TV SHOW WOLF HALL COUPLE RAFE (TBS) X READER RATING FLIRTY

Writer notes: I'm sorry guys this seems to be like the only gif I can find of rafe, no clue why people are so unaware of wolf hall it's an amazingly written show with brilliant story telling and direction, not to mention TBS and Tom Holland on screen together having conversations and being beautiful tudor boys in some very tight even for the period tight pants, okay complaint over,

I smiled as I stood fixing the piles of hay in the little barn for the horses humming my little tune along with the baby birds in the nest in the roof when I heard the door open and close

"'ello?" I ask

"Hello" a family voice answered

"'ow was it mi' lord?" I ask as I work

"alright, firstly what is your problem with h's?" Rafe asked leaning on the wooden pole that separates the stable from the walk way "secondly, it's my lord not mi' lord you know that" he says and I blushed hard looking at my work "thirdly, you know you don't have to call me that darling" he says putting his hand on my chin pulling me to look at him "but it was fine, nothing out of the ordinary darling"

"Then why 'ave you come to see me?" I ask and he just glared at me "why have you come to see me?" I ask

"Better" he smirked "it's been a long boring day" he says "time for a quickie?"

"I'm sorry mi' lord I'm busy" I answered going to turn away but he trapped me between him and the wooden wall of the stable

"Liar" he smirked "come on I'm not asking for a freebie darling" he smirked getting a shinny coin from his pocket he smirked handing it to me so I looked checking it was real much to his annoyance but I looked closer

"I told you rafe, inflation I can't afford to live off a 'alf crown a go" I tell him "you been to market lately, it's almost a sovereign a loaf of bread now"

"Ohh come on y/n, I only want a quickie? Plus come on its me, I thought I was on... Discounts" he smirked

"You where, not anymore" I tell him

"Ohh fine" he sighed digging around in his pocket a while "I have a half crown, two shillings and a sixpence?" He says

"That will do, as it's you" I smiled taking the coins putting my work down and dragging him into my little room with me and pushing him down on my little bed ...

I smiled as I worked sweeping the stable floors with my little broom

"Hello darling" a familiar voice smirked poking his head around the door

"Hello rafe" I laughed as I swept him quickly coming in and giving me a kiss as I worked "how did it go?" I ask

"Ohh alright, had a meeting with another bunch of idiots, paperwork, rode all the way to bloody Peterborough and back" he complained

"Ohh you poor thing, that's an awfully long way" I said

"It is a long way darling, I missed you" he says

"What? All those girls between here and Peterborough to expensive for you rafe?" I ask

"No, I just missed my favourite girl" he winked "I wanted to wait till I got home to my darling"

"Liar, how many stops rafe?" I ask

"None, I promise, check with Gregory you don't believe me," he laughed "besides, I was saving my money" he smirked getting something from his pocket "one sovereign for my pretty lady" he smiled I was shocked checking it over it was real

"Rafe that's far to much" I told him

"Give me the Change then" he laughs

"I can't, knowones come to see me since you've been gone so I haven't got anything" I explain

"Aww that's alright darling" he smirked flipping the coin in his hand and putting it between my breasts thought the top of my dress "you can own me" he winked dragging me to my little room

[jiubilant]

elf practice

satu and nurura are @zurin's characters <3

[jiubilant]

WAIT I have another. 18 + 20 for Rafe & Alf

ok this one made my day lmao. these two are my favorite bumbling side characters

18. Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?

well the big one is that lasa and ravi are alf's grandmother + great-uncle respectively :) the velothis for 'grandma' is 'gahma' (elision of 'gahama,' grandmother); the language doesn't have words for 'aunt' and 'uncle' that are distinct from 'mother' and 'father'—if drevis neloren, say, were your uncle, you'd call him 'ada drevis' in velothis—so alf calls ravi 'gahda' (elision of 'gahada,' grandfather). he haaates ravi but he's always carefully deferential and mindful of his honorifics lest ravi write to lasa that her lout grandson isn't on his best behavior

20. Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

excerpt from a wip about young rafe and shurri! this one's been sitting around half-done forever

not that rafe and shurri don't wind up great friends—they do—but after she shows up he forever feels a bit like the second-favorite child

[jiubilant]

rafe's surname is "foy" (middle french for "faith") and that's about as much consideration of symbolism that ever goes into my character-naming process

[jiubilant]

wip excerpt ft. dinner and a show

@profanetools​ tagged me a bit ago to share an excerpt :) thank you!

high king istlod held his konunleikar five years before his death. skyrim's politics at that point were partisan enough that many of the holds made only cursory gestures of fealty and festivity but all of haafingar celebrated with varyingly bloody sports. ravi grumbles about it to this day because rafe got kicked by a horse (at the hestavíg)

torygg didn't live long enough to have a konunleikar...that boy would have loved getting kicked by a horse at the hestavíg

“You’re sure,” says Shiv’s father after they’ve made so, so many fishcakes, “you want to do this?”

Shiv, her hands full of cod-and-leek mince, stares at him. “Da.”

Her father spreads his hands—which are, like hers, sticky with fish and flour. “We can still eat them.”

In the frying-pan on the fire, the last of the fishcakes sizzle in agreement. When summoning one’s ancestors on a day of ceremony, it’s Velothi custom to make enough food, be it fiskekaker or a more traditional dish, for both the living and the dead. According to Da, anyway. Shiv thinks, surveying the crispy golden patties heaped on every platter and trencher they own, that they’ve made enough food for the living, the dead, and the entire street.

“Sure as harbors,” she says, and drops the cake she’s shaped into the pan. It hits the ciciliani oil—haggled in Dockside’s only Hlaalu market for a price that had made Da smug—with a fragrant, leeky hiss. “Why?”

“When you were younger,” says Da, toweling off his hands, “you didn’t—”

“—I was pit-a-pat of vexatious spirits,” says Shiv breezily, “and suchlike. Most mortally frighted of the immortal. And now I en’t.” She peers into the pan, then nods down at it. “Fini.”

Da, sensing another pun, gives her a suspicious look. Then he brightens.

“Ah,” he says. “Finny.”

He fishes the cakes out with the serving-fork. Shiv dunks her hands into the washbasin. It’s a parry, her spinnery about spirits and such, and they both know it—which is why she’s grateful that, while Da plates and she dries her paws, the space that is hearthroom and home office to the only lettered coves on Beefskid Street is warm and comfortable and quiet.

“If you’re sure,” says Da at length, quietly. “As harbors. Come here.”

He’s sitting by the hearth. Shiv sits across from him, sweeping the hearthstones with the great broombrush of her tail. She watches Da cap the bottle of oil with his thumb, turn it upside-down, then swipe his thumb—shining, now, with ciciliani—through the ashes in the hearth.

Then she gives the nearest platter a wistful look. “Kitchen-physic first?”

“After.” Da studies her as if contemplating how to do her makeup. “Look at me.”

Shiv looks at him. It becomes more difficult, up close, to look at him. When she was a scrib, the lines in his face had been fainter, easier to mistake for the tracks of a nearby smile. Now the hearthlight, honest as a scolding aunt, casts him in disturbing relief: an old man as full of grief as the cup that, just last week, some greenhand drunk on shore leave had thrown in his face.

(He’d been Velothi, that boy. He’d seen Da’s Company chain.)

She must have let her thoughts onto her face, some, because Da smiles at her in the usual way: calm and purposeful, as though he parcels out his waning stock of smiles by need. He likely does. He’d smiled at the greenhand, too, ghastly in his courtesy, ale dripping in foamy gobs down his chin.

“Chin up,” he says.

