you made it feel like home: a bones and all au
introducing…bonesandall!rafe
bonesandall!rafe who…cannot remember when the first time was, much less remember how much of an influence his mother had been in it.
bonesandall!rafe who’s…father hates him, often blaming rafe for his mother’s “disappearance” from their lives, but never once knowing the truth as a child and lacking any maternal affection from there on out.
bonesandall!rafe who…slowly starting to resent his father more and more, the favoritism towards his sisters making him grow up bitter towards his family, but still he craves one, longing to fit in somewhere.
bonesandall!rafe who…knows something is wrong with him from a young age, being awfully self aware and swallowing his pride to ask his father for help—though that didn’t go too well.
bonesandall!rafe who…grows up angry, way angrier than anyone should be, and slowly the external hate towards everyone becomes something heavy in him, leading to self hatred too.
bonesandall!rafe who’s…anger leads to fights far more violent than need be, and those fights often end in the sick act of eating with no guilt, ever.
bonesandall!rafe who…always washes his hands clean afterwards, hoping for guilt to come, though it only visits him as twisted shame he can only wash away with drugs, coke specifically.
bonesandall!rafe who…finally pieces it all together one random night when he was 19, which led to a huge fight with ward that he never speaks about to anyone, not his sisters or “friends”, still too confused on what actually happened to speak it out loud.
bonesandall!rafe who…would’ve left north carolina as a whole had it not been for the storm that hit the night he planned to leave it all behind, causing him to stay in the outer banks for an extra week.
bonesandall!rafe who…meets bonesandall!reader at a busted down motel at the edge of town after she landed in this godforsaken town, and oddly enough, let her tag along on his adventure out of here.
a/n: omggg, this is my second time posting something, this is so exciting!! Now that ive finally introduced both characters, im planning on either elaborating on how they met exactly or their individual backstories, though im not sure what to post first. if you guys read this, please lmk what you’d like to read first, and if you’ve got anything you’d like to know about this au, feel free to ask!!
