And back to regular programming of the daily struggles of Elsa and her anxieties. I am READY.

- I really relate to Elsa suddenly reeling from the possibility of Lea also having a crush on her. When it's one-sided, you can manage your own expectations, but when there's a chance of reciprocity, everything gets super real! And like her, I also instinctively feel the need to assume worst case scenarios cause having my expectations raise super high only to come crashing down is a scary thought. Poor Elsa. But also shows how seriously she's thinking of her own feelings!
- I'm glad Xion did apologize, or Lea made her. If Elsa and Lea had no feelings for each other, then it really would've been a very awkward encounter that's uncomfortable. Of course it's all in good spirits cause for us readers it's fluff, but I thought the apology was very realistic! Or you could even read it as Lea doing his best to make sure Elsa is comfortable, which is even better.
- STUDY DATES YEEEEEEEES. Or I guess tutoring dates. EVEN BETTER. I am such a sucker for them.
- YAY for first paycheck and treating herself! So happy and proud of Elsa becoming more of an adult!
- Saix?! Wasn't expecting him to show up! And Lea's a foster child hmm! (You might've mentioned it already but it slipped my mind.) I love that we're slowly getting to know more and more about Lea's life.
- Omg the secret swapping is so cute. Also so glad Elsa is growing more comfortable with Lea aka We Are "Just Friends." Lmao. And he's so supportive of her going after her own dreams! THIS IS THE WHOLESOME CONTENT I NEED.
- LMAO sorry idk if I should be laughing about the Saix sleepwalking part. Him going berserk if woken up was a nice canon reference! Also ohhhh convenient way to get Elsa and Lea into the pantry lmao. But Elsa is right, "the weirdest social visit" ever indeed.
- OMG.
OMG
OMG
He was gonna kiss her?! LEAAAAAAAA. IDK if I should be happy or sad they were interrupted (classic). But omg Elsa, you truly are a naive little butterfly. Yes, ofc this guy does NOT have a crush on you. But heyy I'll take her growing self-awareness of her own feelings. We're getting somewhere!

Aite I'm lagging on chapter 11/26 of this epic story, it's time to CATCH UP!

- Lmao that opening dialogue. I love how it's such a great hook, and also instantly reflects the personalities of Riku (Mr. Responsible I see) and Ray who's just here for a good time. And a responsible mother-to-be of course.
- YeS oMG I got so excited for Elsa when RIKU COMPLIMENTED HER ABOUT SINGING AT THE MIC. I'm definitely cheering for Elsa and hoping that maybe if she hears good things about her enough times, she'll start believing they're somewhat true. CAUSE GIRL YOU ARE MORE AMAZING THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE! "Yes, really." SNIFF RIKU I LOVE HIM TOO.
- At the same time, you write Elsa's anxiety and self-doubt super well, it really makes me ache for her. Especially the part with "...not built that way," with the separate paragraph, really set up an impactful line.
- OMG "glue doesn't stick to the inside of its own bottle"! YOU'RE RIGHT HOW DOES THAT WORK? Magic (or science).
- LMAO YES this is all according to Anna's master plan. I LOVE IT. Even drunk, she is looking out for her sis. And omg YES Xion is in it too! The two of them really did get close haha. Team Looking Out for Elsa.
- Lea was so sweet, offering to walk back so Elsa could have his seat. AWW. It's the little moments that I make me fall harder for him.
- Aww Elsa's clicking her heels together was so cute! She's kinda clueless in some ways, which makes sense with her sheltered background.
- This entire scene with Elsa sitting on Lea's lap on the car ride home has me CRACKING. UP. From Ventus' innuendo to Xion's intermittent cheerful comments ("Pothole! Stop sign! Onward!") it feels like a scene straight out of a rom-com.
- Rayne is really observant! Well, I guess if Elsa is literally about to strangle Anna, she'd suspect something's up lol. But I like how having them talk brings Rayne and Elsa closer while also letting us hear more about Elsa's thoughts on what happened in the car, since it was mostly just her narrating the events that had happened.
- Ahh so we find out part of the old habits he dropped was womanizing! Good for him focusing on his education (lmao I sound like a mom).
- Finding out about Elsa's singing talent was a nice touch! For a sec I wasn't sure if Lea was being uber nice plus a lil biased cause we know he likes Elsa. But Rayne coming in with the summer camp musical leads factoid was really cool! And especially hearing how much Elsa liked that and how she could potentially enjoy a career involving singing.

