    Summary

    *POST BEES* He and Fraser were alike. More so than in just their shared appearance. He had come sort of to terms with it when it served them well traveling and fighting together. They needed little spoken words to know what the other was going to do. It had served them well. That had all ended though when they returned to the Ridge. Had they spoken at all by themselves? He could not recall.
    *****
    While Lord John convalesces, William Ransom is left to adjust to life on the ridge, and his seemingly never ending new family relations. Torn between wanting to fit in, and stubbornly clinging to his former identity, he hides away how ill he feels until he could no longer hide it.

    Summary

    While I love Ms. Gabaldon’s work, I always wanted Claire to explain more to Jenny about why she’d stayed away so long, even if she couldn’t tell Jenny everything. Here's what I imagined might have taken place

    This takes place during season 3, episode 8, after Laoghaire shoots Jaime and Claire patches him up. It follows more of the show’s version of events, which differ quite a bit from those in the book.

    Summary

    Life wasn't bad. Frank was a decent husband, her children were her treasures, and her job was a dream. Except that now her dreams were filled with a certain red-headed Viking-esque neighbour she just met.

    Summary

    “I saw a whale fluke off of Cape Cod once…”

    That quick line spoken by Brianna in season 5, episode 10 (“Mercy Shall Follow Me”) launched an entire fic! What was going on in the lives of the Randall family at that time?

    It’s August, 1960. Brianna and her parents are enjoying a late summer trip to a rented beach bungalow in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. An early bloomer and somewhat socially awkward, Brianna is both eagerly anticipating, and nervously dreading, the public debut of her first two-piece swimsuit. Her father Frank feels only the latter, while Claire, as per usual, is only paying half-attention to her husband and daughter’s personal lives. All of them have secrets they cannot speak of to one another, and burdens they do not know where to place safely. Their family drama plays out against a backdrop of early 1960s American abundance, pop culture, and technological innovation; a shiny, tantalizing world curated for the “Baby Boomer” generation.
    But is it all it promises? Due to Frank’s line of work, he has a better idea of the answer than most…

    I’m not selling this. I don’t sell fanfic. If you see someone who is, be cool and let me know!
