Title: A Journey Through Ice and Fire
Sum: [Digimon!Frozen AU] The mind is a fragile thing... how much can a girl go through before she simply... breaks...
Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen, Tangled, or its associated characters; I'm just borrowing them for a bit of fun.
Rating: T/PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, Hans, Rapunzel, Eugene
Warnings/Triggers: Depression, mentions of dysfunctional family, er... I think that's it.
Notes: Okay, so Digimon AU, I put it in the Frozen spot because I'm not using any of the characters that have been used in the series (the Digimon have been used before, but they were different Digimon, these will not be the same Digimon characters from the series. I may move it to crossovers later if this changes). Since the characters used will all be around the age of fourteen, don't expect any kind of romance heavy chapters. Crushes? Maybe. Anyway—I plan to be continuously writing the fic, but by the time this is posted, I'll have up to Chapter Two or Three written, as a buffer in case life gets in the way (at least I'll have something for you guys to read while I'm off being an adult =D ). I plan for it to be long, so it will be slow-burning in plot. I hope you enjoy it.

:Prologue:
-the Ice Queen of the Digital World-
-x-
"Anna! Run!" Over the rushing sounds of the blizzard beginning around them, she heard the yell from her cousin, the brunette Rapunzel who was sitting over the yellow mane of a massive red lion creature—a Digimon called Firamon. Somewhere behind her, two large creatures that could only be described as giant marshmallow white bears made of what could possibly be considered snow began to hurl powerful snowball attacks their way. Projectiles rained down around them as Kristoff and Sven managed to get themselves on the backs of their Champion level Digimon just like Rapunzel had, and were pulling Hans and Eugene up on the backs as well, as their smaller weakened Digimon shivered in their In-Training stages in their respective Tamers' arms. Looking down at the snow in front of her, she hovered over her Digimon—weak from their fight with the Ice Queen of the Digital World, the lion Digimon had reverted to his Rookie state and was well on his way of de-Digivolving even further. "Anna! Get up!" She heard from Rapunzel once more. Looking down, she tried to pull the lion Digimon into her arms, but he was too heavy for her small teenage body.
"C'mon Leormon, you have to get up." Anna pulled on his body. The was a groan that filtered into the air, the muscles beneath the fur she felt beneath her fingertips shook with the effort that the lion took to attempt movement. After a few long seconds, he relaxed again in his spot in the snow. "Leormon!" The redhead exclaimed as she leaned forward even further, her eyes nearly blinded when a bright light surrounded the body of her friend and shrank back to a small form. When the light cleared, she was left with the sight of what looked like a small sunflower-head looking creature with two large bright red eyes. "Leormon?" The creature let out a weakened sound that sounded much like the syllables 'popo'. The small creature shook in the snow. With adrenaline rushing through her limbs and the threat of harm from the approaching snow bears, Anna quickly grabbed up the smaller Digimon in her arms and moved to run towards where Rapnuzel was impatiently waiting on the back of Firamon.
"It's about time, Anna!" She called out, letting her hand down for the redhead to grab. When Anna's hand is firmly grasped within Rapunzel's the brunette pulls as hard as she can, and the redhead finds herself seated behind her cousin on the back of the crimson lion Digimon. "We have to get out of here! Run Firamon!" Rapunzel calls down to her friend, before the powerful hind legs of the lion push off from the snow and they begin their trek away from the Frigimon and their master within the large ice castle. All six of the children, as well as the Bakumon they'd met after landing in the Digital World, made their way down the mountain and to safety from the threat of the Ice Queen.
-Meanwhile in the Ice Castle-
"Who… who was that girl?" Hugging her arms around herself, the blonde woman turned to her only friend in the Digital World. He stood much taller than her, his leather-like appearance was different shades of white and ice-blue, while sparse wings splayed from his shoulder blades, and his face was covered with a half-mask. "IceDevimon… she… she knew my name… and she seems so familiar." She worried her lower lip between her teeth, and began her pacing as thoughts began to run through her head. The Digimon merely stood there, his usual grin on his face. "I… I know her…" She whispered to herself, moving her right hand to push against her right temple, in an attempt to abate the headache as memories flooded into her mind's eye.
A childhood she wished to forget.
Mama, Papa!
Elsa how could you?!
It was an accident!
A little sister that almost died because of her.
Anna you have to wake up…
I won't be able to build snowmen with you if you don't open your eyes!
Parents that never loved her.
Elsa, we are… disappointed in you.
I can't believe you would be so… irresponsible, Elsa.
A dysfunctional family that would have been better off had she never been born.
Elsa! You can't do that!
Be careful with her Elsa, don't hurt her!
You can't keep doing this to her, she's a child! She doesn't know any better!
And throughout her pacing, ice began to form into threatening looking spikes beneath her footsteps—a reflection of her fear of what it all meant. "IceDevimon?" She stopped suddenly, looking to the one person that hadn't left her. He gave her a smile, an expression that she interpreted as love as he moved over to her. With tears in her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his waist, barely tall enough to reach and she felt his over long clawed arms wrap around her body—and through the cold, she felt the warmth of familiarity move in.
Light enveloped her friend, and his form shrank. When the light cleared, she was left with a large rat-like creature with bat wings for ears; his fur was a blue-purple color. From what she'd seen, he resembles Patamon greatly. However, she knew him as Tsukaimon. "She's your sister, Elsa… the one you almost killed." He spoke, his voice a lot darker than something so small and adorable should sound like. "She's the reason that your parents hate you… she's the reason that you were forced to come here… because here is better. Your family doesn't love you." He spoke. Elsa tears continued to fall. "But I do, Elsa… very much."

Author's Note: If you're confused, cool. If you're interested in seeing where I'm going with this, even better. Feel free to drop me a review/ask/message/whatever about the fic, I'm always open for constructive criticisms concerning my writing, or just general conversation.
As always, if something triggers you and I did not mention it at the beginning in the notes, let me know and I will fix that. I don't enjoy triggering people so I try to prevent that as much as possible.
Enjoy your day. =D
