Author’s Notes: Considering how Elsa can literally give life to snow, I don't find it too much of a stretch that she might generally embody familiar objects with some sort of personality... Also, when she's not under all that pressure during the movie she comes across as at least a little geeky-awkward, and so I thought it's a quirk that works.
Summary: Elsa made many mistakes, but this one she might be able to put right.

Thank you to everyone who participated! You're now free to post your entries to your journal or wherever else you'd like. If you're archiving on AO3, you can add your work to our fan_flashworks collection there.

New challenge coming right up!

Thanks to somariel for suggesting our new challenge, which is

ELEMENTS

As always, how you interpret the prompt is entirely up to you!

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4 p.m. PST on Thursday, April 10th. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Finally, new in the world of badges: it is now possible to medal up to Silver in all of our SBIGTTS badges (and up to Gold in two of them)! Thanks to somariel for giving us this suggestion, as well. Check out the SBIGTTS section of the Badges post for details. (We'd eventually like to offer Gold level for all SBIGTTS badges, but we'd need them each to have at least 15 experiments for that to be possible. We'd love your suggestions for those, if you have them! Please leave them in the comments here, or on the badge post. Thank you!)

Title: Badge of Honour
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: PG
Length: 1,600 words
Content notes: Medieval terminology possibly slightly mangled because it's the middle of the night and I haven't checked myself...
Author notes: Clef/Umi, medieval!au, one the subject of retinues... I'll gloss the terminology soon if I remember, or ask me if nothing makes sense. (Clef's retinue slightly based on John of Gaunt's. But a fraction smaller. And highly HIGHLY simplified...) (Retinue, honour and affinity being used to cover pretty much the same thing in this, though at least honour is not really the same, save in context sort of it is here, er.) Livery badges were issued to members of a retinue, and various other people who you thought might do you a favour, or wear it to indicate that at the very least they weren't working AGAINST you - one of the best examples is the Dunstable Swan Jewel, google has plenty of pictures~ Also all the angels are wearing Richard II's badge in the Wilton Diptych, as are the saints and (I think) Mary and Jesus, because SUBTLE was not a thing he ever went in for? ^^ There was a load of kerfuffle over badges and who got to use them in England in the reign of Richard II in particular. And Some People *stares at John of Gaunt* had a badge which was a collar, to be confusing. XD
Summary: “I am not issuing new badges to the whole of my retinue just because you think a dragon looks more impressive than my crest!"
