𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐓: You're in an established relationship, known each other for a few months. ⋆.˚🦢⋆

𝑼𝒉𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒅

・Uhtred picks up on it instantly.

・Once Uhtred understands how touch-starved you are, he becomes a little obsessed with making sure you feel safe in his presence.

・So Uhtred starts to touch you more; a hand on your back when you walk together, holding your wrist and giving it a tight squeeze when he wants your attention, leaning against you casually, running a hand down your arm, holding your cheek for a few moments before he has to leave etc.

・And when you go out together, his focus is on you.

・Because if someone gets too close than his arm is around your waist, pulling you to his side.

・And if you're nervous in a crowd? Unsure of where to go because of the mass of people - then Uhtred places a hand on your back and guides you to somewhere less overwhelming.

・Oh ... and if somehow you ended up hurt; then he would hold you/set you on his lap while he checks your injuries. And in a low, serious voice says: “Let me see, love. Let me take care of you.”

・Once he notices that you’re leaning into his touch more and more, he starts teasing you mercilessly.

"Oh, now you have gone soft, now you whimper when I stop touching you!"

・And OBVIOUSLY, you aren't going to let that slide. So, you move out of his embrace and do not seek it out for some time.

・However... Uhtred didn't realise how much he needed your touch just as much (he would never admit it though)

・So, he seeks you out and kisses your hand.

"You need this, little one. Now come here.”

𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏

・Once Finan figures out just how touch-starved you are, a terrible mistake has been made! Now you are never getting rid of him!

“You were never meant to go without love. Never. And I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you never do again.”

・Finan doesn't think much of it at first; he's a naturally touchy person; clapping people on the back, throwing an arm around shoulders, tugging at tunics etc,.

・But when he notices little things about you, for example: How you lean into his touches, watching longingly at others who so freely express their feelings through touch.

・He sees the flash of hurt, and sometimes jealousy.

・And once he puts two and two together...his heart crumbles, because he feels like he's let you down.

・From that moment on, he decided that this relationship just got a whole lot more clingier.

・The next time he saw you, he ran up and spun you around, setting you down and giving you kiss. An arm moved to your waist and he kept you close.

・Now, he always keeps you close. No matter where you are. He'll have an arm around your shoulders when you're walking. A hand on your knee when you sit together.

・Even pulls you onto his lap - at every chance he gets.

・Whenever he feels you pulling away, he says:

“If I go even a single hour without touching you, I fear I may wither away and die. Do you want my death on your hands, love? Do you?”

𝑺𝒊𝒉𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄

・Sihtric notices before you even realise it yourself

・He's always watching you; you are his afterall.

・And he noticed that every time he puts a hand on your waist, you lean into it, when you hug - you're never the first to pull away.

・Once he sees just how much you crave romantic touch, but are too hesitant to ask for it...he makes sure that it becomes apart of your daily life.

・For example: when you’re sitting by the fire, he casually tugs your legs over his lap, when you're together, you are connected somehow i.e., holding hands, playing with hair, sitting on his lap.

・And you know what, Sihtric is NOT the freely affectionate type. However you? You are the exception:

“I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

・Because of this, a thought found its way into Sihtric...maybe he was touch-starved too?

・Because he holds you like he's afraid to let go. He wasn't raised with affection and kindness. Hugs seemed like some sort of sign of respect. So, he felt he did not deserve them.

・But coming to know that you connect with that thought made him want to weep. Because you deserve everything.

・And Sihtric, being Sihtric, he becomes attuned to your every movements.

・So when it comes to you? He notices every single time you crave touch.

・And he acts accordingly. With him, you never feel unloved, or unworthy.

・Sihtric makes you feel like the most important person in the world.

“You feel like home.”

𝑶𝒔𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉

・At first, Osferth doesn’t notice. Not because he’s oblivious, but because he’s so used to restraining himself.

・But when he finally realises, everything changes.

