rec'd on fancake

Author's Summary:
After the discovery of her ambient magic, Elsa was sent away from Namorn to study, leaving Anna alone in the wake of their parents' deaths. Years passed and, with Elsa's return imminent, Anna will have to navigate a delicate political landscape with a sister she barely knows to facilitate Elsa's arrival to Berenene's imperial court. Expectations are whirling and rumors already fly. The last time an ambient mage-heiress arrived from Winding Circle, she didn't exactly set a good precedent.

Review:
If you liked Will of the Empress, this is a must read!  I really liked it and it was nice to see some development of the unresolved cultural/political problems in Namorn at the end of Will of the Empress.  (Knowledge of the Frozen universe is not necessary.)

Title: Love Worth Waiting For
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] BooklandReeve
Fandom: Disney (Frozen and Mulan crossover, plus assorted Disney cameos)
Genre: Romance, Soulmates, Soulmarks
Pairing: Mulan/Elsa
Length: Medium (15k+ words)

Author's Summary:
Every child is born with the name of their true love in the palm of their hand, but the marks on the palm of Elsa's hand are broken and meaningless, and it must be kept secret.

Review:
OMG, I love this. I work at an elementary school so I'm totally sick of Frozen and want to cry every time someone starts Let it Go, but Mulan is my favorite Disney princess so I wasn't going to pass this one up and, luckily, this fic is gorgeous.  As far as Soulmarks go, I usually prefer the first words variation, but I really like the way the language barrier works in this fic, especially with Elsa's canon character arc.  Also, f/f Disney princesses :)  Also, cross-cultural romance :)  And the characterizations are fantastic!  This is still a WIP and I might up the score on this one depending on how the author finishes it up.

Author's Summary:
"Wait, no, wait, don't shoot!" Belle cried, hopping and untangling a cord from her foot as she followed the robot into the workshop. "Chip, it's all right, she's the ship's security officer. She's a friend."

Review:
I am finding out that I maybe have a small weakness for Disney Princesses in Space fics. I somehow missed this one last Yuletide. This one is very short, but I like the little the small details of world-building in particular.

Review:
Great adventure fic, good slow-build romance fic.  Could use more culture and a little more of that Disney fantasy, but that's just my opinion.  Otherwise a very well-written fic.

Title: Talk of the Town
Author: [livejournal.com profile] norah 
Fandom: Cars
Genre: Romance
Pairing: Sarge/Fillmore
Length: Medium (Words: ~5,500)

Summary:
None.

Review:
Adorable one shot.  Seriously a must-read.  I know it's not a popular fandom, but this fic is awesome.  It really captures the history - not just of Rt 66 like in canon, but also of the Vietnam War era.  The friends-to-lovers romance is understated but awesome, and the characterizations are great.  Even if you never read another Cars fic, give this one a try.
