History Fanfic / WhatAboutWitchQueen

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10862383/1/What-about-Witch-Queen What about Witch Queen?]]'' is ''{{WesternAnimation/Frozen|2013}}'' ContinuationFic by Mapograph with massive (and by massive we mean ''[[LotsAndLotsOfCharacters massive]]'') number of {{OC}}s and a complicated GambitPileup in place.

* LotsAndLotsOfCharacters: The story has at least thirty five named [=OCs=].

* AdultFear: Friedrich constantly worries that he'll strike his wife or daughter in one of his UnstoppableRage phases. [[spoiler:His fears prove true. It's possible that Michael engineered it.]]

* AdaptationNameChange: Royal family of the Isles is called "von Schwalbe", as opposed to "Westerguard". Westerguard, on the other hand, turns into an island that Hans rules for his brother.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: Weselton duty in the eyes of Islander Navy. Not only the place is a week's swim from the capital, it's full of Weste, most of whom don't know Islander language.

* XanatosSpeedChess: Hans outright admits that he doesn't have any plan and just works with what he has.
-->'''Hans''': ''Planned''? [[spoiler:Dear Anna]], I thought you'd know me better! There's no ''plan''. I make it all up as I go along!

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Kai's father, baron Hakan Madsen, is said to look like elder statesman despite being in early forties, largely due to the fact that he grayed early.

* OhCrap: Three times in "''Steel and ice''":

* OriginalCharacter: The story is full of those.

* ThirdLineSomeWaiting: At first, Southern Isles plot and Weselton plot. Now Southern Isles became one of main plots.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Ferdinand and Hans appearance-wise, and Michael and Hans character-wise.
** Explicitly averted with Kai Madsen and his father. The former is mentioned to be [[YoungerThanTheyLook Younger Than He Looks]], while baron Madsen quite the opposite.

** Conversely, ''Fighting the waves'' is DarkerAndEdgier than rest of the fic.

* HappilyMarried: Friedrich and Lisa, despite his issues.

* IdiotBall: Prince Charles of Weselton seems to have caught it when Kai and Kristoff arrived. Honestly. He's [[spoiler:at war]] with the queen who can control ice, he knows what happened to Hans, and he knows that Elsa's patience has it's limits. And he still prolongs the negotiations to get better terms and claims that Elsa's ''weak''. His own son calls him out on this.

* TheSpymaster: colonel Hunter for Weselton and general-baron Madsen for Arendelle. The latter is much more likable, and seems better (or more loyal) at his job.

** Explicitely averted with Kai Madsen and his father. The former is mentioned to be [[YoungerThanTheyLook Younger Than He Looks]], while baron Madsen quite the opposite.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized[=/=]TheRevolutionWillNotBeVillified: Zig-zagged with [[spoiler:secession of Westerguard]]. On one hand, it seems oddly neat - although it helps that the Weste are all with revolutionists, and they are 90% of local population. On the other, ship sequester proves to be more bloody than anticipated, and ugly part of revolution - firing at once-friends - if briefly visited.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Few chapters end like this, notably ''Best laid plans...'' and ''Fugitives''.
* ContinuationFic: As is clear in description.

* EvilMentor: Berg turns out to be this for Kai. Played with in that he's honestly sorry for it.

* BerserkButton:
** Both Friedrich and Anna are prone to outbursts of hate whenever they have some news about Hans, although it's more [[UnstoppableRage visible]] with Friedrich.

* YourCheatingHeart: Eric's wife (and Hans' sister) is cheating on him with colonel Hunter. She might also cheat on him with Felix Drachner, although it's not confirmed.

* BadassGay: Prince Ferdinand. Even with one hand, he still manages to survive a giant storm and defeat two huge, armed guardsmen with no weapons.

* {{Adorkable}}: Kai has his moments, especially his antics on the horse (he can't ride at all). Surprisingly, Anna isn't.
** Ferdinand is a borderline example, what with his first attempt to apologize to Anna:
-->''Princess, I... Well, I believe one of us, von Schwalbes, that is, should finally say that to you, because, well, it's a disgrace that it's been over three months and we remained silent, that is, I understand Friedrich, that is the king, I mean His Majesty, had his reasons and that politics stand in his way, because not everybody would be happy about it, it being what I'm about to say, that is... ''[[GratuitousGerman Verdammt]]''. (...) I'm rambling, am I not?''

* OutOfCharacter: Anna gets hit with it hard, with most of her {{Adorkable}} qualities disappearing.