It’s a bene excuse to look at the rafters. Shiv shuts her eyes when he cups her face and touches his thumb to her brow, mostly so he won’t get grit in them, but also because the gentle pride in his hands makes her whole face hurt. A clump of ash crumbles down her nose. She wrinkles it—

“Here is my child,” says her father in the language of Veloth, with which fire converses with air. The words are simple. His voice is simple too, hoarse and glad and warm, pronouncing the prayer without pomp. “I commend her to you. I ask that you guard and guide her with love, with patience, with prudence, and that you bless her with the wisdom that you learned in life. Say hello.”

This last, Shiv realizes after a moment, is meant for her. She cracks open one skeptical eye. “To the glim?”

Da’s accustomed to her phraseology. He smiles again—softer, this time, and in the wry way that always makes her think of Auntie. “It’s polite.”

Shiv glances sidelong at the fire. For several years she’s slept by the hearth, cooked oatcakes on the stones and porridge in the pot, warmed her hands above the friendly heat of the glimfenders. It’s almost easy, she thinks, to see the fire as Da sees it: alive, listening, a door through which the dead look out.

“Hullo,” she says to the hearth. She flicks back her ears, uneasy and intrigued, then clears her throat. “Made you fishcakes.”

The fire crackles. A twig crumbles in the grate with a sighing hiss.

“D’you feel different?” asks Rafe the next morning. His mouth is full. He’s walking with Shiv out of Birgit’s, where they’d stopped for breakfast before work: hot porridge, skyr sprinkled with bilberries, bread topped with generous slabs of brunost. “Like someone’s watching you?”

Rafe’s discovered girls and gotten stupider. For the past few years, ever since he made journeyman and started earning a wastrel-wage as Da’s scribbler, he’s been loitering in taverns and letting his hair grow long; whenever he tosses a raffish, Rafe-ish smile at Vivienne Onis or some other maid, his curls flop with cherubic charm into his face. Viv thinks he’s funny, like an organ-grinder’s little monkey. Shiv thinks he should shave.

“En’t like that,” she says with a scornful flick of her tail, pulling him by the sleeve to let a carter pass. “S’like how you pray to Notorgo. Doesn’t feel like he’s got toplights on you, does it?” She looks at him sidelong as the cart rattles by. “Crumb on your gob.”

Rafe prods the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

“Other side.”

“Thanks,” says Rafe, and—with an older brother’s presumption—ruffles her ears before she can duck. Then he’s sauntering across the street, hands in his pockets, smiling and nodding at the fishwives.

Shiv, scowling, watches him go.

“Like someone’s watching me,” she mutters. “‘Cause I’m fascinating, me.”

Then, for no reason in particular, she looks over her shoulder. The nape of her neck prickles. The plume of smoke dancing from Birgit’s chimney, bending on the wind, twists for a moment like a smiling mouth.

4.E. 188

“So Ulfric Stormcloak’s coming to the city,” says the boy through a mouthful of chicken. “What’s so important about that?”

He’s shoveling down supper in a smoky public-house by the docks, where the Company men and their apprentices—of which he, as of that morning and its many contracts, is now the newest—gather at day’s end to dine. His hand hurts from signing his name. His legs hurt from walking. He suspects that he might have dreamed it all, the ships, the echoing warehouse, the food; when the barmaid’s girl had brought it to him, not to the well-dressed men chatting in the corner, he’d thought that the chicken—boiled in butter, melting golden from the bone—was a mistake.

Then he’d thought it was a prank. He half-expects his master of about half a day, a factor’s clerk with a long, frown-lined face, to whisk his plate away.

“The Emperor grants dustucks to Company factors and fiduciaries,” the man says after a thoughtful pause, wiping the grease from his hands with a kerchief. He’d paid for supper. He’s sitting across from the boy, facing the fire; his eyes glint in the hearthlight like two shards of red glass. “Can you tell me what a dustuck is?”

No, the boy thinks. He doesn’t even know what a fidu-cherry is. He sneaks a glance up at the clerk, then dares a joke. “Does it quack?”

The clerk blinks at him. Then he smiles—looking, the boy thinks, a little surprised about it.

