Finnish Witch

Summary:

English version of my Satu Järvinen in season one of ADoW fic.

Notes:

I got into habit of writing bilingual oneshot fics (one chapter in Finnish, another in English) but I felt like writing about Satu during the first series, in a more extensive way than a one shot. So I'm writing this fic in both Finnish and English as separate fics.

So, I apologize for the double updates in the future. At this point I think each episode gets a chapter. Might contain bunch of weird Finnish complaining.

Chapter 1: Equinox

Notes:

This chapter is a direct translation of that Finnish fic. It's possible my approach will start to differ in later chapters because of the different audiences of an English and Finnish language fic, but right now it's a translation.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Satu Järvinen has worked hard in order to get to this point. Her mummo[grandma] taught her all she knew of magic and the rest she learned herself. She still remember those days of her childhood that she used to learn to fly. She is powerful and has earned her place at the Congregation.

For years now Satu has lived alone in a cabin by a lake so that she could practice and use her powers without problems. But that's not odd in Finland. Everyone would like to live like this, near to nature, in peace. Finland is a great place to hide.

Satu is getting ready for the Equinox. This day gives her powers some extra kick and it feels good. The aurora borealis healps too. Sometimes she just takes a moment to enjoy Finnish nature.

But she was planning on spending this day alone. No one should be here. So when Satu notices a strange man on her land with a gun in hand, she hopes that her time has come. Well, strange men have to right anyway to come to her lands armed, yelling about her witchiness like that's a bad thing. She thrown her puukko [knife] to the hunter's leg and burns him in a fire. There are limits to even 'every man's rights'.

Of course Satu knows Peter Knox, the head witch of the Congregation. She is not surprised that this was an almost set up thing. But Satu doesn't regret waht she did. She hasn't bothered any of the locals, so this random drunk that thinks it makes sense to come visit a so called witch to try and kill her most likely earned his fate. The disturbance Knox mentioned wasn't a surprise to her either.

They travel to England, to Oxford and the scenery is beautiful but different to what Satu is used to. They find a local witch from Oxford, Gillian and Satu feels like she is a bodyguard. She likes that feeling. She is also very interested in this Diana Bishop. She must be very powerful. Satu looks forward to meeting Diana and to her trip to Venice. She has worked her whole life towards this. She has a feeling that the times are changing soon. She can't wait to see what she finds out.

Notes:

Please ask if any of the Finnish stuff is confusing.