・And suddenly, you have a shadow who refuses to leave your side.

・The moment he realises it, was a complete accident. You're both in front of the fire, and exhaustion creeps up on you. And you fall asleep.

・Osferth, has no idea what to do. At first, he freezes. Then he realizes...you trust him enough to let your guard down. To fall asleep and do so on him, with your head in his lap, and hand gripping his wrist.

・Touch for Osferth makes his heart beat like nothing else has. And it's all to do with you:

“I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything the way I want you.”

・It nearly knocks the breath from his lungs. He feels so needed.

・He doesn't want to make you uncomfortable, so he's slow about introducing more touch.

・I.e., a lingering hand on your wrist when he helps you up, a brush of his fingers against yours when he hands you something, his shoulder pressing against yours when you sit together.

・Osferth never thought he was the possessive type. But one day, someone got too close to you. Too touchy, too flirty.

・And suddenly Osferth's hand is on your waist, tugging you back against him.

"I suggest you leave. Now." And he says it with such conviction, you think he might actually start a fight...

・Now Osferth craves this touch just as much as you.

“I hope you never stop reaching for me.”

𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒈𝒈𝒓

・The moment he figures out you crave touch, specifically his touch, he becomes extremely territorial.

・His attention rarely leaves you.

・And he starts touching you effortlessly.

・When you sit next to him, his arm is draped over the back of your seat, trails his fingers down your arm absentmindedly, cups the back of your neck when he talks to you etc,.

・This one time, he noticed how much you wanted to touch him but you were hesitating. Sigtryggr did not like that.

・He leant close and whispered in your ear:

“You want something, little one? Take it.”

・From then on you felt comfortable showing your affection, and being open about the need for it as well.

・For a long time, Sigtryggr tells himself this is all about you.

・That he’s just giving you what you need.

・But then he starts to notice:

How he sleeps better when you’re curled against him.

How he misses your warmth when you’re gone too long.

How his hands itch to touch you when you’re too far away.

“I don’t just touch you because you need it. I do it because I like it.”

[pokeasleepingsmaug]

Osferth for the character ask game?

How I feel about this character: The sweetest baby monk. Loyal, smart, regularly yeets himself way outside his comfort zone for those he loves. I’ll admit he really annoyed me when we first met him, just because he was so out of place with the rest of the Coccham Squad, but he’s really grown on me in the last few years. Plus I have a fondness for bastards, so I will happily adopt him just like I did for Sihtric, and just like that, I have an idea for a new series of fics.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: This may be because there’s mostly dudes in this show, but so far, I haven’t met a woman in this show that I think would be a good wife for Osferth. However, I want to think that he eventually falls in love with one of Eahlswith’s friends. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Finan CLEARLY adores him and thinks of him like an annoying little brother, and I live for it. And then I think he and Sihtric share a lot of similarities, being the unwanted bastards of powerful men. I think they have a deep bond, the kind where they don’t have to talk much, and one of them can leave for long periods at a time, but they never doubt that the other is there for them no matter what. 

My unpopular opinion about this character: Despite being with Uhtred for years now and becoming more of a hardened warrior, Osferth is never okay with killing. In the moment he doesn't think about it, especially when the lives of people that he cares about are on the line, but afterward, he goes straight to the chapel and prays. He’s still half a monk, in his own mind, and thinks he’s probably going to hell for murder. However, he thinks that sacrifice is justified, because it preserves his father’s kingdom and the Saxon way of life. 

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I would have loved to see Father Pyrlig take him under his wing and teach him how to navigate his guilt over killing people.

Warnings: violence, mentions of blood

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ

𝐔𝐡𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐝

・You were with the medics when it happend. Eadith too.

・You were all at the back of the battle, waiting for injured people to help

・It was against battle rules to hurt or maim the healers on either side.

・But it happened.

・And you were hurt quite badly; a large slice on your arm, bruised legs and ribs.

