NSFW chapters that left us hot and flustered - A Master Post
Sooo… @ladyviolethummingbird said it would be great to have a list of everyone’s fave NSFW chapters. All she had to do was say the word.
Enjoy and add your own!

Flood My Mornings by @bonnie-wee-swordsman - chap. 7 [AO3]
Jamie goes through the stones, finds Claire in 1950, and tries to convince her that he’s not a ghost. I SOBBED reading this chapter. DEAD.
He felt his eyelids fall closed, time seeming to slow as he allowed himself to be dragged downward, his body remembering the way of hers without thought. His throat burned with grief. His chest heaved with loss. He felt his breath hot on his lips as he whispered,“‘Til our life shall be done, Claire.”
And with a sob of despair, he thrust home.
*
So Long As I’m With You by @claryclark - chap. 18 [AO3]
Ex-First Lady Claire and ex-bodyguard Jamie on their wedding night. DEAD.
They moved together as he whispered to her his awe of her body, how good she felt wrapped around him, how the curves of her flesh drove him feral with need. He rocked his hips against her like the waves of the ocean breaking against the shore. Rolling, rising, and crashing, moving at a steady and practiced pace, controlled and agonizingly slow. She felt desperate as he withdrew from her, gasping and biting into her skin, before pitching back in, bit by bit, until he filled her once more.
*
Her Royal Highness by @missclairebelle - chap. 14 [AO3]
Queen-of-England Claire and Crown Equerry Jamie making love for the first time in THE CABIN. DEAD.
“No man has ever done… that… to me… for me.”
For a moment he looked at her, the tension in his brows fading. He lifted his chin, placed a single kiss where it had been resting. “I’ve dreamed of having ye like this for weeks, Claire,” he confessed, fingers sinking deeper into the soft flesh of her thighs. Though the statement required no clarification, he said, “Beneath my mouth.”
*
Five ways Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp break in their new home by @missclairebelle - part 2.0: washing machine [tumblr]
I think the title says it all. Home, sweet home. DEAD.
My voice faded off as I cried his name. “Jamie…” He was fostering an urgency in me, as though his ultimate goal was to make his name the only thing I had.
Chest heaving, I submitted to his mouth’s demand. Without him asking, I turned those two syllables into my mantra, squirming against the mounting insistence of his fingers. The click as the washer flipped to the spin cycle, a quick vibration that I felt everywhere, jolted me and made me shriek.
*
Clair(e)voyance by @notevenjokingfic - chap. 4.5 [here]
Jamie teaches Claire some Gaelic in bed with a fun exercise. DEAD.
“Easy, Sorcha.” Jamie wrapped a large hand around her leg, pressed on her to lower herself again. “Dinna run from me just yet.”
He licked her again, tongue flat. He lifted his chin, rubbed the sensitive skin between her legs with the scruff on his chin. She twitched. Moaned. When she looked at him again, he smiled. A smile that said, trust me. I’ll take care of you.
*
Brave Enough to Love You by @laythornmuse - chap. 5 and 6 [master list] [AO3]
After a rocky start to their marriage, Claire and Jamie connect in the Laird’s bedroom. DEAD.
What she saw frightened and thrilled her. He stared at her, his eyes dark and hungry as he rolled between her knees and parted her thighs with his hips. A single thrust and he was inside her to the hilt, their lips exchanging moans and breathy gasps at the feel of their joining. Claire felt stretched and full, and her belly quivered as she watched the emotion and pleasure ripple over Jamie’s face. He looked maddened and euphoric, and Claire felt her heart grow bold at having caused such pleasure.
*
This Is Us by @abbydebeaupreposts - chap. 35 [AO3]
Claire and Jamie decide to try for a second child. They will need to go through an IVF procedure, but in Jamie’s words: “there is nothing more arousing than thinking of having baby-making sex with my wife!” DEAD.
