The 'Outlander' Stars Read Your Fan Fiction
Outlander just reunited Claire and Jamie Fraser onscreen after 20 years apart, but fans of the show (and the books on which it's based) have been imagining - and reimagining - this moment for more than two decades. Fan fiction writers have been especially adept at crafting their own versions of this pivotal moment, and in preparation for this week's episode, which dives deeper (74-minutes, to be exact) into Claire's return to Jamie, we challenged Outlander stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan to interpret the scene for themselves with a dramatic reading from bonnie-wee-swordsman's fan fiction, "A Hundred Lesser Faces," which you can read in full here. The story poses the question, "What if in Voyager, Claire had gone first to Lallybroch instead of directly to the print shop in Edinburgh?" Major drama, apparently. For the video, Heughan takes the reins on narration, while Balfe proves her serious sound effect skills. It's okay if you keep this one on repeat all day.

The five episodes leading up to Claire and Jamie's reunion explore the couple's 20 years spent two centuries apart - Claire readjusting to life in the 20th century with her first husband, the birth of her daughter, and her entry into medical school. In the 18th century, Jamie deals with a tumultuous two decades as an outlaw and prisoner and later, a groom at Downton Abbey-esque English estate. It goes without saying the Frasers have a lot to catch up on. In the meantime, you can catch up on all of HarpersBAZAAR.com's Outlander coverage here.
