Thanks for doing these, @scotsmanandsassenach! 😘

‘I prayed all the way up that hill yesterday,’ he said softly. ‘Not for you to stay; I didna think that would be right. I prayed I’d be strong enough to send ye away.’ He shook his head, still gazing up the hill, a faraway look in his eyes. ‘I said ‘Lord, if I’ve never had courage in my life before, let me have it now. Let me be brave enough not to fall on my knees and beg her to stay.’

The way Jamie is willing to sacrifice his body, his happiness, his life - everything - for those that he loves. Over and over again.

I know why the Jews and Muslims have nine hundred names for God; one small word is not enough for love.

For me, this little snippet from Claire’s letter to Bree is one of the most profound things Diana has ever written. God is love. And love is so much more than these four insignificant, over-used letters.

‘Mi gradhaich a, thu, athair,’ she whispered. My love to you, Father. He gathered her tightly against him, bent his head and kissed her forehead.

Jamie and Bree. Because duh.

‘I have lived through a fucking world war,’ I said, my voice low and venomous. ‘I have lost a child. I have lost two husbands. I have starved with an army, been beaten and wounded, been patronized, betrayed, imprisoned, and attacked. And I have fucking survived!’

Hey! :)

They are indeed my favourite rarepair, but they’re sadly also a rare rare rare rarepair.

However, I think @outlanderrarepairs and @thelallybrochlibrary‘s Queerlander Prompt Exchange are going to change that! If I remember correctly, there are several writers who plan to write a story that features Jamie x John. Incidentally, I’m also one of those. Shameless self promotion: I’ll write a fic for @outlanderrarepairs which I talked about here and I claimed prompt #39 from the Queerlander Prompt Exchange.

But for now, here are some awesome fics that we do have!