Such a fun end to the night out! I loved every moment of it, it was such a fluffy fun ride.

So… the whole siblings resorting to cartoon violence thing… does that, like, actually happen? I’m not an only child, but the age gap between myself and my sisters is fairly considerable, so such conduct’s never felt appropriate. Elsa and Anna though are only a couple years apart, as are most other examples of this trope I can think of. I’ve just never known if it’s a real thing, or purely a gag born for family oriented situational comedy purposes, and nothing more.

I’m not sure what’s weirder, the fact that Anna apparently REALLY has a thing for the smell of chicken nuggets, or the fact that I’ll draw the line at that while unapologetically self-identifying with the “pop-tart of my soul” line. Boring as it might sound, Anna personally strikes me as a fan of the Strawberry flavor.

Gotta love the chaos of Elsa and Anna’s Looney Tunes chase sequence against the backdrop of Lea, Riku, and Rayne munching on popcorn, a classic comedic contrast formula in all its glory. Gotta wonder though, do Rayne and Riku prefer it plain, or with seasoning? If it’s the ladder, me thinks there was many a movie night dedicated to the art of finding just the right flavor combination. If it’s the former… well, me still thinks there were still plenty of movie nights, prolly just ones with differing ulterior motives.

Also gotta love how chill Riku is about being totally whipped, and how quickly the tables turn when Mama Bear Rayne turns her wrath upon Lea, and his silver tongue is nowhere to be found. Come to think of it, pretty bold of Lea to throw Riku shade when he’s bending over backwards just as far for a girl he’s not even dating yet. Then again, I suppose love’s all about being crazy together in the most wonderful of ways, so really, who am I to judge?

I was wondering if Marshmallow, Destoryer of Worlds, was going to end up adopted by Lea or Elsa in this story - especially given the fact that in the very beginning of the story, Elsa mentally talked about getting a fluff ball dog and naming it Marshmallow and one of the reasons she left Hans is because he didn't like dogs. I found the imagery of Saix being forced to doggy-sit and also bursting through the wall like the Kool-Aid man hilarious. And I did enjoy that this story came full circle and ended with Elsa returning to the shop where she first stole the clothes to begin with. This was such a nice, heartwarming ending and I loved every word of this story. Thank you so much for writing it. I look forward to the bonus chapters!

On a side note, I just wanted to thank you for writing this story. If you hadn't, I never would've found your work and I wouldn't have been so thoroughly enamoured by the Lea x Elsa relationship. I also have come to think of you as one of my favorite authors. You were a breath of fresh air in comparison to the other stories I've been reading over the time I've been on this site. I don't normally review, favorite, or follow, but I will always with your projects. Thank you for taking me on this journey.

This whole chapter felt like it belonged in a sitcom and it was hilarious to read. My favorite parts had to be Riku fumbling about while blind, everything to do with "The Mother Hickey", and most of all how Rayne thinks that Elsa's life is her own personal soap opera. I thoroughly enjoyed Anna beating the absolute crap out of Hans - he truly deserved it, especially kissing Elsa without consent and also going on about how Anna was nothing to him. I do hope she recovers from her broken heart, but this does open the door to Kristoff and Anna having a relationship in future. This was an interesting, funny chapter and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

This chapter was filled to the brim with emotion and then some. The clocktower scene was sweet and caring, and showed just how strong of a friendship that they really have between each other. But then the fact they had feelings underneath the surface finally coming to light. I grinned from ear-to-ear over their kiss and it was written fluidly and with class, but still captured the heat of the moment air between two twenty-somethings about to cross the line between friends to lovers. This was such a great chapter and all the build up to this moment was perfectly executed. I look forward to reviewing the other two chapters. (Also, I apologize for my absence. I have read up to the end. Two more reviews coming your way!)

Oh my gosh. We’ve reached the end of the main story. I can’t believe it’s already been ten weeks since you started posting. I can’t believe we’ve reached the end! But we’re here and so is the chapter and *sniffles* I’m just so damn proud.

I love how Lea is, especially when it comes to Elsa. He’s all butthurt that she only ended up with a chorus role, and she’s trying to be logical, but he’s so damn in love with her he is convinced she deserves all the roles. XD It’s super cute of him.