“No,” he says. “A dustuck is a permit that exempts Company goods from any duties, stoppages, or inspections mandated in provincial ports. It means that our goods,” he says, raising his eyebrows at the look on the boy’s face, “go wherever we’d like them to go—and local customs-men can’t do a damned thing to hold them up, and not even the High King himself has the right to tax them.” He eyes the growing pile of bones on the boy’s plate with amusement. “Now, what do you suppose that means for us?”

Easy, thinks the boy, relieved. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. “Profit.”

“There’s a lad.” The clerk tips the rest of his chicken onto the boy’s plate. “Now, traders like, ah, like Shatter-Shield—that lovely little clipper in the harbor, the Bergfrue, she was his—they’re subject to the duties fixed by the jarls of each hold. And those duties are climbing by the day. Since Istlod can’t tax the Company at all, he’s got to tax his own people more.”

The boy, attacking a chicken leg, makes a muffled noise of agreement. Then the words sink in. He frowns up at the clerk. “That’s not fair.”

“That’s business.” The clerk’s smile is thin and vague. “But the Bear of Markarth agrees with you. He’s come to Haafingar to growl.” With a smile that transforms his solemn face, he catches the barmaid’s eye. “Well, to be more accurate, Istlod’s called him here to bawl him out for refusing to respect Company dustucks in his ports. He’s been costing us money.”

“Can he do that?”

“Ulfric?” The clerk holds up his tankard, dangling it by the handle. “Not according to the Emperor’s law. But men like Ulfric Stormcloak—”

“No politicking in my public-house,” says the barmaid, whisking up the tankard as she bustles by—and, to the boy’s amazement, tapping the clerk on the head with it for good measure. “Don’t go anywhere, Spider. I’ve some sveler for the boy.”

The clerk casts a plaintive look after her. “With bilberry jam, Birgit?”

“For the boy.”

The clerk raises his hands in airy surrender. The boy wonders, watching him, if the lines in the man’s face aren’t from frowning at all.

“Men like Ulfric Stormcloak?” he prompts, struck with a sudden urge to impress his teacher.

“Men like Ulfric Stormcloak,” the clerk says briskly, “like to know how far they can go.” With an even brisker smile, he stands. “Let’s see about those sveler.”

* * *

The boy brings the sveler, filled with jam and honey-sticky, home to his sisters. When he fishes it smugly from his coat, it looks more like a log of pocket-lint than a sweet; still, when he pieces it with painstaking care into seven portions, even picky Letta stuffs her morsel in her mouth without making any faces.

“Next time,” she says, eyes bright in her pale, pinched face, “bring back a cheese tart.”

The boy, with all the self-importance of a breadwinner, scoffs at her. “I can’t just tell Master Rano to buy me a cheese tart.”

Mina, chewing with her mouth open, grips his arm. The boy realizes with a start that he can see her cheekbones. “Candied pears!”

“Pleskener!”

“Kanelstenger!”

“I want to be an apprentice—”

It’s little Luce who tugs on his sleeve, her eyes wide with concern. “Mama, too.”

The boy’s portion stops halfway to his mouth. With a flash of remorse, he disentangles himself from his frail, hollow-eyed sisters. He’s been stupid, he thinks. Stupid and selfish. He should have pocketed some of the chicken.

“She can have mine,” he says, and lays his bite of svele on the table. If they’re asleep when she comes home, he thinks, it will surprise her. She’ll see that she won’t have to poss until her back aches, scrub until her hands crack and bleed from the water in the steaming washhouse-tubs. He’s the man of the house now—thirteen years old, full of knowledge of permits, and profits, and politics. He’ll provide.

Luce tugs his sleeve again. “Rafe?”

The boy blinks. Then he picks her up like their mother would: swirls her off the ground, tosses her so that she giggles. “Luce?”

His youngest sister, light as a ghost in his arms, pats his cheek with a sticky hand.

“Sweetrolls,” she says.

