some kinky sex with each other using the chocolate, and since this story is not smut, I wont even bother writing what they do, just know that it is really fucking kinky. And with that, the story is officially complete, thank you all for reading The Songs That Bind Us, good bye and see you later!

Elsanna week 2018: Day 2 “Secrets”

First chapter

Word count: 883

Rating: T (for now)

Setting: Modern AU

“I’ll bring someone home after school,” Elsa said with her natural calm to her father, while she drank her tea. Early morning during breakfast was the only time of the day she could see him and talk to him for real.

Her father put the iPad on the table. His daughter wasn’t asking for permission to do something; she was announcing her intention. That was new. He raised an eyebrow. Her daughter was bringing someone home. That was weird, to say the least.

“Really?”

“Yes, the new transfer student. It has been a month since she started attending our school, but she still needs help learning our rules.”

“And you offered to help her…”

“It’s my duty as president of the student council to assure the students’ welfare.”

“That’s very nice of you, Elsa. I’ll tell your mother you’ll be…”

“She’s not my mother.”

“Elsa, please…”

“She’s the woman you married after mom died. She’s not my mother.”

Her voice was sharp, and she gave him an icy glare before leaving the dining room and getting ready to leave for school.

--------------------

Anna was nervous because being invited to the president of the student council’s house was huge. At the same time, she couldn’t help it but feel full of herself because the whole school was talking about her. During the month she had spent in the school, she had become the Ice Queen’s protégée, and of course, that had sparkled all kind of rumours. Her classmates couldn’t believe it the new transfer student received so many favours from Elsa Frost who was her senior and the most influential person on the campus. The other members of the student council were jealous of her, and envy was eating them alive when they saw her leaving school with Elsa and getting on the car with her.

When they reached the Frost residence, a woman received them cheerfully.

“Hello! My name is Agatha, I’m Elsa’s mom. Nice to meet you!”

“Hi! I’m Anna, nice to meet you too!”

Elsa ignored the woman completely and went upstairs. When she saw that Anna was still engaged in conversation, she cleared her throat to catch her attention.

“Anna, my room is this way.”

Once they were in Elsa’s room and the door was closed, Anna let out a sigh of relief.

Elsa invited her to take a seat in one of the chairs around the table which were in the middle of the room. She sat next to Anna and tried to conceal her sudden anxiety.

“Your mom is nice.

“She’s not my mom.”

Seeing Anna puzzled expression, Elsa decided to explain her the true nature of her family’s situation.

“My mom died when I was little, and then my father married this woman. Nobody outside the family knows the truth. When we came to this city, they hide the fact she wasn’t my mother. And they compelled me to keep the lie. So, when we’re in public, I must call her mother. Everybody thinks we’re the perfect family, but we're far from being like that. I ignored them all the time, and when I’m not at school, I’m locked here in my room. This is my secret, and I trust you won’t say a word.”

Anna was still slightly shocked. She didn’t know what surprised her the most: if Elsa being talkative, or the whole thing about her family. Anna nod silently; her teal eyes opened as plates looking directly into Elsa, trying to scrutinize her emotions.

“And do you have any secrets to share?”

“Me? Well, I don’t have a dad. Actually, I have a dad, otherwise, I wasn’t born, hehe. But, I don’t know who he is. My mom is single and never talks about him. This is not a secret because we never hide the fact that I don’t have a dad...But, when my mom got pregnant, her family kicked her out, so she moved to another city and started a new life away from them. She raised me alone, and a couple of months ago my grandfather contacted her because he wanted to know me. And he decided he wanted us back in his life. Actually, he wanted my mom back in his life, I was new to him. So, here I am.” Anna needed to catch her breath after talking without stop, and then she let out a sigh. “I don’t think I’m what my grandpa was expecting.”

“What do you mean?”

“Look at me! I’m a common girl. He was expecting someone like you…”

“Like me?”

“Yes, sophisticated, graceful, the perfect heir to his empire.”

“You’re perfect just like this.” Elsa blushed after saying out loud what she had been thinking for a whole month.

“Nah, you’re too generous, that’s mhmmm…” Anna was interrupted by a sudden kiss. Her first kiss. Soft lips against hers, a sweet mint taste invading her mouth. She closed her eyes and she felt how the world around her stopped. Her only focus was on her lips trying to keep the rhythm of the kiss, and the cold hand caressing her cheek. After a while, both parted to catch the breath, a red tint covering their faces.

“This is my other secret…” Elsa whispered in Anna’s ear. “I like you.” And then, she kissed her again.

