THE PROPOSAL - In Progress

Claire is 22 and living on her own in Boston in the mid 1800′s.  She wants to move out of the city and is dazzled by the accounts of what she’s read of life on the frontier.  The problem?  She needs to find a way out of Boston.  She runs across an idea to advertise “looking for a situation”.  Jamie Fraser, living in Williamsburg in Indian Territory and looking to ease his loneliness, answers her letter.  Is Claire really cut out for frontier life?  Is Jamie ready for Claire?

Here is another Category List for you. Today we have the classic best friends to lovers trope. Most of these fall within a modern AU timeline. We hope you enjoy! 

When the Lights Fade by Counting_the_Stars

Best friends for so long, could they ever be anything more?

Sweet Creature by @three-drink-amy​​

Claire and Jamie have been best friends since they met at university. When Claire decided to leave medical school to pursue her dreams, Jamie was the first to support her. Five years later, they’re still best friends. But two conflicts stand poised to hurt their friendship: Jamie’s stake in her business and Claire’s secret enduring love for him.

Beauchamp Riots by @kalendraashtar​​

The Hike by @renee-writer​

Jamie and Claire have been friends since childhood. Jamie was tasked with looking after Claire after the death of her big brother and his best friend. But is there more? As they hike and talk, will hidden feelings be revealed?

I’ll be there for you (IBTFY II)  by @abreathofsnowandwaffles​

I knew I was in trouble when he moved in. I had known somewhere deep inside, that sharing an apartment with Jamie Fraser was going to be a problem. But, I had needed the help to pay the rent and he was the only suitable person who met my obscene standards.

He was clean, respectful, and didn’t mind my coming and going at odd hours. He was a hard worker, Adso loved him, and all the references on his application had stellar reviews about him. He was also extremely charming and good-looking. I had started to fall for him the moment he came over for a tour of the apartment, though, I hadn’t wanted to admit it to anyone- let alone myself. The problem was, I was with Frank, and he had a girlfriend—But Jamie Fraser was my best friend, and that was all.

The Getaway by @mybeautifuldecay​​ for @imagineclaireandjamie​

Loss is a love story that charts the valleys and peaks of a relationship from start to finish. On an airplane in February 2018, I started writing what I thought would be a four-part story. In the story, Jamie and Claire were already in an established relationship. My four-part plan rapidly turned into a six-part plan, then an eight-part idea, and eventually finished as an eleven-part story. As I posted, the story started to spin off into a series of ficlets. You can read this story chronologically as listed below or you can start with the eleven-part original story that begins in November 2016.

2019 - Rebounding (charting a new playfulness, life)

JUNE: 180 Seconds | JULY: Toys, Carte Blanche

Current as of September 8, 2019 | Updated masterlist available here

I have no idea, anon.  Sometimes I think it’s the designers she’s worked with or have offered her a sweet deal.  Other times?  I just don’t know.  Maybe when she was a model, where she wore some incredible outfits and some incredibly bad outfits, it resulted in her looking at clothes differently than the average person.

But pairing that outfit with the hard part in the weighted down hair and the pursed lip smile?  Don’t get it. 

When I saw Cait at Paley last October, the first thing I noticed is that she’s even prettier in person than she is in pictures.  Granted, she was glowing that night because Sam had been away but this is a genetically gifted woman.  So how is it that her makeup and hair people manage to dampen that? 

- Missing Moments and Re-imagined Scenes from the show/book. 

 Even though these are by and large stand-alones, I’ve arranged them in chronological order as they do fall within the same canon timeline. :)

The Dreamcatcher -  A one-shot fic, set the morning of Claire and Jamie’s first meeting. (Set in both book 1 and the showverse in 1x01)

Breathing - The first time Claire and Jamie make love after Wentworth. (Re-imagined scene set in 2x04).

The Dance - A night spent dancing in Versailles inspires Claire to give Jamie a few private lessons of her own. (Missing Moment set roughly around 2x05)

Whispers - After the loss of their daughter, Claire and Jamie share a quiet moment together with Jenny’s daughter Kitty. (Missing Moment, set in Lallybroch after their return to Scotland in s2).  

Lallybroch Nights - Claire and Jamie slowly find each other once more after Faith. (Based on the memory Claire has of the Catullus love poem as she visits Lallybroch in 2x13).

Time - As Culloden inevitably creeps ever closer, Claire and Jamie crave some much needed alone time. (Missing Moment set roughly between 2x12 and 2x13).

