A wee bit of writing if you’re so inclined. I love imagining Jamie and Claire in their small cabin in NC (Drums of Autumn). It’s one of my favorite times for them, despite the hardships. Anyway, felt like writing something and my WIPs weren’t cooperating, so I wrote this. It’s... likely nonsensical and fairly silly, but oh well. Enjoy?

//

The house stood on the hill, overlooking the forest below. It winked at the winding river as the candles inside were blown out for the night. The door was shut tight against the cold wind, the hinges creaking as a gust came through.

The floorboards were cold, the woolen socks that warmed the woman’s feet resting on the hearth where a roaring fire warmed the tiny room. It smelled of herbs and honey inside, and fresh rain falling on wood. The tiny gaps that let the cold air in gave off a faint whistling sound.

The window, not yet a real window, was lined with deerskin, nailed tightly to the wooden frame.

The bed sat in the corner, made of rough timber, covered in a hand-sewn patchwork quilt full of floral patterns and geometric shapes. One wide pillow rested at the head, shared by two slumbering forms, foreheads nearly touching in the dark.

Sparks flew up the stone chimney; the smoke with them, and the deep sighs of the cabin’s occupants were accompanied by shifting quilts and sluggish limbs. The night held more than darkness; it brought warmth and solace from an exhaustive day. It brought comfort and intimacy as the two in bed found one another, hands grazing, lips touching.

Awake or asleep, only they knew. The house couldn’t tell. It held their secrets within its walls, held their promises, their hopes and their heartache; the things they’d whisper to one another in the flickering firelight. The man, with his red mane of hair sprawling across the pillow, caressed the woman’s cheek, murmuring in soft tones the house was all too familiar with.

The rain began to fall, the house standing strong, protecting the pair in the bed from the moisture outside. Bodies moved closer to one another, the quilts were pulled higher up, the deerskin on the window above their heads remaining still.

The house was loved, and it was love. It was worn in places where feet rested, where meals were taken, where a comforting touch was given when needed; a worn path from the door, to the hearth, and then to the bed told the story of the pair’s movements.

Some day it might be larger; some day it may have another room, or other occupants.

Tonight, though, the house was theirs, built with care with bare hands and sweating bodies. Winter was coming, and their home would protect them.

But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.

—Diana Gabaldon, Drums of Autumn

Three years ago, during the quarantine when there was Covid, i watched Outlander the First five seasons, One year later i watched Bad Batch that was the prequel of Star Wars Rebels and i realize that It will be compared with Outlander season three and because we see Jamie Fraser takes care of his son Willie if Bad Batch show us that Darth Vader takes care of baby Ezra Bridger After Revenge of the Sith. Outlander book three was release in 1993 and Revenge of the Sith released twelve years later. Outlander had almost comparison to Star Wars because the First book of Outlander was almost comparised to Star Wars the Clone Wars until Clone Wars season Seven and Revenge of the Sith that was almost comparison to Outlander book 2 were Claire Beauchamp gets separated by Jamie in the end as Anakin Skywalker gets separated by Ahsoka Tano......... and then Brianna Randall and Willie are almost comparison to Ezra when Jamie take care of Willie for six years while Brianna across the Stones while Ezra meets the Ghost Crew that it's contact with the Rebellion. Do you think that Jem, the grandson of Jamie and Claire, Is comparison to Ben Solo while the Last Two books of Outlander Is almost comparison to the Mandalorian, Star Wars Resistence and Sequel Trilogy?

Outlander= Star Wars The Clone Wars

Dragonfly in Amber= Star Wars the Clone Wars season Seven and Revenge of the Sith

Voyager= Star Wars the Bad Batch

Drums of Autumn= Star Wars Rebels

The Fiery Cross, a Breath of Snow and Ashes, An Echo in the Bone and Written In My Own Heart's Blood= Star Wars Rebels season five, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of Jedi

Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone and Outlander book ten= The Mandalorian and Sequel Trilogy

Star Wars arrives from 1977 to 1983 while the Clone Wars arrives in 2008 and Rebels arrives in 2014 while Outlander books were started in 1991 until 2026 for the 35th anniversary Just like the Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley that in the Last book about Pa Salt reveals all the secrets if they will made Star Wars Rebels season five set during the Original Trilogy of Star Wars and It will reveals all when George Lucas will be 80 and Dave Filoni will be 50 in 2024.

This picrew of me is my favorite thing ever I am howling in delight I am having SO MUCH FUN

{picrew}

#WEREWOLF MOMENT #THANK YOU NIGHTWING AND STORMY FOR ENABLING ME #I am experiencing gender euphoria or something this is crazy #now remembering that time at the uhhhh historical... re-enactment... fair...? I went to when I was little #when I realllly wanted to ask for a fox tail for my special gift #but ended up being talked into a little rabbit-fur bag instead #sigh... ah well it was probably good for me at the time #but!!! such is the way of giving probably-unhealthy things to God to keep for as long as he wants to keep them up on the shelf #and then getting them handed back down again like here you're ready for this now. you can be obsessed with werewolves this autumn #um I guess I'll tag this #drum roll... GENDER THOUGHTS

Just this minute finished reading Voyager. Such a beautiful ending. They have freedom, peace, and each other. The thought of the books ending here isnt a terrible one.

Now, into North Carolina and Fraser's Ridge, I go!!! ❤️
