I haven’t even started reading yet and I already know I want more

‘quit imagining the weight of the shop owner on top of you, Beauchamp.”

WHAT A MOOD THO

KATY NOOO I need the next chapter now please

HE FELL OFF THE DUCKING LADDER

HELLO CHAPTER TWO

I feel like he probably fell off that ladder because he was looking at Claire

Of course he’s sitting on the floor with a dislocated shoulder telling jokes

ahhh I’m sooo curious to know why she quit being a doctor

WHY DOES HE HAVE A WEDDING BAND IN HIS DESK

“For the second time, she went to her knees in front of him, ignoring his attempt to get some banter. “

OK @missclairebelle you can’t write things like that because MY MIND AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO THE GUTTER

“Aye, weel, I’m a verra modest man.”

She snorted at that, trying to keep her mouth from turning up as she said, “I’ll bet you are.”

Hopefully not too modest though

Once again I’ll just be here twiddling my thumbs as I wait for chapter 3

HELLO chapter three

Claire’s taking off her clothes in the middle of her b&b becaue it’s hot....but I’m really hoping a certain tall, red headed, slightly injured Scot shows up

Adso

“Don’t go hauling that big Viking body up any ladders.”

“Viking body?” She rolled her eyes, and he relented in their teasing.

I think Claire has already thought of a few alternatives he could do with that Viking body

I went to hit the “next chapter” button but it wasn’t there I keep forgetting this ones new

August 3rd is how many days away!!?!

Oh hello chapter 4 I’ve finally found time to read you

HAHAHA he LITERALLY fell for her

“He had fallen from that ladder (and thus dislocated his shoulder) because he was shifting his weight just so to garner a better view of her arse as she rounded the corner into the paint aisle.”

“No. Something tells me that you have a fair few subjects under your mastery, Jamie Fraser.”

No pause, not even a beat, and then: “Do ye mean to call me master?”

IM SHOOK

“Are ye proposin’ something, lass?”

“Could be–”

And then he was kissing her.

SO APPARENTLY I WAS TWO CHAPTERS BEHIND IN THIS ONE I may have squealed when I got to the end of four and saw there was another chapter available

His hand was a fire pit, and her fingers were positively smoldering in his palm. He had her off-kilter. And she liked it.

This is... I just... IM SO SHOOK AT HOW FORWARD THESE TWO ARE

” His fingers splayed out on her lower belly, rumpled the fabric of her shirt. “I’d probably have tasted ye as ye woke, made ye cry out until ye were fit to fall back asleep.”

Annnnd interrupted

Oh. Okay

“Just a preview, Claire,” he mumbled. Those five little syllables blended with the cacophony in her ears, and her legs fell open to him for the first time. His palm was flat against her belly, and his voice somehow rising above the tumult in her mind, he asked, “Can I touch ye?”

Ian why couldn’t you go find something to do for 5 minutes

“But for one summer, she reminded herself.

One summer and nothing more.”

Yeah....we’ll see about that Claire

“Freshen up a touch, love”

Claire realized she was well and truly beyond the point of no return.

Her summer fling was going to start that night.

CHAPTER SEVEN LETS GO

“The message: You know I can see you parked out front, right? You may have not noticed this, but the front window is just a big pane of glass.”

just as she was daydreaming about getting it on the front counter

ALEC NEEDS TO LEAVE ALREADY

“Let me explain once and for all this concept of a window, Claire.”

Me outside the hardware store watching all this go down

“I’ve been dreamin’ of this, of getting my first look at ye. Of seein’ ye close, once ye were mine–”

“–for the summer,” she interrupted, supplying him with needless, careless clarification of what may have already been a moot point.


One Summer equivalent of “Telly wife”

“I’ve got the deepest appreciation for yer perfect arse, mo nighean donn, but I’ll no’ take ye like this… bent over.”

.
.
.
“At least no’ the first time.”

Ok Claire

“F*ck me, Jamie. F*ck me now.”

“Post coital dram”

That recap of their first time though

“Ye’re wearin’ knickers… barely.”

“I thought you’d like them.”

He kissed the corner of her mouth. “Ye wanted me to see them?”

“I wanted you to take them off of me.”

“Salad, bread, cake. What more could a lad ask for?”

With a quirked eyebrow, opened one eye, and gave him a death as serious as any funeral she had ever attended, and decided to challenge him. “A thirty-six pack of–”

“– aye , the condoms–”

“– you’re welcome –”

JAMIE JUST CALLED ADSOS PAWS “PAW-HANDS”

What’s the tattoo mean

“They ate slowly, savoring each other as much as the meal before them,”

WELL HELLO A. MALCOLM

“Why don’t we try to get caught out in the rain?”