・When Uhtred was given word, he left his post and went straight to you.

・Eadith was there, looking after you. Although she was hurt herself.

"What happened!" He bellowed, kneeling beside you. Uhtred looked over you himself, and took your hand in his.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault." His head hung low but you moved his hair out of his face.

"No, no it's not."

・You tried to sit up but you winced doing.

"I'll never let this happen again. I swear it."

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧

・You were having sword lessons with Uhtred

・And you had been advancing at a quick pace. And Uhtred was impressed.

・However, a new sequence was added and you thought you could handle it.

・Except it was a bit too difficult for you making Uhtred accidentally cut your arm.

・He was apologetic, but Finan came over and exploded.

"Be careful with my wife! Look at her, she's bleedin'!"

"I'm sorry," Uhtred said again, "I'll go get the healer-"

・Finan gave him a hard glare and led you over to a place to sit.

"Are you okay?" He asked with pure concern.

"It's just a cut, Finan, I think I'll survive."

𝐒𝐢𝐡𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜

・He wasn't there to see it.

・A group of drunk men started talking about Sihtric and his lineage. Then someone started calling him names because of his appearance.

・You couldn't just sit there and keep your mouth shut.

・He was your husband, and you were proud of him.

"Keep his name out of your mouths." You had shouted it at them.

・They just laughed at you.

"Fuck you all," and that's when it hit you. Someone had thrown their cup at you and it landed on your face.

・You had a deep gash on your cheek and Sihtric had just walked in to see it happen.

"What the fuck!' He shouted, running toward you.

・He assessed your face, then ripped part of his shirt to press against your cheek.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this, now who was it."

𝐎𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐡

・The guards were unpleasant.

・Extremely so.

・Especially when you had confronted them (to get their attention for the group)

・You had been making a big fuss over nothing and yet the three of them started on you at the same time.

・You were a good swordsman, you had been training with Uhtred everyday.

・Except the timing was off, and the guards attacked all at once.

・You took a beating until the guys showed up.

・Osferth was horrified, you were bleeding heavily, but you didn't let it get you down.

"I'm fine-"

・Osferth couldn't speak, he fell to the ground and wiped the dripping blood from your face.

𝐀𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦

・You had been learning how to heal from an open-minded practitioner. (Women weren't allowed to be healers)

・Many different people came to the healer's home for help

・You thought you had seen it all until a guard you had known recognised you.

"Oi, what is she doing here?" He said gruffly.

"She's learning the ways of healing," your teacher said.

・But that didn't suffice, he had gone from angry to irate.

"Women aren't allowed to be healers."

・This close-minded idea was dangerous, and it showed that day.

・It was embarrassing.

・You ended up falling over and hitting your head, trying to get away from the man.

・Your teacher had no experience with violence, so he had gone to get someone. And that happened to be your husband.

"What happened?" He said sternly, taking out his sword and glaring at the guard.

・He ran away, but was stopped by a bunch of soldiers.

・Aldhelm ran to you, "let me help, let me help you."

𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜

・Kneels beside you, makes sure you're still breathing.

"C'mon lass, let's get you some help."

・Picks you up in his arms and carries you to the healer.

・His own heart is racing, but he's trying to keep a straight face. Leofric wouldn't be able to handle you getting worse.

・He hadn't seen what the blow was, but he knew it must have been pretty bad if you could barely keep your eyes open.

"Keep looking at me, just keep your eyes open-"

・He was running, and soon was shouting for the healer.

・When the healer was there, he beckoned Leofric inside.

・He laid you down on the makeshift bed but would not leave your side.

Also this is 18+ ... we acting like grown ups.

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ

𝑨 = 𝑨𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 (𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚’𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒙)

Osferth is naturally gentle and attentive, always making sure you’re comfortable and content after the intensity. He’ll clean you up with a soft cloth, press lingering kisses to your forehead, and pull you into his chest, murmuring sweet words. He’s the type to wrap you up in his arms, rubbing slow circles on your back, whispering things like, “You’re alright, love. I’ve got you.”