The Cottage - As Jamie spirits Claire away to Craigh Na Dun the morning of the battle, he takes a necessary detour on the way. (Missing Moment, set in 2x13 between leaving the camp and arriving at the stones). [Author’s note: One of the show’s excuses for not showing Claire and Jamie’s last night was that they hadn’t established the cottage used in the Book. But I maintain they did have a cottage in the show they could have used instead - that being the one they met in, in 1x01.]

The Echo Of A Memory [Part 1] - No matter how hard she tries, Claire can’t - and won’t - keep Jamie from her dreams. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse, a few years after Claire’s return to the 20th Century.)

The Echo Of A Memory [Part 2] - Jamie long to see and feel Claire’s presence around him, and welcomes his dreams of her, savoring every moment he can get a hold of. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse, a few years after Claire journey back. A parallel story to that of Claire’s).

What it is to be Alive - Claire and Bree share a heart-to-heart after finding out Jamie survived Culloden. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse a few days after the season 2 finale). [Author’s note: I’m really hoping for something similar in s3 between them. Some mother-daughter bonding.]

Edinburgh - A wee peek at Jamie’s perspective of the Printshop reunion. (A Re-Imagined, amalgamation of book and show!verse elements, depicting Jamie’s POV).

To Feel Your Touch On Me - Headcanon: After seeing the early fan pics strongly indicating Claire loses Jamie’s ring instead of Frank’s in s4, plus tonight’s(20/3/18) hint from Leanne A’s video about the hand carvings maybe being done later on in s4 too, had me immediately think he’ll mark her so she doesn’t feel like he’s ever not with her and vice versa. I'mma put money down on it lol (set in s4 show!Verse).

An Unusual Hobby - As Claire and Jamie prepare to turn in for the night, they accidentally stumble across letters Marsali’s written to Bree. They soon find out, Marsali’s found herself a new and cheeky hobby. (Set in the book!Verse, post MOBY).

- Prompt Fics:

“It’s fine. You won’t hurt us.” - *A naughty wee Missing Moment set in Best Laid Schemes*…(2x06)

Tell Her That I Love Her - *What if, the deleted scene (in 2x13) entitled ‘Tell her that I love her’ was about Brianna?* A drabble prompt that resulted in three different, unique wee fics from three different writers. Be sure to check out Londonerbecky’s Here and Bonnie-Wee-Swordsman’s Here.

Pictures - *I would love to see Jamie compile a photo album for Claire with photos the children, vacations, birthdays, Christmases, their many houses, their wedding, etc.* (Set in the Voyager book!Verse).

Strength - *Hi! I was hoping you could write something which details how difficult Brianna’s birth would have been if she stayed for both her and Jamie? A few fics have touched on it but I feel like they gloss over her recovery and such. I just love worried Jamie and how his only real weakness is Claire and his family. Plus it would be cute to see him taking care of newborn Bree while Claire recovers.* (Canon divergence set in the book!Verse).

- Missing Moments and Re-imagined Scenes from the show/book. 

 Even though these are by and large stand-alones, I’ve arranged them in chronological order as they do fall within the same canon timeline. :)

Breathing - The first time Claire and Jamie make love after Wentworth. (Re-imagined scene set in 2x04).

The Dance - A night spent dancing in Versailles inspires Claire to give Jamie a few private lessons of her own. (Missing Moment set roughly around 2x05)

Whispers - After the loss of their daughter, Claire and Jamie share a quiet moment together with Jenny’s daughter Kitty. (Missing Moment, set in Lallybroch after their return to Scotland in s2).  

Lallybroch Nights - Claire and Jamie slowly find each other once more after Faith. (Based on the memory Claire has of the Catullus love poem as she visits Lallybroch in 2x13).

Time - As Culloden inevitably creeps ever closer, Claire and Jamie crave some much needed alone time. (Missing Moment set roughly between 2x12 and 2x13).

The Cottage - As Jamie spirits Claire away to Craigh Na Dun the morning of the battle, he takes a necessary detour on the way. (Missing Moment, set in 2x13 between leaving the camp and arriving at the stones). [Author’s note: One of the show’s excuses for not showing Claire and Jamie’s last night was that they hadn’t established the cottage used in the Book. But I maintain they did have a cottage in the show they could have used instead - that being the one they met in, in 1x01.]

