Hello! Despite it being six months later than I anticipated, I just posted the first chapter of my new Outlander fic, (A Little Longer) Where We Are (aka the vet fic). Come for Claire and Jamie and stay to see just how many pet names I can come up with. archiveofourown.org/works/871272...

Also, I think this season is mid.

disagreeing about this piece of art! (This is starting to sound a lot like “dance like nobody is watching!” which means it is time for me to go to bed!)

Your opinion isn’t a fact & neither is mine & we both have a right to share them without being made to feel bad about! We are disagreeing about art & that is part of what makes art fun and important! So gush! Complain! Revel in the fact that we get to spend time talking about, loving, &

Say you love it! Say you hate it! Be curious why someone thinks differently than you and not defensive about it. It’s a tv show and it is meant to be both loved AND critiqued! Don’t make people feel bad for having different opinions than you, even if their opinions make you mad!

What a beautiful pairing of leaving and returning home and knowing where home truly is 🥹🥹🥹🥹

I know the drabbles have been inconsistent but we can’t go into season 8 without me first finishing my season 7 series! So a trifecta for you today, featuring POVs from Jane, Denzell, and Fanny. ❤️

Stubborn
7x14

I spot Fanny a few tents down, giggling at something another girl just whispered into her ear. A true moment of joy for a girl so rarely without anything to be joyous about. I haven’t been able to give her the childhood she deserves, our safety tenuous and my insubstantial income rarely enough. Camping with the army is hardly a solution, but I don’t think we would mind if the war went on for as long as possible. At least here we are well fed and have more than enough blankets to keep us warm. And William’s foolhardy, stubborn protection.

Improbability
7x15

I clenched my hands into fists, breathing deeply, willing the tremulous energy to leave me, or at least to leave my shaking hands. There had been more complicated surgeries and in worse conditions than an airy, abandoned church. But Claire was not just another patient, nor Jamie another terrified spouse. My hands shook at the potential loss of medical brilliance should the surgery fail. At the possible loss of a love so deep and so vast that Jamie, too, would die. I let my eyes close, holding Claire in the Light. Holding us all in the improbability of hope.

Enough
7x16

My memories of my mother are mostly blurry, as if I cannot trust whether or not they actually happened. As if she was never fully real, never fully mine. But my memories of my sister are clear and solid. They feel sharp in a way that might hurt me if I think of her too much. I am too young to have experienced such loss, William told me. But I have. I have almost nothing of them left. A necklace. A lock of hair. A song. All of which I will keep with me forever. None of which are enough.

😂 A battle that will test the strongest and bravest in the land

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I remain terrible at Wednesdays but I have drabbles to share! Since I’m doing a different POV for every s7 episode, we have reached the phase of leas familiar to me POVs. This week we have William and Jem!

True
7x12

I wish he had punched me. Or I him. I long for the clarity that comes from physical action. A punch given or received would have fortified my sense of indignation and hotheaded righteousness. Instead I am left with my swirling rage of thoughts, with no outlet for the betrayals, and no escape from my guilt. I pound my fist hard and repeatedly against my thigh, desperate to find a way to distract myself, but it is for naught. My existence is a lie. I have no idea who I am, and no idea of what about me is true.

Solider
7x13

I don’t know why it happens, but sometimes I will suddenly remember something Grannie or Grandda would say. They pop into my head at random moments and it suddenly is like one of them is in the room with me again. When I was down in the dam, I kept thinking about what Grandda would do and how brave he would be. But when I got scared and felt tired, it was Grannie who was there to encourage me, just like she always encouraged Grandda. I could hear her whispering “On your feet, soldier,” keeping me safe in the dark.

No one deserves this mannnnn 😭😭😭😭

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Boy do I have two fun season 7 drabbles for you today! 🙈 Both are about grief (fun!!), courtesy of Old Ian and Lord John. Enjoy? 😅

Endure
7x10

I’m on his left, probably for the last time on this Earth, and it is foolish, I know, given we have lived an ocean apart for the better part of ten years, but I cannot help but worry who will stand sentry besides him once I am gone. It has been a rare gift, having a brother. To have both the responsibility for and protection of the only person who, at every age, never expected anything from me save myself. He has other friends. He has Claire. But I can help but grieve the loss we must both now endure.

Rage
7x11

In a sincere but slightly heedless attempt to comfort me, William offhandedly mused, based on the intensity of my grief, he had not realized just how close the Helwater groom and I had been. It was not said unkindly, but like every word of comfort uttered to me these last several days, it was interpreted with a silent, petulant rage. The only person entitled to more rage was his widow, the person I had spent so much of my life envying and despising for having what I could not. And now she was all I had to remember, to protect.

