Outlander Fanfic Idea

I have an idea for a fic about an old woman named Steph, who, after attending her mother's funeral, and ensuring her kids and grandkids are entertained by her late wife's videogame collection, finds the Virginia stone circle, and gets transported back to the 1830s or so, and interacts with Liam Ransom, the grandson of William Clarence Henry George Ransom, the Ninth early of Ellesmere.

By the time my story would take place, all secrets are to some degree in the open. William has figured out that Lord John is gay, and has heard about the time travel story from MacKenzie and Fraser family.

Unlike the original Outlander story, this would be an exploration of grief, not love.

The plot of this fic revolves around Steph's journey to say her final farewell to her late wife, Meg. The death of Steph's mother is the catalyst that forces Steph to decide if life is even worth living.

The only character that Steph meets along her journey that also shows up in the main series is Swiftest Of Lizards, Young Ian's child, because as of Season 7A Swiftest of Lizards has never met any of the main-cast time travelers.

Another interesting topic for this to explore is that of family folklore and storytelling. I think it would be fascinating to see how characters who would only have ever heard stories and rumors about the time travelers and of Lord John Grey's orientation interact with a new character who has both of the secrets.

The British Army uniform in the American Revolution War in the Outlander series

I have read a few interpretations in some blogs about the uniform of Lieutenant Lord Ellesmere William Ransom played remarkably by Charles Vandervaart in the historical fiction, Outlander series as an officer wearing an English Army uniform.

In the show, William Ransom (fictional character) was born in England as William Clarence Henry George Ransom on January 9, 1758. He has the titles of Ninth Earl of Ellesmere; Viscount Ashness; Master of Helwater and Baron Derwent, in the army they knew him as Lieutenant Lord Ellesmere William Ransom.

But, Lieutenant Lord Ellesmere William Ransom, is not wearing an English Army uniform because it is not the English Troops deployed at the Battle of Saratoga: It’s the British Army. The British Army traces back to 1707, with antecedents in the English Army and Scots Army that were created during the Restoration in 1660.

The term British Army was adopted in 1707 after the Acts of Union between England and Scotland, combined into a single led to the creation of a united kingdom to be called “Great Britain” on 1st May 1707.

So, William Ransom is wearing a British Army Officer's Uniform, serving in His Majesty's Military Forces fighting at the Battle of Saratoga in the American Revolutionary War in a scarlet tunic. At the end of the Second Battle of Saratoga, he received his promotion to Captain, for which he will be known in the British Army as Captain Lord Ellesmere William Ransom.

Origin of the Redcoats

He Battle of the Dunes, 14th June 1658

British soldiers wearing a distinctive scarlet tunic first saw combat on foreign soil at The Battle of the Dunes on 14 June 1658, part of the Franco-Spanish War. A combined French and British force defeated a Spanish Army on the dunes near the beaches of Dunkirk. This battle was the decisive victory that ended ten years of conflict between the three nations. It was under these propitious circumstances that the Red Coat debuted in combat.

The uniforms of British soldiers in the American Revolutionary War were regulated under the Royal Warrant of 1768. The Royal Warrant declared that the “The King’s, or first colour of every regiment, is to be the Great Union throughout.” The royal red colour was intended to make it clear that the soldiers belonged to the king. The most iconic of these was the "red coat," a symbol of British military might and authority. The red coat was not only visually striking but also served to intimidate opponents and boost morale among the troops.

The exact style of the coat varied depending on whether the soldier was light infantry, a grenadier, or played another role. The officer's coats were also red, but they were heavily decorated with gold braid and gold buttons -coat buttons, coat trimmings, and belt buckles - as part of their uniforms to show off their rank. The colour of the facings on the coat varied with the regiment, and the style could also vary slightly depending on the role. They often included gold-fringed epaulettes. The Epaulettes marked not only military rank but also social rank. British Officers wore tricorn hats adorned with a black cockade. In addition, they carried a sword as a symbol of their authority and status. Officers wore colorful sashes around the waist and crescent-shaped gorgets were worn around the neck and hung on the upper chest.