The Echo Of A Memory [Part 1] - No matter how hard she tries, Claire can’t - and won’t - keep Jamie from her dreams. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse, a few years after Claire’s return to the 20th Century.)

The Echo Of A Memory [Part 2] - Jamie long to see and feel Claire’s presence around him, and welcomes his dreams of her, savoring every moment he can get a hold of. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse, a few years after Claire journey back. A parallel story to that of Claire’s).

What it is to be Alive - Claire and Bree share a heart-to-heart after finding out Jamie survived Culloden. (Missing Moment, set in the book!verse a few days after the season 2 finale). [Author’s note: I’m really hoping for something similar in s3 between them. Some mother-daughter bonding.]

Edinburgh - A wee peek at Jamie’s perspective of the Printshop reunion. (A Re-Imagined, amalgamation of book and show!verse elements, depicting Jamie’s POV).

To Feel Your Touch On Me - Headcanon: After seeing the early fan pics strongly indicating Claire loses Jamie’s ring instead of Frank’s in s4, plus tonight’s(20/3/18) hint from Leanne A’s video about the hand carvings maybe being done later on in s4 too, had me immediately think he’ll mark her so she doesn’t feel like he’s ever not with her and vice versa. I'mma put money down on it lol (set in s4 show!Verse).

An Unusual Hobby - As Claire and Jamie prepare to turn in for the night, they accidentally stumble across letters Marsali’s written to Bree. They soon find out, Marsali’s found herself a new and cheeky hobby. (Set in the book!Verse, post MOBY).

- Prompt Fics:

“It’s fine. You won’t hurt us.” - *A naughty wee Missing Moment set in Best Laid Schemes*…(2x06)

Tell Her That I Love Her - *What if, the deleted scene (in 2x13) entitled ‘Tell her that I love her’ was about Brianna?* A drabble prompt that resulted in three different, unique wee fics from three different writers. Be sure to check out Londonerbecky’s Here and Bonnie-Wee-Swordsman’s Here.

Pictures - *I would love to see Jamie compile a photo album for Claire with photos the children, vacations, birthdays, Christmases, their many houses, their wedding, etc.* (Set in the Voyager book!Verse).

Strength - *Hi! I was hoping you could write something which details how difficult Brianna’s birth would have been if she stayed for both her and Jamie? A few fics have touched on it but I feel like they gloss over her recovery and such. I just love worried Jamie and how his only real weakness is Claire and his family. Plus it would be cute to see him taking care of newborn Bree while Claire recovers.* (Canon divergence set in the book!Verse).

- It Has Always Been Forever

 Is my first Modern AU, where Claire and Jamie are Neighbours living next door to each other in Edinburgh. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but their journeys always lead to each other :)

The following is her write-up on the separation of families at the border. She dispells a lot of common myths going around and provides sources which are linked. This might be helpful in your personal debates and discussions.

———————————————- 

There is so much misinformation out there about the Trump administration’s new “zero tolerance” policy that requires criminal prosecution, which then warrants the separating of parents and children at the southern border. Before responding to a post defending this policy, please do your research…As a professor at a local Cal State, I research and write about these issues, so here, I wrote the following to make it easier for you:

Myth: This is not a new policy and was practiced under Obama and Clinton.

FALSE. The policy to separate parents and children is new and was instituted on 4/6/2018. It was the “brainchild” of John Kelly and Stephen Miller to serve as a deterrent for undocumented immigration, and some allege to be used as a bargaining chip. The policy was approved by Trump, and adopted by Sessions. Prior administrations detained migrant families, but didn’t have a practice of forcibly separating parents from their children unless the adults were deemed unfit. 

[ source ]

Myth: This is the only way to deter undocumented immigration.

FALSE. Annual trends show that arrests for undocumented entry are at a 46 year low, and undocumented crossings dropped in 2007, with a net loss (more people leaving than arriving). Deportations have increased steadily though (spiking in 1996 and more recently), because several laws that were passed since 1996 have made it more difficult to gain legal status for people already here, and thus increased their deportations (I address this later under the myth that it’s the Democrats’ fault). What we mostly have now are people crossing the border illegally because they’ve already been hired by a US company, or because they are seeking political asylum. Economic migrants come to this country because our country has kept the demand going. But again, many of these people impacted by Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy appear to be political asylum-seekers. 

[ source ]

Myth: Most of the people coming across the border are just trying to take advantage of our country by taking our jobs.