𝑩 = 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 (𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓’𝒔)

His favourite on himself: His hands. He likes how steady they are when they’re on you, holding your hips or brushing hair from your face. Being with you makes him feel bold, like he can act on his whims - because you're his safe space. He knows you won't judge him. His favourite on you: Your neck and collarbone. He loves how sensitive you are there, and he can’t get enough of the way you shiver when he kisses that spot.

𝑪 = 𝑪𝒖𝒎 (𝑨𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒄𝒖𝒎)

Osferth's favourite place would be inside you, hands holding your hips firmly, forehead pressed to yours as he breathes out your name. There’s something about the intimacy of it that makes him feel connected to you. As if it’s not just about the act itself but about claiming you in a way that’s both tender and intense.

He’s surprisingly careful about cleaning up, always making sure you’re comfortable and feeling cherished. He wants you to feel loved. Not used. Never used.

𝑫 = 𝑫𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 (𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒔)

Osferth secretly enjoys the thrill of being caught. Despite his shyness, there’s a rush in the idea of sneaking around or finding a quiet, hidden spot just to steal a few heated moments together.

𝑬 = 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚? 𝑫𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚'𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈)

Osferth isn’t the most experienced, but he’s eager to learn and incredibly attentive. He takes your prompts seriously, learning what you like and making mental notes. The more confident he becomes, the more he surprises you with how passionately he can take the lead.

𝑭 = 𝑭𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

He loves any position that keeps you close; like missionary, where he can watch your expressions and kiss you tenderly. Osferth also likes when you straddle his lap, holding onto his shoulders for balance while he supports your waist.

𝑮 = 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒇𝒚 (𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒔, 𝒆𝒕𝒄)

In your heated moments, there are times when Osferth is soft and playful. Sometimes, he loves to tease you gently. For example, nuzzling into your neck, pressing quick and ticklish kisses that make you squirm and giggle.

𝑯 = 𝑯𝒂𝒊𝒓 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍-𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚, 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒔, 𝒆𝒕𝒄.)

Since he travels a lot, there isn't time to groom himself. And it isn't normal to groom one's hair in that time anyway. However, Osferth's body hair is light in colour; the same soft golden-blonde as the hair on his head.

𝑰 = 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒚 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕…)

Osferth loves intimacy; he yearns to be close to you. He’s deeply affectionate during the act, always wanting to feel connected. His kisses are slow and full of emotion, and he’s the kind to whisper soft, loving things against your skin as he moves with you.

𝑱 = 𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑶𝒇𝒇 (𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏)

When Osferth is all alone, there's only one thing that is on his mind. You. And he's replaying the tender moments you've shared with one another. Although, he does get embarrassed by how easily he gets worked up just by thinking about you. Your smile. The noises you make when he's inside you. How your back arches, your hands grabbing at him, trying to get as close as possible.

𝑲 = 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒌 (𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔)

Osferth likes gentle dominance. He loves being the one to guide you, holding your wrists softly against the bed while murmuring words of affection. There’s also the thrill of feeling you surrender to him, trusting him completely.

𝑳 = 𝑳𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝑭𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐)

Osferth's favourite place is somewhere private but unexpected; a secluded grove near camp or in the forest against a tree, when no one’s looking. There’s something about the risk of getting caught that makes his heart race.

𝑴 = 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒐𝒏, 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈)

Your touch and your eyes are his biggest motivators. When you reach for him with that playful glint in your eyes, it’s like a switch flips, and he’s ready to give you everything.

𝑵 = 𝑵𝑶 (𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒅𝒐, 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒔)

He’s not into anything degrading or overly rough. He wants to feel like he’s cherishing you, not causing you any harm. Respect and love always come first.

