Great story! Oh boy, now Anna will find out just who she married and either get a divorce or an annulment. I think the rest of the movie will play out very similar to how it really did. However, I would really love to see what happens to Kristoff. Will Anna get there in time? Please update this or write a sequel!

Niiiiiice! I'm glad you're exploring this AU. When I watched the movie and it got up the monologue, I literally screamed in frustration. I mean, come on! Hans, you were SOOOOO close! But you just /had/ to open your big mouth and ruin everything. -_-
Oh well. That's what fanfiction is for! Good job on this. It's fantastic!

This is really good-I mean I read the summary and was impressed with your line of thinking. The story is building up on that sentiment. Hans really has so much more inside of his character now that you've brought him to this divergence, but surprisingly, Anna does too.I'm hopeful you will continue.

Oh Da feels!

Now this is getting more interesting than I thought

XD Poor Hans. He's in so much trouble with Anna now.

Looking forward to the next chapter!

I like the way that you have it diverged.
Hans is the most realistic of the Disney villains that I've seen so far, and I like how you fix that minor mistake on his part and start having it change everything drastically.
Like Anna still trusts him, Olaf was able to get in without a problem, Kristoff is suddenly Arrest On Sight, and he probably has a different approach to Elsa as well.
I like the way that you show us what exactly goes through his mind and how we can see why he did something. I like the way that you're portraying Hans as well.
I'm definitely enjoying how Anna is able to take control of the situation now with Hans not leaving her in a cold room, and her regalness is inspiring. I think that you're writing her very well.
Why would the servants be deferring to Hans when in the end, Anna and Elsa are their royal family? I mean, he's acted as regent when Anna was looking for Elsa, but the fact that they didn't tell Anna anything and just blindly followed Hans shows how he's subtly taken control while the sisters were gone.
I'm definitely very interested in Dark Horse, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Wow, this makes more sense than the original. :)

Sort of. :)

Okay, I totally freaked when I saw you posted a new story! Your writing is amazing! It's funny and witty, but has deep insights and lessons. You are inspiring!

Anyway, this story, I went, "huh?" when I saw Prince Hans as your cover but your portrayal of Hans was amazing. As much as I hate that Anna is still blind to the fact that he doesn't love her the way she loves him, I am SO excited to see what you have in store.

God Bless,

I'm not sure if this review will express all the win you've put here. I really feel like you've nailed Hans as a manipulator, and the choice to show sections both in and out of his perspective was well made. We get a glimpse as to how his mind works and we see the strings and the gears clicking as they move, allowing us to easier trace the true motives behind his words and deeds in the second part. I love how he turned his own intentions onto Kristoff. Ever the puppet master that Hans. The fact that he finds out about the trolls is worrisome to me. And he still has Elsa imprisoned at this point... in the movie, this was about where she broke out. Interesting to see how things will change!

Seeing something from you in my inbox made my night. Ironically, we had just started watching Frozen when it showed up.
