Big Sky Ranch - 18

Kristanna Modern AU Rated: Explicit WC: 1863

Chapter Index

--------------------------

Summer Solstice

Kristoff had what he thought was the perfect gift for Anna.  Despite her telling him she didn’t want or need anything, he’d stayed up one night after she fell asleep and shopped online on his phone.  As soon as he saw it, he ordered it right away.

The cabin actually had an address, so the package was delivered to the rural mailboxes lined up at the end of the main country road that led to his place.  He made sure that Anna was occupied when he went and retrieved it, and quickly wrapped and hid the box back in the cabin.   After that he picked up the accompanying gifts when he went on a supply run for some horse tack – her favourite box of chocolates and a bottle of her favourite wine – and stashed them with the box. 

He had their place all decked out with romantic lighting, candles and soft country music playing from the radio.  When she was done work, the guys were going to tell her that he wasn’t feeling good and was already back home.  Knowing Anna, she would immediately come home to see how he was doing. 

As soon as he heard her car in in the gravel park next to his truck, he jumped up from where he was sitting on the couch and grabbed a bouquet of flowers from the coffee table.  He took an excited breath then opened the door just as she was ascending the steps.  “Happy Birthday, baby!”

Anna smiled wide, eyes glowing brightly as soon as she saw the flowers.  She stepped in front of him.  “Oh, Kristoff, those are lovely.  Thank you!”

Kristoff leaned over and kissed her, lingering on her lips a moment before handing her the flowers and taking her laptop bag and purse from her to hang near the front door.  Inside Anna gasped again to see how he’d set everything up for her.  Her presents were on the table and the dinner he’d made was in the oven keeping warm.  She’d mentioned once her mother made an amazing baked spaghetti and meatballs with tons of melty mozzarella and he’d taken a stab at it.

She turned to him.  “I am really glad this is what you were doing instead of being sick.  I felt awful that you weren’t feeling well.”

“Sorry.  I wanted it to be a surprise.”

“All is forgiven.”  She smiled and turned back around. “I said no gifts,” Anna giggled, going over to the table and having a look at what he got her.  The chocolates and wine he left unwrapped but the small box was wrapped up.  “You are so sweet.”

“You deserve the world, Anna,” Kristoff said, walking up behind her and rubbing her shoulders.  “Really, it’s not much.  Just something I saw and really thought you would like.”

She turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down for a few sweet kisses.  “Can I open it now?” she asked. 

He grinned at her.  “Absolutely.  Then we can have dinner.”

“What’s for dinner?”

“You’ll see.  Go on, open your gifts.”

Anna let go of him excitedly and sat at her spot.  Kristoff sat next to her.  She picked up and carefully looked at the wine and the chocolates before setting them back on the table.  “My favourties!  Thank you, Kristoff!”

He smiled, eagerly waiting as she picked up the box.  “Sorry, I forgot to buy a card.”

Anna paused where she’d started to open the gift.  “Thats fine!  Those things are getting so expensive anyway.”  She turned back to her present and ripped off the paper.  The box just read the name of the tack shop he’d ordered it from so Anna opened it. 

She gasped when she lifted the lid and pulled the buckle out of the box.  “Oh, Kristoff!  I love it!  I wanted one of these!  Thank you so much.”

He smiled as she turned it over in her hands.  It was embellished metal with a sunflower in the middle.  As soon as he saw it, he knew it was the one he wanted to get for her because she didn’t have one yet and it suited her perfectly.  “Here’s the best part,” he said, reaching over to show her the middle portion of the buckle.  He pulled it out, sliding it out from under the sunflower where it was fasted by a magnet.  “It has a pocket knife.”  He flipped open the blade.

“Oh cool!” Anna’s eyes went wide.  “That’s awesome.  I could see that coming in handy if I’m out on the ranch with you.”

“Absolutely.  Or to protect yourself if you were ever in need.”

She smiled at him.  “If I’m anywhere with you I never worry about needing protection.”