FALSE. Most of the parents who have been impacted by Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy have presented themselves as political asylum-seekers at a U.S. port-of-entry, from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Rather than processing their claims, according to witness accounts, it appears as though they have been taken into custody on the spot and had their children ripped from their arms. The ACLU alleges that this practice violates the US Asylum Act, and the UN asserts that it violates the UN Treaty on the State of Refugees, one of the few treaties the US has ratified. The ACLU asserts that this policy is an illegal act on the part of the United States government, not to mention morally and ethically reprehensible. 

[ source ]

Myth: We’re a country that respects the Rule of Law, and if people break the law, this is what they get.

FALSE. We are a country that has an above-ground system of immigration and an underground system. Our government (under both parties) has always been aware that US companies recruit workers in the poorest parts of Mexico for cheap labor, and ICE (and its predecessor INS) has looked the other way because this underground economy benefits our country to the tune of billions of dollars annually. Thus, even though many of the people crossing the border now are asylum-seekers, those who are economic migrants (migrant workers) likely have been recruited here to do jobs Americans will not do.

[ source ]

Myth: The children have to be separated from their parents because the parents must be arrested and it would be cruel to put children in jail with their parents.

FALSE. First, in the case of economic migrants crossing the border illegally, criminal prosecution has not been the legal norm, and families have historically been kept together at all cost. Also, crossing the border without documentation is typically a misdemeanor not requiring arrest, but rather has been handled in a civil proceeding. Additionally, parents who have been detained have historically been detained with their children in ICE “family residential centers,” again, for civil processing. The Trump administration’s shift in policy is for political purposes only, not legal ones. 

See page 18: [ source ]

Myth: We have rampant fraud in our asylum process, the proof of which is the significant increase we have in the number of people applying for asylum.

FALSE. The increase in asylum seekers is a direct result of the increase in civil conflict and violence across the globe. While some people may believe that we shouldn’t allow any refugees into our country because “it’s not our problem,” neither our current asylum law, nor our ideological foundation as a country support such an isolationist approach. There is very little evidence to support Sessions’ claim that abuse of our asylum-seeking policies is rampant. Also, what Sessions failed to mention is that the majority of asylum seekers are from China, not South of the border. 

Here is a very fair and balanced assessment of his statements: [ source ]

Myth: The Democrats caused this, “it’s their law.“ 

FALSE. Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats caused this, the Trump administration did (although the Republicans could fix this today, and have refused). I believe what this myth refers to is the passage of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which were both passed under Clinton in 1996. These laws essentially made unauthorized entry into the US a crime (typically a misdemeanor for first-time offenders), but under both Republicans and Democrats, these cases were handled through civil deportation proceedings, not a criminal proceeding, which did not require separation. And again, even in cases where detainment was required, families were always kept together in family residential centers, unless the parents were deemed unfit (as mentioned above). Thus, Trump’s assertion that he hates this policy but has no choice but to separate the parents from their children, because the Democrats “gave us this law” is false and nothing more than propaganda designed to compel negotiation on bad policy. 

[ source ]

Myth: The parents and children will be reunited shortly, once the parents’ court cases are finalized. 

FALSE. Criminal court is a vastly different beast than civil court proceedings. Also, the children are being processed as unaccompanied minors (“unaccompanied alien children”), which typically means they are in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS). Under normal circumstances when a child enters the country without his or her parent, ORR attempts to locate a family member within a few weeks, and the child is then released to a family member, or if a family member cannot be located, the child is placed in a residential center (anywhere in the country), or in some cases, foster care. Prior to Trump’s new policy, ORR was operating at 95% capacity, and they simply cannot effectively manage the influx of 2000+ children, some as young as 4 months old. Also, keep in mind, these are not unaccompanied minor children, they have parents. There is great legal ambiguity on how and even whether the parents will get their children back because we are in uncharted territory right now. According to the ACLU lawsuit (see below), there is currently no easy vehicle for reuniting parents with their children. Additionally, according to a May 2018 report, numerous cases of verbal, physical and sexual abuse were found to have occurred in these residential centers. 

[ source ]

Myth: This policy is legal. 

LIKELY FALSE. The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on 5/6/18, and a recent court ruling denied the government’s motion to dismiss the suit. The judge deciding the case stated that the Trump Administration’s policy is “brutal, offensive, and fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and decency.” The case is moving forward because it was deemed to have legal merit.
