I think Elsa would have, at least, made some sort of statement to her people. the way you wrote it made it seem like she just left arendelle to norway without a second thought.

The story is called 'Icy Venom'. I figured Anna would get the classic Symbiote and become Venom. The title of the story is misleading is my point.

Hello again! Since my last review has been unsatisfactory (really), and you've been asking for those (a year back? is it still valid?), I'll try and rake this installment (and maybe some others, later) of your series over the coals properly. All the notes I made will be PM'd to you - this is a digest.

Show, don't tell. Yes, it's the most clishe advice ever. But still good. For example, while describing Lenora, get rid of the repetitions and try to use details, (show) not names (tell). Instead of "the woman said, getting closer. She was a petite woman..." I'd say: the woman called. A little smaller than Elsa, she wore a somewhat crumpled uniform labeled "...". Her dirty blonde hair was tousled, a few strands stuck to the woman's forehead. - That way we have to imagine her and infer that she looks a bit worse for the wear.

You generally use too little description. Put some descriptive passages here and there, when the scenes start. Some of the descriptions you do use is mighty awkward - try to put small details instead of all-encompassing nouns there. By the way - I know you're a native speaker, but you tend to misuse some words (especially "betray") - it's a metaphorical use, true, but still clumsy. Metaphors must make sense.

The rhythm is sort of sedate - try to use longer, more flowing and descriptive sentences where nothing actiony is going on - and shorter, snappier in fights (also internal, emotional fights).

Scientific innacuracies: there's no such thing as non-lethal freezing (buy a bag of frozen strawberries if you don't believe - water freezes in sharp little crystals that cut through cells, leaving them shredded) - but I can forgive that, cause magic (no such thing as sentient snowmen, either). How hurt is Lenora? Arterial bleeding in the snow doesn't sound like fun, low blood pressure such as caused by bleeding (even a large nosebleed) would make you cold on its own. Little known fact - it takes training to interpret pictures, and moving pictures we have to train for additionally (the first movies had people run out of the room in panic, cause there was a train charging straight at them! they knew it wasn't real, but had no experience with the thing - look up "dual process theory"). Hot baths have been known in Ancient Rome (and before) - contrary to the common belief, it's in XV-XVIII century that people used perfume instead of soap, though the girls come from a country likely to have a tradition of sauna - so it might not be inaccurate on your part. Unless Elsa is teasing? If so, make it clearer.

I like how you handle the spy element - it's plausible (I think...).

The idea of this fic - erasing your-series-Elsa's Dark and Troubled Past - doesn't really work for me. I generally dislike that in stories (I'm biased), because it takes away a large part of a character defined by the DTP. Life is a pile of good things and bad things, not some vanilla mush. Remember what happened to the utopia version of the Matrix? You also (in the entire series) introduce several juicy elements and then leave them completely unused: Olaf could be Elsa's little sibling figure and occasional mentor (he says these simple, but profound things - then goes back to bumbling adorably, and yet you keep him almost entirely off-page), and her relationship with Phil could grow a bit (aside from how cute it is - the other Avengers don't know he's alive, and she's keeping the truth from them - that could be a powerful disruptor for their trust in Elsa, should they ever learn). The villain also feels a bit tacked on (you're obviously planning to use him later, but still).

Hope I helped! May the Force be with you.

LOVE IT!

The plot is fairly interesting, but I noticed that your spelling of Kristoff was inconsistent. I believe, though I am not completely certain, that the one I used in the previous sentence is correct, and I know that it is the standard in the fandom.

Freaking EXCELLENT!

You have SUCH a good handle on this!

I see also that you have yet another story in the series. Time for a leap!

(Favoriting...)

Well ... shite.

Hans, you consummate bastard.

Yeah, he'd fit in just FINE with those Hydra scum. It figures they'd have a mole in the police.

Crap.
