Moomins Fanfiction Recommendations

So! I read and write a lot of fanfiction whenever I get into a new fandom, and thus far Moomins has been no different. In the interest of sharing some of my favorites, I thought I’d go through and put together a fic recs post.

Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list of all the Moomins fanfics I’ve ever read and enjoyed! These are just the ones that have stuck with me the most. The Moomins AO3 tag has really taken off recently, and I highly encourage everyone to browse for themselves and give these authors some love. If going through fandom tags makes you nervous, fear not! Here is a link to the filtered version that I usually use.

To start off, here are some authors who have written enough gems that I can’t pick just one:

Bloodsbane: Some seriously good Joxter&Snufkin content. The creme de la creme is definitely When All is Still in Winter, though. It’s still ongoing, and it’s fantastic.

Princex_N: Lots of soft content, generally short and sweet. They’ve written a few fics about Snufkin having chronic pain that I found interesting, as well.

oOmackybOo: More softness, and Joxter&Snufkin father/son content! Perhaps you’re sensing a trend.

And without further ado, here is a list of Moomins fanfictions that have utterly wowed me over the past month or so.

your heart is gold and your hands are cold, by taizi: Ongoing. Taizi is another author who’s written a lot of good stuff, but this fic stands out to me in particular. I love fae stories, and this one has just the right flavor of eerie.

All That is Given, by WritingIsMyCoffee: Ongoing. One of the best Snufkin/Moomin fanfics I’ve read so far. I can’t exactly call it a slow burn because they get together in the first chapter, but the way their relationship develops from there is just, *chef’s kiss*. Also the ending of Chapter 10 was a flawless gut-punch, and I’m not sure I’ll ever fully recover.

Yearn No More, by TemenCMoth: Ongoing. This one is about Snufkin and Moomintroll coming to terms with their feelings for each other after… let’s call it an unwelcome intervention from a meddlesome traveler.

A Little Pocket of Snow, by Gemi: Complete. A short and sweet fic about the Joxter raising Snufkin and Moomin. Kinda hope the author does more with it.

Divulgence, by mousesprings: Ongoing. Moomintroll finds out that Snufkin is one of the Mymble’s children, and Snufkin tells the story of how he went from living with his mother and siblings as a young child, to wandering the world in solitude. I love this fic’s take on baby Snufkin.

But One Doesn’t Say It, by Bumblebeebats: Ongoing. A lovely mutual pining fic in which Snufkin is terrified of people finding out he has emotions, and Moomin trying to figure out when is the right time to hold hands (hint: it’s all the time).

the joxter never took anything seriously, by punkbean: Complete. A Joxter-centric fic leading up to the epilogue of The Exploits of Moominpappa. The Joxter finds out he has a son, pines over the years he lost, and finally gets to meet him. All in all it’s a sweet fic with a nice take on Joxter as someone with the potential to be a good parent, which is my favorite take on the Joxter, honestly.

Son of Snow, by RunRabbitRun: Complete. I can’t get enough of Joxter and Snufkin content, apparently. The Joxter is a winter fae, and Snufkin is a spring fae but doesn’t know it. They meet on a beach one day. It’s not terribly dramatic for most of it, but the character interaction alone is a lot of fun.

wildflowers, by carolinaa: Complete. Snufkin returns to Moominvalley to find that the Moomins aren’t there, and no one knows where they’ve gone. Perfect story for tugging your heartstrings before giving you a nice, emotionally cathartic end.

feet of clay, by Tyranno: Ongoing. This one’s a fun one. The Moomins are traveling in search of a new home, and eventually come upon a valley healing from a recent fire. Snufkin is the local god of the valley, who Moomintroll befriends as he and his parents make their home there.

Floodgates, by blossombell: Complete. Moomintroll realizes that he loves Snufkin in a way he can never love Snorkmaiden. A sweet story about Moomintroll valuing his friends’ feelings before learning to value his own.

Give Me a Reason, by VoidofRoses: Complete. Another fae!Snufkin fic! This time it’s the whole family: Joxter’s fae, Snufkin’s fae, Mymble’s fae, Little My’s fae, they’re all fae! Winter!Joxter finds out he has a son, and heads to Moominvalley to meet Spring!Snufkin.

Formal Affair, by busket: Complete. Ms. Fillyjonk derides Snufkin’s uncouth way of life, so he crashes her fancy-dress party to prove a point and also give Moomintroll a night to remember. There is nothing about this story I don’t love.

Winter, Come Spring, by Grimmseye: Complete. Moomintroll wakes up in the middle of winter to find the Joxter raiding their kitchen. Hilarity ensues.

Nearly Nowhere, by Qpenguin98: Complete. Obligatory Invisible Snufkin fic! But in all seriousness, this is a nice one. It starts off sad and ends sweet; what more could you ask for?

cottonmouth, by luftballons99: Complete. Moomintroll and Snufkin get baked.

Your Freedom Isn’t Free, by AgentZee: Complete. A young Snufkin discusses the nature of freedom with the Joxter. Short and sweet.

Delicate, by Pyrrhuloxiac: Complete. One of the first fanfics I ever read. Snufkin and Moomintroll discuss the language of flowers. I keep coming back to this one.

Enjoy! I’ll probably add more as I find them.
