Summary
What if the unthinkable happened? What if in the first book when Jamie escaped the Black Watch and was looking for Claire and Murtagh, then he rounded a hill and the six dragoons that -in the story- captured him, had instead killed him?
Before you get ruffled feathers, the side of me not writing fiction is rather pragmatic and logical. In writing fanfiction where anything is possible, then everything is possible and this situation should be considered. I am very glad this is not the way the novels are written! When contemplating different writing cues my brain insisted this had to be acknowledged.
Let’s move on from my personal angst.
If Jamie had died when he rounded that corner, he wouldn't have to go through the painful torture, but he would be gone.
He would’ve died fighting, like the highland warrior we all recognize.
There was no deal with Dougal because Jamie was already gone.
In this story we pick up after Jamie is buried at Lallybroch.
(Don’t forget though, Claire can time travel, hint, hint, hint)