𝑶 = 𝑶𝒓𝒂𝒍 (𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍, 𝒆𝒕𝒄)

He’s surprisingly talented despite his inexperience. Once he gets past his initial shyness, he loves the way you react. He takes his time, learning how to make you come undone just from his tongue.

𝑷 = 𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒆 (𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉? 𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍? 𝒆𝒕𝒄.)

He prefers slow and sensual; savouring every moment. He likes when you both take your time, building up the tension until you’re both desperate for release.

𝑸 = 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒆 (𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒙, 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒏, 𝒆𝒕𝒄.)

He’s not typically one for quickies, but if the situation demands it; such as stealing a moment together, in a hidden alcove, then he's absolutely fine with it. Privacy doesn't happen much on the road. So Osferth ... takes it when he can. He may be a bit flustered but secretly thrilled.

𝑹 = 𝑹𝒊𝒔𝒌 (𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌𝒔, 𝒆𝒕𝒄.)

Osferth is much more cautious than most, but he gets bolder when he sees how much it excites you. A quiet clearing or a shadowed den is as risky as he gets, but the adrenaline leaves him breathless.

𝑺 = 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒈𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓, 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕…)

He’s got the stamina of a man used to long days on the road. He can go for a few rounds, especially when it’s been a while. He always makes sure you’re satisfied before even thinking of himself.

𝑻 = 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖)

Osferth thinks about you constantly. Sometimes to the point where it distracts him from everything else. He’ll be sharpening his blade, eyes unfocused as he drifts off into thoughts of the night before, replaying the way you gasped his name or how your nails dug into his shoulders.

𝑼 = 𝑼𝒏𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒓 (𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆)

Osferth isn't overly teasing, but when that side does come out, it's soft. It's physical. His hands wander absentmindedly, touching you lightly here and there. Unknowingly driving you insane. When you call him out, he flushes and apologises, not realising how much he affects you.

𝑽 = 𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒆 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆)

Well, Osferth is not loud, but he makes these soft, breathy moans that hitch when you touch him just right. He tries to muffle his sounds when others are nearby, but he can't help the whimpers that slip out when he’s overwhelmed.

𝑾 = 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒅 (𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆)

Osferth has a fascination with your thighs. He loves laying on your lap, lying between your thighs; having them wrapped around his head, and feeling them against his body as he rutts into you. He finds comfort in the softness of them.

𝑿 = 𝑿-𝑹𝒂𝒚 (𝑳𝒆𝒕’𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔, 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔)

Osferth is well-proportioned, lean but undeniably solid. He’s slightly above average, not ridiculous in size, but just enough to make you gasp when you first see him fully bare. His length is impressive, curved just a bit to the left, and he’s thick enough that you feel every inch of him when he’s inside you.

𝒀 = 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 (𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒙 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆?)

His desire builds slowly, but once he’s caught up in you, it’s intense and consuming. He’s the kind to get distracted just watching you move around camp, caught up in daydreams of touching you.

𝒁 = 𝒁𝒁𝒁 (… 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔)

Afterwards, he likes to stay awake for a while, tracing patterns on your skin and whispering all the things he loves about you. He falls asleep once he knows you’re safe and content, his hand resting protectively over yours.

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

・When Osferth first met you, he was incredibly frightened of you...but did his best to hide it.

・Well, even Uhtred was wary of you at first. You had come off the battlefield, covered in blood, a sword in both hands, and a fucking grin on your face

・Out of three of the four men were practically having heart palpatations when you looked their way and your smile grew.

"Oh fuck-" Finan said, practically frozen.

"Shit shit shit, in coming, Uhtred-" Osferth was by his Lord's side, not ... hiding behind him, only merely standing beside him.

・It wasn't until Sihtric stood up, opening his arms wide that the men let out a joint sigh.

・Even though both of you were covered in blood and had considerate wounds (although none too serious), you hugged each other as hard as you could.

"Um, not to ... break up this beautiful picture," Finan started, "but who exactly is this Sihtric?"