Her mouth pressed against his ear, “I love it when you fuck me like this.” She felt his whole body shudder and he made a strangled noise in response. “How soaking wet I get when you lose control?” It was no lie. They both knew exactly how wet she was, how unbelievably hard his body was and how the friction, the bite of the wind between their legs, the grunts he was making were driving them both wild.
*
Back To You by @balfeheughlywed - Part 2, chap. 5 [AO3]
Garden shed, (unknowingly) pregnant sex. Need I say more? DEAD.
“Anyone could come in and see us.” “Let them,” he whispered, his eyes dark as he looked at her. She could feel his words and the look on his face in the rush of blood in her veins, in the way her pulse began to race to a completion she knew only he could bring her.
The rational part of her brain knew she should tell him to save it for later, when they were sure to be left alone, but the other part of her brain — the one that turned to mush when he so much as looked at her — had other plans. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in closer as she crushed her mouth against his.”

I haven’t read all of them and I’m soooo excited!!!
Her Royal Highness by @missclairebelle - chap. 15 (Cabin) - [AO3] [tumblr]
Without another word, he spun them, lifting her to the counter and untying the robe. “I’ll never tire of this,” he said, though his words were lost in the incoherent moan she let loose as he took her breast in his hand, guided the peak between his lips. With his pajama pants pooled at his feet, his sweater knotted in her fingers, he entered her with the kind of blind passion that leads people to various indiscretions (to roger a woman outside of a pub in an alleyway, to allow fingers an exploration far further north beneath a wife’s skirt beneath a table draped in linen while discussing business with a colleague, or to fumble about for a space to land in a coat closet, joined among the foreign-scented winter things of strangers).
*
Back To You by @balfeheughlywed - Arc I chap. 7 - [AO3] [tumblr]
Claire, a college senior, has met Jamie on campus - but he’s dating Laoghaire. FINALLY, he shows up at her flat and tells her she’s everything to him. DEAD.
His hips lifted off the mattress, a sound stuck between a moan and a groan leaving his lips. She took him deeper into her mouth, sucking, his hands tangling in her curls. When she used her teeth to scrape against him lightly, he bucked hard against her, both of them fighting to control their breathing.
She felt a thrill rush through her at the knowledge that he was completely under her power, his body belonging to her ( only her) as she worked him over, tongue and teeth and lips and hands. A startled gasp escaped her as he pulled her off him, flipping them over so he was on top of her.
*
Loss Ficlet “May 1, 2017″ by @missclairebelle [AO3] [tumblr]
Claire leaves home to celebrate Jamie’s birthday in little more than a trenchcoat and a smile. DEAD.
“Then why ever in the world did you put me on your desk?” I slipped my fingers into the waistband of his dress trousers, pulling him closer. “It seems silly to waste your energy carrying me around if you don’t want to follow through.”
“What I want to do is to take ye right here on my desk.”
*
Streetlights by @claryclark - chap. 4 [AO3] [tumblr]
Claire has just moved to London, and meets a handsome rugby player. DEAD.
I dug my teeth into the flesh of his earlobe before whispering, “I need you inside me.”
He stumbled a bit at that and for a second I thought we might crash to the floor. Not that I would have minded. Instead he staggered over to the wall, there in the hallway that led to his bedroom, slamming me back against it. His mouth was warm and frantic on mine, while my hands busied themselves at the clasp of his belt. He broke the kiss, putting his lip to my ear, grinding against me as I whimpered.
“Do ye have any idea,” He began, before reaching down between us to run run his hand over my lacy black panties. He hissed loudly, feeling the wetness there.
*
An interruption in the first law in thermodynamics by @whiskynottea - chap. 24 [AO3] [tumblr]
Jamie and Claire meet in High School and the adventure of togetherness begins. In this chapter, they walk through the Meadows at night and sit on a bench… [excited to read this one!!]
“Did anyone see us?” I asked him, once I met his eyes again. “Or hear us?” I was blushing even more, if that was even possible, but it turned out it wasn’t.
