Everyone gets whatever they can take from the shipping container of Imperial Guard surplus I've brought in. (The ship is St.Celestine/Malakim Phoros.)

That was supposed to say "metallic powder down". Think of the kind produced by parrots or herons, but from Skarmory's iron feathers!

On further inspection, it looks like it's an unfired round, sent here by random Warp activity. I hope no one needed this.

I have two elemental agents as well, well, agents-to-be (one has earth powers, one has gravity powers, they'll be partners), but I don't have Permission yet.
So for now, I guess I'll just have to find some extras among my canon brethren and convince them to hide their faces so no one gets alarmed. Be right back. *portals to Wolfenstein 3D*

*ten minutes later* What do you mean, that's an unrealistically short time to build a fortress?
Now all I need is an army to defend against the inevitable siege - oh, and I'd better make this snow fireproof to stop it burning down.
Catch me if you can, Twistey! What could possibly go wrong?

You didn't waterproof it, though. Hey Edward, free goodies from Castle Wolfenstein if you soak that fortress to the ground.
And just in case if not... you didn't fireproof the snow on the ground either. The snow that your fortress is built on. Alright brothers, let's tunnel through the floor and take this baby from the inside out! *ceremonially T-poses and begins digging through the snow*

Oh, and Edward, I think you'd be most interested in a 1-Up, which gives you the chance to come back from death one time. Over in Wolfenstein, that's no big deal, but in continua where you only have one... Good deal, ja?

And I’m running out of ideas now. My snow army is probably useless now, but there’s no sense in wasting all my effort building them. Snow army, attack!
Edward, if you accept that offer, I will find the nastiest badfic I can which isn’t already claimed...
You already did that with the whole “princess of the unicorns” thing. That’s our forthcoming first mission.
I will make you go through every chapter of that thing, not just the something-teen you managed.
Well, the idea of coming back from death is very tempting, but so is the idea of all my missions being absolutely nightmarish. And I do have ways of escaping death, even if I can’t outrun it forever....
...give me some time to make up my mind.
In the meantime, I think I may need to get out of here...

You didn't make that one fireproof! Haha!
And to Edward, what if I throw in a nice, pocket-sized flamethrower to make that nightmarish mission easier to end?
*A decoy gasps.*
Don't worry, brothers, I took it out of one of the defective ones. We don't like a defect in this business, ja?

Keep digging.

Unfortunately for you, I am definitely not sane. Seeing as you’re going to break down the fortress anyway... actually, there’s an idea...
If Edward soaks the fortress, will it have any effect on the decoys? Worth a try, anyway...
And I promise not to make future missions *too* nightmarish. Just let me get out of here first...
*climbs out of the back window and runs*
*Edward soaks the fortress*
Pity about that. *builds snow wall, making sure to fireproof both it and the ground underneath* -

It might screw up their flamethrowers, but nothing else, really.

Another thing I really love is the old stop-motion Christmas movies made by Rankin-Bass. This'll sound incongruous until you read what I mean by this, but this one in particular's even got an elemental war in it. Check it out.

And here's both of the musical numbers relevant to said elemental war (warning, it may seem a little Uncanny Valley since you're not used to it): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGlPnAiCk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGlPnA_iCk

I suppose in the vast world of fandom it’s hardly likely that we’d be the first ever to come up with this idea.
Forget my real appearance, that’s quite normal and not at all snow-queen-like. Instead...
Long, perfectly straight white hair, dressed all in white, a crown made of icicles... maybe knee-length Black boots... white fur shawl...
And of course, transport in a sleigh with reindeer.
If you can draw that. I can’t draw to save my life! -

Except maybe without the white hair, since it's supposed to be identifiable as Snowblaze. Maybe there's some ice/snow in your hair, like Elsa.

No, really. Jelly Belly makes chocolate frogs as well as a number of other Harry Potter-inspired candies. I got myself a frog while I was on vacation, and the collectible card I got was Slytherin.

"Above the Northern Lights" by Mannheim Steamroller (the band famous for making Christmas covers with a bunch of synths).
It's completely original by them, but you probably won't have heard it unless you have Sirius XM and you tune to the Mannheim Steamroller channel that got set up for the holidays. I admit, that's how I first heard it.
I don't know why, but this song just gives me the chills. It just has beautiful imagery in the lyrics and the melody is so peaceful. I'm not sure how to make a filk of this, but I bet somebody could. In the meantime, enjoy the song.

In Warhammer 40,000, the Imperial Guard is the main human military force, known for its incredibly low survival rates, think stormtroopers in Star Wars. The shipping container is a dumb pun about shipping, but it's probably full of laser weapons and flak armor.
Saint Celestine is a key Imperial religious figure, who arrives to save Imperial forces when defeat seems certain, usually by soloing some huge monster.
Malakim Phoros is the Chapter Master of the chapter of Space Marines known as the Lamenters. They're super cursed, and tend to be the victims of implausible disasters, but they carry on their solemn duty regardless, hoping that they might save others even if they cannot save themselves.
P.S. The song you linked is pretty good. -
Okay, so I'd like some laser weapons. by

I'll take 'em back to the lab to experiment on them so I can build different laser weapons out of them, if that's alright with you.