"This is my cousin!"

・Osferth's attention never left you. His eyes constantly seeking you, he needed to know where you were at all times.

・His crush on you, which took a few weeks for him to realise, made him obsessed with you.

・Osferth yearned for you.

・But little did he know, you felt the exact same way.

・You travelled with Uhtred and his crew for months, and you fought in many battles (saving the lives of each men around twice; but whose counting?)

・Finan was the easiest to talk to - with Uhtred always galloping off to do Lord things, Sihtric usually spying for him, which left Finan, Osferth and yourself.

・The monk took a while to speak to you, and the first few times he stuttered.

・The black khol around your eyes, Viking markings and tattoos were enough to make any Saxon quiver.

・But he'd seen you in battle, and his heart fluttered every time.

・So Finan was the only person to talk to. And talk he did.

・You listened to the Irishman, but your eyes often wandered to the monk, whose gaze would quickly avert from your own

・Everytime he did this, you smiled. And of course, Finan caught on.

・So one night he decided to meddle.

"Argh! I've hurt me ankle - Osferth and y/n, can ye get the firewood for me. God this hurts!" He near shouted as the two of you walked off together.

・Was Finan an idiot at times? Yes. But a brilliant idiot. Because the asshole actually got Osferth to talk to you. And once you got talking, you both opened up. As if you had known each other all your lives.

・When Uhtred and Sihtric returned, they were stunned to see the two of you so close. Emotionally as well as physically.

・Sihtric especially, since he felt rather protective of you. Even if you could beat him in a fight.

・Osferth had never known love, not romantic love, and he knew he would never feel it to this extent again.

・He has your eye colour memorised, as well as your smile, the way you like to do your hair, your favourite colour etc.

・He's tentative and sweet, emotionally mature - although he can be a bit naive at times.

・Osferth never thought someone like you; someone as intimidating and strong and fierce as you, could ever look twice at him. Let alone love him.

・And he swore to himself that he would do everything he could to make you happy.

・We know that Osferth isn't a virgin, as he had two GROWN WOMEN physically fighting over him!

・He has the same dedication to his partner's pleasure as he has faith in God

・The first few weeks of your relationship, Osferth was always shocked that you kissed him.

・Often you asked him if he was okay, if he wanted to stop and then this fire would overtake him

・The kisses turned heated, passionate, almost overwhelming

・His large hands like to wander from your face, to your back, then down to your backside.

・There never goes a day when Osferth hasn't squeezed your ass, or at least pinched it

・You can get Osferth to agree to anything if you suck and nibble on his nipples. They're very sensitive, (and a lot of men do like this).

・There was a growing guilt whenever you two fucked, (no I am not using their word for it. I will not use 'hump' - I cringe every time.) He felt as if he was going against god somehow.

・But you had had enough of it after 4 months of being together.

"If this is causing you anguish, then we will stop."

"It's complicated love, I - what I want and what's expected of me is two different things."

"Then you will have to choose."

・Osferth told you a needed a week to make up his mind. Because if he chose you, then he would no longer be a monk.

・You agreed.

・And when those 7 days were over, he came into your tent, fell to his knees and begged for your forgiveness.

"I believe in God. And you believe in your gods. It is difficult, but I have made up my mind."

・When his eyes met your own, your breath was taken. Almost stolen from you.

"I am yours y/n. I cannot see God, nor touch him. But when I am with you... it feels like I am in the presence of the Divine."

・And that night he fucked you like he never had before.

・Orgasm after orgasm, he made love to you until the sun came up.

・He loves leaving love bites and teeth marks on your thighs and chest. There's something so primal about that action. As if he's marking his territory. Although he knows no one could be your master.

Finan

Sihtric

If you really want something written for a character, I will probably do it tbh. The Last Kingdom deserves more fanfics and hype. It's truly a masterpiece. Up there with GOT & HOTD.
