All done with my big work conference and I *think* I can take some time off next week. Current WIP has less than six chapters left to draft so I’m crossing my fingers the writing brain will cooperate. I wrote a drabble before I left and one between panels, so #Wednesday100 is set for a bit.

I’m so thrilled for you, friend! Work takes up so much space in life, it’s such a relief when it’s fulfilling and not a massive energy drain.

Happy #Wednesday100! Back to the angst mines this week. Have some late S8 Jamie, having dreams that comfort him about his fate, and Claire finding nothing of the kind. Inspired by how he is so much more at peace in the back half than she is.

You know you’ve been in fandom for a long time when you need a new PIN for something and your internal debate is “which fictional character’s birthday am I using?”

One of them has watched a few seasons of the show (and all of us are queer women) so it was basically a round of 😍🫠

Just normal fangirl things: went out for drinks with friends tonight. Did I show them pictures of my kid? No. Did I show them this week’s Caitriona pictures? Absolutely yes.

A friend of mine jokes that there’s a stable of actors they’re required to use for UK productions so once you’re in a fandom for one or two you see them everywhere. 😂

Things you accidentally discover when doing Modern AU research: there is also an Inverness, Florida. Will not be using that in this story they takes place in Scotland, though. 😂 Also found the actual thing I was looking for, thank goodness.

You know me, all about Jenny and Claire having a restorative dram. If I hadn’t had a plot to get to that would have been every third chapter of Not Time’s Fool. 🥰😂

Happy #Wednesday100! Have some Modern AU Jenny and Claire, enjoying a drink since the kids are all grown up and ignoring them. Title is from Tennyson’s “Ulysses” and means “to drink life to the fullest.” More or less.

Drink Life to the Lees

“Look at them, gigglin’ like children over good whisky,” Jenny says, shaking her head at Brianna and Marsali as they run up the stairs with their bounty.

“Not the best,” Claire points out, sliding the hidden panel loose and producing their shared favorite. “We’ll let them think they’ve gotten away with something.”

“And now we ken Marsali’s no’ pregnant yet. I’m surprised Fergus let her out o’ his sight. Or that Jamie let you out o’ his. I suppose you told him you’ve missed me, so he’d go off wi’ Ian.”

“I only told the truth. Drink up, will you?”

Friday writing cave: I still have no idea what the final chapter count is, but I’ve written ten and Jenny’s in some of them, so we’re making progress. Can’t wait to introduce y’all to Modern AU Lamb and his partner, Firouz. Claire totally deserved three dads.

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Writing cave: The Modern AU has a playlist, this is getting real. Do I know the final chapter count? Absolutely not. Are the chapter titles based on the songs like I did for Not Time’s Fool? Probably not. Did Olivia Rodrigo sneak onto the playlist because I have a tween? Absolutely yes.

It’s the best when the same person (or probably the same person), is clearly methodically going through your stuff. 😍

Happy #Wednesday100! This one’s Modern AU JamieClaire, adjusting to Faith being away for university. Began with an image of Jamie on FaceTime with John Grey, which is where it opens. Claire POV.

Growing Pains

“Faith loves LSE, Jamie.” When Jamie makes a skeptical noise, John adds, “I promise she doesn’t need to move into our guest room.” John and Hector’s twins were in the NICU too. They all know what it is to parent surrounded by wires and monitors. Where alarms nearly drown out loving words. Where hope is measured in ounces, and deep breaths are miracles.

After they hang up, Claire takes Jamie’s face in her hands. “She was so small, Sassenach. You remember.”

“She was. But she’s strong. Like always.”

Faith calls in the morning, and Jamie’s smile is its own sunrise.

I adore Foyle’s War—impeccably researched and so moving, it’ll be great for your Heartsong writing brain. I also second Line of Duty and Shetland. Those were some of the first new-to-me shows I started watching during the toddler parenting years.

Yeah, I was telling my tween the other day one of the most important things I ever did in school was our AP Gov assignment to read the Constitution. I think I’d cry doing it now though…

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I also had that exact thought when I wrote this. Honestly, I have that thought any time I write Bree with both her parents. We *never* saw enough of that in the everyday life scenes and even DG doesn’t do it often.

I *think* it was @erinmangerer.bsky.social who went back and forth with me about how we should have seen more discussion of the 1739 trip, especially Brian. I loved Bree telling Brian she knows what devotion to a spouse is, can understand his love for Ellen, because of her parents. So here we are!

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Happy #Wednesday100! I stabbed everyone a little bit with that Bree drabble last week, I know. So here’s S8 Bree telling her parents about meeting Brian Fraser in 1739, no angst in sight.

Reunion and Rediscovery

Brianna sets three glasses
on the table, and waits for her parents.

“Roger told you we met Grandda Brian. I did my best to tell him you’re happy.”

“You couldna tell him the truth of you.”

“But I could tell him my father found the love of his life.”

“You chose the right thing, m’anssachd.”

As Mama reaches for him, he calls her a new nickname. Or an old one.

Life with her parents is always a translation exercise, and not just because her Gaelic is rusty. Tomorrow, she’ll ask Ian what “Sorcha” means.

She lifts her glass. “To home.”

Real life has slowed down just enough I thought I would make some serious ficwriting progress this month. Then there was a lab error with my new glasses—My bifocal is correct but the distance got all messed up, so I just need to write with my laptop held exactly where my phone is…easy, right? 😂

131

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This one’s more like: “You think you need to slick your hair back for us to get married?” “To get a proper job, aye!” “You might as well have used my curl cream, that hairspray is absurd.” “Don’t change the subject, Sassenach.” “I’m not, the subject is that you’re ridiculous and you look it!”

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Not gonna lie, I injured myself a little there. 😭😭😭 I’ve been thinking for a bit about Bree’s arc with her parents. She has to re-learn Claire, but she always knows the most authentic version of Jamie. And how comforting that must be. Then the angst brick fell on my head. 🥹

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Writing cave update: since I injured everyone with angst yesterday, I feel compelled to note I’m still working on the RomCom Modern AU. Here’s hoping I can pull off the “we’re arguing but it’s also funny” part of this arc.

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I love angst, what can I say? And I have to admit I appreciate that this landed with you even knowing Claire wakes up. 🥹 In one of my S4/S5 era oneshots I have J tell Claire, “I worship you, and there I find God” and I love working the idea in anywhere else I can. ❤️

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I love angst and banter in about equal measure, is the thing about me…writing that last line of this one hurt me too, if that’s any comfort. 😭

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A lot of my writing starts with a snatch of dialogue or internal monologue and I have to work back and figure out what’s happening. That last sentence was how this one arrived in my head and I just sat there and said, “Ouch, Bree” to myself. 🥹

MC @dagnylilytable.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

More angst for this week’s #Wednesday100, sort of a companion piece to last week’s if you squint. Bree, during Claire’s Season 6 illness.