“I dinna ken.” He whispered, never taking his eyes from mine. “I dinna care.” He was still breathing heavily. “Ye… Ye drive me crazy, Claire.” Seeing that I didn’t reply, he added. “I’ve never done this before.”
I smiled at that, running my tongue on his bottom lip. “Me neither.”
*
Scalpel and Needle Arc I by @kalendraashtar - chap. 19 [AO3] [tumblr]
Claire shows up at Jamie’s door to confess her feelings… DEAD.
“And like this.” Throwing her a provocative gaze, he kneeled in front of her, helping her out of her jeans. Holding her eyes with his own, Jamie kissed the promise of warmth between her legs with such reverence that she almost collapsed. “And definitely like this.” Agonizingly slowly he hooked his fingers around her knickers and guided them in the direction of the floor, exposing her whole body to his marvelled contemplation. His palms found their grip on her round arse, his thumbs gently caressing the wings of her hip bones, as he guided her to sit on the armchair, his face secure between her legs.
*
The Rivers Between us by @jmoonrise - chap. 16 [AO3]
They were once two strangers passing each other, but maybe all love needs is a second chance. [excited to read this one!!]
“Claire, only for you,” I breathed into the hollow of her neck. She grasped my face and her eyes stared into mine, searching for something, and seemed to find it. My breathing was fast and labored, and I nearly caused my bottom lip to bleed. I kissed her and sank my tongue into her sweet mouth. Her tongue tangled languidly with mine as our bodies continued to rock together
*
A Man’s Soul by Jillian K - chap. 12 [AO3]
Claire is a widow with a young son in colonial North Carolina. Jamie is a mistreated indentured slave with a very painful past. [excited to read this one!!]
He carried her to her bed, laying her carefully across the cream and blue quilt. She buried herself into its softness, her eyes slitted with lust for him, inviting him, beckoning him to her. The deep ache in him throbbed at the sight. His lady at last. A flash of lightening illuminated her beautifully. Jamie didn’t know where to start.
*
On Deadline by @convivialcamera - chap 12. [AO3] [tumblr]
Jamie is a reporter working for his uncle’s newspaper, and Claire comes into the Leoch Times as a new photographer. After a slow burn, THIS happens. DEAD.
He drew me to him again and had me neatly pinned under him before I could suck in air. Now completely in control, the power of his body became pressingly apparent. He was everywhere and I was falling apart in the frenzy. “Oh fuck,” said James Fraser, “Claire.”
*
Jimjeran Island Fever by @betweenthescenes - chap. 20 [AO3] [tumblr]
Claire is a nurse in the Peace Corps, spending 18 months in the Marshall Islands. Down the road, three Peace Corps volunteers–Jamie, Angus, and Rupert–are running the local elementary school. This is Jamie and Claire’s wedding night. [excited to read this one!!!]
I got up on my knees, kissing his chest and neck. Though he seemed to enjoy the feel of my breasts in his hands, he finally said, “I dinna need any more turning on, Claire. Are you ready for me?”
“Of course,” I said, lying down and opening myself to him, watching his face as he entered me, his eyes widening in wonder.
THANK ME LATER GUYS!!!

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, 2017 (dir. Griffin Dunne)
Saturday morning, on the 26th of October, a Nazi walked into a Pittsburgh synagogue, shouting “All Jews must die!” and opened fire. He killed eleven Jewish people, including grandparents, husbands, wives, and a doctor remembered for his compassionate care of his patients during the AIDs crisis. Several of them were there celebrating a baby-welcoming ceremony for a gay couple’s newly adopted twins.
This was the deadliest antisemitic attack in all 364 years of American Jewish history. Jews all over the world are shaken, upset, and scared. We know that this could have been any of us, but beyond that, this attack struck at the heart of our people. We were attacked in a place of safety and sanctity. We were reminded that as Jews, we are not safe in America. And we lost eleven Jewish souls.