He smirked in return.  “While that may be true, I just liked the idea of you having something in case you found yourself in a tough situation.  Or, as you said, just using it around the ranch, which I can attest comes in handy from time to time.”

Anna leaned over and kissed him.  “Thank you, Kristoff.  This is wonderful.  You spoil me.”

“No,” he sighed happily, kissing her quickly again, “you spoil me every day simply by being with me.”

She giggled.  “Now that sounds like something you’d read in a birthday card.”

His nose scrunched up playfully.  “It really does, doesn’t it.”

Her face turned a touch more serious.  “I love you, Kristoff.  So much.”

“I love you too, Anna.  More than you’ll ever know.”  He stood up from the chair.  “Do you want dinner now?”

Her eyes lit up.  “Sure!  It smells amazing.”

Kristoff went to the kitchen and pulled the spaghetti casserole out of the oven where it had been keeping warm and took it to the table.  He set it on a trivet between their plates and Anna gasped slightly to see what he’d made. 

He went back to the kitchen to each grab them a glass for some of the wine and returned to the table to find Anna with tears in her eyes.  Panic set in.  “What’s wrong, baby?”

She smiled at him, eyes glassy.  “Nothing.  Happy tears.  I just can’t believe this.  The gifts, the dinner… you remembered…”

He sat at the table.  “Of course I did.  It was on our first real date.”

Anna nodded, sniffing and wiping her eyes.  “It was.  And you’ve made it for me.”

“Well, I hope I did it justice.  Obviously, I didn’t have a recipe, just what you told me.  So I made the meatballs myself, got some marinara sauce for the spaghetti, and then layered it with cheese.”

“Perfect.”  She had gotten a handle on her emotion.  “It looks delicious.  Let’s dig in, I’m starving.”

-----

After dinner there was only one place they wanted to be, and that was tangled together in the sheets.  As always, it was beyond fantastic.  Kristoff had truly never been with someone as voracious as Anna, who was currently tracing her finger on his chest, and shit did he ever love that.

“Thank you for the best birthday of my life so far, Kristoff,” she said, her voice dreamy.

“Baby, I love you so much.  I aim to make all your birthday’s the best ones yet.”

Her hand left his chest and she pushed up on her elbow and looked down at him.   “You are too precious.”

“You deserve all the very best in the world, Anna,” he said with a smile as he sat up.  They still needed to put the leftover casserole away.

“So do you, Kristoff.”  Anna smiled back at him. 

He shook his head slightly, still grinning as he pulled his jeans back on.  After he did the fly and button, he fastened the buckle of his belt together. 

Anna was watching his movements as she sat up in bed.  “You mentioned that buckle was a gift from Sven?” she asked, gesturing at it.

Kristoff looked down at the buckle, memories flooding back.  “Sure did.  It was my eighteenth birthday.”  He looked at her.  “We were never really gift givers, but as soon as we graduated high school and were settin’ out to get ranchin’ jobs, Sven figured I needed one.”

“Forgive me if I’m wrong, it’s a boar, right?”

He looked down again and ran a thumb over the engraving, smile pulling at the corner of his mouth.  “Yeah.  A wild boar.  Back in the orphanage we were read stories about Norse Gods.”  He looked back up at Anna.  “The God Freyr’s sacred animal was a wild boar named Gullinbursti, which in Old Norse means gold mane, or golden bristles.  That was always my favorite story because wild bores were seen as symbols of strength, courage and fierce protection.”

“Ah,” Anna said, slipping on her clothes.  “That makes so much sense.”

Kristoff laughed.  “Yeah, I’ve always been a little hot headed when it comes to the people in my life.  Maybe because it was just me and Sven at the start.  Any time he got teased or bullied in school I put a stop to it pretty quick.  Had plenty of suspensions and almost got expelled once.” 

Anna fell in step beside him as they headed back to the kitchen.  “That does not surprise me one bit.”

He paused at the end of the kitchen island and gestured to the buckle.  “I love this thing.  Sven had it custom made and it cost him a pretty penny.  It’s pretty much the only material possession I have so far that I really care about.”