“Sweetrolls,” the boy solemnly agrees. Then he grins, heedless of the impossibility. “And a cheese tart, candied pears, some pleskener...”

year 152 of waiting on that promotion

“There are twenty-two Company factories in Haafingar,” says the boy named Rafe, beaming as though he’d built them himself. “Ours is the biggest. Our godowns—can you tell me,” he adds, glancing down at his companion, “what a godown is?”

The urchin, shrugging her worldly goods over her shoulder, grudgingly shakes her head.

She’s wobbling in the shadow of the seawall, her legs still off-kilter after several seasick weeks afloat. Above her, the boy named Rafe strides confident as anything along the wall’s crumbly top, the salt wind whipping his curls and his crumpled shirt-collar. When he’d met the urchin at the gangplank a few minutes back, he’d tried to take her sack and carry it himself. She’d flashed her teeth at him, which taught him better. Or so she’d thought, because—

“Here,” he says, and thrusts down an inky hand.

The urchin stares at him until he retracts it, then clambers onto the seawall without help. It’s a better vantage than she’d expected. She squints down, the wind buffeting her fur, at the tangle of masts in the bay—and beyond them the biggest Company factory in Haafingar, where Rafe is prenticed. Where she, too, will be prenticed. A warren of warehouses, their piers sticking out like fat wooden tongues, sprawls in the shadow of the rich coves’ city on the peak.

“Godowns.” Rafe nods at the warehouses. A stone slides from the wall beneath his too-small boot; he windmills his arms to keep his balance, but does not, the urchin notes with reluctant respect, slow. “That’s where we store what comes in. And what goes out. Mostly we export iron, tin, timber, tallow, potash—”

Beneath the urchin’s feet, the wall bucks like the deck of a ship. She throws out her arms, too, hackles bristling, and wonders with despair how she’ll ever mill a third-story glaze again—

“—kidskin, stuff and fustian, furs, woolens, worsted, and worse—”

He’s trying, the urchin thinks, to make her laugh. Like she’s some scrib. She firms her mouth into a line. “How ‘bout imports?”

“—oh, coffee, calico, indigo, serge, silk, sugar, spices, saltpeter—careful!”

The urchin flattens her ears at him, irritated, then realizes that she’s tipping. The wind rushes sideways past her ears before she twists on her feet, lashing her tail like a rudder, and saves herself and the sack by sitting down hard—thump—on the seawall.

“Beneful,” she grumbles, then kicks out her legs to glower at them. Bryn and Lleryn would laugh themselves sick. “Stupid stumps.”

“You’ve still got your sealegs, is all.” Rafe plunks down beside her. There’s an ease in his movements, an unthinking absence of caution and calculation, that the urchin resents. “Close your eyes and breathe in real deep.”

The urchin glowers at him, now.

Then she closes her eyes—not because he told her to, she tells herself, but because she wants to get her bearings. She opens her mouth and tastes the strange new air. Sweat. Stockfish and oakum. Birdshit. Rafe, beside her, smells oddly of both ink and laundry-lye.

“Um,” she says, eyes still shut tight. Gulls cry over the ruckus of the shipyard. The wind carries a snatch of bawdy song, bawled in a tongue that the urchin does not know, from the warehouses—godowns—below.

When she opens her eyes, she thinks, she’ll wake up. It will all go away.

Beside her, a rustle. “Um?”

“Um,” the urchin confirms. Her voice comes out rough; she swallows and tries again. “What’s saltpeter?”

“Glassblowers use it.” Rafe’s voice is light and nonchalant. “And Master Rano says people up there”—up on the peak, the urchin assumes, but he could be gesturing to Sovngard for all she knows—“put it in their beer.”

“How come?”

“Keeps it cold.”

This is so strange that the urchin opens one eye. She’s still on the seawall. There’s stupid Rafe, too, grinning at her.

“There,” he says. “Better?”

The urchin opens her mouth to snap at him. Then she closes it. The wall is no longer swaying from side to side.

“Here,” he says again, and stands, and puts out his stupid hand.

The urchin narrows her eyes at it.

Then she takes it—and, with a haughty sweep of her tail, lets him hoist her up.