Some of us are grieving, some of us are angry, some of us are devastated, some of us are numb, some of us are crying, some of us are terrified, some of us are anxious, and some of us can barely walk up the stairs because this doesn’t make any sense and yet it makes so much sense because we all, on some level, imagined this was coming. Our history has taught us that our safety is never guaranteed, and over the past two years we have watched the sickening rise of Nazism and antisemitism all over the world, including in America, where, despite our history, many of us had been lulled into believing it could never happen here.
We lost a third of the world’s Jewish population within living memory. So many Jewish families, in every country, fled antisemitic violence within the past few generations. The tragedy we just experienced is visceral, it’s terrifying, it’s devastating.
So please, check in on your Jewish friends and ask how they are doing. Please, take a moment to understand and absorb this tragedy. Please, understand how this is not just yet another mass shooting (that while theoretically tragic, you don’t really have the space for another one, what with compassion fatigue), but rather an attack that pierced the heart of a group of people already carrying centuries of pain and trauma. Please, make space for this one. Please, when you talk about this, don’t use generalized language about hate and about how no one should be killed for their religion. Please speak the words: Jewish. Antisemitic. Say this was an antisemitic attack, on Jewish people. And please, keep us in your thoughts today.
Folks who aren’t Jewish, you can reblog this. In fact I’d be grateful if you did.
So true
I think I finally got this to work…

Character
In regards to Caitriona and Sam, let’s just take a look at Sam’s character. He is one of the kindest actors out there. I have heard it said one too many times from fans, photographers, coworkers, charity organizers & costars to not believe it. I am not talking about perfection. I’m not going into the debacle of last year (or the con cancellations), I’m talking about his character as a person, as a whole.
Caitriona herself said when asked what she wished people knew about Sam that they may not know, she said, “he is very considerate." I’ve seen him hold her chair, hold her coat, help her with her coat, clap harder than anyone when she is introduced, when she danced, when it was her birthday.
Graham said Sam was like Jamie and I think he meant it. I’ve seen so many of his silly posts over the years from a overstuffed dishwasher (or was it a washing machine) with bubbles everywhere…..his over-the-top cuteness over Stranger Things, his cat IG stories in Miami, his goofiness with his drivers, cast members from OL and Spy, his gym buddies…..
At the last con, he slipped my friend an extra signature when she didn’t even ask. At the Seattle Con, his autographs ran out quickly and some of us didn’t even have an option to purchase them. When one fan walked past him (Caitriona was on his right, and the exit doors were on the left) and ignored him after she talked to Cait, he said, "fine, just ignore me” or something like that. She told him he was “sold-out” and he had her sneak over and he signed something for her.
I think his mom raised him with moral character. I think its why many women fall for him. He is rare in HW. He doesn’t come across as arrogant. For someone who looks the way he does and is so athletic, he comes across as shy and even a bit insecure at times, but it makes him endearing. The rest of the stuff makes him adorkable. Caitriona has said “you are a ridiculous human being” to him when you know she loves every bit of it.
So, this long ramble has a point. Sam’s character. With the last two years, you have to weigh in his character with “events." This is part of why, in spite of everything, I am still a shipper (or at least a "believer” and a sea-sick one).
1) If we are/were to believe Sam dated the blond he would have broken up a long-term relationship. In fact, the blond had just been on an overseas vacation with her ex the month before they supposedly started dating. We also know she was still seeing her ex in some capacity in the following months. So, this would show a lack of character IF he broke them up. Worse, he would have gone on a romantic trip to the exact same place she spent the exact year before for NYE with her ex. I think this shows poor character and flies in the face of who I believe Sam is. If you believe that relationship though, you have to also believe Sam isn’t the “very considerate” person everyone who meets him and knows him says he is.
2) If Caitriona met and has been dating the “love she found” while filming Outlander, it would have been during all of the urban tweeting, dry-h@mping, pie-eating, banoffie-eating, #eatingbalfe (that’s a lot of….nevermind….), “my Sassenach,”, #wifey SM activity. They also magically get online or talk about tennis at 1 a.m. or 4 a.m. or some pretty odd hours. Hmmmmm, is it “good character” to be so in sync on SM regardless of time zones, sabbaticals, working hours, nonworking hours.