Oh gosh. The fluff. The fact they’re really together and really dating. It warms my heart and I have been thoroughly ruined. This is the best thing ever. T-T

OMFG. SAÏX AS THE KOOL-AID MAN. THIS IMAGERY PLEASES ME AND MAKES ME SNORT.

Okay, I want to feel sorry for Anna, but she kinda did it to herself. She hooked up with her sister’s ex of five years the day after the wedding. That’s just… not okay. And I get she thought it was true love, but you just don’t do that. So yeah. It sucks he turned out to be a mega douche, but…. She could’ve done a helluva lot better. Like Kristoff better. The dude has genuine feelings for her. *shakes head* Just… Anna. Learn, girlfriend.

Oaken is just a sweetheart. I do love that everything’s come full circle and we’re back to where things began.

Oh gosh. It’s over. I’m actually crying. This was such a wild adventure you took us on, and I absolutely loved every single word. This was such a fun and amazing project and I’m so proud of you for sticking to it and getting to the end!

Can’t wait for the oneshots!

~Daughter of Kyne

Capped off with lucky seven laughs!
This was a short and sweet “ending” to the overall story. How the proprietor reacted to Elsa was delightfully surprising and the end was cheesy but very much enjoyable.
I look forward to the weekly one-shots!

Man. This chapter was just...a fucking rollercoaster lmao

Lea's reveal about being at the same festival? Did not see it coming at all.

RIP Riku I guess lmao this poor bastard is enduring so much right now. His catchphrase by this point has got to be, "I was not ready for today."

LET LEA GO BANANAS DAMMIT, YA BOI NEEDS TO PUT SOME PEOPLE IN THEIR PLACESSSS

I wish this wasn't the semifinal chapter. I would like to see more involving Elsa's family, namely her parents, the play, Saïx, and maybe even a short time-skip involving what's up with our leading couple and all the other casts' lives a ways from now. AND BRUH, ANNA AND KRISTOFF, C'MON

I think this is the only actual negative feedback I've ever given on your work, and I swear it aches me to do it...
I'm just not a fan of you following the original source material with Hans' betrayal of Anna. Call me nuts, but I actually would have liked to have seen him show up to talk to Elsa and it basically be sort of a repeat of Anna's "confession". Oh well, I guess I get to reread Anna going Super Saiyan on the guy /shrug

More pleaseee!

I won't lie I also expected Lea to beat the life out of Hans. I can't wait to see how this ends it'll be a shame to see it end.

ELEVEN out loud laughs! Back to the double digits with a high-humor chapter!
Firstly, the OPT has arrived! And it’s as hilariously amazing as I had hoped!
This was a quick resolution to the possible sisterly conflict. Props to Anna for damage control so quickly.
All the absolutely glorious humor aside, the ending here was utterly and absolutely PERFECT! I had no idea how you were gonna drive that wedge, and this was both fast and heartbreaking to experience from the 3rd person.
Oh, I thought I was looking forward to this chapterand I certainly wasbut now I can’t wait for the next!

OMG I can’t believe it’s the second to last chapter! It feels just like yesterday we were talking about this AU and I pestered you to start it and now it’s been a year and and and — *heavy breathing* I can see where you get the babbling for Anna from!

OKAY. TIME FOR THE ACTUAL REVIEW.

RIKU. OMG IT’S RIKU. AND HE’S YELLING AT LEA. WHO IS NAKED. IN THEIR KITCHEN.

Good lord, Lea, put on some goddamn pants. XD

Oh gosh, it’s the morning after. After THAT. That being the THING they did. The THING being Lea’s lizard and— I’ma shut up. Shutting up is best. Yeah.

OMFG RAYNE. NO. HONEY NO. PUT DOWN THE GODDAMN — WOMAN. I PUT YOU IN THIS WORLD AND I WILL TAKE YOU OUT OF IT. (This is where my inspiration for MY Rayne Hewley in my new project came from, BTW. Thanks for that. XP)

Okay but Riku fumbling and walking into things trying to corral his wife is hilarious and he is just so fucking cute and I wanna squish him in hugs. XD

….and we’re back with El’s man boobs fetish. Fucking christ, woman. XD

Oh gosh, Lea was there at the festival and he walked into a lamp post and was struck with love and *blubbers* IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL *blows nose*

OH GOD. I AM REALLY FLUSTERED READING LEA WANTING TO GO ALL VAMP ON EL’S NECK. MY FACE IS HOT. GWAAAAAH.

