OC Dani infodump

Long time coming for my friends in the Uncharted Discord, sorry it took forever

under the cut because there's a lot lol

"disclaimer" below:

okay first Dani is from my uncharted fanfiction series. originally started in 2016 my first story finished in 2017 where i had planned to make a sequel but didn't start it until this year. the original story and the sequel follow the events of Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy, the AU follows uncharted 4 during the prison in Panama but doesn't follow the same timeline.

go to resources:

the original story from fanfiction.net: (x)

part ii of the original story: (x)

new au: (x)

more about Dani including fanart drawn by other artists: (x)

photograph inspirations I used for Dani: (x)

me and a friend of mine back when uncharted 4 first came out helped me create Dani. note: we were two very mentally ill girlies, so a lot of the themes can get very heavy. a lot of trauma so trigger warning!

okay now onto Dani:

name: Danielle "Dani" Adler (married last name)

age: in the original story she's a couple years younger than Rafe, so in her early 30s. in the AU she is the same age as him, so born in the 1970s. (Rafe is estimated to be 35-38 in during the events of Uncharted 4)

ethnicity: Peruvian (mother's side) / Italian-American (father's side)

birthplace: around/outside of Pisac, Peru

zodiac (sun): Pisces

eye color: brown

hair color: dark brown/black

*Her parents met while her father was in Peru investigating the Inca ruins. Her father is how you'd describe Sully or Nate in the same profession.*

more random facts about Dani:

Dani is a martial artist practitioner of soo bahk do (she's a skilled fighter)

Not a good climber

Spanish is her first language, but she speaks multiple languages

She’s left handed

Missing her left ring and middle finger (original story)

Area of study: Ancient East Asian/Buddhist Art - also Inca Empire

how she got involved with the adlers

Dani's father, while decent at his job of artifact collecting, often had issues with biting off more than he could chew. coupled with gambling problems and double-crossing, he would find himself in hot water more than once. He was recruited by the Adlers for his expertise when Dani was a baby. The Adlers became his main clients, but he would borrow a lot from them, so a debt had to be settled.

My old friend and I are huge fans of Titanic, so picture Cal and Rose for this next part. Took heavy inspiration from their relationship in the movie without even realizing it at first lol.

Dani isn't given much choice and has to wed Rafe. Their marriage is more of a "business transaction" how I would describe it. Although they grew up together and do genuinely get along, there isn't exactly romantic feelings there.

In the main/original story they have two children.

Holden Adler (son, deceased)

Vera Adler (daughter)

What drove the final wedge in their marriage was the death of Holden. To put it briefly from one of the chapters in the story: He died tragically in an accident under Rafe's care. Dani fled hiding and becoming estranged. To protect her daughter her cousin Sophie has custody.

Their relationship in the AU will be a bit different.

Dani's personality:

indecisive

emotional

"unreliable narrator"

book smart

Those are the main words that come to mind while describing Dani. Obviously traumatized from different events in her life, she often has issues with regulating her emotions and cries easily. Most of her life has been out of her control so she often listens to others when they tell her to do something (within reason) and can be easily persuaded and can flip-flop.

She keeps peoples at arms length at first, but once she befriends them and builds a relationship she tends to give them the benefit of the doubt. Very empathic, she can feel when the tone and mood shifts without anything being spoken.

Since Dani was pretty much groomed into the thief/artifact seeker lifestyle, she specializes in that, specifically in ancient East Asian arts and history. She would go on "jobs" because she either had to pay off her father's debts or because the Adlers wanted their hands on something.

Her focus can also wane due to her traits of suicidal ideation and fear from scary loan sharks (amongst other things). Because of this she can be both physically and emotionally absent as a parent, especially after the death of Holden it was extremely difficult for her to cope.

In the original story and the sequel, Dani narrates the story from her point of view and leaves a lot about her past, her motives, and even keeps certain things like her children a secret from the reader and the characters in the story. That's why I labeled her as an unreliable narrator.

She’s currently living with her cousin and daughter in the Philippines, making being an active parent her main priority.

Dani's relationship with Sam:

Working on doing a more in-depth analysis of their relationship with the new AU.

Sam and Dani get along well from the start. Both emotional, they sometimes clash, but there's no denying their attraction to each other. Dani loves how he was able to find freedom in his life, and how passionate he is about Henry Avery (for example), and that he actually likes what he's doing, it's not a forced chore or just a job to him. Sam likes to flirt with Dani a lot, and she doesn't know how to really respond to it.