3) During their cover shoots (yes, plural), we have been suspicious because of “film cuts/edits,” that some smooching might have occurred. We were actually proven right with Season 3 BTS when they did. Truly, I know they not only kiss on OL and A LOT, but they throw in a whole lotta extra kissing based on scripts released. But, during a cover shoot?? Is that necessary? Is that a character flaw of Sam’s that he would just sneak those in on someone who was committed to someone else?
4) BTS. Yeh, about those. From Season 1 cuddles to Season 4 heart eyes & Fife suspicious activity, I know actors are touchy-feely, but I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t be concerned if they saw their SO acting that way. I have seen several journalists now flirt with Sam. Other than a couple he is comfortable with, he gives off a defensive mechanism. It is pretty bad character for him to carry-on with his costar when she is committed to someone else, yes?
5) People didn’t assign Sam the “gumby arm” and “leaning tower of Heughan” for no reason. He does it when it isn’t even comfortable sometimes. He blushes when he is asked about them. He stammers when asked or barely gets through “we are not together,” on a panel yet, when the LA journalist asked about how his GF felt about his scenes, he doesn’t blush, light-up, smile but instead talks about his mother. She plays with his man-boobs. He bites her toes and they poke-and-giggle between scenes of Season 3. While she is away in Africa? The night before the denial, Caitriona would have supposedly been dating the “love she found,” yet Sam is territorially over her, man-spread and both are flirty and giggly and Caitriona says he has a “BIG Heart." Boundaries, Sam. Where is your character?
6) Throw ALL of this together and I sound like a broken record. They still go shopping together in Africa and her partner doesn’t mind? They go to a rugby game and Sam’s arm is around her and they do pretty explicit scenes and the love her life trusts them both implicitly? So, either her now-fiancé is trusting beyond belief and they are making a fool of him or its an open relationship or………If I take Sam’s character into play, I am going with the last "or…”
7) So, Caitriona does a marathon the same month as Sam, they sponsor Audi, run charity events together and support one another’s causes, horse-back ride, karaoke, go whisky and sushi-testing together in LA and NY, watch shows together, celebrate her GG nod together, read lines together, go out for guacamole together, hike and play tennis. Sam is living in her former apartment, is cooking pancakes on Valentines Day in her former apartment, lays in bed in her former bedroom with HER cat and WE are delusional or can’t separate Jamie and Claire???? Either Sam and/or Caitriona have no boundaries, are fooling themselves or……………Guess which “or” I am going with again…..
See, it all comes down to character. As I have said before, Sam has done things I do not agree with. We have different morals and his judgment is lacking here and there (as is mine sometimes) but his being? His character? I think it is a good one! So, that leads me to very few choices culminating from the above: a) He has poor character b) He is having a relationship with someone who is engaged to someone else and just takes what he can get and they are both fooling themselves c) Sam and Caitriona ARE together or d) —-
I am leaving d ) blank. I am not comfortable with putting it publicly but it IS a possibility if Caitriona is with someone else. In fact and in my mind, it is the only OTHER possibility that would somehow explain this mess.
I think the one thing Caitriona has said which has NOT changed, is consistent with everything and is also a broken record at this point, “we went on a long walk in Hyde Park and said we would have each other’s backs”.
They are in this together. Its 50/50 because that is a partnership.

FOUR YEARS - YEAR TWO | “April 17th, 2015″
The First Year | January 5th, 2015 | February 9th, 2015 | March 24th, 2015
April 17th, 2015
Three days ago, Jamie told me to pack an over night bag because we were going to Oxford. I’d been taking a bath when he told me this and nearly dropped my copy of Jane Eyre in the tub.
“What do you mean, were going to Oxford for a couple of days?” I carefully placed my book on the chair.
Jamie took a deep breath and looked down at me, “Ye ken what tomorrow is, the 16th of April…”
Keep reading
So much love in this chapter ❤️