“That’s so sweet, Kristoff.  And Sven’s buckle must have been from you?  With the crow on it?”

“Raven, actually.  Yeah, I got it for him for his eighteenth birthday.  Same deal, had it custom made.”  He smiled.  “Ravens are associated with wisdom and insight, and I’ve always felt that he was smarter than me so it seemed fittin’.  He’s always had this quick way with thinkin’ and interacting with people that has so far escaped me.”

Anna put her hand over her heart.  “You two are the sweetest men, I swear.”

He chuckled. “Well, like I said, we ain’t gift givers so it’s the only present we’ve ever given each other.  I’m sure we’ll both be wearin’ these until they break, or we do.”

She cocked her head to the side.  “You know, I just realized I have no idea what to get you for your birthday.”

Kristoff smiled and pulled her into a hug.  “You don’t ever need to buy me gifts, Anna.  You are my gift.  Every day with you is a gift, and I cherish them.”

Anna hugged him back tightly.  “Well same here obviously, but you still got me a gift so you know I am getting you one too.”

He laughed.  “I figured.  Just know that you could give me a new pack of socks or underwear and I will greatly appreciate it as much as anything else you could get.”

Anna hummed.  “That gives me an idea actually.”

“Does it now?  What would that be?”

She laughed as she pulled out of his embrace and smiled up at him.  “I’m not spoiling the surprise, mister.”

In light of bill SB593 and that about this time last year was Smut Week prompting some awesome Kristanna fanfic, it’s perfect timing to share this Hidden Gem I just finished reading…

💎 Hidden Gem 💎

Good Cop, Bad Cop by @annas-hair-donut

E, 5 chapters. Imagines what life might be like for Kristoff (detective!) and Anna (devoted housewife!) as a married couple with a teenage daughter (unrepressed Elsa!) — pushing Kristanna to their limit and reigniting their spark. Steamy, thoughtful, transformative.

Another inspiring story from this author which is a perfect example that excellent stories with smut do not contribute to the demoralisation of humanity, but if anything can encourage empathy, reflection, acceptance, growth, hope — the good things that make us human — through the lens of one of our most human experiences.

Check out this under-appreciated fic and smother it in kudos and comments!

A Kristoff a day keeps reality away! ❄️🩵

Looks like I’m playing the Kiss Game! @firawren asked for a Kristanna #11 (a kiss to the neck) — I was going to draw but then this idea came to mind (I might still get the pencil out). I hope you like it, teehee.

Icecream, of course

The agitated thrum of cicadas was almost deafening as the heat rose off the path in distorted, shimmering waves. Kristoff ran his hand down the back of his neck to wipe off the sheen of sweat and wiped his hand along his pants leg. The shade from the towering tree above their bench provided little relief.

As always Anna had turned to food to displace her discomfort — icecream, of course. She ran her tongue around the top of the cone and sighed with pleasure as the frozen treat melted in her mouth, soothing her from the inside out.

Maybe it was the heat making Kristoff delirious but suddenly the thick air around him felt ice cold compared to the burning of his cheeks. He gulped down the rest of his icecream to soothe his dry throat but it just didn’t seem enough.

He stole a sideways glance at Anna only to notice that the weather was melting her icecream as quickly as it was thawing his resolve — a stream of creamy chocolate trickled from the corner of her lips and down past her chin into the depths of the neckline of her dress.

With a shriek of surprise Anna was knocked out of her icecream dream as something hot, wet and moving trailed along her collarbone! Kristoff’s golden hair skimmed her bare skin as he chased the drip up her neck, his humid breath tickled her ears and she erupted into a fit of giggles. Suddenly he was laughing too and peppered kisses back down and across her shoulder, attending every freckle.

Anna’s nose wrinkled as she booped his with what was left of her treat and promptly licked it off in one fell swoop.

“Agh!” he scrunched up his eyes and brushed off her saliva with the back of his hand before being hit with a firm kiss to the mouth. His eyes and mouth burst open in bewilderment but before he could lick his lips and return the affection Anna was tugging him by the hand into the hot sunshine.