Unsure how to label their relationship, they kind of have a friends with benefits thing going on? Dani's convinced she has real feelings for him, but her lack of experience with actual healthy relationships might have her perspective warped.

in conclusion

Dani is a complex and deeply flawed character who experienced a lot of trauma, and doesn't often regulate her emotions in the healthiest ways. She is going through a lot of growth and is coming back mentally stronger than ever, the first step was finally cutting off her parents and making peace with Rafe (kinda) before his death (in the first story). In my original efforts to keep her as authentic/real as possible, and to prevent her from being a "Mary Sue" (super outdated term now that I don't agree with) I might have went a little too hard on displaying her weaknesses in an attempt to keep her more grounded. I had a lot of feedback from the community at the time that seemed in favor of this, so I kept going. I'm going to be taking a slightly different approach in the AU, but I'm going to keep her mostly the same.

I don't know what to say, I love flawed characters and Dani is my broken baby.

could I request something for the tutor materlist.. so now that y/n and rafe are together, y/n continues to tutor rafe but he gets distracted with her so y/n decides to make a bet with him or she does the “for every question you get right.. a piece of clothing comes off” thing lmao. thank you <3

Hii, my love. Thank you so much for sending me this, but in the Tutor Universe, the reader is actually Wheezie's tutor, not Rafe's. It's a completely understandable mistake, but, again, thank you so much for considering sending me this <33

If you're interested in reading that idea, @moldisgoodforyou wrote this one imagine a year ago with Rafe x Sophie and I think about it to this day. It's so good!! Hope that makes up for not being able to write this for you!!

did i scare you?

warnings: parent death, car accident

wordcount: 4.5k

___

“Help.”

That was the text message he got from Sophie as he sat in his 8am class - no lowercase like normal, no follow up of her usual three messages in a row. As the seconds ticked by, Rafe got more and more concerned, texting Allie and Julia if they knew what was up - Allie just responded that she’d driven to the art store about twenty minutes ago. He cursed under his breath, knowing it was icy as hell out and the art store was only ten minutes away from her house.

When he checked her Find My Friends, with his phone hidden under the table in class, and found her little icon stuck only halfway to the store in the middle of what was known as a tricky intersection, he panicked and practically bolted out of class without an explanation, shoving everything in his bag and slipping out the back door of the lecture hall. He called Sophie - three times - but it just kept ringing, over and over. He nearly tripped as he ran through the snowy grass to get to his car so he could drive to her as fast as possible.

When Rafe arrived, he saw her car’s passenger side completely crumpled into itself, with another car crunched right up behind it. Sophie sat hunched over with a thick blanket wrapped around her, talking to a paramedic, while a guy behind her was talking to a policeman. Rafe approached hesitantly, trying not to panic until he saw blood trickling down the side of her face and a bright red stained cloth at her feet.

“Sophie.” He breathed out, horrified, and had to steel himself for a thousand memories rushing back that he had repressed since he was fourteen.

She looked up at him with tears in her eyes at his voice, filled with relief, and immediately reached out for him. “I’m sorry.”

“No, baby, it’s okay, you’re okay.” He stepped closer and sat by her, pulling her into his arms carefully until the paramedic interrupted.

“Are you the boyfriend?”

“Yes sir.”

“She needs to go to the hospital, you can follow us in the ambulance. She’ll need a few stitches and she might have a concussion.” He was all business, glancing at his watch as he spoke. “Ma’am, if you’ll come with us -”

“Can he come in the ambulance?” Sophie interrupted, looking anxious. She was shivering despite the big blanket around her shoulders and leaned into Rafe, who immediately took her hand, rubbing his thumb over the back of it.

“No. He can follow in his car.”

“But my car ...” She trailed off, tearing up again as she looked over at it and back up at Rafe, uneasy.

“I’ll take care of it. It’s okay. Did you talk to the policeman?” Rafe asked her patiently, frowning when he noticed the insurance papers in her hand with a few blood spatters on them.

“Sir. She needs to get to the hospital.” The paramedic instructed, helping Sophie up and carefully pressing a pad of gauze to a still-bleeding cut just above her eyebrow.

