Jar of Hearts - Iceland

Jar of Hearts
Snow Queen AU

I know I can't take one more step towards you,

'Cause all that's waiting is regret

Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore

You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

Emil and (Y/N) were always the best of friends. The two of them did everything together, "everything" mostly involving snow thanks to their home in northern Denmark. Whenever Emil had a problem, he would come and discuss it with (Y/N) and vice versa.

The two children grew up together. Five years old quickly turned to ten and the two of them were running around Emil's yard, chucking snowballs at each other and laughing hysterically.

Soon, Emil's older brother Lukas stood at the back door, calling the two of them in for hot chocolate and a story.

The two of them cheered and raced inside, stripping off their soaked coats and mittens and plopping down in front of Lukas' rocking chair. Mathias, Lukas' Danish boyfriend, sat down in the rocking chair and cracked open the spine of a book called The Snow Queen.

And who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

Ten years old turned into fifteen and (Y/N) and Emil were still best friends. When (Y/N) came to hang out, Emil was...different. Sure, he talked with her gladly, but he seemed distant. He would occasionally complain of a pain in his eyes and in his heart and she would jokingly respond, "Hey, maybe the Snow Queen got you!"

She would come back everyday after and he continually got nastier. A week after he first started complaining of the pain, he snapped at her. "I hate you, (Y/N)!" he screamed, "You're pathetic, thinking I actually want to hang out with you! I was just joking but you were too stupid to realize! Hálfviti!"

(Y/N) gasped, tears coming to her eyes. Biting her lip, she spun on her heels and ran out of Emil's house.

The next day he was gone.

I hear you're asking all around

If I am anywhere to be found

But I have grown too strong

To ever fall back in your arms

And I've learned to live half alive

And now you want me one more time

(Y/N) asked all around the town, seeing if anyone had seen any sign of Emil. She knocked on everyone's doors: The Kirkland-Bonnefoy's, the Honda-Jones', the Beilschmidt-Vargas', even the Vargas-Carriedo's! No one had seen him.

Finally, she came across the house of Romulus Vargas, the grandfather of the Vargas twins. The door swung open before her fist met the wood and she was quickly swept inside.

"Oh yes!" nodded Romulus, "He stormed out of the village late last night. Could've sworn he got swept up by a pretty woman in a sled. Probably a trick of the light, but I thought the sled started flying away!"