BRITISH, 8TH (THE KING'S) REGT

Officers, especially generals, considered it their duty to be properly dressed at all times, those with the means, most were from old estates and quite wealthy, adorned their uniforms to the extreme; since officers purchased their commissions. A fervour demanded that British soldiers should always be attired in uniforms that would bring respect and admiration to The Crown, no matter the weather, circumstances, or when marching to battle.

Accounts of the time usually refer to British soldiers as "Regulars" or "the King's men". However, there is evidence of the term "red coats" being used informally, as a colloquial expression.

Gorgets

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, crescent-shaped metal gorgets were worn by officers in most European armies as a badge of rank. Officers also wore gorgets, or gold metal plates, that hung on the front of their coats. These gorgets frequently included engraved details about the regiment. The gorgets, made from nickel silver or brass, follow that standard and are offered in a plain style or with a royal crest on the front. The body has a royal coat of arms with GR embossed referring to the reigning monarch, King George III (1738-1820).

This silver gorget was made in England in 1775-1776 for an officer of the British Army’s 60th or Royal American Regiment.

The crescent of bronze or silver worn at the throat of officers was the gorget, a reduced survival of the piece of earlier armour which protected the neck. They were also given to Indian war chiefs. This custom was followed for some time after the gorget was abolished in the British army. Doubtless, its use persisted among the Indians with whom it was popular both as an ornament and as an insignia of the wearer’s rank.

Swords and Sword-Knots

British Infantry Officer Sword with Field Scabbard

“No Sword can be properly regarded as complete without its appropriate knot”. British Army Officers Black Leather Sword Knot with Acorn Edged Weapons (used on William's sword - Outlander ep. 7-8) This black sword knot is used by various Officers in the British Army. The sword knot initiated existence as a simple cord attached to the hilt of the sword of a mounted soldier. The knot is in circumstance, a loop usually made out of leather. Before engaging with the enemy, the soldier wraps the loop around his wrist to prevent the loss of his sword, which can happen either in the heat of the battle or if he needs to relax his group to steady his mount.

The swords of each regiment were uniform, and the sword knots of the whole were crimson and gold in stripes. The hilts of the swords were either gilt or silver, according to the colour of the buttons on the uniforms.

The sword is a symbol of many things: chivalry, and honour, the sword is also traditionally a "personal" weapon. It is not something one draws from the Quartermaster's Stores to be returned later. It is meant to be part of the officer's uniform, to be at his side throughout his professional career, and to be priced in later years by his descendants.

In more recent years the sword knot has slowly changed to become a more decorative piece of uniform regalia. The design of it has also changed such that it now features a double strap which is also attached to the sword guard and wrapped around the hilt when not attached to the wrist.

Sashes

Officers wore colorful sashes around the waist, these long strips of cloth often had fringed ends. These sashes could act as a stretcher to help transport a wounded officer off the battlefield also served as a sling to assist those carrying the wounded commander from the field of battle. The sashes were usually red, but they could feature other colors, such as black, white or gold. In addition to their decorative function.

Military Shoulder Epaulettes

EPAULETTE with bullion fringe in gold. In the 18th the British military used single epaulettes to distinguish rank for junior army officers.

Uniforms worn by the British army varied greatly but eventually became standardised a few years in. During the war, many officers wanted a way of distinguishing and featuring their commissioned rank. This led officers of military units to petition for the right to wear epaulettes, to ensure that their status would be recognised.

By the early 18th century, epaulettes had become the distinguishing feature of commissioned rank. And no ranking in the British Army officer's uniform is complete without displaying your rank with a pair of shoulder boards or epaulettes.

Epaulettes were introduced into the British army by Royal Warrant on 19th December 1768. This prescribed that cavalry officers should have an “embroidered or laced Epaulette of Gold or Silver, with Fringe, on the Left Shoulder,” except for Light Dragoons, who were to have one on each shoulder; while infantry officers should wear a similar epaulette “on the Right Shoulder,” except for officers of the Grenadier Company of each Regiment, who were to have one on each shoulder. These regulations seem to have applied to officers up to the rank of Captain, while superior or “field” officers generally wore two epaulettes.