“Right, right, okay. I’ll be right there, Soph, I’ll take care of it.” Rafe promised, squeezing her hand in an attempt at reassuring her. After she was taken into the ambulance, he was all business, taking photos from every angle of the accident and got all the details from the police officer, as well as all her belongings from the car - luckily, she kept her car in a near-perfect state at all times. When he got into his own car, he took a deep, shaky breath, reminding himself that she was okay, and called up her dad. “Mr. Flint?”

“Rafe, what’s up, everything okay?” He asked, a little concerned - Rafe never called without a heads up in advance.

“Um, yes, and no? Sophie got in a car accident, she’s okay, but the car is totaled. Some guy was on his phone and hit her from behind and she spun, it’s icy out today.” He glanced out the window to see the guy perfectly unharmed and grit his teeth together, having to fight back every urge in his body to head out there and pummel him into oblivion for being reckless enough to hurt his girl.

“You said she’s okay? Let me talk to her.”

“Yes, she’s okay, but I’m following her in the ambulance right now, sir. She needs stitches and might have a concussion, she hit her head on the wheel pretty hard. She’s shaken up too.” I’m shaken up, he wanted to add. Please come.

“Right. Okay.” Rafe could hear rustling in the background, paper shuffling. “You’re going with her?”

“Yes, I’ve got her. I’ll take care of her.” He nodded, starting up his car and going toward the hospital. “I promise.”

“Alright. You got photos of the car? Police information, insurance? Got her things?”

“Yes sir.” Rafe assured. “I’ll keep texting you, let you know. Um, the car’s pretty wrecked, unfortunately, but I can help her find a new car and everything - and I don’t know, I think we can sell this one for something at the junkyard, I’m not sure -”

“Rafe. It’s okay, we’ll worry about that later.” Her dad breathed out a small sigh of relief. “Thank you. Drive carefully, keep me updated.”

“I will. Bye.” His hands were shaking as he hung up and he had to force himself to take several deep breaths at a red light, about to cry. Sophie looked more scared and unsteady than he’d ever seen her when he saw her on the curb, and he didn’t think he’d ever forget that image. He called James next, knowing Colin was in class.

James answered, still half-asleep. “H’lo?”

“James, I -” Rafe’s voice cracked and he took a shaky breath, hesitant.

James sat up in his bed, frowning. “Rafe. What’s wrong.”

Rafe knew it was obvious he was crying but tried his best to pull himself together. “Sophie got in a car accident. I need you to tell Julia and Allie, we’re going to the hospital.”

“Fuck, I can be there in ten minutes - are you okay -” Rafe could hear him scrambling to get out of bed, a jingling of keys. Probably jogging up to Colin’s room to tell him what was up.

“No, I’m fine, I’m driving, I wasn’t with her. She’s gonna get stitches and maybe she has a concussion, I don’t know, uh, I don’t know what to do. Just tell the girls and maybe hang tight.”

“Yeah, man, of course, anything. Rafe?”

“Yeah?” He gripped the wheel hard, trying to control his voice.

“Does she know? About your mom?”

“I’m not sure. We haven’t talked about it. Fuck, James, I just -“ His voice cracked and he pounded his fist on the steering wheel, wanting to pull over and throw up.

“Hey, hey, Rafe, she’ll be okay. She’s gonna need you to not be scared, even if you are. And I will be there in ten minutes if you need me, just say the word.”

“I know. I know.” Rafe nodded, taking a deep breath. “Shit. Okay. Thank you.”

“It’s gonna be alright, bud.” James assured him, sounding concerned. “Do you want me to stay on the phone until you get there? I can wait. Or I can meet you in the waiting room, whatever you need.”

“Do you mind? Just staying on the phone?”

“No. No, of course not. Is her car pretty bad?”

“It’s totaled.” Rafe was extra-cautious as he drove toward the hospital, going 5 miles under the speed limit, but he was terrified to push his limits any further.

James whistled, frowning. “She loves that thing, wasn’t that her brother’s old car?”

“Yeah. Fuck, I have to call Carter, don’t I...” He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to blink away a few tears.

“Oh. Um, yeah, probably a good idea. Do you want me to do it? I met him once.”

“No, no, uh, I’ll text him, I’m pulling up at the hospital. Just tell the girls for me?”

“Of course. She’s okay. Breathe, Rafe.”

He nodded. “Thanks, James.”

“Any time, buddy. Let me know if you need me there.” He hung up, leaving Rafe to listen to the dial tone in his car. Rafe pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes, hard, willing himself not to cry. He hadn’t had to use his familiar tactic in a few years since he moved to college, since he wasn’t always under Ward’s thumb, but he still knew all his old tricks. Once he finally felt like he could breathe normally, a good five minutes later, he got out of the car and headed into the hospital.

