RosenRitter745 chapter 54 . 7/5 Woah, woah, woah. What do you want me to say now? Splendid, just splendid. You are a master of words. It's hard to believe that I actually missed this gem on the first attempt, because I just can't get over the "Jane Doe" problem (maybe I'm just devoted to Elsa's real name, strange obsession, isn't it?) But I'm glad that I gave this story a second try, and I'm delighted with what came out of it. Normally I tend to be more inclined towards stories within the canon-verse, a hopeless sucker for the forbidden romance between sisters and all the drama and angst that follows. A story in which both sisters were torn apart in childhood, became criminals and fell in love before discovering their true identity? This is definitely outside my comfort zone. But your story has a grip on my heart. The plot is compelling, the progression is logical and the pace is perfect. It starts out quite lighthearted and humorous, even the readers themselves are under the illusion that there is an easy way out. After all, both protagonists are capable and tough women in their own right, and the sexual tension between them is simply beyond words. Their adventure continued when the criminal mastermind struck and the two were forced to flee, trying to defend themselves and become each other's backbone, leading to the confession of love. Usually the most interesting part of an Elsanna fanfiction is how the spark of affection leads to the confession of feelings and the subsequent consummation, and the stories somehow lose their drive and charm. But this one takes a different path, and even all the fluffy and sweet moments can't hide the problems lurking in their relationship, nor has the author shied away from them and played them down. In order to really strengthen their relationship, rather than just build it on sand, Elsa and Anna have to tackle their deeply buried personality issues the right way. For Elsa, it is stoicism, alienation and the habit of fleeing at the first sight of conflict, which stem from years of isolation and traumatized experiences during adolescence. For Anna, it is about building trust in someone (someone who even puts your well-being above her own), stopping manipulating others for your own benefit or what you think is good for her, and becoming truly emotionally independent. All the characters' weaknesses are somehow hinted at in the film, and the author has done a good job of stretching them a bit, scrutinizing them and using them as triggers for the final climax and revelation. These chapters are particularly heart-wrenching to read, especially in Elsa's POV. However, I believe that this is how it is bound to happen, and I appreciate that the author has not swept it under the rug in the slightest, which makes the outburst and the breakup so believable, so heavy, so startling and yet so touching. In the reconciliation afterwards, I saw two girls who were emotionally much more mature, true to themselves and to each other, and I am really happy to see that they could start over again, in a new life, and build something together. I thank you with all my heart for creating such a masterpiece. |
RosenRitter745 chapter 37 . 7/4 What else can I say? Fxxking hilarious! The socially awkward Elsa always has a grip on me. But this? This is the next level of humor. |
RosenRitter745 chapter 14 . 7/3 As an insanely big fan of “Person of Interest” I was at first glance hooked on the two protagonists. Like a comment from another reviewer, this story has the vibes of the series, and both Anna and Elsa have mixed personalities like Root and Shaw. They're really badass (to which I attach great importance). Anna is more flirty and flexible, and Elsa is more tech-savvy and awkward. I think this story has a lot of potential and I'm sticking around to see how it pans out. |
crazgus chapter 54 . 6/25 I think this is easiest the most well written story that i read here. As a non-native English speaker, this was kind a hard read and I was impressed with your vocabulary. Very original and fun concept as well and the end didn't let me down ;) |
Fishy coffee chapter 54 . 6/20 Fantastic story! The inter dialogue at the end and Elsa coming to terms with her addiction were amazing. Thank you for writing this! |
H20 Ferrum Dominus chapter 1 . 6/15 Oh god that pun at the end was both horrible and funny at the same time...Keep up the good work mate! |
Guest chapter 54 . 5/21 Wow this is fucking amazing |
Queen of Ice and Hallows chapter 54 . 5/5 Wonderful! Beautifully written, hits every emotion and ties up lovely. I also enjoyed all the little nods to 'If/Then.' Thank you for sharing! |
Guest chapter 30 . 4/14 It’s really funny how some of the dialogue you used, actually made an appearance in Frozen 2. Shows how accurately you were able to depict the characters! Nice job! |
KaytieJay chapter 54 . 4/13 Wow... just WOW! That was an emotional rollercoaster of a ride as there ever was. A lot of raw emotions that had me wringing my hands at the possible outcome. You didn’t disappoint. I find little reason to ever remove this story from my top 5 of all time. Looking forward to possibly seeing more of these two in another story down the line... hopefully! Thank you |
KaytieJay chapter 43 . 4/12 This was as difficult a read as ever knowing that Anna knew, even as it was still suspect, in her own mind, that the possibility of Jane/Elsa was indeed her sister. At the same time, the fact that they both are indeed in love with each other, does the fact of incest supersedes Love? I've been around for a long time and seen hatred on so may levels of hell on earth that I'm at a point of letting love supersede any other emotions that counters it. Call me anything you want, weak, deplorable, disgusting, a scourge on humanity. I'm just tired of so much hate that I'll take any form of love as a step in the right direction. |
KaytieJay chapter 38 . 4/12 What can I say that hasn’t been written so far? The arc that the last three chapters had me hoping that the two would find just one night alone together and satisfy the desires they have for each other. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You HAD to do that, and lets just throw in a twist of the knife in Jane/Elsa’s already openly wounded heart. You sadistic bastard/bitch, not sure which! Lol |
KaytieJay chapter 30 . 4/12 I know I’m bouncing backward from my previous review but I had to comment on this chapter. It brought me back to when I first left high school. I joined the Coast Guard and my first station after boot camp was New London, the Coast Guard Academy. After spending the first month on base in the barracks I moved off base to an apartment in Norwich. It’s like you literally transported me into your story. Those first moments of being on my own where the most memorable moments in my life and I want to thank you for making me relive that time of my life. I’ve been reading so many stories on this site since I first found it within the last few months. There are so many gifted writers and a precious few that have separated themselves as the best I’ve had the pleasure of reading. You are one of those precious few! I count myself as the lucky few that had the opportunity to travel and I’ve been to a few of the places you have described so far. It only has made me more vested into this story than I’d ever imagined. I’m a hopeless romantic and have fallen in love with the way you have brought these two star crossed lovers together. My only hope is that even though there will be catastrophic events that will try to tear these two apart, I believe Love will prevail. I have added this story to my personal top 5 and I seriously doubt anything will ever replace it. You have my undying gratitude and unwavering support. |
darontaye blake chapter 52 . 4/11 This is a lovely story overall! Superb plot, unique take on Elsa and Anna, and very enticing scenes. |
KaytieJay chapter 24 . 4/10 This is the first time I posted a review on this story because I was so enthralled with it. This was the first opportunity I could breathe. I found this specific chapter very touching, their friendship growing despite what they’ve been through or rather because of it. I’m constantly reminded of how talented the writers are on this site. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I only hope that I can somehow write half as well as you! |
