“It's about Jamie”

|from Outlander season 7B official trailer|

[gotham-ruaidh]

All three of Claire's marriages happen at a moment's notice.

It can be said she was never exactly thrilled at the prospect.

And, it can be said that she never really had a choice in the matter.

If there's anybody who deserves a choice - who deserves a beautiful wedding, to a husband she loves deeply - it's Claire.

And I think that's precisely why, at her second wedding (and, to the extent possible, at her third wedding, too) - her groom really, really tries his best.

To make it about her, not about him.

To honor, respect, and cherish her.

Trying to make it just a bit easier for her.

To show her love. In the way she deserves, and in the only way he can.

I think Lord John should get to smash and bite, be petty and mean, and even kill.

7x10 “Brotherly Love”

He’d lost people before. Some of them dearly loved, more than life itself. But now he’d lost himself.

He walked slowly back toward his house in a numb daze. He hadn’t slept since the news had come, save in the snatches of complete physical exhaustion, slumped in the chair on Mercy Woodcock’s porch, waking disoriented, sticky with sap from the sycamores in her yard and covered with the tiny green caterpillars that swung down from the leaves on invisible strands of silk.“Lord John.” He became aware of an insistent voice, and with it, the realization that whoever was speaking had called his name several times already. He stopped, and turned to find himself facing Captain Richardson. His mind went quite blank. Possibly his face had, too, for Richardson took him by the arm in a most familiar manner and drew him into an ordinary.“Come with me,” Richardson said in a low voice, releasing his arm, but jerking his head toward the stair. Faint stirrings of curiosity and wariness made themselves felt through the haze that wrapped him, but he followed, the sound of his shoes hollow in the wooden stairwell.Richardson closed the door of the room behind him and began speaking before Grey could gather his wits to begin questioning him regarding the very peculiar circumstances William had recounted.

“Mrs. Fraser,” Richardson said without preamble. “How well do you know her?”Grey was so taken aback by this that he answered.“She is the wife—the widow”—he corrected himself, feeling as though he had stuck a pin into a raw wound—“of a good friend.”“A good friend,” Richardson repeated, with no particular emphasis. The man could scarcely look more nondescript, Grey thought, and had a sudden creeping vision of Hubert Bowles. The most dangerous spies were men whom no one would look at twice.“A good friend,” Grey repeated firmly. “His political loyalties are no longer an issue, are they?”“Not if he’s truly dead, no,” Richardson agreed. “You think he is?”“I am quite sure of it. What is it you wish to know, sir? I have business.”Richardson smiled a little at this patently false statement.“I propose to arrest the lady as a spy, Lord John, and wished to be certain that there was no … personal attachment on your part, before I did so.”Grey sat down, rather abruptly, and braced his hands on the table.“I—she—what the devil for?” he demanded.Richardson courteously sat down opposite him.“She has been passing seditious materials to and fro all over Philadelphia for the last three months—possibly longer. And before you ask, yes, I’m sure. One of my men intercepted some of the material; have a look, if you like.” He reached into his coat and withdrew an untidy wad of papers, these looking to have passed through several hands. Grey didn’t think Richardson was practicing upon him, but took his time in deliberate examination. He put down the papers, feeling bloodless.“I heard that the lady had been received at your house, and that she is often at the house where your nephew abides,” Richardson said. His eyes rested on Grey’s face, intent. “But she is not a … friend?”“She is a physician,” Grey said, and had the small satisfaction of seeing Richardson’s brows shoot up. “She has been of—of the greatest service to me and my nephew.” It occurred to him that it was likely better that Richardson did not know how much esteem he might hold for Mrs. Fraser, as if he thought there was a personal interest, he would immediately cease to give Grey information. “That is ended, though,” he added, speaking as casually as possible. “I respect the lady, of course, but there is no attachment, no.” He rose then, in a decided manner, and took his leave, for to ask more questions would compromise the impression of indifference.

He set off toward Walnut Street, no longer numb. He felt once more himself, strong and determined. There was, after all, one more service he might perform for Jamie Fraser.

“YOU MUST MARRY me,” he repeated.

I’d heard him the first time, but it made no more sense upon repetition.

I stuck a finger in one ear and wiggled it, then repeated the process with the other.“You can’t possibly have said what I think you said.”

“Indeed I did,” he said, his normal dry edge returning.

The numbness of shock was beginning to wear off, and something horrible was beginning to crawl out of a small hole in my heart. I couldn’t look at that and took refuge in staring at Lord John.“I know I’m shocked,” I told him, “but I’m sure I’m neither delusional nor hearing things. Why the bloody hell are you saying that, for God’s sake?!” I rose abruptly, wanting to strike him. He saw it and took a smart step back.“You are going to marry me,” he said, a fierce edge in his voice. “Are you aware that you are about to be arrested as a spy?”“I—no.” I sat down again, as abruptly as I’d stood up. “What… why?”“You would know that better than I would,” he said coldly.In fact, I would. I repressed the sudden flutter of panic that threatened to overwhelm me, thinking of the papers I had conveyed secretly from one pair of hands to another in the cover of my basket, feeding the secret network of the Sons of Liberty.“Even if that were true,” I said, struggling to keep my own voice level, “why the bloody hell would I marry you? Let alone why you would want to marry me, which I don’t believe for an instant.”“Believe it,” he advised me briefly. “I will do it because it is the last service I can render Jamie Fraser. I can protect you; as my wife, no one can touch you. And you will do it because…” He cast a bleak glance behind me, raising his chin, and I looked around to see all four of Fergus’s children huddled in the doorway, the girls and Henri-Christian watching me with huge, round eyes. Germain was looking straight at Lord John, fear and defiance plain on his long, handsome face.“Them, too?” I asked, taking a deep breath and turning to meet his gaze. “You can protect them, too?”“Yes.”“I—yes. All right.”

I rested both hands flat on the counter, as though that somehow could keep me from spinning off into space.

“When?”“Now,” he said, and took my elbow. “There is no time to lose.”

If I had a nickel for every time Clarie Beauchamp Randall Fraser Grey accidentally committed bigamy, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Brianna gets to know her brother William

[gotham-ruaidh]

Lord John cries as he tells William about how much Jamie loved Claire, and how he owes it to him to protect her.

He loves them - loves their love for each other - so very much. It's honestly wonderful to see.

William, poor lad, doesn't quite get it. He says to his stepfather - you married Claire at the expense of your reputation and happiness?

Lord John just looks at him, exasperated.

Oh, you sweet summer child. You can't possibly understand what love is, until you've seen Jamie and Claire together.
