This might just be the shortest epilogue I've ever written for something, but it just seemed like the perfect place to stop, so there you have it.


An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart.

It was in the same moment that she realized how to save her kingdom from eternal winter that it dawned on Elsa what her center was.

Love.

She became an official Guardian on the same day that Anna and Kristoff had the first of their two weddings, one in Arendelle's chapel and the other with the trolls. In the year that followed, Jack was named the kingdom's Prince Consort, and later, its King, the coronation ceremony taking place only hours after his and Elsa's wedding, which people said was the event of the century, and her veil in and of itself was arguably the most beautiful ever seen in the history of Arendelle's royal weddings. Anna had been mostly responsible for it, refusing to let even Elsa see it until it was already on her head the day of the wedding, and she had personally seen that it was modeled after the cape of her sister's ice dress, with the same snowflake patterns and the same brilliant way of glittering in the light.

Hans was taken back to the Southern Isles by one of the dignitaries who had come to Arendelle for Elsa's coronation, and although they never heard what became of him, they all assumed that it involved his brothers and was not very much fun for him, just as it clearly wasn't very much fun for the Duke of Weselton when Elsa cut off trade with his people. As for Pitch, he was put into an isolated cave in the mountains that few people knew the location of and even fewer had the means to actually reach, then sealed away using a combination of powerful magic and ice. "After all," Jack said to him on the day it happened, "cold and dark go together so well. Don't they?"

And that, as they say, is the end of that.