Field officers (Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel and Major) wore rich epaulettes with rich bullions on both shoulders. Captains of the Battalion company wore epaulettes with smaller bullions, and Subalterns (Lieutenant and Ensign/ Sub Lieutenant) of a similar company wore the same epaulette strap with fringes on the right shoulder only.

Conclusion

British soldiers fought in scarlet tunics for the last time at the Battle of Gennis in the Sudan on 30 December 1885. They formed part of an expeditionary force sent from Britain to participate in the Nile Campaign of 1884-85, wearing the "home service uniform" of the period including scarlet tunics, although some regiments sent from India were in khaki drill. A small detachment of infantry which reached Khartoum by steamer on 28 January 1885 were ordered to fight in their red coats in order to let the Mahdist rebels know that the real British forces had arrived.

Even after the adoption of khaki service dress in 1902, most British infantry and some cavalry regiments continued to wear scarlet tunics on parade and for off-duty "walking out dress", until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

Scarlet tunics ceased to be general issue upon British mobilisation in August 1914. The Brigade of Guards resumed wearing their scarlet full dress in 1920 but for the remainder of the army red coats were only authorised for wear by regimental bands and officers in mess dress or on certain limited social or ceremonial occasions (notably attendance at court functions or weddings). The reason for not generally reintroducing the distinctive full dress was primarily financial, as the scarlet cloth requires expensive cochineal dye.

The scarlet tunic remains in the current British Army Dress Regulations. It is one of three coloured tunics used by the British Army; alongside dark green tunics (used by The Rifles and Royal Gurkha Rifles), and dark blue tunics (used by several units, such as the Royal Artillery)

[theministerskat]

Do you ever randomly think of William Clarence Henry George Ransom, Ninth Earl of Ellesmere, and smile fondly because he is such a fucking hot mess, but also so damn loveable at the same time?

I do.

[whenfrasermetbeauchamp]

To his extreme surprise, the next few years were in many ways among the happiest of Jamie Fraser’s life, aside from the years of his marriage.

…

Above everything else, he had Willie. Helwater was dedicated to horses; even before the boy could stand solidly on his feet, his grandfather had him propped on a pony to be led round the paddock. By the time Willie was three, he was riding by himself—under the watchful eye of MacKenzie, the groom.

Willie was a strong, courageous, bonny little lad. He had a blinding smile, and could charm birds from the trees if he liked. He was also remarkably spoilt. As the ninth Earl of Ellesmere and the only heir to both Ellesmere and Helwater, with neither mother nor father to keep him under control, he ran roughshod over his doting grandparents, his young aunt, and every servant in the place—except MacKenzie.

And that was a near thing. So far, threats of not allowing the boy to help him with the horses had sufficed to quash Willie’s worst excesses in the stables, but sooner or later, threats alone were not going to be sufficient, and MacKenzie the groom found himself wondering just what was going to happen when he finally lost his own control and clouted the wee fiend.

…

“I shall be leaving tomorrow.” Jamie spoke matter-of-factly, not taking his eyes off the bay mare’s fetlock. The horny growth he was filing flaked away, leaving a dust of coarse black shavings on the stable floor.

“Where are you going? To Derwentwater? Can I come with you?” William, Viscount Dunsany, ninth Earl of Ellesmere, hopped down from the edge of the box stall, landing with a thump that made the bay mare start and snort.

…

The ninth Earl of Ellesmere had his chin thrust out as far as it would go, but the defiant look in his eye was tempered with a certain doubt as he intercepted Jamie’s cold blue gaze. Jamie set the horse’s hoof down slowly, just as slowly stood up, and drawing himself to his full height of six feet four, put his hands on his hips, looked down at the Earl, three feet six, and said, very softly, “No.”

“Yes!” Willie stamped his foot on the hay-strewn floor. “You have to do what I tell you!”

“No, I don’t.”

“Yes, you do!”

“No, I…” Shaking his head hard enough to make the red hair fly about his ears, Jamie pressed his lips tight together, then squatted down in front of the boy.

“See here,” he said, “I havena got to do what ye say, for I’m no longer going to be groom here. I told ye, I shall be leaving tomorrow.”

Willie’s face went quite blank with shock, and the freckles on his nose stood out dark against the fair skin.

“You can’t!” he said. “You can’t leave.”