It took some convincing, but he finally was allowed back into Sophie’s room - after he lied and said they were married. He didn’t think the nurse believed him, but the ring he wore on his finger looked enough like a wedding band to pass. When he got into the room, Sophie was mainly cleaned up, save for her white sweatshirt stained with blood. She had five stitches across the cut over her eyebrow and a nasty bruise forming.

“Hi, baby, you doing okay?” Rafe asked, sitting carefully on the edge of the bed and took her hand, eyes searching over her worriedly. “What’d they say?”

She squinted up at him, holding her free hand up to block the light glaring into her eyes behind him. “I dunno. Fuck, my head hurts.”

“You don’t…huh? They didn’t tell you?” He frowned, gently stroking his thumb over her cheekbone.

“Shh. I wanna sleep.” She replied, her eyes fluttering shut as she turned her head into his touch, but abruptly hissed and let out a squeak when his fingers grazed her freshly-stitched cut. “Ow, Rafe, stop.”

“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to.” He pulled his hand back quickly then leaned forward to press a kiss to her forehead. “I don’t know if you’re allowed to sleep yet, angel, let’s wait for the nurse.”

“M’ sorry.” She mumbled. “It was icy, I shouldn’t have drove. I didn’t mean to stress you out.”

“It’s okay, baby, it wasn’t your fault. You’re okay, we’ll get you a car.” He assured her, getting up despite her small noise of protest. “I’m gonna go find a nurse or a doctor, I’ll -”

He was interrupted when a nurse entered with a kind smile and clipboard in hand. “Sophie Flint?”

“Yes ma’am.” He answered as Sophie lifted a hand in a half-hearted wave.

“You’re the husband?” The nurse asked, skeptical.

“Yes, that’s correct.” He gave her his most charming grin, hoping to a god he wasn’t sure he believed in that they wouldn’t kick him out. (Then he felt a twenty-dollar bill in his pocket, and considered that he could use that too if he needed.)

“You’re my boyfriend.” Sophie corrected, confused, and he waved her off with a shake of his head, smiling at the nurse again.

“She’s still getting used to it, it’s new.” He excused, lifting her hand with the ring as a form of proof. “Um, she’s kind of sleepy, I think, I can go over her paperwork.”

“We took care of that with her insurance card, all I need to go over is discharge information with you. Sophie, honey, try your best to pay attention, okay? I need you to stay awake for me.” The nurse told her, handing a set of papers to Rafe. “What you’ll really need to do is rest…”

She continued, with Rafe listening intently and jotting down a few things, while Sophie nodded along from the bed, half-heartedly listening. Once she finished, she gave Rafe a bag of some extra bandages and medicine before sending them on their way.

Rafe was ultra-careful as he helped her out of the hospital, his arm tucked protectively around her waist. When they got to the car, he opened the door for her and put his hand on top of her head to usher her in carefully. “You got it? Need help with your seatbelt?”

She swatted at his hand, frowning. “I got it, I’m fine.”

“You’re not fine, Sophie, you’re concussed. Please tell me you’re not gonna be stubborn when we haven’t even left the parking lot yet.” Once he was sure she was safely buckled in, he jogged around and got in the driver’s seat, checking over her again before starting the car.

She frowned. “Can I have my phone? I gotta call - fuck, what time is it.” She sighed defeatedly when she realized she’d missed her class she was a TA for by a whole hour. “God damnit, I don’t have time for this right now. When will I be fine?”

He didn’t offer her phone to her, just kept it tucked in his pocket. “They said about two weeks, you’ll need to take it easy.”

“No. I have a project due in two weeks that I’m only about twenty percent done with, can you take me to the studio? I gotta work, I have so much shit to do - I have to TA so I can get paid and I have to call my parents - oh god, the car -”

“Hey, hey, slow down!” He exclaimed a little too loud, wincing when she pressed her hands to her ears. “I will take care of everything. I called your dad, I got your insurance, I can call or email your professors. I’ll figure it out. I promise.”

“It’s not that easy, Rafe.” She protested, brows knit together in concern. “Was my dad mad about the car?”

“No, not at all. He just wanted to make sure you were okay. I’ll get it all, Sophie, I need you to focus on taking care of yourself.” He reached over and rested her hand on her thigh, rubbing his thumb back and forth across her knee. “When we’re home, you can sleep.”

