“Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.” –Colleen Hoover
A/N: This is an alternate post-sequel AU that blends film canon with concept ideas from some of the deleted scenes. Plus my own “how-it-could-have-happened”. It is the first in a multi-part mini fic that will cover several different prompts of 2020’s @hansannafortheholidays.
While the “Meet-again-cute” is designed only for day 1 of the event, it’s actually the overarching theme for this entire fic.
Summary: Anna travels to the Southern Isles in December to escape her own kingdom for what would be a very painful holiday season. While she’s there, an unexpected encounter gives her a serious sense of déjà vu.

Anna of Arendelle always enjoyed Christmastime. There was a sense of charm to the holiday and the season in general, and not just because of her magical sister. Even in the years growing up apart from Elsa, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna always found a way to bring so much joy and excitement to Christmas. For her own part, she made sure Elsa had something to look forward to. Olaf was their pride and joy, and he was the subject of sisterly gift-giving for thirteen years.
Naturally, after the gates reopened, she and Elsa had even more to look forward to. Their first Christmas together brought forth some tough challenges, but also some wonderful new traditions. The simple return of the Yule Bell for the kingdom of Arendelle turned into a kingdom-wide venture to the forest where everyone got to take part in ice skating, caroling, hot chocolate, dancing and even decorating a massive magical Christmas tree. It was a fun, fantastic new way of bonding with not only Elsa, but with Kristoff, Olaf and Sven as their relationships grew over the years. They all became her new family, and she found herself in a special kind of high that she never thought she could possibly lose.
lmao all the anti lucïo rhetoric is EXACTLY, word-for-word the same shit i saw back in 2014 against prince hans fans like? you’d think such bitter people would have thought of a new argument by now other than “you like an evil character therefore you are bad person and hate abuse survivors”