“I have to.”

“No!” The small Earl clenched his jaw, which gave him a truly startling resemblance to his paternal great-grandfather. Jamie thanked his stars that no one at Helwater had likely ever seen Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. “I won’t let you go!”

…

Without a word, Jamie grabbed the boy by the collar, lifted him off his feet and carried him, kicking and squirming, to the farrier’s stool he had been using. Here he sat down, flipped the Earl over his knee, and smacked his buttocks five or six times, hard. Then he jerked the boy up and set him on his feet.

“I hate you!” The Viscount’s tear-smudged face was bright red and his fists trembled with rage.

“Well, I’m no verra fond of you either, ye little bastard!” Jamie snapped.

Willie drew himself up, fists clenched, purple in the face.

“I’m not a bastard!” he shrieked. “I’m not, I’m not! Take it back! Nobody can say that to me! Take it back, I said!”

Jamie stared at the boy in shock. There had been talk, then, and Willie had heard it. He had delayed his going too long.

He drew a deep breath, and then another, and hoped that his voice would not tremble.

“I take it back,” he said softly. “I shouldna have used the word, my lord.”

…

“Have you really got to go, Mac?” he asked, in a very small voice.

“Aye, I have.” He looked into the dark blue eyes, so heartbreakingly like his own, and suddenly didn’t give a damn what was right or who saw. He pulled the boy roughly to him, hugging him tight against his heart, holding the boy’s face close to his shoulder, that Willie might not see the quick tears that fell into his thick, soft hair.

Willie’s arms went around his neck and clung tight. He could feel the small, sturdy body shake against him with the force of suppressed sobbing. He patted the flat little back, and smoothed Willie’s hair, and murmured things in Gaelic that he hoped the boy would not understand.

At length, he took the boy’s arms from his neck and put him gently away.

“Come wi’ me to my room, Willie; I shall give ye something to keep.”

…

“What’s that little candle for?” Willie asked. “Grannie says only stinking Papists burn candles in front of heathen images.”

“Well, I am a stinking Papist,” Jamie said, with a wry twist of his mouth. “It’s no a heathen image, though; it’s a statue of the Blessed Mother.”

“You are?” Clearly this revelation only added to the boy’s fascination. “Why do Papists burn candles before statues, then?”

Jamie rubbed a hand through his hair. “Aye, well. It’s…maybe a way of praying—and remembering. Ye light the candle, and say a prayer and think of people ye care for. And while it burns, the flame remembers them for ye.”

“Who do you remember?” Willie glanced up at him. His hair was standing on end, rumpled by his earlier distress, but his blue eyes were clear with interest.

“Oh, a good many people. My family in the Highlands—my sister and her family. Friends. My wife.” And sometimes the candle burned in memory of a young and reckless girl named Geneva, but he did not say that.

Willie frowned. “You haven’t got a wife.”

“No. Not anymore. But I remember her always.”

Willie put out a stubby forefinger and cautiously touched the little statue. The woman’s hands were spread in welcome, a tender maternity engraved on the lovely face.

“I want to be a stinking Papist, too,” Willie said firmly.

“Ye canna do that!” Jamie exclaimed, half-amused, half-touched at the notion. “Your grandmama and your auntie would go mad.”

“Would they froth at the mouth, like that mad fox you killed?” Willie brightened.

“I shouldna wonder,” Jamie said dryly.

“I want to do it!” The small, clear features were set in determination. “I won’t tell Grannie or Auntie Isobel; I won’t tell anybody. Please, Mac! Please let me! I want to be like you!”

…

“I baptize thee William James,” he said softly, “in the name o’ the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

Willie blinked, crossing his eyes as a drop of water rolled down his nose. He stuck out his tongue to catch it, and Jamie laughed, despite himself.

“Why did you call me William James?” Willie asked curiously. “My other names are Clarence Henry George.” He made a face; Clarence wasn’t his idea of a good name.

Jamie hid a smile. “Ye get a new name when you’re baptized; James is your special Papist name. It’s mine, too.”

“It is?” Willie was delighted. “I’m a stinking Papist now, like you?”

...