She rested her head back on the headrest, sighing. “Two weeks is way too long.”

“It’s not, and I’m gonna need you to cooperate.” He told her firmly. “I want you to get better.”

“Okay, okay.” She grumbled. “I’m so tired. Is my bruise bad?”

“Uh…” He glanced over, pausing before he continued. “You look beautiful.”

She frowned. “No I don’t.”

“You do, baby, you’re as pretty as always.” He grabbed the mirror on her side before she could flip it down to check. “Just close your eyes, honey.”

“Honey. That’s new.” She mumbled, resting her head back on the seat.

“Bad new?”

“No. I like it.” Sophie took a deep breath, closing her eyes. “M’ sorry if I scared you. Did I scare you?”

He exhaled, tightening his grip on her leg. “A little, yeah. I’m just glad you’re okay. That’s all that matters, you’re alive and okay.”

“S’ basically a scratch.” She mumbled. “I’m fine. Did you give them my insurance?”

“Yes. I’ve got it all taken care of.”

“My dad’s gonna kill me when he gets the bill. Fuck, I should’ve just had you drive me.” She grumbled, patting her pockets to look for her phone and google the average cost of an ambulance ride. “Can I please have my phone?”

“No screens, Sophie.”

“I’ll need to call my parents. My mom’s probably freaking out.” She went to rest her head on the window but they drove over a speed bump at the same time, making her gently hit her head against the glass. “Owwww,” she groaned.

Rafe frowned, reaching over to cup the back of her head and keep her in place. “I’m not letting you out of my sight for the next two weeks. And don’t stress about money, angel, I’ve got it.”

It all clicked for her a moment too late and she cocked her head, unsure. “Did you…?”

“Not yet.” He replied, staring straight ahead at the road with his jaw set, determined. “But I will.”

She got a little choked up, reaching over to rest her hand on his. “Rafe. That’s crazy, I’m not going to let you pay all that -”

He sighed and parked in front of her house, turned off the car then turned to face her, cupping her face in both his hands. “I’m not arguing about this. I don’t want you, or anyone else, stressing for a second about the price of your medical care. Hell, Soph, I’d pay millions to save you if something were to ever happen to you.”

It was as if he could see the gears turning in her head as her face dropped, slowly, and she frowned as she whispered. “Your mom.”

“Yeah.” He nodded, trying his best (and failing) to blink back a sudden onslaught of tears. “Yeah, I just - I can’t have something happen to you, Sophie, I can’t. I’m not losing you. I’m not losing someone again.”

She kissed the tears from his cheeks, shaking her head. “It’s okay, Rafe, I’m okay. I’m right here.”

He nodded and quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, jogging around the car so he could get her out and hold her closer - she beat him to it, pushing her door open and collided into him hard with a hug. He exhaled shakily as he wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling his face into her hair. “I’m so fucking glad you’re okay.”

“I’m so sorry, Rafe, I didn’t even realize, I’m so stupid - I should have just called you to meet me at the hospital instead -” She rambled, desperation tinging her voice as she curled her fingers in the back of his sweatshirt. “I’m so sorry.”

He didn’t respond, just shook his head and held her tighter, stroking his palm over her hair. After a moment, he was suddenly aware that he was trembling, fingers pressed a little too tight around her hip when she let out a small noise of discomfort. “Fuck, sorry, sorry.”

“It’s okay.” She dismissed right away, hands going to his face so she could pull him down for a kiss. “I’m okay. I promise. I’m right here.”

“You’re not. You’re hurt.” He protested, letting her go so he could pace around the yard, ignoring the bitter cold seeping into his bones. “I should have taken you to the store last night, when there wasn’t ice - I should have - fuck!” Rafe yelled, running his hand through his hair and yanking hard at the strands. “I should have protected you!”

Sophie stood there with wide eyes as she watched, unsure on how to approach him and unsure if she wanted to. “Rafe.” She murmured. “Rafe, please.”

He glanced up from the snowbank he’d just kicked, with wild eyes and a face streaked with tears. Seeing Sophie so startled made him fold into himself, anxious energy draining from him. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m just - fuck, Sophie, I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, Rafe, it’s not your fault.” She strode over to him, grasping the front of his sweatshirt to make him look down at her. “None of this is your fault, Rafe. I mean it.”

“But I -“

“No.” She told him firmly, staring him down.

