Author has written 8 stories for Monsters vs. Aliens, Frozen, Hellsing, and Supergirl.

Hey there, so my penname is It's Almost a Secret, because that's true of this account. I have another account under the penname Sparkling Patronus (/u/754057/Sparkling-Patronus) which is where I used to write when I was younger. This account started out as a side project where I could write my MvA fanfiction, but after a while it pretty much transitioned into becoming the main account I write on. Mostly I just don't want anyone I know to figure out I kept writing fanfiction after high school.

So what can I say about myself? I love science fiction and fantasy and I'm always intensely interested in characters, especially female characters, who have powers that make them dangerous in some way. I like writing about their perceptions of themselves and also about outside perspectives others have of them. So that's kind of the type of subject you can expect to read about in any of my work. I'm not great at keeping up with my stories unfortunately, so my multi-chapters do tend to go unfinished, something I'm not overly proud of. Unfortunately real life tends to get in the way and suck up all of my free time, and by the time I come back I've forgetten what my intentions for the story were in the first place. That said I do try to come back and work on things every once in a while when I can, so even if a story seems abandoned I might still finish it in the long run.

That's really all I have to say for now. I'm always popping in to write new things when a fandom spikes my interest, so you'll see me around from time to time when the mood strikes.

To the Edge of Night by Wordmangler reviews
Once more hated and feared as a monster following her rampage in Vegas, Susan must fight to save a world that now hates her. With the very existence of the Monster Force and humanity in the balance, Susan will find herself tested in ways she has never been before, and must become more than she ever dreamed she could be as she and the other monsters confront foes both old and new.

The Sky Is Awake by simplesnowflake reviews
When the sea took their parents, Anna knocked on Elsa's door one last time... and Elsa reached out without thinking. Now those few words might just build a fragile bridge between two sisters for the first time in forever. Because Anna isn't very good at giving up. Re-imagining the three years in between- a series of oneshots of what could have been.

The Queen of Hearts by BeyondTheSea13 reviews
Elsa is struggling to adjust to her new roles as Queen and sister, but any progress she's made toward understanding leadership or understanding Anna is threatened when the unannounced arrival of a foreign delegation brings a multitude of old fears bubbling back to the surface. T for mentions of rape in later chapters.

Songs of Ice and Snow by thefireplanet reviews
There are burdens to being queen that have nothing to do with a curse. There are duties expected of the princess that have nothing to do with being a sister. And the course of true love never did run smooth.

Quietus by mimosa eyes reviews
In the days after Arendelle's thawing, much happens that we don't see. Fits within, then goes beyond, the film's closing sequence. Kristoff/Anna fluff, sisterly bonding, angst and character studies.

The Snow Queen: Love and Duty by Vellaen reviews
Sequel to Frozen: The Snow Queen. In the first year of her reign, Elsa has confronted her doubts about her powers and made new friends for her kingdom. Now she is faced with a new challenge that threatens the safety of Arendelle: one that will prove that not everything is black as night or white as snow, and even the most powerful magic can do nothing to solve a world of grey.

For the Last Time in Forever by Wordmangler reviews
The old stories say that winter is brought by the Snow Queen, alone in her castle of ice far above the world of men. But the old stories are wrong—she is not alone. High up on the mountain, the soul of summer lies entombed in ice, never to be released until the frozen heart of winter finally thaws. [Complete]

The Monster They Fear by kaiserklee reviews
Elsa makes good on her word. When her palace of ice is assaulted and her life is threatened, she decides there is no more right, no more wrong. She kills for the first time, and she only feels free. (A different take on the battle between Elsa and the Duke's men.)

Frozen: The Snow Queen by Vellaen reviews
Living for so long in fear of her powers, Elsa never quite realized that the most difficult part of being the Snow Queen might not always be the "snow" part. A story of magic and mystery... of desire and responsibility... of love and family.

Love I Can Possess by Wordmangler reviews
This sequel to "God Help the Outcasts" (my retelling of the movie) is about how Susan deals with being a hero, fame, and the loss of being able to fit into normal society. It also looks at how two people can mean enough to each other that they are willing to ignore physical limitations merely to be together. Plus more aliens! New monsters! Bob!

God Help the Outcasts by Wordmangler reviews
A more realistic retelling of the movie with the focus on Susan's emotional turmoil after her life is changed for ever. How does she cope with this extraordinary thing that has happened to her? Gone is the slapstick, and much of the comedy, replaced with a focus on character development and careful factual research to make her story and her emotions seem as real as I can.

Sometimes what frightens us most are the monsters we create for ourselves. One New Yorker finds that monstrous appearance and monstrous intent are two entirely separate concepts.

AU. What if the meteorite had not hit on the day of Susan's wedding? What if the incident had instead occurred 8 years later, when she was already married with a child? The stakes are much higher this time.

Atypical reviews
There are some things in life there's just no planning for, no matter how many possibilities you anticipate. A mother reflects as she shares a moment with her rather atypical daughter.
