Has anyone done an au of Lord Commander Ser Duncan the Tall travelling back to when Rafe was alive ? I think someone should.
Just him waking up in his prepubescent body after the fire of Summerhall and being like, "Oh wow, I'm in hell" (or their equivalent?) So he's still shaking off his death and coming to terms with the fact he died, he's just looking around being so damn saddened to see how he used to live and how much he's forgotten about his life in Fleabottom, he thinks he is all Alone when suddenly a familiar figure has dropped down into their hidey hole, it's Rafe. He could never in any lifetime forget his sister, gone too soon, and never given a proper burial.
And i want him to just be fully thinking, "Well shit, this is a different kind of torture. Best get to it."
I just really want a war hardened and Legend worthy Dunk being sent to before it all began for him. Just absolutely beating the shit out of anyone who tries them because he's trained people smaller than him to be able to defend themselves to the best of their abilities, he knows the steps, he knows the streets and he knows how to fight to accommodate his young body.
Since he's got his mentality of his life before and his young body back, he's just annihilating the playing field of Fleabottom. No one so much as looks at him and Rafe funny anymore. In fact, they've all started to cross the street from them both or go in the opposite direction once they've spotted them.
Due to that, he gets fed more because they aren't fighting (Well Dunk is fighting, Rafe is like a stunned deer in headlights) Cue a very late growth spurt from getting to finally eat his fill when he was a child. He shoots up slowly but surely.
Rafe is understandably shocked to her core. Here is her shy, timid, and non confrontational brother taking out the big rats and gold cloaks (only the ones who try to kill or harm them otherwise their left alone - he does make sure there are no witnesses) like it's effortless.
He still meets Arlan and asks straight out for him to knight him, Arlan is impressed at the balls of this kid. He says Dunk has to squire for him first, and Dunk says only if Rafe comes with.
