    Summary

    Teenage dreams led Claire and Jamie down diverging paths, separate lives carved out of youthful ambition. Hometown holidays became fleeting reunions, stolen moments clinging to the ghost of teenage love. But something shifted, something broke. With an engagement, a secret took root and a daughter was born. Years later, Claire returns to Inverness with Faith, drawn back to the familiar town and the shadow of an unresolved past. Some loves leave an indelible mark, and some secrets refuse to stay buried, especially when fate has other plans.

    Summary

    Claire Beauchamp, Duchess of Havenford has a title, but no money. Jamie Fraser of Lallybroch has money, but no title. In an effort to secure their futures, Lord Lambert Beauchamp and Mrs. Ellen Fraser form an alliance and pledge their young children to marry. In hopes of coaxing the children toward love, they arrange for Claire to spend every summer at Lallybroch until her coming out.

    Unfortunately for Lamb and Ellen, being forced to spend their summers together is NOT Claire and Jamie’s idea of fun.

    Summary

    While not a cross-over in the strict sense of the meaning, I have appropriated several plot devices from both the current show about immortals, Forever, and another earlier show about an immortal, New Amsterdam (which starred Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) that I actually preferred the back-story for, and pulled them into a purely Outlander character-scape. The Outlander references are a mix of the books and the TV series, so don't jump down my throat on date differences!
    Simply put, Jamie Fraser is immortal, and his path is about to cross once again with Claire, and Brianna, the daughter he has never had the chance to meet. Picking up where Dragonfly in Amber left off, what happens if Claire can't go back, but Jamie never dies?