After a moment’s hesitation, he swallowed hard, nodding. “Okay.”

“Okay.” She reached up on her toes to kiss his cheek. “Can we go inside? I’m fucking freezing. My head hurts.”

“Yes, yes, sorry. You go inside, I’ll get your papers, your stuff.”

“Do I need to call my parents and explain?” She asked, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment.

“I told your dad what happened, but they’re probably worried. Maybe a short call?” Rafe replied, reaching out to draw her into a hug.

“Yeah, maybe.” She mumbled, dropping her head to his chest. “I feel like I’m drunk.”

“Alright, let’s get you inside.” He insisted, carefully turning her around and marching her into the house. He was grateful that Julia and Allie weren’t home to witness his mental breakdown outside, especially because he felt like he was still on the verge of tears. He ignored her protest as he scooped her up and carried her upstairs, one hand tucked behind her head so he didn’t bump it on the handrail. Once he set her in her bed, Rafe closed all the blinds, then rummaged through her closet, pulling out a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt of his. “Let’s get you changed, Soph.”

She had already laid down, clutching the pillow to her chest as her eyes squeezed shut in pain. “It’s fine.”

“You’re wearing jeans and your sweatshirt still has blood on it. Come on, baby, make it easy on yourself.” He coaxed, gently tugging up on the hem of her sweatshirt.

Sophie let him undress her, only cooperating a little as he slid her into clean clothes. He was extra careful around the cut around her eye, pressing a feather-light kiss to the area afterward. Before he pulled the covers back over her, she reached out and caught his wrist, frowning. “Hey.”

“Hey.” He whispered back, kneeling down to eye level with her. “What’s up.”

“I’m sorry. I should have thought about your mom, I should have waited until I was okay to call you.” She frowned, running her fingers through his hair. “Do you need to call your therapist?”

He shook his head immediately - he’d only talked with the therapist once, and wasn’t sure he was ready to unload his entire story about his mom yet. “No, no, it’s fine. I’m glad you called me.” He swallowed hard, trying his best to ignore the memory that flashed through his brain. “No. I’m fine.”

“Rafe…”

“I’m more worried about you, Sophie.” He insisted, tucking her in. “You sleep, I’m going to call the girls, then call your dad back and update him. Okay?”

“I’m worried about you.” She replied, fighting off impending sleep and reached for him again. “Will you just - can you lay with me? At least until I’m asleep?”

He frowned, kicking off his shoes and slipped into bed beside her, then gently pulled her onto his chest. “Yeah. Yeah, of course.”

She sighed as she settled into him, her fingers curling into his shirt. “My head hurts so bad.”

“I know.” He hummed, stroking his palm over her hair. “I’m sorry, baby. It’s not gonna feel good for a little while.”

“I’m gonna fail my fucking finals.” She muttered. “I’m gonna fail my finals, and Columbia is going to kick me out, and then my dad will kill me for totaling the car.”

“That’s not -” Rafe shook his head, fighting a smile at her predictability. “No, Soph, I promise I’ll take care of it. They make accommodations for this kind of thing, your professors adore you. You’ll be fine. And your dad wasn’t concerned about the car, he was just worried about you.”

Sophie groaned dramatically. “We were gonna sell it because I didn’t need the car in New York.”

“Did you forget there’s a thing called insurance, baby? You’ll be covered, I promise. And if it doesn’t work out, I’ll call my lawyer -”

“Oh, god, of course you have a lawyer.”

Rafe paused, tilting her chin up slightly so she could look him in the eye. “What do you mean? Everyone has a lawyer.”

“Cameron, don’t start this with me right now. I fucking swear.”

“No, Sophie, what?”

She glared up at him, squinting. “You genuinely think everyone has a lawyer?”

“...yes?”

“I need you to check yourself.”

“Yes ma’am.” He replied quickly, stroking his palm over her hair again to get her sleepy again. “You need to rest, angel.”

“It hurts.” She whined, pressing his hand against her head to relieve a little bit of the pressure.

“I know, baby, I’m sorry.” Rafe murmured, gently knocking her hand away and pressing against her head. “I got you.”

“Rafe.” She mumbled, not willing to open her eyes.

“Yeah, Soph?”

“What happened? With your mom?”

“Hm?”

She lifted her head a little, squinting up at him. “How did…”

“Oh.” He swallowed, hard. “Um. Yeah. It was raining pretty hard, we were gonna go pick up Sarah from dance -”

“We?”

