Elsanna Week ended three days ago, but this has been rolling around in my head. So here is my last prompt. The AU.
Summary: Elsa and Anna argue all the time. Anna was born with powers too. Can they reign in their anger enough to get along. Will true love prevail?
Rating: T for incest and violence
Disney's, not mine.

At a young age Elsa and Anna had to be separated. Their powers were too dangerous to mix and any temper tantrum or outburst resulted in natural disasters within the castle. Each girl was kept in her own room. They had spent the past thirteen years apart trying to learn how to control their powers. It was a lonely, frustrating existence, but it was all the girls had ever known.
On the evening of their parents' funeral Anna approached Elsa's door for the first time since childhood. She heard the shattering of ice, and snow swirled from under the crack in the door. The wails of her sister echoed from other side of the door. Neither girl had been able to attend their parents funeral. The town assumed it was grief, but the castle staff knew better.
"Elsa?" There was no answer. "Elsa, please, I know you're in there... We have to talk about this."
The raging storm inside calmed. "Anna, you know it's too dangerous..."
"I don't care." Anna huffed. "Let me in or I'm burning down this door." She heard her sister's footsteps approach the door. It swung open. Anna entered cautiously- the floor was a solid sheet of ice. Elsa backed away as quickly as possible. Her gloves had frosted over and a snow cloud flurried above her head.
Anna caught Elsa's ice blue eyes and she couldn't hold back her own tears. "What're we gonna do?" The ice began to melt beneath Anna's feet.
"Anna, relax... You can't let your emotions get the best of you." Elsa stepped toward her sister tentatively.
Anna laughed bitterly. "Look at your room. Don't be a hypocrite." They stood a foot apart, neither girl knowing what to say to the other. Anna cleared her throat. "I can't push back the grief right now, and neither can you."
Elsa met her sister's teal eyes with an icy stare. "I've always been to conceal it better than you."
The temperature around Anna rose and the floor began to melt. "Don't start this Elsa, not now."
"We've never been able to stop this. Don't you remember the last time we saw each other?"
Anna nodded. "I remember it perfectly."
Ten Years Prior:
"Elsa give it back!" Anna skidded into the ballroom after her older sister. She had stolen Anna's eight birthday present, a pink heart-shaped crystal.
"Can't catch me Anna!" Elsa stuck her tongue out at her younger sister and ran around the room, shooting ice on the floor. Anna stomped on the ice, steam rising from under her feet as the ice melted.
"Give it back!" Anna whined. She knew Elsa was just jealous- Anna had gotten a small party that year and Elsa wasn't allowed one for her birthday after she had accidentally frozen the entire castle.
Elsa skidded to a halt, smirking at her sister. "Or you'll do what?" She dangled the charm necklace from her wrist.
"I'll make you!" Anna's shouted. Without thinking a burst of flames shot from her hand and struck Elsa's palm, causing the elder girl to drop the crystal.
Elsa cried out in pain. Her left palm raw and blistered. But all Anna could see was the crystal fall and shatter. She stomped angrily on the ground and began to cry.
"You little brat!" Elsa spat. She shot a shard of ice. Impaling her sister's left foot.
Anna's cries echoed through the halls and their parents came rushing in, taking in the scene of destruction with horror. The wooden floor was scorched. Anna's foot was bleeding and she was wailing, steam rising from every inch of her skin. Silent tears escaped Elsa's eyes and froze on her cheeks as she clutched her palm.
That was the night both girls had been separated. They were locked away in their separate rooms and weren't allowed to be in the same room together again.
Anna fiddled with the blonde streak in her hair, staring down at her feet.
"We can't stop this..." Elsa hung her head in defeat. "How're we gonna do this alone Anna? We can barely be in the same room together."
Anna looked up at Elsa. Staring at the red streak she had caused in her elder sister's platinum blonde hair. She had never seen her sister this vulnerable before, and in that moment she knew she had to be the strong one. Anna edged toward her sister. Elsa's body stiffened as Anna removed the frost covered gloves.
"Anna, don't..." Elsa's eyes widened in fear. She tried desperately to pull away. But Anna wouldn't have it. She took Elsa's scarred palm and lifted it to her lips. Elsa gasped at the warm sensation. Her eyes locked onto her sister's, confusion and wonder filling her eyes.
Anna slowly edged closer, playing with the red lock of her elder sister's hair. "We are perfect opposites. In every aspect. Maybe, just maybe, we can calm one another's storm long enough to...handle this. This pain." Anna lightly stroked Elsa's cheek. Elsa's breathing quickened and her heart began to pound in her chest.
"Anna..." Elsa blushed, a swirl of unfamiliar emotions raging inside her. No human contact for ten years meant that every touch made her cold skin tingle.
Anna hooked a warm finger under her sister's chin and forced those icy blue eyes to look at her. "Just trust me."
Elsa nodded. She was unable to refuse. Lost to the tumult of emotions. Anna leaned in and kissed her softly, a small puff of steam rising from their lips. She tangled a hand in her sister's red locks and lost herself in the kiss. Elsa entwined her tongue with Anna's. The younger girl gasped and pulled her sister closer. They kissed passionately, tongues dueling and lips soaking up each contact of affection. They broke apart only because they needed air. Anna saw the first true smile on Elsa's lips, one that had been absent for years.
Their foreheads touched. "See, we can do this." Anna assured.
Elsa nodded. "We can." She captured her sister's soft lips once more and pulled her close.
No element of fire or ice surrounded them. The only thing that filled the room was one of pure love, and for the night that truly would be enough.
Not exactly what I had in mind but I really enjoyed writing it. I hope you enjoyed it as well. I'm planning on writing a multi chapter fic on . No title yet, but my pen name is MadDelight if you care to check it out. I'll probably post the first chapter in a few days.
Elsanna ftw. I love my new fandom.