ANNA. OOOOOO I’M STILL MAD AT HER. *huffs*

“Can I come out yet?”

“Not yet! She’s still naked!”

POOR RIKU. He doesn’t deserve this hell. XD

OH GOD. THE CONDOMS. THEY HAUNT ME. OH GOD. *allows Ray to cower and hide her bright red face against my chest* IT’S OKAY, BABY. MAMA’S GOT YOU.

Omfg Rku, baby, you need a vakay once your wife chills out from the pregnancy hormones. You do not deserve this treatment, my fair prince. *shakes head*

Also, Hans is here. Wahoo. *droops eyelids*

GO ANNA. WHOOP HIS ASS. WAHOO! *cheers Anna on*

Oh man, this chapter was a road of chaos and I loved every single word of it. Hot damn. But now I’m realizing there’s only one chapter left! *sobs*

Can’t wait for the next update!

~Daughter of Kyne

YES! Perfect chapter yet again, I honestly didn't expect this to happen ill be honest.

Four out loud laughs from another emotionally heavy chapter. That being said:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This was amazing! Elsa and Lea’s heart-to-heart was sweet and all, but what came AFTER was pure gold and diamonds! My heart was swelling to its bursting point with Elsa’s declaration and the BDK! And even with Lea’s attempt to do the “right thing” they still follow through! (Kudos on not falling into the cliche.) Oh man I can’t wait for the follow up to this development!

Oh gosh, it just hit me that we’re close to the end of the story. And it makes me happy but also a bit forlorn — this has been such a magical rollercoaster and I just wonder what’s gonna happen now that we’re already on the 28th chapter!

Okay, we’re at the start and El…

El’s not doing too good. As to be expected given she just walked out on her entire family. Not that I blame her, those bitches needed to fuck off with their toxicity.

Lea is the best boyfriend — driving all around town just so Elsa could sleep. God, this man deserves an award. Like seriously, he was DESTINED to be El’s BF. IF ONLY SHE WOULD WAKE UP AND REALIZE THIS. Ugh *pulls hair in frustration*

He brought her to the clocktower *swoons* and it’s friggin’ BEAUTIFUL right now. Ugh, Lea should become a therapist. For reals. This dude knows what’s up.

Seriously, El’s been through a lot and I’m just glad she’s not alone. What happened as HEAVY. Lea and his lollipops are a friggin’ godsend right now.

ELSA HONEY YOU’RE BREAKING MY GODDAMN HEART OVER HERE. YOU TWO CANNOT BREAK UP, FAKE OR OTHERWISE.

Oh gosh, my heart is breaking little by little. Lea not giving El the forehead kiss, them not knowing how to react to each other, El’s heart breaking a bit because Lea feels the need to leave now that they’re no longer fake dating — ugh, my heart can’t handle this. ;~;

And at long last we’ve learned what El’s favorite ice cream is! Clever name for it, too, playing up on the Frozen elements.

FOREHEAD TOUCHES *HEART SPASMS AND CLUTCHES CHEST* CAPTAIN, SHIELDS ARE DOWN 25% BUT STILL HOLDING.

NEVER MIND. FATAL BLOW. FATAL FUCKING BLOW.

HE’S KISSING HER. OH MY FUCKING GOD. I AM GONNA DIE HAPPY.

AND THEN SHE KISSED HIM. OH GOSH. *FACE IS ON FIRE AND FLUFF ASSAULT HAS BEGUN*

FRIDGE PINNING. IT GIVES ME LIFE. I AM HELLA ON BOARD WITH THS. I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED.

OMG LEA. LEANIN AGAINST THE DOOR. BEING A DOOFUS. “I WISH WE WERE REAL, TOO” — THIS CHAPTER IS KILLING ME AND IT’S EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN HOPING FOR IN THIS STORY!

*blinks* THAT MAKE-OUT SESH. HOT DAMN, MAMACITA.

. I’ma just let the Leasa smut play on a loop in my brain now and I won’t be complaining.

THIS WAS YOUR BEST CHAPTER OF THE WHOLE STORY. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I’m pumped for next chapter. Amazing update! KEEP WRITING SEXY LEASA.