Setting: Modern AU

It was an impulse, maybe a whim, maybe she would regret later. No, it was an act of bravery what she was about to do. She had to do it. For her. For Anna. She had reached the limit, and she couldn’t cope with any more shit coming from her family. She had spent her whole life under her father’s shadow, accepting what he had said without any question. Secluded in a school with draconian rules, secluded in her room to avoid to her stepmother. It was enough, she craved for freedom and acting like a brat wasn’t the way to get it.

So, Elsa picked up a suitcase and started putting her essential belongings into. She was determined to leave home, and perhaps throw a bomb to her family in the process.

She was ready, she glanced around her room one last time before leaving. If her family wasn’t downstairs, she was resolved to leave anyway without notice. When she reached the living room, there they were. Probably, still deciding her life and how they could convince her that Hans Westergaard was a good catch.

“Elsa! Where are you going?” That was her father, his voice tinted with concern and surprised. He never thought that her perfect daughter could take her own choices.

“I’m leaving.”

“Elsa, dear, you don’t have to leave. Come, sit with us, so we can discuss this all together.” That was her stepmother, the well-known hypocrisy in her words.

“There is nothing to discuss. And please, don’t waste your time trying to convince me that your nephew is the perfect husband for me. I’ve got some news for you: I don’t like men, I like women.”

She didn’t wait for them to react, she just opened the door and left. As she had predicted, the horror on their faces was priceless and she couldn’t help it but smile devilishly.

When Elsa reached to the coffee shop, Anna was already there waiting for her. She had ordered a frappuccino and had taken sit in one of the sofas near to the entrance. Once she saw Elsa crossing the street, she waved at her happily.

Anna was surprised when saw her carrying a suitcase and a confident expression plastered on her face that she had never seen before in Elsa.

“Hi! Are you travelling somewhere?” Elsa could sense the worry in Anna’s voice.

“I just left home. Let me order a cafe, and I’ll tell you everything.”

A couple of minutes later, Elsa came back to the sofa carrying a large cup of black coffee in one hand, and a bagel in the other.

“So, you were saying something about leaving your home?”

“Yes, I had a huge fight with my family today. They want me to marry a guy they choose after I finish school. My father doesn’t listen to reasons and he is a puppet managed by my stepmother. I can’t stand this anymore, all my life have been the same: they decide what I have to do. So, I just picked up my stuff and leave.”

“Wow, Elsa! And what are you going to do now? I mean, where are you going to stay?”

“Probably at school. The campus has dormitories for the students who come from other cities and countries. So, I’ll stay there.”

“Come with me, to my home.”

“Anna, I can’t make you part of this mess. You’re too young to be involved on this. What is going to say your mom if you got back home with me? And…”

“I love you.” Anna spat the three words without thinking and then she let out a relieving sigh.

“What?”

“I love you, Elsa. I’ve finally can say it. I’m a stupid brat who never knew what to be in love was or felt…”

“Anna, you aren’t stupid…”

“Shut up, let me finish. I need take advantage of this sudden bravery I’m having thanks to all the sugar I just drank. I wasn’t aware that what I’m feeling is love. I was confused...I physically need you but at the same time I feel something inside me that I can’t describe and goes beyond plain sex, and I realized is love, and it’s beautiful, and I don’t want it to stop, and I want to share it with you.” Anna took Elsa’s hand into hers and squeezed it.

Elsa couldn’t conceal the blush on her cheeks and the growing impulse to kiss Anna right there. She didn’t care they were in a public place, she felt like she could send the whole world to hell in that moment. And then, following her second act of bravery in that day, Elsa kissed her. Softly at the beginning, fiercely after a while.

When they parted their lips, both were deeply blushed. Elsa could still feel in her mouth the sweet caramel taste of Anna’s frappuccino. She looked around, nobody had batted an eye at their kiss.

“I’m in love with you since the first day we met,” Elsa whispered next to Anna’s ear.  “And, because I love you so much, I’ve been restraining myself from doing something we could regret later,” she added.

“But, how can we regret…”

“I wanted to be sure of how you really felt. I know how confusing could the feelings be at your age, and I feel responsible for being older than you.”

“So, that means...now..can we…?”

“I’m not going to do anything you don’t want, and I'm not going to put pressure on you. You’re too precious to me, Anna.”

Anna’s ringing phone interrupted their muttering. She answered the call and after a couple of “fine” “yes” and “take care” she hung up.

