The Cold War
"The Cold War" is an Alternate Universe fanfiction based on Disney's Frozen. The AU is mostly canon, with three primary differences: The AU's origin can be traced back to a post on reddit.com made by /u/funnycherry, in which the following question was asked: "A day with Hans: What would you do?"
 * Realism and Fantasy are used to add suffering to the story instead of relieving it
 * The lead Characters are reddit users and other characterizations of authors and friends

 * A Day with Hans, by /u/Leviro2005, in which Leviro tortures Hans.
 * A Day with Elsa, by /u/AdultSupervision, in which Adult Supervision tortures Elsa.
 * The Cold War, by /u/Thirteen_Fears, in which Arendelle and The Southern Isles go to war.
