Chapter Text
Frozen
“Anna, we’ve got to get you back to Hans,” Kristoff declared, holding the young princess close. It still didn’t make sense to him. He didn’t believe that you would instantly know that someone you just met was your true love. But that’s what Anna believed, and they were pulling at strings here. He didn’t want Anna to die. If there was any hope at all that Hans could help, then Hans was their best bet.
“Hans…” Anna murmured weakly, coming to the same conclusion that Kristoff had.
Kristoff took hold of one of Sven’s antlers, pulling both him and Anna up onto his back, “Pull us out, Sven.” Noticing Olaf still faffing about, he called out, “Olaf!! Come on!!”
“I’m coming!!” Olaf yelled, running up to join Anna and Kristoff, “Let’s go kiss Hans!” After a moment he continued, “Who is this Hans?”
Kristoff was about to answer and try to explain that Hans was Anna’s true love. The man whose kiss could save Anna from her fate. He didn’t have the time to. The next thing he knew they had been engulfed by a bright light, and he felt his stomach drop.
What had she done? What did she do? She was a monster. How could Anna still love her? How could she still believe in her?
A million thoughts running through her head, Elsa paced, muttering the mantra her dad had taught her as she rubbed her arms, trying to control her powers. Guilt and anxiety ran rampant through her as she held in her tears.
“Don’t feel, don’t feel.”
The doors of her ice castle burst open, she heard her snowman roar. Elsa flinched, noticing palace guards entering her castle. She wasn’t blind to what their intrusion into her castle meant.
They wanted to kill her.
Elsa turned around, running up the stairs to get to her throne room. She heard someone shout, alerting everyone about where she was but the voice was distant. Swallowed by the light that filled the entire room, carrying Elsa away from the people she now feared.
How To Train Your Dragon
“What are you going to do about it?” Astrid asked, egging Hiccup on. She wasn’t stupid, she knew he would do just about anything for Toothless. If she let him sit here, drowning in his anxieties and not doing anything, then he would never forgive himself.
“Eh, probably something stupid.” Astrid felt the tightness in her chest loosen up. Finally.
“Good, but you’ve already done that.” She couldn’t help the smile that was starting to form.
“Then something crazy!” Hiccup grinned, his smile practically splitting his face, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
“ That’s more like it!”
Astrid ran after Hiccup as he dashed off to start on whatever it is he was planning. They didn’t get far too far. And Astrid screamed as the blinding light made her trip, yet somehow, her face never met the ground.
Brave
“Oh no!” Merida gasped as she looked at the tapestry in front of her, realisation hitting her like a brick wall, “The prince became…”
Before she could finish her train of thought, she heard a sound. Turning around, she couldn’t help but yell as she saw the one-eyed bear stalking up to her, “Mor’du!”
She jumped into action immediately, shooting arrows at the former prince as she tried to get away from him. Her mum then jumped at the bear, attacking him as they both roared to scare the other off. Merida backed away, watching the scene before her in horror, she wanted to scream out, run, help her mum, do something, anything , but her legs would not move.
Her mum somehow managed to push Mor’du away and the two of them ran. “Mum! We need to get back to the-”
Merida never finished her sentence, her words cut short as she and Ellinor ran into a light and felt themselves getting sucked in.
Tangled
Rapunzel and Eugene danced through the town square. She had learned so much today, gotten so many new experiences! She was beginning to wish she left her tower earlier. Everything and everyone outside had been just so… good. It was nothing like what mother said it was! Out here in the middle of Corona, for the first time in her life, Rapunzel finally felt alive.
She couldn’t help but think of the doubts her mother had put in her head. A part of her wondered if her mother was maybe right. After everything they’ve been through, was Eugene still just here for the crown? Would he leave her if she gave it back to him?
She twirled into Eugene’s arms and he brought her into a dip. She could feel butterflies in her stomach (just like in her books!) and Rapunzel decided to trust her heart, she pushed all her worries away, deciding to trust the man in front of her.
Eugene raised her from the position they had been in, both of them blushing at their previous close proximity. Rapunzel shyly turned towards him to ask about the lights, when her vision went white. She couldn’t see anything and all she could feel was her stomach twisting. She screamed.
