A/N

Here I am again, wishing these ideas would just go away. I'm sure the concept of love didn't thaw has been done before, maybe it's been done to death, I don't know. There are a few basic concepts that I wanted to explore.

Elsa's a hot mess.

Disney left the door wide open for Anna.

The Prophecy, something that was discarded from the first iteration of the film.

Hans may not have been what he appeared, and that the ending was just too simplistic.

Personally, I like the simple ending where Anna just blurts out 'I love you'. But sometimes, things aren't that easy, and this extended ending to Frozen goes there. I'm staying in canon on this one, with an OC only playing a minor part. While it starts out a bit harsh, this piece is a little lighter than my normal fair, strong language and sexuality are at a bare minimum here, let's just call it PG13. It's short, only 14 chapters, so no multi-year slog, and it has an end. This story picks up when Anna enters the fjord, and AU's once she freezes...

Anna stepped out onto the fjord, every step causing her severe pain. She felt like a walking bag of ice shards sloshing around inside her. She had to stay moving.

"Keep going!" Olaf shouted as the wind swept him away, it would be the last time she'd see him. The wind swirled around her, pitching her back and forth, each step progressively getting harder. She looked at her hands as they began to solidify, her fingers would no longer bend.

"Kristoff!" she called out, her voice barely above a whisper, carried on the wind like a leaf in a gale. He heard the breathy sound and began to run. Then the storm suddenly stopped, as if it had been switched off, even the snowflakes held their place. They saw each other, called out their names one last time as he ran towards her. She would be saved, a true loves kiss, and warmth would return to her. The ice in her heart would melt, and all would return to normal. What that would be like, she had no idea, Anna had never experienced normal. She heard the tinge of sharpened steel, then seen her sister kneeling on the icy fjord, waiting for the end to come.

Decisions are often made after much contemplation, especially ones like this. Maybe Kristoff's kiss could save her, maybe it couldn't. But she knew Elsa would die if that sword came crashing down upon her. Only a brief moment to make such a decision, and it would be one of sacrifice…

"Noooooooo!..." was all she could get out as cold swept thru her. Darkness stormed thru her mind as she looked to the sky, seeing those beautiful snowflakes hovering and ever so slowly twirling, then,… forever black. She exhaled her last breath.

"Anna!" Elsa stood up and embraced her sister, her now lifeless sister. The tears that built up inside her were finally released, as Olaf, Sven, and Kristoff stood just as frozen in place as Anna, in stunned shock. She clung to her and wept for like what seemed an eternity, when Kristoff finally went up to Elsa and said;

"Your Majesty, it is time to go."

"We can't just leave her here!" She said sobbing, while the ice beneath them started to groan from Elsa's swirling emotions. Just then a vile figure began to stir….

"What happ…." He never even got the chance to finish the sentence.

"You!" Elsa, now enraged was charging towards Hans when she shot her hand out, and curved icicles pinned him back against the ice, like the claws of a giant beast. Snow and wind swirled around them once again, obscuring the sun.

"You told me she was dead, and now you will tell me THE TRUTH!" The claws began to tighten on him, just piercing the flesh.

"I-I locked her in the study and left her to die. You did all the hard work for me! If she hadn't stopped me I could have saved these people, now you've sentenced them all to death."

"Well I, Queen of Arendelle, accuse you of treason, and sentence you to death!" Then the spikes rolled into him, piercing him mortally, as blood spewed out across the ice, pooling up at Anna's frozen feet. Then the fjord began to rumble as cracks started to spider web underneath them. There would be no time to judge Elsa for what she'd done, no words right now would work except;

"Queen Elsa!, we must go!"

"Of course, but we must take Anna." It was both a grizzly and comical sight as they slid Anna across the fjord towards the shore. One of the dock handlers had seen what was transpiring and brought a wheeled cart to the dock. Many men volunteered to lift the lifeless, frozen princess onto the cart. It was a somber procession to the castle, where they would bring the cart to the main foyer. They gently set her in place in the middle of the room as Kai brought a solitary chair out to the queen.

"I know you want to be with her right now."

"Thank you, Kai. Please leave us in solitude."

"Will you be alright your Majesty?"

"Please do as I instructed, Kai."

"As you wish." Kai turned and closed the door, as Elsa's wailing would be heard for the rest of the night.

In the morning Kai found the queen lying beside her sister, next to Anna's blood stained boots. He put a blanket over her and decided it would be best to just let her rest, even if she didn't really need a blanket, Kai just wanted to do something, anything to help her.

A few hours later the Queen began to stir….

"Please, just stay away!..." Elsa awoke from a dream of reliving the coronation; this would not be the last time. She looked up frantically as she reacquainted herself with the waking world. Kai had been sitting just outside the door to watch over her.

"Your Majesty, how may I serve you this morning?"

"For starters, what time is it?"

"It is eleven in the AM, your Highness."

"I would guess that today, or any other day from here on out, time isn't going to matter much."

"Some of our guests would like to have a word with you, your Highness."

"I'm sure they would, and I know what I'm going to say, so I'll tell you first. I'd advise you to pack your bags."

"Understood your Majesty, but if I may be so bold to suggest, that um,… the Princess be moved to a move reclusive local?"

"Yes, Kai. Having her in the doorway does seem like a bad idea."

"However, your Highness, the castle is hard to move around in right now due to all the icicles."

"I think I have an idea to solve that problem." With Elsa's angelic hand motions she created an ice monster similar to Marshmallow, but less threatening, and slightly smaller.

"Centurion, you are Anna's protector. You are to make sure she is not disturbed. Your first duty is to clear the halls and rooms of the castle of any icicles that may prohibit our free movement about the castle, do you understand these instructions?"

"Yes, Snow Queen. Centurion smash." Then he proceeded to run thru the halls breaking thru the barriers Elsa's errant magic had made.

"Well, at least he's good at what he does." Elsa also noticed he was wrecking all the furniture and precious objects throughout the castle. It didn't matter. The icicles did a good job of destroying most of the castles sacred artifacts. When he was done the Centurion stood in front of her.

"What are your orders, Snow Queen?"

"Take Anna to the room with many paintings, and place her facing the painting of the woman in the suit of armor."

"Yes, Snow Queen." As gingerly as possible the Centurion picked Anna up and took her to the gallery room. It was one of her favorite spots, and one of her favorite paintings. Elsa thought there may be some hope that she was still alive, trapped in that icy statue. She would at least be looking upon something she enjoyed.
