Why this must be read:
This is a lovely atmospheric AU that feels both old and timeless. It also has some interesting Scandinavian themes, which I've never seen in fanfiction before.
If his mother and grandmother were surprised to see him, they hid it well. After dinner, Justin sat out on the porch with his grandmother, watching the horizon while she rocked in her chair, knitting a sweater for the winter months. "Sometimes," she offered gently, "when we seek answers, we do not like what we learn."
Justin's shoulders tensed and he scowled out at the water. "I found nothing."
"The strömkarlen are neither good nor evil, Justin. They, like most beings on the earth, simply are."
Justin turned his gaze on her, brows knitting in confusion. "What would you know about that?"
"I wasn't always too old to walk farther than the edge of the property, Sonson," she said, smiling faintly. "You must follow your own path. I only ask that you try not to block so much out that you let nothing in."
