Village-Grilled Sausage Links

Anonymous

Summary:

Klas and Kenneth slip off into the woods together for some alone time with their... grilled sausages.

(Missing scene, drabble)

Notes:

Got obsessed with this musical and the moose hunting team. Hopefully I'll write more about them, but if not, please accept my contribution to the fandom.

See the end notes for two translation notes. Please let me know if I'm missing any information as I am not a Swedish speaker, and rely on fan translations. Thank you!

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

Work Text:

Kenneth had cleared the ground behind the barn as efficiently as talko: the area was free of rocks and branches. Tucked between the barn and a hill, they would be safe from Kurt's watchful gaze.

Kenneth looked up at Klas and laced their shaking hands together.

"I've always wanted to hunt moose with you like this," he whispered.

Klas swallowed. Kenneth's breath ghosted over his chin like steam from the juntton's fresh-baked berry pies.

Behind the pair, the moonlight reflected off the birch trees.

There was a gasp; a moan.

 

Late into the night, the pair grilled sausages together.

Notes:

talko - Fennoswedish word for communal work. Comes from the Finnish word talkoot, which in turn comes from the Baltic (Latvian/Lithuanian) word talka
juntton - Fennoswedish word that can refer to a military junta or a sewing group. Used in the musical Gambämark to mean both simultaneously. At this point in the musical, Klas and Kenneth are unaware of the military side of the group. Thus, Klas is only thinking of the pie-baking when Kenneth approaches him.

Thanks to the KAJ Archive Discord community for clarifying the terminology for me, and KAJ for introducing me to the Vörå dialect of Swedish!
