GRAMMAR GIRL FOR THE WIN! HAHAHAHA

My guess is she injured her dominant arm and can't put much power behind her punches anymore. That seems most likely case going by the arm brace.

I suppose you could do something a bit more interesting and she killed or nearly killed someone.

What a fic ladiesgentlemen.
100% worth the reading!

I need more and more please up date I want a marriage scene at least

Now THIS is a great introduction. Simple, straightforward, perfectly fitting the personality profile we have for Anna whilst also inserting the unique themes of the story in a perfectly fluid, natural approach. Great job!

Oh, please. If that happened, how could she be all "get over it already!" to Elsa? She should've known how it feels - actually, no she wouldn't, because like: parents arm vs. cousin and uncle? Not to offend any cousins and uncles who may be out there. It just feels kind of unnecessary.
On the bright side, the story's still quite good! Hopefully the rest is too.

I been reading for two entire days, I fucking love this story 3

An amazing beautiful, thought beautiful isn't enought for your fic :D. I love it .~PenguinVuelve

Wow! Thank you so much for your wonderful work! I have been making my way through the Elsanna fandom and this was a real highlight. I loved the Anna POV and how both characters changed and grew. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Thanks again!

why am i only just reading this? cuz dang, what a story.

SPEECHLESS
You're amazing

Damn, I said it would take me roughly a week to finish this fic but here I am typing my review a month later! October was a surprisingly busy month for me, so I guess thats ok, that just meant I got the pleasure of savoring this story for much longer.

So… as I stated in my review at the top of this, I was very excited to hear that Anna is a Kentucky girl, because that’s something we have in common. Well… I’m not a girl, but you get what I mean. But it just got so much better from there, having lived in Louisville for the past 6 years while going to University, I know firsthand the places you were referring to. After reading the many mentions of Louisville and the slight detail that you give, it wouldn’t surprise me that you are either a native or have spent time there yourself, but I digress…

Getting on to the story itself, I really enjoyed how you made Elsa this elusive and mysterious person in the beginning, because that makes the true horror of what she’d been living with that much more potent to the reader. Finding everything out as Anna does, a little bit at a time, really makes this story stick out.

The one thing that I had a problem with was the time period of the Olympics. It seemed like the Games took place in early summer instead of late summer, but I could be completely off. Plus you also have artistic license here, so I cant really complain about such a small thing.

Anyway, back to the story…

The first fight between Anna and Elsa was written well, and I’m glad that you didn’t write Elsa as automatically listening to Anna about a prosthetic. Having Elsa resist Anna showed what kind of place she was in mentally. Looking back to that fight, it made her change throughout the rest of the story all that much more paramount. That fight was a great catalyst for their relationship, and I feel like in the long run it strengthened it.

In “Round Two” I experienced a lot of emotions. At first I was riding the wave of elation from the previous chapter, but after Elsa asked Anna to meet her parents, I knew this would take a turn for the serious. I’ve been dealing with some depression thinking about my parents and grandparents getting older lately so something as simple as hearing Elsa address her parents as “Mama” and “Daddy” at the cemetery was enough to cause tears. I mean, the words “Mama” and “Daddy” are just so much more… innocent and childlike than the alternative “Mom” and “Dad” that is used more often. I feel that that small choice was something that really gave an emotion to the scene that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. Because no matter how old you are, you’ll always be that little girl or boy in your parents eyes, and it can be a sad yet beautiful thing.

“Reprieve” is just an amazing chapter, with Elsa telling Anna’s parents about her life I knew it would be another accomplishment for not only Elsa, but their relationship as well. Anna taking Elsa to her special place is such an adorable thing to do and the perfect setting for her to admit her feelings. (On a side note I can’t think of any particular place in Louisville you could be talking about, but Louisville is a big place so I don’t know all of it!)

The smut scene in “Let the Body Breathe” is so much more than that. Actually, using the term “smut” is offensive to this scene altogether, because it’s so much more than that. This is probably one of the greatest written instances of Elsa and Anna “making love” that I’ve ever read. The sensuality, the anxiety going on within Elsa, it’s raw and it’s real. I love how you wrote Anna in this scene, the way she accepts Elsa and finds her perfect is absolutely beautiful. I’m glad you made a point to have Anna remove Elsa’s brace, because Elsa probably felt more exposed like that than in any other scenario. The entire scene is beautiful, I cannot say enough about it.

“Prelude” For a short and fluffy chapter I felt like this one was incredibly important, if anything it showed how loving and giving Anna’s parents were. Elsa’s reaction to the check shows that she really is feeling more comfortable around people.

The skating scene in “Stand Tall” was absolutely adorable, and I’d actually forgotten about that song altogether, so it was nice to revisit it.

Hans… I really thought I’d get through the fic without having to see him, but his little… interruption wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I’m glad you decided not to make him the main villain as is common in an Elsanna fic.

The scene in “Giving One Final Push” where Anna finally holds Elsa’s hand… oh my god that one ruined me! Tears of joy for both of them, it is in these scenes where your writing truly shines. You are able to put a feeling into it that other writers struggle with. You’re writing makes me feel like I’m there celebrating the elation of this monumental event with them, not like I’m just reading words off a page. That’s a special talent, and you should be proud of it!

“And Thats the Match”… The final chapter is always a bittersweet moment for me. It’s always sad finishing a story that you love, but the great thing about reading is that I can revisit it anytime I want. (Believe me, I most definitely will) I’m glad you didn’t go with the whole “X- Amount of years later” epilogue route. I feel like the story ended perfectly; by showing how they’ve both grown over the arc. The line “My whole world is turning nineteen” is so beautiful, and probably one of my favorite lines in the story.

I know you said something about writing a sequel, and I truly hope you get around to it, but no pressure! Should you ever write one, you better bet I’ll be one of the first to read it!

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us!

For this review I’ve referred to this story as a “fic/story,” but it deserves a much better term. This is a book, nothing less, and it deserves to be published. I’ve read a handful of Elsanna fics that deserve that transcendence into the published world, and this is definitely one of the best.

Again, thank you.

Usually I leave reviews at the end, but I'm gonna leave one here too.

I'm starting this tonight and although it may or may not be an insignificant detail, you've already got me hooked with Anna being a Kentucky girl. I'm a Kentucky native myself and it's nice to see the state get some mention every now and then!

With that said, I'm gonna get back to reading. Depending on time and real world things, you'll probably hear from me again in about a week!

Cheers!

I'm finding Anna to be extremely annoying. She has good intentions but the way she has gone about things has been extremely stupid and she somehow, in a roundabout way, make everything about her. And I bet somehow Elsa's going to be the one apologizing. ugh this story is really good but it's also slightly annoying.

Great story...