Rise of the Guardians
Jack panicked and threw a blanket over Sophie as her mum ran up the stairs. She wouldn’t be able to see him, but she would definitely be freaked out if she saw her daughter floating into her cot. This was the best he could do.
Closing Sophie’s window, he looked to Baby Tooth, smiling, “We should head back.”
They turned, ready to make their way back to Bunnymund’s and help out with Easter when Jack heard a voice calling out his name. He couldn’t place it, but it was so… familiar and it made his chest ache with longing.
“Tha- that voice- I know that voice.”
Baby Tooth chittered at him, begging him to leave it be, but Jack was barely in control of his actions, his heart wanting nothing but to be with the owner of that voice. Without a warning, he runs towards it, trying his hardest to get to it as it kept calling his name.
The voice led him to a rotted bedpost, but before he could question anything, a light filled the room and he was transported away.
Big Hero 6
It was him. It was his fault. It was him all along.
Anger ran through Hiro as he worked to fix Baymax’s sensor, his thoughts filled with nothing but his rage.
How could he? Tadashi trusted him. Tadashi wanted to save him but he just-
Hiro was going to kill him.
Once Baymax confirmed that his sensor was working, Hiro reached out to his port, intending to remove his healthcare chip once more. He didn’t expect to fight back.
Typical.
Of course even the robot wouldn’t listen to him. And now he was spouting nonsense about how Tadashi was here when he’s not. He’s not here. HE’S DEAD!
“Tadashi is here.” Baymax insisted and before Hiro’s eyes, he started playing the recordings Tadashi took through trying to make Baymax. Hiro could feel his tears welling up as he felt a heavy weight finally get lifted from his chest.
“Thank you, Baymax.” Hiro murmured, reaching out to hug the robot when suddenly, he felt the floor fall away from beneath his feet as a bright light burst into his garage.
Fairyland Theatre
Lilly was running around frantically, getting everything ready. She couldn't help but speak to herself as she did. A part of her was still torn on the decision that she made and she couldn't help but try and talk herself through it, trying to convince herself that yes, this was a good idea. Perhaps she should have gotten mother's approval for this. Or at least father's.
“Silly Lilly, in what world is it a good idea to let people see their futures??” She murmured, vocalising the logical part of her brain before she spoke again, this time her words following her heart, “We can just wipe their memories temporarily after this. It’s just… this will make everything so much easier for you when you eventually have to tell them."
She frowned then, realising something that her mother would probably judge her for had she known what Lilly was doing, " What of their people then? Must we really call them as well? I suppose they're not quite necessary but past princes and princesses have been abandoned and left behind by their families. Mother didn't see the problem in that but I don't think that's right. I'd be devastated to lose mother and father."
Lilly spent a moment in silence, thinking more on how she would argue this if it blew up in her face. She shook her head then, sure that she hadn't made a bad decision, "After they go through their changes, I still want them to have their families. I don't want the protectors under me to lose their lives. This will let their families understand them. I hope”
For a moment, it looked as if Lilly was about to argue with herself more, but a flash of light appeared on one of the higher platforms, followed by a shriek. She gasped, flying up a few metres as she jumped. She grinned, “They’re finally here!!! It's time!!”
-Hiccup-
Hiccup blinked, trying to regain his bearings after that unnerving experience. Shaking his head, he looked around, instantly seeing Astrid next to him, her face green from their travel. Yes… travel… he didn’t think it was possible but somehow… whatever that bright light was it had brought him and Astrid away from Berk. Instead, they were standing in a dark room which had lots and lots and lots of plush chairs. Near where he and Astrid stood were a bunch of oddly dressed people.
Noticing the other people as well, Astrid jumped to her feet, pushing Hiccup behind her as she raised her axe. Hiccup rolled his eyes. Astrid’s face was still an oddly green hue, she looked like she was about to hurl yet she was still trying to protect him. He was a viking too, Astrid!
Seeing Astrid with her axe, one of the girls jumped to her feet, quickly notching an arrow and pointing it to Astrid’s throat as her red hair flew wildly behind her.
“Who are you and what do you want? What did you do to my mum!?” She growled.
“I’d like to ask the same of you,” Astrid growled back, raising her axe higher.
