in a time traveler au, is it more compelling if Eoin and Paddy ARE strangers, and modern Eoin ends up in WWII, OR happily married modern Eoin ends up in WWII staring at his husband's tragic-eyed doppleganger? Option one is "I know I tripped into a fairy circle, but I don't think that means I deserved to Outlander myself into world war fucking two." Eoin, 30 seconds after seeing Paddy: [weighing if True Love At First Sight balances out an active world war, minimal vaccines, and the general criminalization of any reciprocated feelings] Paddy: Times must be odd if one of the Fair Folk is making himself known Eoin: Paddy: Eoin: think I'm handsome enough to be one of the aos sí, do you? Paddy: Paddy: [flees] Eoin: [massive, face-splitting smile] (and then eventually they figure out Eoin's the great-grandnephew of Paddy's friend Ambrose, which does at least explain why Eoin looks so goddamn McGonigal-coded. Eoin: i AM a McGonigal Paddy: [was already doing the birth years math and dying inside, now adding 'related to my good friend' to the mix of mental 'mm don't like this'])

Option two tho. Eoin thumbing his wedding ring compulsively and doing some "is it infidelity if it's a version of my husband and he's desperately sad but still achingly attractive and I could help him?" calculations. Paddy walking around looking and feeling like he's been disemboweled. Every OG SASer aware that Paddy barely survived Eoin's loss in Africa, and bracing for the emotional carnage/(self-)destructive fallout of a Grieving Paddy Mayne in Europe.

Okay but this is genius! I cannot believe I haven't come across an Outlander/Goodnight Sweetheart AU in this fandom before and I need either version to exist.

Option one is more fun! Eoin can have WW2 adventures and spread his 21st century chaos around the place and then either choose to stay in the past or take Paddy back to the future with him.

Option two is devastating because Eoin would have to go back to his time! Can't leave that Paddy alone! But what about past!Paddy? Now HE'S alone. Oh no, my heart.
