WOW, I wasn't expecting people to be so interested! The reviews and comments and messages mean the WORLD to me. As promised, here are the lyrics to "Broken, Jagged Edges," the vocal/piano piece I'm working on combining musical themes from ROTG's "Prelude" and "Jack's Memories" with Frozen's "Let It Go," and adding, of course, the original piece itself. I imagine it to be sung from Elsa's perspective in an upcoming chapter (part of the reason I'm revealing it early is because I don't even really know yet if the character will be to this emotional point in "Fleurs," where I was originally going to put this). The rhyme scheme, which is surprisingly complicated, will make a LOT more sense with the music. Thanks for being interested, and let me know what you think!

UPDATE, 2/15/16: There is a 45-second preview of a draft of this on YouTube. Search SNEAK PEEK OF DRAFT "Broken, Jagged Edges" from "Ice Alliance, a Jelsa Fanfic" and you'll be there. The channel, of course, is Nope Not Telling. (I highly recommend listening to "Rise of the Guardians Soundtrack Prelude" first, so you'll see some of the first references-disclaimer; it is a DRAFT) ;)

41: NOT A CHAPTER (Some lyrics I promised)
Broken, Jagged Edges: Lyrics
.
(Verse One)
In the candlelight,
And on the floor…
With the map of all my secrets,
I've shown no one else before.
What is this strange new emotion
That I'm gravitating toward?
I've denied, and tried, to crush inside,
These thoughts I can't afford!
Let someone in—
Just this one time—?
If I'm honest with myself,
I know that I'm—
.
(Chorus)
Just a little bit broken—
Just a little bit ruined—
A little bit bad,
A little bit mad,
Coming—a little bit undone!
Heaven knows, I've tried to fight,
But you've made losing look so fun!
I feel I'm falling fast now,
Like I never have before—
Cause all my broken, jagged edges
Seem to match with yours.
.
(Verse Two)
Conceal, don't feel,
Don't let you know
Want to loose my inhibitions,
And go dancing through the snow!
It's not that something was missing;
No, I don't believe that's true.
Yet, I try and try to justify
How close I feel to you?
The more I look—
The more I see—
In so many ways, you are
So much like me!
.
(Chorus)
Just a little bit broken—
Just a little bit ruined—
A little bit bad,
A little bit mad,
Coming—a little bit undone!
Heaven knows, I've tried to fight,
But you've made losing look so fun!
I feel I'm falling fast now,
Like I never have before—
Cause all my broken, jagged edges
Seem to match with yours.
.
(Bridge)
I'm at a crossroads now—
Between my heart and mind.
I've got—
To be with you somehow;
I think that we'd find,
If we combined—
These shattered shards
Would be aligned.
'Cause you and I—
Are
.
(Final Chorus)
Just a little bit broken—!
Just a little bit ruined—!
A little bit bad,
A little bit mad,
Coming—a little bit undone!
I'll fix you, if you'll fix me;
These broken pieces be made one!
I feel I'm falling fast now,
Like I never have before—
Cause all my broken, jagged edges
Seem to match with yours.
.
(Ending)
Though shattered now, we could be beautiful;
Two broken halves make something whole!
I feel I'm falling fast now,
Like I never have before…
Cause all these broken, jagged edges—
Rough and ragged, jagged edges!
All my broken, jagged edges
Seem
To match
With yours.