“Well, except for the mum part, we’re not looking for our mums right now,” Hiccup added in.
The two girls glared at him for a moment before continuing to stare each other down. As they did so, Hiccup looked around, noticing a brown haired man help a horrified blonde (with the biggest, longest braid he’d ever seen in his entire life) to her feet.
“Elsa!” A redhead being carried by a blond man called out to a quickly retreating blonde with the same features as the redhead (sisters perhaps?), distracting Astrid and the curly haired archer from their stare off.
“Hiro, it is not safe,” a… balloon-like creature declared as he raised his arms. A familiar high pitched sound appears and Hiccup looks around in panic. A look mirrored in the face of the young boy next to him and he screamed.
“Wait- Baymax no!” He grabs on to the creature’s arms, pulling them down, and much to Hiccup’s shock, two plasma blasts appear from the creature’s arms, leaving holes in the ground.
Everyone bursts into screams and questions, and in the chaos, Hiccup hears a laugh behind him. He turned around to see a white haired boy balancing himself on a… stick?
“Man, you guys are violent.” He murmured, looking at everyone in amusement. Hiccup shot him an unamused glare and he jumped, as if shocked at Hiccup’s acknowledgement of his words.
As the group slowly descended into chaos, Hiccup decided to take a step back and sit down on one of the seats. He was not going to join in on this battle. He had other things to think about. Like how to get out of here and save Toothless.
“Okay, perhaps this wasn't quite my best idea,” Hiccup blinked, looked up to see the person who had spoken. She was short, around his height, but she didn't feel like she was around his age. There was something about her that made her feel almost timeless. There was something about her that just didn't feel human. And it wasn't the wings and the way she was flying in front of them either. It also wasn't the oddly flower shaped clothes she was wearing either.
Noticing that everyone's attention on her, the person landed, tucking her butterfly like wings close to her back. She crossed her arms, pouting as she attempted to look angrily at them all. Hiccup nearly laughed. He didn't know what she was really going for but Hiccup couldn’t help not feeling threatened. There was something about her that felt safe. Although... Hiccup probably really shouldn't be feeling that way . Dragons was bad enough. He really shouldn’t be making a habit of becoming comfortable around everyone who wasn’t a human.
“It hasn't even been a minute,” she pouted, looking up at them through baby blue eyes, “I leave you alone for barely One Minute.” She waved her arms, her curly brown hair flying with her grandiose hand gestures, “Off with the weapons. I need you all alive.”
Astrid’s axe as well as the archer’s bow and arrows and the balloon’s arm armour and every other weapon the group was holding disappeared - much to their chagrin. Their owners screamed in an angry outburst but she waved her arms again, shushing them. To Hiccup’s shock, everyone’s mouths remained shut, and the screams never came.
Well, his mouth wasn’t shut though. Maybe she liked that he hadn’t joined in on the screaming.
“Are you a witch?” He asked, the words falling from his lips before he could stop them.
She laughed, not quite expecting the sudden question. Her expression changed, the childish sulk melting away into one of the kindest faces Hiccup had ever seen. She shook her head, smirking, “Sorry to disappoint, love. I’m a fairy. I’d assume the wings would give it away.”
Oh- Hiccup was a dumbass. He was so stupid- Odin, how was he this dumb-
She laughed again, “Don’t worry, Hiccup! I’d assume you guys don’t really see much magic in Berk.” She ignored Hiccup’s shocked look at her casual use of his name in favour of flying to the middle of the platform they were standing, “My name is Lilly, Princess of Fairies, daughter of Oberon, King of Fairies, and Titania, Queen of Fairies.” She gave them a sheepish smile, “I’m terribly sorry for tearing you away from your lives as I did, I promise I’ll return you to the same place I took you from but for now, I need a moment of your time.”