Truly the best way to start a Monday. 🥰

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Lots of people are assuming it is like the BOMB premiere but they haven’t said anything about there being an additional confirmation and based on what they shared in stories it really just is show up and good luck! 🙃🙃🙃🙃 It is galling.

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Based on what they shared in their stories last week, those who have RSVP’d will be expected to wait in line at the event and will be allowed in as long as there is space. No one without an RSVP can get in. But an RSVP does not guarantee admission. There is no additional confirmation being provided.

10/10 no notes. Funny and sweet and is officially canon in my book. 🥰💖

It was Saturday before I realized I completely forgot to post my drabble last week? Things are scattered and unwieldy over here. But that means you get two this week! 💖 One from Rachel’s pov and one from Laoghaire’s…👀

Him
7x08

Rollo laid quietly at my feet, curled into a ball, his eyes occasionally shutting before they would snap open again, making sure I was still there. He seemed to believe it was his responsibility to watch me, not the other way around. Maybe that was what Ian actually intended when he left his dog with me. I was surprised to realize I did not mind the idea as much as I thought. It was comforting to know someone besides my brother might care so fiercely about my safety. That he might care about me as much as I do him.

Angry
7x09

It had been years, a decade, since I last laid eyes on him. Lives converged and diverged between us, our mutual love and devotion to the girls the sole, long fraying thread tethering us together, perhaps finally ready to break. And yet, the sight of him, greying with the requisite wear and tear of age, left me as breathless and covetous as ever. And angry. Angry that the mere sight of this man; this man who effortlessly loved my daughters as his own but could never make an effort to love me; still had such stubborn hold over my heart.

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

It’s just so galling. 😩

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Thanks my dear! 🫶 I’ve never written from Roger’s POV before so this was a tricky one for me to work out.

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Ahhhh this is completely adorable and I love it so. 🥰

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

It’s inexplicably already and only Wednesday, so it’s time to drabble. This week we have a Roger POV for 7x07, with him trying to make sense of sudden appearance the person who was responsible for his near-death. Fun! 😅

Breathe
7x07

His eyes keep darting back to Buck, his mind knowing there is no immediate threat. But his body thinks otherwise. His throat constricting, the echoes of pain long subsided suddenly searing through him. It is already hard enough to make sense of the man before him being in this place and this time, let alone with having to grapple with what level of hospitality he was supposed to provide the man that sent him to his death. His eyes find Brianna’s, who are observing him with concern, the two of them both trying to remember how they relearned to breathe.

Stepping back into the drabble game after a few weeks off, and picking up where we left off on our S7 adventure (a different character POV for each episode). This week, we are at 7x06 and in Claire’s familiar and comforting perspective. 💞

Justice
7x06

He’s younger, just slightly, than Jamie was when we first met. But there is a hunger in his eyes, a desperate yearning, that is so strikingly evocative of my early days in Jamie’s company. William, like Jamie at that tender age, was struggling to understand, let alone channel his fierce sense of justice productively instead of indiscriminately and often foolishly. As I try to explain this to Jamie, I struggle to articulate why this shared youthful restlessness for good, more than their physical resemblance or aptitude for pigheaded stubbornness, is how I know William will eventually find his way back.

💀💀💀 a perfect 100 word comedy that is also 100% true to character.

Screaming about how tender and honest this one is. 🥺 And also about how you managed to bring so much care and emotion in 100 words. 💞

I’m three weeks behind on Leah drabbles and here comes the catch up. This one is 🥺🥺🥺. Akin to leaving the porch light on for someone, but also so much sweeter. 💖

Cassie @casandras.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Taking notes on the picture books so I can further expand the wee nephew’s library (which he is only interested in chewing on right now 😂)

It’s so good and so cozy! 🥹

And there are a handful of books I read that I found tedious and insufferable by the time I got to the end (coughtheministryoftimecough).

020

*Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston *The Street by Ann Petry *There is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone *A Flower Travelled in My Blood by Haley Cohen Gilliland

Some of the books I loved: *Dominion by Addie Citchens *The Wilderness by Angela Flournoy *A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Madanna *The Everlasting by Alix E Harris *The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson *Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li

I read 170 books in 2025. A lot of them on audio because I got a dog that needs 90 minutes - 2 hours of walking a day (😅).

250

And that might mean a cold stare or mild harassment until they read! 🤷‍♀️🤭

020

I’m ready to just straight bully people into reading it. 😂

So many good books on your list!! 🥰