“It was my mom. She’s not coming home tonight.” Anna’s eyes started sparkling when she realized she was going to be alone. “I think she got a boyfriend,” she muttered. “But, she didn’t want to tell me.”

“Well, you didn’t tell her you have a girlfriend, have you?”

“Not yet...you didn’t tell your father either, so we’re even.”

“I did it. Before leaving. Their faces were priceless.”

“You’re kidding me!”

“Anna, if I’ve got to let everything go and accept myself, that’s the first thing I must admit.”

After a pause, Elsa took Anna’s hands and started caressing her palms with her thumbs.

“Anna…”

“Yes?”

“I accept your invitation to your home.”

Elsanna week 2018

What a ride! I’m so fucking proud of myself! The first time I was able to accomplish the whole week respecting the prompts. And my first time contributing to the elsanna fandom. Here are the links to the seven parts, they’re all related and form a story:

Day 1: Love at first sight

Day 2: Secrets

Day 3: Flushing Faces

Day 4: Serenade

Day 5: Hopeless

Day 6: Bravery

Day 7: Mine all mine

Goals I reached thanks to this special week:

-Write in English a rate of 1000 words per day. English is not my native language and this practice has helped me a lot. 

-Follow prompts. A while ago, one of my biggest issues was not being able of following prompts. I found them restricting. Now, they are triggers.

-Write something without planning and quickly resolving and creating situations

-Write femslash smut.

And the best of all is I’m going to expand this story, filling in the gaps and I’m going to develop more situations and characters backgrounds. 

And even better, this story has inspired me to write and draw an original comic with original characters. I’m planning the outline and characters.

So, thank you for this wonderful and creative week. Thank you to the people who shared and liked the chapters, I hope you enjoyed it reading as I enjoyed it writing.

It was hopeless to try discussing something with her father, let alone attempting to make him listen to another point of view besides his. Elsa was lying on the bed after a heated fight with her family that included insults, angry shouts, crying, and had ended with she slamming the door of her room and locking herself in.

The end of the semester was near, and it meant the end of high school for Elsa. It meant she would be coming of age and supposedly she would be free. But, she was wrong because it seemed her father already had planned her life and that included to be engaged to one of her stepmother’s nephews. She barely knew the guy from some of those boring family meetings in which she always had tried to avoid mixing with someone. Hans was his name, the younger of the thirteen band of scumbags that were Agatha’s nephews.

Something about joining the families in more than one way was Agatha’s argument while her father nodded like an automaton. Her father insisted that being Hans’ fiancée guaranteed her a comfortable life without worries. She didn’t even need to go to college or university. Her future was secure in the hands of the family's company and the Westergaard corporation. She would be the perfect heir -she truly had learnt to hate that word since she was a child- married to the perfect young man.

Elsa couldn’t believe her father was such a jerk or such an idiot. He still was so blind to see that Agatha’s family, the Westergaards, were taking his company little by little. Obviously, she had refused the arrangement, and the only thing she wanted after finishing school was her share of the company to make her life. That had been her plan since she entered high school. She didn’t care about corporations and families agreements, she only wanted to study to be a fashion designer and live her life as she desired.

The buzz coming from her phone interrupted her trail of thoughts. It was a text from Anna.

“Miss U. I wanna see U.”

Elsa smiled at the screen. She wondered what would have happened if she had told her family she wasn’t interested in men at all, and she was going out with a girl. The idea amused her because she could picture the horror on their faces. She felt hopeless as probably she would never have the courage to tell them.

------------

Anna was in her bedroom finishing her homework. She had been feeling uneasy for a while, and it was hard for her focus on her study.  She was thinking about Elsa, lately, the girl occupied her thoughts, her dreams, and her fantasies. She was ready to make the next step in their relationship, but for some reason, Elsa still wanted to take things calmly. Actually, calmly was a way to put it because they had engaged in several hot making out sessions that had led them to the verge of something else, but Elsa always managed to stop just in time. Sometimes it was frustrating for Anna, and mainly when she barely understood with really was going on with her body and her feelings.  

Everything was new for her, she was actually discovering how a relationship worked. She had never gone out with anyone before, in fact, she always thought that her first experience would be a boy. She wasn’t aware she liked girls until Elsa kissed her that day in her room. Maybe, she only liked Elsa and not girls in general. She wasn’t sure at all, but something was craving inside her. She could feel it every time she was with Elsa, every caress, every kiss, every touch made her feel a warm sensation in her belly and an itching feeling in her parts. But, her need wasn’t only physical, she felt something more. She couldn't  put it into words, but it felt her heart were in pain when she missed Elsa a lot, or like her chest could burst of happiness when she saw her.