“Yeah. I, uh, I was in the backseat. I wasn’t paying attention, on my phone or something. She was driving, lost control…” He took a shaky breath, trying his best not to cry. “I didn’t see much. The ambulance showed up really quickly, I didn’t have to call 911. Someone else saw the crash. They got me out, made me stand back so I didn’t see anything. She died at the hospital, I think.” Rafe let his head rest back against the wall, not wincing when it made a small thud. “I don’t know. I just remember my dad wouldn’t talk to me. It was like he couldn’t even look at me, for a fucking week, at least.”

“I’m so sorry, baby.” Sophie murmured, wrapping her arms tight around his waist and squeezing. “I should have just called you when I was fine at the hospital, I didn’t know you were in the car.”

“No, it’s…I don’t know. I think it’s good. To see that you’re okay.” He forced a half-smile, leaning down to awkwardly press a kiss to the top of her head. “You really need to sleep, angel.”

“I love you.”

“Love you too.” Rafe whispered, continuing to stroke her hair carefully until he heard her breathing deepen, felt her body relax into his. He picked up Sophie’s phone, frowning as he scrolled through a few texts - worried ones from Allie and Julia, a reassuring one from her dad, a frantic one from her mom, a couple curious ones from her boss and other teaching assistants. He carefully typed out a couple replies, trying his best not to budge Sophie even an inch, then clicked her phone back off and set it aside.

He inhaled carefully, slowly, just like his therapist had taught him as a kid, with his eyes squeezed shut. When Ward ignored him after his mom’s death, throwing himself into work and shutting himself in his office daily, Rafe learned to slowly confide in his grandparents, his mother’s parents. It took a week of going to visit them every day after school for them to immediately take him to a therapist, bringing Sarah along too. He’d always seen his grandparents as intimidating - if he referred to them as anything other than sir or ma’am, he could expect a glare from Ward that went straight into his soul. Yet something shifted after the accident, like they picked up on Ward’s lack of warmth and stepped into that role for Rafe instead. He checked in with them once a month now at minimum, sometimes calling when he walked home from class, just so he could hear their reassuring voices, thrive on their encouragement and praise. Once Rafe confirmed his relationship with Sophie, his grandmother always made a point to ask about her, to make sure she was doing well.

When he was sure Sophie was fast asleep, he carefully slipped out of her grip, tucked the covers around her, and pressed a kiss to her temple before leaving the room and going downstairs to the empty living room. With shaky hands, he carefully dialed the number he knew by heart now, anxious to share how he was feeling.

The phone rang, three times as always before his grandfather picked up, his voice a little rough around the edges, but warm all the same.

“Rafe, kiddo. It’s good to hear from you again.”

BRB I'M DYING.

~Rosamund Pike's recent interview with Out.com

1). How much do I LOVE that Rosamund literally fangirled her way into getting Sophie to join the show (also, she's damn right)

2). I'm sorry WHAT. That Moment™ was an improv?! Rosamund Pike, bless that beautiful intuitive brain of yours for all eternity. 🙏

#yes i am spiraling thanks for noticing #rosamund pike #sophie okonedo #wheel of time spoilers #wheel of time #moiraine sedai #siuan sanche #siuan x moiraine #i will never be over how much rafe and rosamund fangirled over sophie

❝There is a saying in Cairhien, though I have heard it as far away as Tarabon and Saldaea:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❛Take what you want and pay for it❜

Siuan and I took the path we wanted, and we knew we would have to pay for it eventually.❞

Outer Banks Fic Rec

Recommended Writers

*NONE OF THESE FICS ARE MINE*

Please do not forget. I have not written any of these. I’m simply recommending favorites of mine. If you love something, send the author your love, not me :) and if any links don’t work, send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

UPDATED: APRIL 23, 2021

Usually I organize by fic itself but that’s typically utilizing ao3, etc. and I’m new to obx fics anyway so I thought this would be a fun way to do it!

also a reminder that I started doing fic recs like this for my own personal organizational habits lmao and I posted them just to have somewhere to put them and these lists were the result. people seemed to like my previous ones so after being asked, i figured I’d do an obx one. you can totally ignore this if you want

Writers are tagged and, if they have one, their masterlist is linked.

*Also if you’re on this list and for any reason wish to be removed, just let me know and I’d be happy to. This is meant to share your work in a kind way, not bother you, so I’d be happy to oblige.
