I’m not saying Elucien is going to be some kind of retelling of Claire and Jamie’s story in Outlander (in fact I hope it’s not) but it’s always comforting to me to know that SJM is a huge fan and Lucien was based off of Jamie Fraser. That both couples were “thrown” at one another despite the circumstances. That both couples grapple with fate and agency.
That when Claire and Jamie married they were not “in love” - but that fate had other plans for them and they created their love story beyond what life had given them.
Claire was still in love with Frank, unsure how or if she could ever go back to her old life, and basically forced to marry Jamie.
Jamie was a bit lost and exiled from his home, had no real sense of where he belonged, and immediately took Claire on as his family. He married her without question or judgement.
Oh he also believed Claire immediately about her time traveling through the stones. Kinda like how Lucien immediately believed Elain’s vision and went to find Vassa??
Claire and Jamie fell madly and deeply in love, to a point where Claire tells him that she used to search for the reason for everything, all the pain she’d gone through going to the past thru the stones, and that ultimately it was because she was meant to be with him. I mean, come on. I would die if we got an Elucien scene like that.
I’m just curious (excited??) to see the parallels when we finally get their story. SJM would never waste all this angsty, romantic potential for potato steam and a retelling of sad Archeron sister falls for dark Bat Boy.
Can yall recommend so Scollace fics you like? I wanna get in on the ship but I don’t really *get* it yet, you know? I need that one fic that makes me go “oh shit this is awesome I’m onboard”
I’m sorry for being insane about this, it’s just that having a character survive a suicide attempt, learn how to live and be happy (and especially finding all that in the queer community), all to just have them get killed off? That’s just ugly. Absolutely fuck off with that.
1969, i Beatles eseguirono illoro leggendario concerto sul tetto di Londra. Hanno suonato per 42 minuti prima di essere fermati dalla polizia. È stata l'ultima esibizione pubblica di John, Paul, George e Ringo come "TheBeatles".
The last live performance by the Beatles was on this date. They played this exceptional song to perfection that day. It’s painful to watch John sing here. He and George are missed every single day.