Her laptop made a sound announcing an incoming skype calling. It was Kristoff, her childhood friend. They were almost like siblings since they had grown up together; their mothers sharing the same workplace and the same trials of raising their kids alone.

“Hey, what’s up red?”

“Hiya blondie!”

“Can you turn the cam on?”

“You little perv!”

“Wow Anna, hello! You look different, what happened?”

“Uhm? What do you mean by different?”

“Well, you look pretty...And I didn’t see you in months since you moved there…you aren’t online anymore, we only text.”

“Why are you red as a tomato? Beware what you say, blondie or my girlfriend will kick your ass.”

“Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What girlfriend? Anna, is there something I’m missing?

“Well, I’m going out with the president of the student council who happens to be a girl because y’know I’m going to an all-girls school, and pretty much that’s the reason I’m barely online…”

“And you were planning to tell me this when…?”

“C’mon Kris, I’m still not sure what’s going on with my life, and I have this with Elsa which is a secret because y’know if someone at school finds out, or our families catch us…”

“You know you can count on me, if your mom kicks you out, you can come here with your girlfriend.”

“You’re so sweet, blondie!”

“Is she good to you? I mean, your girlfriend, she treats you well?”

“She’s my best friend in this place, and she’s my girlfriend which is a plus y’know because we kiss, we hold hands, we…”

“Okay, okay, I get it, you don’t need to tell me what you two do, I can imagine it pretty well.”

“Anyway, there’s something that’s bothering me…”

“What’s that?”

“I want to, y’know...do something more than kissing, and holding hands, I mean all that is wonderful, she’s perfect and all…”

“Wait, you didn’t ...yet?”

“Nope, I want but she’s too serious with this...and I’m feeling like I’m going to explode, can you understand?”

“You need sex…”

“Kristoff! You’re so gross!”

“Anna, you’re telling me you want something more than kissing and you didn’t do it yet…”

“But, it isn't just sex...I can’t explain it because I can’t figure it out myself. I feel something like a need but isn’t physical, it’s like inside me but I don’t know…”

“You’re in love, Anna….”

“What?”

“Really, you can’t get it? Jeez, you’re dense. Why are you going out with this girl?”

“Because she kissed me, and then I liked it, and she told me she liked me, and then we keep kissing, and I feel great with her and I want to see her every day, every time because when we’re together we’re happy, and…”

“You’re hopeless in love, Anna...You don’t want to have sex...Well, yes, you want, but you want to make love to her…”

“And how you do you know that?”

“Because I’m some sort of love expert!”

“Pffffff, I’m way more expert than you now!”

“Anyway, what are you going to do?”

“What do you recommend, expert?”

“Call her? Text her? And tell her what you feel.”

“I’ll text her to meet her in person...wish me luck, blondie.”

“Good luck, red. See ya.”

They finished the call, and Anna hesitated for a while. So, that was how it felt to be in love, she pondered while reached her phone and started texting.

“Miss U. I wanna see U.” She pressed the send button and waited. A couple of minutes later, her phone buzzed.

“Meet me at the coffee shop in front of the park. XXX”

The school was almost empty since classes had ended barely an hour before. Anna was in the duty of cleaning her classroom that day, so she was still there finishing her work. That day she didn’t meet Elsa yet, both of them had been busy with different tasks besides classes.

Once she closed the classroom’s door and was about to text Elsa, she heard a sweet music flooding the corridor. The music classroom was on the floor above, but since the silence reigned over the whole building, the piano could be heard clearly.  

Anna followed the music as she was under a spell, and once she got to the music classroom, she opened the door and found the enchantress behind the magic: Elsa. The girl smiled at her without interrupting her concert, and with a knowing look, she invited her to join her.

Anna closed the door behind her and approached the piano. Elsa finished the piece of music broadly smiling when Anna clapped delightedly.

“It’s beautiful!”

“Yes, it is. Serenade, D 889 by Schubert.”

Anna looked at her in amazement. Sometimes she couldn’t believe the amount of knowledge Elsa had in her head, and she felt so tiny at her side for not being like her. Elsa noticed the sudden frustration in Anna’s features.

“What’s the matter?”

“Uh, nothing…It’s just you’re such an expert in everything…and…sometimes I feel like I’m not a match for you.”