“C’mon! I want more icecream!”

I love this adorable Kristanna snippet on-the-fly by the talented @firawren ! Thank you so much 💖 And what a great game to inspire some fun writing!

I’ll take a Kristanna #32 (A kiss while someone watches) please! And happy to return the favour 🩵

Oh fun! Thanks for the ask! Do you mean you'd like to write a snippet too, or are you planning on drawing some kisses? Either way, I'd love you to do #11 for Kristanna!

32. A kiss while someone watches

Kristoff had never expected there to be hundreds of people watching him on his wedding day. Of course, he'd never expected to be marrying the Queen of Arendelle.

The second they were pronounced husband and wife, all he wanted was to run off with her, away from all those eyes, to have Anna to himself in private, showing his wife just how happy he was to be her husband. But everyone was watching them.

Anna wasn't as concerned about privacy. The second they got out of the church, she grabbed his face and kissed him, hard. A wild cheer rose up from the crowd, everyone hooting and laughing as they watched their fiery queen kiss her consort as if none of them were there.

Kristoff circled his arms around Anna's waist and tuned them all out as he smiled against her lips and kissed her back.

Love Will Save You

Fanart for ‘Love Will Save You’ by @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots !

This is a great read with generous servings of fluff and wit, but also an inspiring story of the power of unconditional love and removing the stigma of mental health challenges. But really, she had me at Firefighter Kristoff and Anna has her own bakery - called Sprinkles!

The window design is inspired by the lighthouse scene in ‘Love is An Open Door’. I hope you like it!

🧡 Cowboy Kristoff! 🧡

Big Sky Ranch

Kristanna Modern AU Rated: M WC: 1829

In the foothills off of the Rocky Mountains, resides a generational Ranch known to all in the area. Kristoff, a humble hand on that ranch, works hard and enjoys his simple existence. It isn't until a new woman starts at the diner that be begins to acknowledge his loneliness and plans to ask her on a date. When his plans are foiled by a rival group of men, it sets events into motion that plunge Anna and Kristoff into getting to know each other through some very unexpected situations and their relationship blossoms as their lives begin to change.

--------------------

A/N: This had been my passion project for over a year, and is the most self-indulgent thing I have ever written. It is inspired by the ranch setting of Yellowstone and the rural area in which I live.

---------------------

Anna had only been working as a waitress at the diner for a week, and she was quickly learning what the biggest perk of the job was. 

It was the cowboys.

She’d moved to the small town only a month prior, desperate to get as far away from the city where her sleazy ex-fiancé was.  It was the fresh start she needed after wallowing about that cheating asshole for months.  Truly dark times they had been.

After finding a basement suite to rent since she wasn’t sure how long she would be there before she moved on again, she got the job at the diner, and was truly starting to enjoy life again.  And that was in large part due to the clientele. 

The town was surrounded by ranchlands.  Large farms spread out in all directions, and the roads were ruled by pick-up trucks and farm equipment.  Many times, Anna had gone for a drive to clear her head and she’d come upon some large tractor-thing, and she’d have to squeeze around the slow-moving vehicle in the wrong lane, or wait until it pulled into a pasture.  Even so, she never minded too much, because she enjoyed the drives and admiring the lovely scenery against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

And every day, rain or shine, groups of men came in for breakfast or lunch.  Most of them in the full cowboy outfit; cowboy boots, jeans, roper or plaid shirts, and cowboy hats.  And no matter the size or shape of them, they were all ruggedly handsome in their own ways.

And decent!  Anna had never met so many decent men.  They were all extremely polite and respectful.  They held doors and said ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and ‘ma’am’, and they always tipped generously even if they only had a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. 

Anna truly did love her job, even if was a lot harder work than sitting behind a desk all day like she’d been doing when she worked at that insurance company with her ex. 

That asshole could rot in hell.

