    Summary

    Two years ago, James Fraser lost his wife to the pandemic. She left him with four children, depression, and PTSD. He gave up on love a long time ago, and certainly isn't looking for it now.

    Last year, Claire Beauchamp won a workplace harassment suit against Dougal MacKenzie. She remains strong, independent, and happily single. Who needs love when life is good?

    Can two people brought together by a typo on a passport, a vindictive uncle, and sudden, unlooked-for, overwhelming passion find long lasting happiness? Through it all, there are secrets between them, but no lies.

    Modern day AU with a twist. Something of a wild ride, so buckle up, hold on to your accessories, keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, and read the tags. Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy, my lovelies!

    I started this back in 2021. Loved it then. Love it still. It is the switcheroonie I never knew I needed. This version of Claire is relatable and not a hot mess (her persona is). Some peeps get luck that way...The writer is talented and really has a grasp on how to skillfully write realistic situations with minutiae of a nuance you know belongs in that scene yet take for granted. Love her skilled and comedic writing genius. Also a fave fic. Just tells a story and I love it. Episodic. .honestly feel like the dialogue is premium TV. That brilliant. She does not spoon feed...and pay attention because with in those nuggets is info you'll wish you paid attention to.

    This story takes place during the summer of 1987. It's the time of the Cold War, and heavy metal, and Just Say No.

    Ten chapters, each with a specific song as its soundtrack.

    Another gorgeously written fic. Stand alones and/or episodic at the same time. Love the writing, the adaptation of character and plot while also reminding me of the music and culture of my early teens. Writing the realities of addiction and thw sad but real issues that walk with a person in life long recovery. So nuanced and beautiful. Tremendously skilled writer.

    Summary

    Claire Beauchamp, Duchess of Havenford has a title, but no money. Jamie Fraser of Lallybroch has money, but no title. In an effort to secure their futures, Lord Lambert Beauchamp and Mrs. Ellen Fraser form an alliance and pledge their young children to marry. In hopes of coaxing the children toward love, they arrange for Claire to spend every summer at Lallybroch until her coming out.

    Unfortunately for Lamb and Ellen, being forced to spend their summers together is NOT Claire and Jamie’s idea of fun.

    Regency arranged marriage AU that sees Claire and Jamie from a childhood to adulthood!

Always drop all when a chapter is posted!

    What if Claire went through the stones long after Jamie was brought to Leoch? What if Jamie’s alcove dalliances landed him a foolish wife? What if Claire had been forced to marry someone else entirely? How long could their vows to other people keep them apart?

    If I’m going to post a Jamie POV chapter, it’s only fair that I post a Claire POV chapter as well, right? This is a pre-quel to the Metric Universe, set shortly before The Beginning.

    Summary

    On a seemingly mundane day at the library, Claire comes into work to find a note and a flower awaiting her on her desk. It appears to be written by a secret admirer. Her husband, Frank, has recently informed her of his desire for a divorce, and heart still raw and vulnerable, she is taken off guard by these particular attentions. Claire soon realizes there may be more depth of affection in the posies and poems than she initially considered.

    Summary

    Life has forced Claire to compartmentalize herself into neat--and quite separate--little boxes: her uncle's free-spirited niece, the army's skilled and confident veteran nurse, and Frank's subdued wife. At some point, she lost track of which Claire was the real one. In fleeing from her husband, she unwittingly falls through time, landing in another century and in even greater peril. Now, her survival will depend on finding the strength she thought she'd lost--with the help of an altogether different sort of man.

    From the moment James Fraser heard her voice, he knew her to be the same mysterious woman who'd been haunting his dreams for months. He'd loved her before he'd even seen her with his waking eyes, and he was determined to keep her safe no matter the cost. Together, they must fight for themselves, their family, and a love strong enough to conquer time itself.

    This story WIP is as gorgeously written as it is nuanced. A tale that has not been spun in this fanfic Fandom that I am aware of. The character development and the plot are beautiful. Brilliant. Will never give up on more. Written by someone whom works and is schooling full time. This is one you drop all for whenever an update posts and are grateful for. So very talented. Prob will never be finished.

    Summary

    It was odd, having another person in the house. Jamie supposed this was what he was working toward, though—the rooms of the old lady full, bringing her to life again. A refuge, a gathering place. And he couldn’t deny it pleased him to see that someone like Claire could relax a bit in Lallybroch’s embrace.

     

    The days of the Lairds of Broch Tuarach are long gone, but Jamie Fraser hasn’t given up on Lallybroch. And when newly widowed Claire Beauchamp arrives at the estate by chance, he jumps at the opportunity for help as he works to give his ancestral home new life.

    Summary

    Claire is precariously close to the edge. She loves her job but everyone thinks it's causing her stress. She would love a holiday but can't quite work out how to book the time off. She loves her husband but he wants a divorce.

    It's all starting to be a bit much.

    In a daze, Claire boards a train to a place called Broch Mordha, where a chance encounter leads her to Jamie Fraser, the new owner of the dilapidated 'Dragonfly In Amber' Inn. Claire needs a place to stay whilst she attempts to put her life back together and Jamie needs a paying guest to help cover the cost of fixing the roof. Realising that they need the other to get through the next four weeks, it soon becomes obvious to everyone in the small Highland town that Claire and Jamie were meant for each other.

    Now, if only they could realise that as well...

    Summary

    When her husband is offered a job in South Carolina, Claire Randall unwittingly leaves her successful medical career behind in London. What she thought would be a couple of months off to get things settled turns into nearly a year of floating around yacht parties and cocktail hours like an accessory on Frank's arm, hosting dinner parties she dreaded and being subtly spoken down to by the very man who's ring she wore. Just when the purposeless mundanity of her life as a bona fide Southern Socialite begins to truly sink in, two little girls move into the house next door, bringing sunshine back to her doorstep, and along with it their father.