She paused for a moment, almost looking like she was thinking of how to continue, “You see, I've recently been given one of my responsibilities as a princess. This one was to introduce new protectors - also known as Princes and Princesses, to their power and the responsibilities they will hold.” Hiccup saw the archer roll her eyes and Lilly must have too, because she sighed in her direction, shaking her head, “No, Merida. It’s not like being the Prince or Princess of a kingdom. It's not what your mum was trying to make you do. Princes and Princesses are just the terms that we've come to use for noble heroes who've earned a title and will, in the future, come into the power that they've earned with it. For example, if someone were to earn the title, Mermaid Princess, regardless of what they were before, over the years they would come to gain the powers of a mermaid, and maybe even become more and more mermaid-like. This is the type of change we expect will happen to you all. You’ve all done something, or will do something that will earn you the title of King or Queen. And my job is to make sure you understand what this means and give you the chance to explore your powers without you freaking out and thinking you've turned into some sort of demon.”
Lilly looked at each and every one of them, her eyes steeled (no, literally, they changed from blue into a serious grey), “I’ve summoned you here today to basically make my job easier for me. I will not be going into detail about how to use your abilities and the like. We can go through that when you have come into your powers. But for today, I wanted to show you and your people your stories. I want you and the people around you to understand why you’ve earned this, so that when you eventually come into your powers, you will not lose the support of the people around you. I will erase your memories of these events when I return you so as not to mess with the timeline, but when everything you’ve seen about the future has come to pass, your memories will return to you so that when your powers come, it won’t be too much of a shock for you.”
She smiled then, her wings flapping up and lifting her a couple of inches off the floor, “Well then, you’re going to be spending a lot of time together and learning about each other, so might as well introduce yourselves now.” She jerked up then, suddenly remembering something, “Oh! Right!! In this room, the harmful magic affecting your life will be paused. Elsa, Anna, Merida, you have nothing to worry about here.”
The three girls let out an audible sigh, the words lifting a weight from their shoulders. There was an awkward silence as the group fidgeted, unsure of what to do next. Finally, the red head with the braids waved her arms around, “I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! THIS IS TOO AWKWARD!” She squeaked the moment the words left her throat and then shook her head, deciding instead to smile brightly, “Hello! I’m Princess Anna of Arandelle, and this,” she waved to her platinum blonde sister, “is Queen Elsa of Arandelle.”
The blond who had been carrying her winced as Anna stabbed him in the stomach with her elbow - a firm order to introduce himself, “Kristoff,” he murmured, “If all of Arandelle is coming, you’ll probably see my reindeer, Sven, at some point.”
They went around in a circle then as they introduced themselves. The blonde with the long long hair was Rapunzel, the brunette Hiccup had seen helping her up was Flynn Rider, and they had a chameleon named Pascal with them who Hiccup had overlooked. The archer was Princess Merida of DunBroch, the little boy was Hiro Hamada, and his balloon companion was named Baymax. Astrid and Hiccup introduced themselves, and then Hiccup turned to the white haired boy who had stayed silent the entire time.
“And you?”
The boy jumped, once again shocked at Hiccup’s acknowledgement.
“Hiccup, who are you talking to?” Astrid asked.
Hiccup tilted his head, “Him! This boy here! The one with the white hair!!”
Lilly blinked, and then raised her hand up and slammed her face against it with a smack that resounded across the entire room, “I am such a dumbass! I forgot the spell! I'm so sorry, Jack. I forgot that people sometimes just didn't believe in every single brand of magic. I'll lift your invisibility momentarily.”
She murmured something under her breath, and suddenly Hiccup heard the others in the group gasping as they looked at the boy who they apparently didn't see before? Because they didn't believe in his brand of magic? There were different brands of magic? Hiccup didn't really get it but eh.
“Wait-” The white haired boy looked overwhelmed, “You… you all can see me-”
“They were always meant to.” Lilly smiled, “I just... forgot to cast the spell that lifted your invisibility for a little bit."
Merida rolled her eyes - though Hiccup wasn't quite sure why, before tilting her head at the white haired boy, “Well then, boy, what’s your name?”
“Jack…” he answered, floating off the ground slightly as a grin split his face, “Jack Frost.”
Lilly grinned then, clapping her hands, “Right! That’s introductions sorted!” She waved her hand, giving them back the weapons she had previously confiscated, “Alright then! I’ll go get your kingdoms and villages. You all can sit here to watch the movies. I’ll get Toothless to sit here too once I get him.”
With a flick of her wrist, she was gone. Hiccup and Astrid shared a look, but, realising they didn’t have a choice, Astrid went to sit down next to him. Slowly, everyone else came to do the same.