The story picks up two months after the end of the movie. Prince Hans arrives in the capital of the Southern Isles, arrested. His older brother, King Friedrich, is torn between punishing him as he should, and his fourteen very vocal siblings who demand justice to be served... to Elsa. Some of Hans and Friedrich's siblings decide to use the resulting chaos for their own schemes, and Hans has his own plans as well. Meanwhile, in Arendelle, there is a faction in the army that demands Elsa's powers to be put for a good use as a tool of war - and they don't feel like accepting "no" as an answer. And then there's mysterious smuggler Felix Drachner, who appears to have his hand everywhere, but how could he profit from the steadily growing chaos?

* AdaptationNameChange: Royal family of the Isles is called "von Schwalbe", as opposed to "Westerguard" as it was in the film. Westerguard, on the other hand, turns into an island that Hans rules for his brother.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10862383/1/What-about-Witch-Queen What about Witch Queen?]]'' is ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' ContinuationFic by Mapograph with massive (and by massive we mean ''[[LotsAndLotsOfCharacters massive]]'') number of {{OC}}s and a complicated GambitPileup in place.

-->''Princess, I… Well, I believe one of us, von Schwalbes, that is, should finally say that to you, because, well, it's a disgrace that it's been over three months and we remained silent, that is, I understand Friedrich, that is the king, I mean His Majesty, had his reasons and that politics stand in his way, because not everybody would be happy about it, it being what I'm about to say, that is… ''[[GratuitousGerman Verdammt]]''. (...) I'm rambling, am I not?''

* ArrangedMarriage: Played for laughs. Kai's father wants to arrange marrying Kai with Elsa. Kai is... less than thrilled. Rather terrified.

** Kai and king Charles both mention Elsa organizing weekly ice rinks in castle courtyard, like the one she made in the end of the film.

** ''Lucky Zephyr'' leaves Koenigsberg just before Friedrich orders to close the port, taking Hans with it.

* EvilPrince: Michael, even moreso than Hans. He wants to take over the Isles and has no qualms about murdering his own brother or sending eleven-year-own girl to almost certain death.

* FollowTheLeader: in-universe, Kai mentions briefly that young ladies in Arendelle started to dress in the same style Elsa does (which is more than a bit revealing compared to their usual attire), to men's considerable chargin.

** Entire Arendelle-Weselton situation. From bunch of soldiers planning to start a war to actual war nobody wanted.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Friedrich's daughter's name is Anna (although everybody calls her Annie), and Hans' late father shares the name with very much alive admiral Klaus Hauser.

** In Southern Islands, there are the princes, Friedrich's wife and daughter, captain Braun, sergeant Schneider, Valdemar Schwalzmaar and his wife, Gunther, admiral Hauser and everybody on the island of Westerguard.

* AutomatonHorses: Snow horses. Justified in that they aren't real horses, but {{Snowlem}}s made by Elsa.

** Please, don't threaten Anna when Kristoff's nearby. Don't even suggest threatening Anna.

** In a bit of FridgeBrilliance, with how power hungry Hans is, it would seem fit for him to introduce himself to Anna as a ruler of Westerguard rather than one of many princes of the Isles.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: It's implied that Von Schwalbe family is this. Among who we get to see of them, Hans attempted regicide, Michael considers killing his younger brother or seven-year-old niece to be par for the course, Margaret schemes to prolong a war and Friedrich has occasional attacks of UnstoppableRage during which he can't even recognize whom he's attacking.
When one of them has a mental breakdown, the others rush to him... because they want to grab the throne for themselves. Out of all of them, Ferdinand stands out like a WhiteSheep, and he considers his brother hugging him to be suspicious.

--->'''Seeker (in her head): A neutral pronoun. Of course, you probably don't know it, seeing how you are apparently ready to believe someone is making deliveries in the middle of the night.\\

-->'''Ferdinand''': He [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness hugged]] me!

* GoodIsNotNice: Baron Madsen is certainly on Arendelle side, but Olafsen implies that the man doesn't shy away from political assassination if he believes it to be for the kingdom's good.

** Author outright stated that [[CoolShip pendulum ship]] that tried to escape the sequester is ChekhovsGun waiting to be fired.

** Felix Drachner is mentioned so many times it looks like he's everywhere. His gun hasn't fired yet.

* NoNameGiven: Weseton's scout captain and Meyer's superior is never named.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized[=/=]TheRevolutionWillNotBeVillified: Zig-zagged with [[spoiler:secession of Westerguard]]. On one hand, it seems oddly neat - although it helps that the locals are all with revolutionists, and they are 90% of local population. On the other, ship sequester proves to be more bloody than anticipated, and ugly part of revolution - firing at once-friends - if briefly visited.

* {{Snowlem}}: Snow horses, made by Elsa. They look kind of like horses, but freeze the ground under them, need no rest, and are frighteningly fast.
