A/N: This story was originally published on my dA account, but seeing as it was written spur of the moment, there are several points that didn't match up. Now, you're welcome to read the full story on dA, and some might already be familiar with it, but this version will be the edited, cleaned up, version and I'll probably add more details to it and possibly add scenes. Ultimately, this will probably end up being the better version lol.
Special thanks goes to leo-gemini, WhiteHeartFlame, AcidSpades, and Frostfairy7 (they're all on dA) for being my ever encouraging team of readers who never failed to brighten my day. Love you guys *hugs all around*

Summary: In love with Jack Frost but disappointed that he doesn't return the affection, Tooth is driven to learn more about the young Guardian. Unknowingly she walks into something much deeper, a plan carefully initiated, and can't get out. Having noticed Tooth's odd behavior, Jack tells the other Guardians but they don't believe him. Acting on his own, Jack gives everything to help her, proving his love for her through it, even as he goes to extremes.

A thin barrier,
Thinner than ice,
A weak point,
Hidden in strong.
Step gently on the ice,
Beware the deepening cracks,
Seek ever onward,
To the place within,
Where is the thin ice,
Trialed to breaking,
Love is painstaking,
A barrier about to break.
Seek kindly love,
The guarded thoughts,
Of echoes past,
And present, on.
Prove its worth,
Press on through the murk,
Don't heed the breaking point,
Tread freely on the ice.
When it cracks,
What will it reveal,
What flows beneath,
At its heart what is the keep?
Roiling turmoil,
Driven strife,
Unclear passage,
To deeper plight.
The purpose within,
What all is sought,
Are answers answers,
Or is all for naught?
Where is the breaking point,
The storm's last lash,
A love's deep burning,
It all is ash.
Tread gently on the ice,
To love's last yearning,
Peer through the small hole,
The reflections cast.
Stay always strong,
Self sacrifice it all,
While guile be leads,
Purpose recedes.
When all is said and done,
What scars will be there,
What will remain,
And who will still stand?
Torments endured,
All for another,
A price paid,
To free the other.
Love be rendered,
Inconsequential or divine,
When the ice breaks,
Who will fall?
Let love sink in,
And have no end,
Rescued, arisen,
Returning to thee.

A/N: Final note, I began the original story with this poem, as it kind of gives voice to the feel of the story, so it was only fitting to include it here too. After this though, I can promise that there won't be any more poetry.
Thanks for reading! And I'll see you in the next chapter;) Until then.