“Good.” Jamie reached out and ruffled Willie’s hair in dismissal. “It’s almost time for your tea; ye’d best go on up to the house now.”

Willie started for the door, but stopped halfway, suddenly distressed again, with a hand pressed flat to his chest.

“You said to keep this to remember you. But I haven’t got anything for you to remember me by!”

Jamie smiled slightly. His heart was squeezed so tight, he thought he could not draw breath to speak, but he forced the words out.

“Dinna fret yourself,” he said. “I’ll remember ye.”

What’s in a name? What might have inspired Outlander’s episode titles?

Holy Bible (King James Version), Genesis 2: 21-25

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

16. William Ransom

I know many folk around these parts find him pointless and annoying, but I kind of love William Clarence Henry George Ransom, Lord Ellesmere for one reason: He’s Jamie's not-so-mini-me. This kid is a mess — the worst soldier ever and the Prince of ‘When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong’ —and it cracks me up to think about how damn messy Jamie was at 18. Illegal dueling! Picking fights with his uncles! Generally being an idiot! (Although let’s be honest: Jamie did not have his shit together when he married Claire [“Yes, the perfect solution to ‘both my uncles want to kill me for different reasons’ is to marry the widowed sassenach I just met but really want to bang” is just... *kisses fingers*] but I digress.)

Also, a summary of every conversation Jamie and Claire have about him:

Jamie: WTF is this kid doing? Claire: Exactly what you did at his age. Jamie: No, I would never... Claire:

S3 | Ep504 | Of Lost Things

William Clarence Henry George Ransom; The Ninth Earl of Ellesmere.

[theministerskat]

My excitement for the season 7 announcement is solely wrapped up in the fact that we may see William Clarence Henry George Ransom, ninth Earl of Ellesmere, in all his chaotic glory.

[hottokatratzi]

Good Lord, Claire and Jamie have a lot of children for a couple who don't have children.

[boyneriver-fraser]

What’s in a name? What might have inspired Outlander’s episode titles?

Holy Bible (King James Version), The Parable of Lost Things, Luke 15: 1-10

1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Fraser’s Ridge — we fervently hope — has a smith…

A fiendishly handsome smith, if I do say so myself…

So, he taught you blacksmithing?

Aye. I mastered all order of smithery.

— Young Ian Murray, Murtagh FitzGibbons Fraser ⚔️, S4E5 Savages

And soon, Fraser’s Ridge will have an engineer…

You never wondered whether John Adams or or Teddy Roosevelt or John Kennedy stood under these same arches?

Nope. No, I was always fascinated with how this was built. That every single piece of stone is held in place by the pressure of the one next to it.

It’s based on measurements, calculations, precision.

There’s a truth to this building.

That doesn’t sound like the daughter of a historian.

Well, I’m not, am I? I’m the daughter of an 18th-century highlander.

— Brianna Randall Fraser MacKenzie, Roger Wakefield MacKenzie, S3E5 Freedom & Whisky

One who is as brave and determined as her mother…

Imagine the Projects. Imagine the Inventions. Imagine the improvements.

A smith makes things from metal.

an arrowsmith forges arrow heads

a blacksmith works with iron and steel

a bladesmith forges knives, swords and other blades

a coppersmith works with copper

a fendersmith makes and repairs the metal fender before fireplaces

a goldsmith works with gold

a gunsmith works with guns

a locksmith works with locks

a pewtersmith works with pewter

a silversmith, works with silver;

a tinsmith works with light metal

a swordsmith is a bladesmith who forges only swords

An engineer invents, designs, analyzes, builds, and tests machines, systems, structures and materials.

Imagine the discussions. Imagine the arguments. Imagine the FUN!

Speaking of fun — and fervent hope — Fraser’s Ridge soon will also have a GRANDPA! 

It’s no secret Murtz has a muckle soft spot for Jamie Fraser… and for bairns… For Jamie Fraser’s bairns?! There could never be a more devoted, a more protective, a more proud grandfather.

(Park your Willie hate at the door, people. He is blood of Jamie’s blood, and that’s all about it. Hmmpf.)

Long live the Godfather! Long live the Grandfather! Long live Murtagh FitzGibbons Fraser ⚔️