Now Anna had her eyes open for a cowboy.  A lot of them didn’t wear any wedding rings, but that didn’t mean that they weren’t married.  She’d asked one of the other waitresses and was told they don’t wear them for safety, not wanting them to get caught in ropes or machinery.  And the ones that did wear them, wore those new rubber ones that could break if they got caught in something.   It made perfect sense to Anna.  Although it certainly made it harder to tell who was and wasn’t attached. 

Which was why for the time being she just had her eyes open.  She never outwardly hit on any of them for fear of hitting on a taken man.  She just hoped that one day, one of them might just ask her out.  And until then, she would more than happily take in all the eye candy.

*****

Kristoff yawned as he got out of his truck and stretched out his tired back.  Him and Sven got up extra early and treated themselves to breakfast whenever they could, and right now they had a short break before calving season when their days were a little less long.

The air was still chilly with the last of winter’s tenuous hold, and their breath came out in white vapors as they walked through the parking lot.  At least the snow was mostly all gone, and while that meant that him and Sven’s work load was going to ramp up, it was hard to argue with the sun shining bright after six brutally long months of snow-covered ground.

As soon as they stepped into the diner, Sven gave him a nudge with his elbow.

“New girl,” he said under his breath, and flicked his head in her direction as they walked to a booth along the front windows. 

Kristoff glanced her direction then turned to Sven and gave him a hard stare.  Ever since he got engaged, Sven had been trying mercilessly to set Kristoff up with someone and it was starting to get on his nerves.  The girl was really cute, sure, he just wasn’t interested.  He was too damn set in his ways to be interested.

They sat in their favourite booth, took off their cowboy hats, and set them on the seat beside themselves.  Kristoff ran a hand through his hair a few times, shaking out the hat line, and the new waitress came over straight away and set menus on the table. 

“Morning, gentlemen.”  She smiled brightly.  “What can I start you out with today?”

“Coffee, black, and a water,” Kristoff said.

“Same here,” Sven said, “please.”

“Coming right up.”  She gave them another bright smile and walked away. 

“City girl,” Sven mused.

“Yup.”  He’d heard her accent too.

“She don’t have a ring.”

“Sven-”

“Come on, man.  You livin’ like that ain’t healthy.  All alone in that cabin.  You should move back to one of the main houses.”

“You know I don’t like being around people too much.”

“You like being around me.”

“Yeah, well, you’re the one exception and you know that too.”

“You could make another exception,” Sven flicked his head to the counter where she was pouring them coffee, “for her.”

“If you don’t cut this out, I’m gonna strap you to that nasty old bull out in the east pastures.”

“Ole’ Bruce?”  Sven laughed.  “That bull don’t got any fight left in him.”

“I beg to differ,” Kristoff stated.  It was only a month ago that mean old brute had him scrambling for the fences when he charged Kristoff.  And of course, no one had been around to see it and they all told him he was making shit up.  That bull had it out for him, Kristoff knew it.

The waitress came back with the drinks and they ordered their usual; the cowboy breakfast.  It came with two eggs, three strips of bacon, a pair of sausages, hash browns, beans and two slices of toast.  Both him and Sven would eat it all and be starving by noon. 

They ate quickly and Kristoff pulled his wallet out of his back pocket since it was his turn to pay.  The waitress came back with the bill and a card machine which Kristoff waived off because he always paid with cash.  He gave her a pretty nice tip since she’d kept their water and coffee cups full.  He hated it when he was halfway through his meal and he had nothing to drink because the cups weren’t topped off. 

On the way out, when Sven wasn’t looking, Kristoff glanced in the waitress’s direction.  She had her copper hair in braids, and actually, was very attractive.  He always had been a sucker for freckles.  If he was interested in a relationship, he might ask her out, but he was more than content not having to deal with what came in having that sort of thing.

Anna watched the pair of cowboy’s head back to their big dually in the parking lot.  They’d been the best-looking ones yet.  Especially that blond with the big nose and the pretty brown eyes.  He was very handsome.  And built!  The guy’s biceps were giving that roper shirt a serious quality control test.  She felt a little flustered to suddenly think about what being with a man like that would be like.  Her ex had been on the skinnier side and nowhere near as tall.  Not to mention never really left her satisfied.  She had a feeling that the handsome blond cowboy sure wouldn’t disappoint. 

