A/N: sooo guess what I'm obsessed with at the moment? :P so I decided to get stuck in and be a part of the fandom! now I'm sorry if anyone is annoyed that I haven't updated my other stories but when I uploaded them I was younger and had a lot going on, I wrote them to escape from the troubles I was facing and didn't really plan them properly, however I do know where I will take them in the future, so don't worry if you want to continue reading those you will be able to, I just need to find the time to get back into the fandoms and get some writing done, however for the moment this is what I'm going to focus on as I really want to get this idea down and let others read it and share my love for this film and ship! ok rant over :P

WARNING: this story will eventually have a lot of incest and from the very beginning incest is heavily hinted at, so if you don't like that or its a trigger for you don't read this! other than that it will more than likely have swearing and violence.

ok now that that's out of the way please enjoy :)

Frozen Flames

Chapter 1: Burning snow

The sun blazed down mercilessly onto the kingdom of Arendelle. The sky was clear, not a cloud in sight, even the air was still and bone dry. Never in the past hundred years had Arendelle experienced this kind of weather. The people weren't used to it, everywhere you looked you could see them walking round and going about there business in their summer wear, still sweating and wishing they had something with less cloth. Even the queen with her control over ice couldn't handle the sudden heat wave that had hit her kingdom.

Elsa looked out to the people in the square and beyond into the town, from the castle balcony. She wished she could do something to help them; they were all clearly struggling with the heat. She lifted her right hand and tried once more to conjure any form of ice, she concentrated hard, and for a second she thought she was successful when she saw the familiar build-up of sparkling water vapour. But as soon as it was formed, just like all other forms of water in the kingdom at the moment, it succumbed to the fiery heat and evaporated into the atmosphere.

Elsa growled in frustration and turned away from the balcony, her hands bawled up into tight fists. She was trying her hardest and all that it accomplished was draining her energy and making her feel weak. No longer able to bring herself to watch her people suffer she stormed through the halls with no solid destination in mind; all she could think about was how much of a failure she was. It had been quite a few months since her coronation and the whole incident with her powers being exposed, it had taken the people a while to fully accept their new queen for who she was, and some never would but Elsa was ok with that and had accepted that fact. What got to her now was the fact that instead of people judging her for having and using her powers, they were now judging her for not using her powers. She just couldn't win either way.

Without realising it, Elsa had ended up in front of her study, her subconscious mind reminding her about the amount of work that still had to be done. Sighing to herself she entered the study, closed the door behind her and opened the window (not that it would make a difference) before sitting at her desk and making a start on the huge pile of documents that needed reading over and signing. As she worked she thought about the comment one of the guards had said the other day, 'we could do with some of that eternal winter now hey' she couldn't help thinking that it was meant to be conceived as snide, snarky, spiteful?

Shaking her head of these ridiculous thoughts Elsa continued to look through the papers. She was probably over thinking the whole thing she thought to herself. She sighed again and squeezed her eyes shut, her left hand raised to her furrowed brow, the lack of a breeze not helping with her rash thinking. Why couldn't everyone just leave her be and let her get on with her work in peace, without doubting her every move? Why couldn't everyone believe in her just like Anna did?

"Anna" Elsa smiled as she softly spoke her sister's name. How was it that she could calm Elsa down without even needing to be in her presence, just the thought of her sent a calming wave over the queen and she was able to relax a little. The only person who truly believed in Elsa whole heartedly was her own little sister, and how she was able to do that after everything Elsa had done to her she didn't know, but she was so glad that Anna did or she wouldn't be able to cope. After so many years of separation the two sisters had wasted no time in getting to know each other a lot better and just spending time getting close again. The only problem was Elsa was getting a bit too attached to her sister, she blushed at this thought and if she wasn't already boiling hot her temperature would have risen.

Her work completely abandoned, Elsa dropped her head into her hands with a groan. How had she let things get this far? At first she just thought it was normal for her to have strong emotions towards her sister, since she hadn't spent any proper time with her for nearly thirteen years. But the emotions and feeling didn't subside, they only grew stronger, manifesting with every cute, adorable thing her sister did. What made it worse was she knew she was flirting with her half the time, and could swear Anna reciprocated those actions which didn't help Elsa to understand these confusing thoughts and emotions.

While Elsa was lost in her own mind and oblivious to the rest of the world, she didn't hear the light rapping of knuckles on her study door, or the soft almost timid voice asking, "E-Elsa? Are you in there?". It wasn't until the door was opened and the voice suddenly grew in volume and worriedly asked, "Elsa, what's wrong? Are you ok?!".

Elsa's head shot up like a flash and she tried to make herself look presentable, but in the rushed movements she overbalanced herself causing the chair to topple backwards and thud against the floor. She groaned in pain and tried to get up off the floor but her head was all over the place, so was making the simple task all the more difficult. It wasn't until she opened her eyes and saw the large, worried blue eyes hovering above her that she realised it was Anna that had entered her study.

Wringing her hands together Anna started to stammer an apology, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Elsa! I didn't mean to startle you, I was just. You see I was just checking up on you, since no one has seen you for a while, and I, I mean we were starting to get worried, and were…"

Elsa couldn't help but smile at how adorable Anna was being. The way she was trying to look everywhere except at Elsa but was failing and would glance over to look into her eyes, before shying away again in case her sister was mad at her. Or the way she was fidgeting with anything she could get her hands on, the edge of her dress, her hands or a loose strand of hair. She shouldn't be doing this to herself, it wasn't helping her to understand what she was feeling, but for the moment she choose to ignore whatever it was and just enjoy her sisters company.

