Spring God Snufkin - Tumblr Posts

Thaw

My first Moomin fic! I’ve seen a few posts in the Snufkin tag about the idea that Snufkin doesn’t return with the spring, he brings spring himself, and after watching “Moomin and Little My’s Adventure,” I had an idea of how to play with that concept a little more. I’m sure someone out there has done this before, but I hope you like my take on it!

Summary: After Little My is frozen by the Lady of the Cold (The Moomins, Ep 22), Moomin and Too-Ticky try to warm her up, but are unsuccessful. Will Little My be a block of ice forever?

“She’s still frozen!” Moomin fretted, staring down at Little My. He and Too-Ticky had placed her in front of the wood stove in the bath house, wrapped her up in blankets, and had even taken turns hugging her small, cold form, but she hadn’t warmed up even a little bit.

“I know,” Too-Ticky said, brow furrowed. “I don’t know what else to do, though. The Lady of the Cold is very powerful - I’m not sure even the Hobgoblin could undo her magic if he were here.”

Moomin made a distressed noise. “We can’t just leave her like this, though!”

“We might not have a choice,” she sighed.

“Well - well - oh!” His ears perked up as an idea suddenly struck him. “If there’s a Lady of the Cold, is there also a Lady of the Warmth? I bet she could de-ice Little My!”

“If there is, I haven’t heard of her,” Too-Ticky said thoughtfully. “But I suppose it does make sense.”