He didn’t really say much, he left her a very nice tip, and he did say thank you when she dropped off their breakfast, even if he didn’t say please when he ordered it.  Anna hoped she’d see him again soon and found herself hoping that he was single and looking.

~   ~   ~   ~   ~

Sven suggested breakfast again the next morning and Kristoff damn well knew why.  Still, it was hard to argue against a big brekky that he didn’t have to make himself.   They drove to the diner and sure enough, the attractive waitress was working.

They sat in the same booth and she came over a moment later with coffees and waters.  It impressed him a little that they didn’t have to order, even if was presumptuous of her. 

“Same as yesterday, gentlemen?” she asked, after she’d set their drinks on the table.

“You bet,” Sven answered.

“And are we sticking with sunny-side up eggs and rye toast?”  Both men nodded.  “Perfect.  I’ll have that right out to you.”

Kristoff found himself watching her walk away.  She sure had a nice smile.  Very friendly.  Good for getting better tips for sure.   And those eyes were something else.

“You should ask her out,” Sven persisted in a hushed voice.

He turned to Sven and scowled.  “No.”

“Why not?”

Kristoff shrugged and couldn’t really come up with a good answer. 

Sven heaved a big sigh.  “You know what, I give up.  You’re hopeless.”

Kristoff sneered.  “Like you pointed out, she’s a city girl.  Only one way a relationship with her is gonna end up, and that’s me being dumped after a week.”

“Maybe if you would just try-”

“That’s enough,” he said, very serious.  “I’m not in the mood.”

Sven scoffed.  “Fine, whatever.”

Kristoff looked down at his hands and started to dig some dirt out from under his thumbnail.  Sven had no idea what he was talking about.  Kristoff had always tried.  He did his best, even though he was pretty damn clueless about romance.  Which seemed to be why none of the ladies he’d gone out with stuck around long.  He did try, and it was never enough.  It had left him jaded about dating. 

Their meals came out quickly and they ate even quicker to get a head start on their day.  It was going to be another long one, meaning come Friday night, both of them would be more than eager to blow off some steam at the saloon. 

*****

Anna gathered up the tip the other cowboy had left on the table.  It was still very decent even if he wasn’t as generous as the blond.  Neither of the men seemed like they were looking for a date, so Anna gave up on thinking that either of them were single.  Like most of them, they were probably taken, leaving Anna wondered what she had to do to bag herself a cowboy.

Another waitress had been talking about going to a saloon by the highway at the edge of town on Friday evening for some dancing and asked Anna if she wanted to tag along too.  She accepted, giddy at the chance that perhaps she might have her opportunity there to get herself a date, even if she was warned that the crowd could get pretty rowdy.

——————————-

Kristoff woke well before the sun, getting an early start on all the things he needed to prepare before the winter set in and he would be unable to navigate the hundred or so miles to the closest settlement of people.

I don’t know what has inspired this, because I mostly read modern AU Kristanna fanfics (@loonysama (annas-hair-donut), @glassslippers-n-cowboyboots (flowersinherhair), @hiptoff @annaofthenorthernlights you’re all inspiring authors) and don’t look at sneak peeks for future Frozen sequels because I don’t want to ruin the ending for myself, be surprised and enjoy the moments we already have with these characters. But I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night the other week and this image filled my entire mind. He’s back again with an entire origin story, so guess I better post it!

Note to self: don’t draw weird things late at night!

It was so rewarding to create something for a story that meant so much to you @annaofthenorthernlights - from both our hearts!💕

Thank you @sunflowers-and-sandwiches for this absolute amazing lovely Kristanna fanart!

This is so beautiful and just brings across the intended mood of this fic so much! Come to think of this fic being one of my early writing...

I can´t find the words! 💜

Restless Heart on AO3 (rated T)

He had been on the road too long. And it had suited him well, until lately, when the dread of constant change of scenery slowly but surely pulling at him more and more, though he didn´t like to admit it…