She giggled at Anna's behaviour which caused her sister to stop her rambling and look directly at her with the biggest smile she had ever seen, she admired the smile for a few seconds before saying, "Anna its ok, it's my own fault for not paying attention. Could you possible help me up though?".

Anna continued to smile and just look at her sister for a few seconds before she realised Elsa had said something, and jumped into action replying, "oh, yeah sure" she held out her hands for Elsa to take before she pulled her up to her feet, "there you go all better, are you sure you're ok Elsa?" Anna asked with an undertone that suggested she wasn't talking about her fall.

Elsa picked up the chair before turning back to her sister who was watching her inquisitively; she knew she wouldn't get away with lying to Anna when she was like this. She sighed again, it was quickly becoming a habit, "Yes I'm ok, don't worry about me, it's just all this hassle with the heat wave and the amount of work and preparations that need to be made on top of that" she rubbed the back of her head in a very un-sophisticated manner, "I guess I'm just stressed is all".

Anna let her worry ebb away into the back of her mind, her sister wasn't upset about anything major, she just needed to relax a bit, which was proving difficult due to the current weather. Without warning she wrapped her arms around Elsa's neck pulling her into a tight hug, whispering, "Oh Elsa, you do so much for this kingdom and everyone else, you forget about yourself".

Elsa was shocked with the sudden contact at first then relaxed and returned the hug, running her right hand over her sister's soft hair. She liked these special moments, they only happened between the two sisters and it made Elsa feel special after being alone for so long. After a few seconds she broke the hug and moved back so that they were arms distance away from each other, with her hands still on her sister's shoulders, she smiled, "It's my job to run this kingdom, if I don't do it who will hey" this caused Anna to laugh, Elsa giggled with her before continuing, "and besides I don't get chance to have time to myself because you always end up occupying my free time".

Anna's soft caring smile turned into a mock offended look, she playfully hit her sisters hands off her shoulders, "Hey you're the one who asks me to do stuff with you, not the other way around!" she turned her back to Elsa but kept her head turned so she could just see her out of the corner of her eye, a huge grin on her face.

Elsa smirked at her sister's behaviour, "this is true" she edged closer to Anna ever so slightly, "but you love spending time with me" before Anna could get away Elsa closed the distance between them and started tickling her, causing the strawberry-blonde to laugh uncontrollably.

"Ok, ok, OK! I'm sorry. Of course I enjoy spending time with you. Now please stop!" Anna spoke through fits of giggles.

Elsa stopped her tickle attack and let the young woman gain control over her breathing again. Once she was able to breathe normally and was no longer laughing, she made sure she was presentable and smiled at her sister, "guess someone is feeling better".

The queen simple smiled back and shook her head at her sister's comment; she started to walk out of the room with some of the papers and motioned for Anna to follow after her, which she did. When they were out of the study with the door closed and locked behind them Elsa asked, "so what have you got planned for today? Are you going with Kristoff into the mountains?".

Anna nodded her head in response, "yes, actually that's exactly what I'm doing, Kristoff wants to show me this beautiful lake up in the mountains, so we are going to take a picnic with us".

Elsa smiled at her sister, she knew what she felt for Anna was wrong and wouldn't go anywhere, but at least her sister had someone to take care of her that Elsa was ok with. If she couldn't have Anna at least it was Kristoff that would. Smirking at her sister she asked, "So you and Kristoff are having a picnic at a beautiful mountain lake huh".

Anna was caught off guard and was stopped in her tracks by the statement, before she realised and quickly caught up with her sister, blushing and rushing her words to defend herself, "No, no, no you've got it all wrong Elsa, I don't… I mean there's nothing between us… me and Kristoff I mean… I don't like him like that… he's more of a friend.. Ugh… what I'm trying to say is I'm not into…".

Deciding to stop Anna's embarrassment Elsa giggled, "Hey hey slow down! Its ok I was only teasing. It's ok if you do like him, but if you don't that's ok too".

The blush on Anna's face resided slightly, she sheepishly replied, "oh ok, I just don't want to make the same mistake I did with…" she slowed down and was slightly behind her sister.

The queen turned to face her sister, the smirk that was on her face now replaced with a pained look, she just couldn't keep her mouth shut, she always had to ruin everything. She hugged her sister tightly, pulling her close, "I'm so sorry Anna I didn't mean to make you feel bad" she cupped her sisters face and caressed her cheeks with her thumbs, "you can like whoever you want to, it's no one else's decision and no one can change how you feel about someone, always remember that ok".

Anna smiled and nodded, "ok, thank you Elsa".

Elsa smiled back and let go of her sister, "I've held you up long enough, go on enjoy your day with Kristoff and the others, be sure to say hi from me" she playfully pushed her sister towards the large castle doors.

Anna laughed and started running the distance to the doors, she shouted back, "I will, see you later Elsa!" as she turned her head to look where she was going she thought to herself, 'no one is ever going to change how I feel about you, don't worry about that Elsa'.