“Anna…you’re an expert in other subjects and that’s what makes you unique.” Elsa gave a peck on Anna’s nose. “Do you play the piano?”

“Uh, me? No, no. My mom plays but she never taught me…”

“My mom played too, and I’ve got a faint memory of sitting on her lap while she was playing…”

“Your mom must have been wonderful.”

“Yes, I think she was wonderful indeed. I miss her a lot.”

Anna sat next to Elsa in front of the piano. She leant her head against Elsa’s shoulder and took her hand in hers.

“Would you teach me? I mean, to play the piano?”

“Yes! Of course! We can stay here after class, or you can come home, and I can teach you in the piano I have in my room…”

“That’s not fair! I can easily distract in your room…” Anna’s cheeks were slightly blushed at the recall of her last time being at Elsa’s room.

“I’m a very strict teacher. I don’t allow any kind of distractions during my classes. But I’m willing to give my student any kind of encouragement and rewards if she pays close attention to me.” Elsa placed her left hand on Anna’s cheek and with her thumb, she caressed her chin. Then, she closed the distance between them and kissed her. “Is this encouraging enough?”

“Yes, it is, teacher.”

“Meet me at our place.” The text message glowed on the phone screen. Anna saw it just in time after the gym class. She was sweaty and tired, but she never would turn down an invitation coming from Elsa. Their place was a dusty room on the third floor that was used mostly as a warehouse. The first time they met there, Anna was a little taken aback by Elsa’s choice of place. But then, she realized they were secured there and can have all the privacy they needed.

It had been two weeks since they had shared their first kiss. And since then, they barely had their lips apart from each other when they were together. Every time they had a break between classes, they snuck out and met in hidden places around the school, until Elsa found that room.

They only kissed; swiftly, slowly or hungrily, but just kissed. They tried to keep their hands at bay to avoid crossing the invisible threshold that could lead to something more intense and dangerous.

However, Anna was more than willing to trespass that threshold if it wasn’t for Elsa and her sense of responsibility. Elsa was feeling guilty enough making out with a student three years younger than her, so she wanted to take things slowly even if that meant she had to repress her own needs.

Anna reached the room and saw the door was ajar. That was their cue every time they met there. She opened it and found Elsa waiting against the wall. Elsa couldn’t conceal the flush in her face when she saw Anna standing at the door.

Anna was wearing her gym uniform which consists of tiny shorts and a tee. Her legs were highly exposed, and the sweat had made the t-shirt got stuck in her body. Damn it, gym class today. Elsa started worrying. For the sake of everything is sacred in this world, why she has to be so damned beautiful! Elsa was frantic with panic, wondering if she could be able to restrain herself.

“Come here.” Elsa grabbed Anna by the wrist and pushed her against the wall, kissing her fiercely.

Now it was Anna’s turn to flush, feeling how Elsa devoured her with kisses on her lips and neck. She lost herself in the heat of the moment and slid her hands under Elsa’s skirt, but they were gently taken away before they started to wander dangerously.  They entangled their fingers and Anna led Elsa’s left hand to her centre as in cue to let her know what she was craving for. Elsa took her hand off and placed it on the wall. She stopped the kissing and still gasping placed her forehead against Anna’s.

“Anna, no…”

“Why?”

“If I touch there I won’t be able to restrain myself…”

“But...I want to feel you…”

“I know...and I want to do you a lot of things…”

Anna kissed her swiftly on her nose.

“Then do it…”

“Not here, not now, Anna. You deserve something better for your first time.” Elsa kissed her on the forehead.

Both of them were covered with sweat. Anna’s bangs were plastered to her temple, and her pupils were bigger than usual due to her arousal, and all that made her even more desirable.

“Pleasure yourself while I kiss you,” Elsa whispered her in the ear, her blush deepening even more.

Anna nodded, and closing her eyes, she slid her hand under her shorts and started touching herself with lingering strokes. Elsa kept kissing her with the same fierceness than before, and without realizing what she was doing, her hands started caressing Anna’s breasts under the shirt.  

Elsa could feel when Anna was reaching her peak and muffled her upcoming moan deepening her kiss. Anna shivered for a moment and took her hand off from her core. She was about to clean her sticky fingers on her shirt, when Elsa took them, put them over her lips, and inhaling Anna’s scent started to lick them.

Both were equally blushed, and once Elsa finished, she gave Anna one last passionate kiss.

“You’re delicious,” said Elsa when she stopped the kiss. “And beautiful.”

Anna only limited to smile faintly with redness covering her cheeks, and her legs still shaking.