ANOTHER CAUGHT IN THE RAIN SCENARIO?!? GOD BLESS

“She did little to hang on as he carried her into the house and let her slip down to her feet with her back against the wall.”

YALL ITS THE NOTEBOOK....deleted scene version

I’m gonna need a second before I keep going

“She clinically charted the riotous, aroused rate of his hammering heart, and wondered how much this man had to work out to be, simply put, fit as fuck .”

Oh fit as fuck FOR SUUREEE

I can’t tell if I’m just extra turned on or if Katy kicked it up a notch this chapter either way im not complaining

“Just as she drifted off to sleep, she was struck by the fact that this thing was way too deep.”

TAKE IT ALL THE WAY CLAIRE!! You know he’s more than a summer fling

HE DIDNT LEAVE!!! AND HES COOKING HER BREAKFAST

“Right. No activities. We’ll have to make progress on that thirty-six pack–”

“It isna a thirty-six pack after last night–”

“–I know.”

every time they mention the 36 pack I die

GUESS HE’LL HAVE TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH HER it’s the only solution

I can’t wait for them to realize they’re falling in love

I’m still not over the image of sleepy Jamie laying there drooling

“Ye keepin’ up? I intend to make ye a map that ye’ll never forget.”

I will NEVER be able to look at a map of Scotland the same way. And im not upset about that

As of this morning there I was TWO chapters behind on One Summer... but I read chapter 12 on the plane and was SHOOK

Me on the plane when I read the end of that chapter

y’all don’t know how loud I gasped on that plane

It’s 1:30am and I have a 5 hour drive tomorrow

BUT IM READING CHAPTER 13 ANYWAY

Jamie getting all anxious and flustered with Claires text

HIS MOMMA IS ALIVE

I can’t remember if I knew this already or not? ITS LATE And I’m only functioning enough to read this fic

“He saw the transformation of the woman he was falling in love with from wind-blown fucking-bed-and-breakfast-owner to fucking-physician, and it made him glow.”

THE WOMAN HE WAS FALLING IN LOVE WITH

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW CLAIRE DREAMED UP THEIR WHOLE FUTURE IN THAT LAST CHAPTER

IM DYINGGGG

“....he would have made a declaration that he was falling-in-fucking-love-with-her-thank-you-very-much.”

SHOOK

And when she spoke again, he felt his throat closing. “I’m falling for you, so take me upstairs. Make love to me in your bedroom.”

So Katy, ANYTIME you’re ready to drop the next chapter is totally fine with me how tomorrow work for you

The last time I was reading One Summer was on the NY trip but I’m so ready for this new chapter!

As she came in long, pulsating, shaking gasps, he groaned, “Stay here. Stay with me.”

HES NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CLIMAX

Eventually, she was convinced that he was well and truly asleep. And after testing her hypothesis with a gentle thumb on his lower lip, she breathed, “Ask me to stay. Ask me to try. I will.”

STAY WITH HIM CLAIRE!!!

“We can have a quiet life for now,” she whispered softly. “Together… for the summer.”

“I had the summer with Ian. It wasna enough.”

“It never is,” she whispered softly, her head falling to his shoulder.

THEN MAKE IT A WHOLE BLOODY LIFE TIME

I might have forgotten there was a new chapter for this today... here I’ve been looking for something to read for the last half hour!

It’s almost August SUMMER IS NEARLY FINISHED

“Yer man’s fuckin’ that glow into ye, isn’t ye, the cheeky wee bastard?”

I love Geillis she always says exactly what I feel like most of us are thinking

“I’m going to fuck ye and then scrub ye clean.”

I’m sorry but I lose it when they just tell eachother what their are gonna do LIKE GOOD LORD

THE MEANING BEHIND HER V TATTOO

“Weel, cat… yer mam… who is my girlfriend… loves me. Ye goin’ to be nice to me now?”

IM NOT CRYING I SWEAR

THERES A NEW CHAPTER! but I need go re read a little first

“It wouldn’t be his Sassenach who was dutifully plucking the herbs from the garden for use in the meals served at the bed-and-breakfast. She would be gone.

It was one summer. Nothing more.”

CLAIRE. STOP. IT.

“It was that next afternoon when the letter came.

The ninth of September.”

LETTERS ARE NEVER A GOOD SIGN IN A FIC

HE TOLD HER HE LOVES HER AND NOW IM CRYING

NOW I WAS A CHAPTER BEHIND SO NOW IVE GOT TWO TO READ

“That she would leave. That he would not stop her.”

I’m sad

“You didn’t hurt me, and it is exactly what I wanted. You are exactly what I want, and…” She turned, her fingertips slowly relinquishing their hold on his duvet. “And I need to tell you something.”

HERE IT COMES

Summers over

Damn Adso....right in the bed

Okay but I really love these two

Soo much for not babysitting

“As she intertwined their fingers together, she looked down at their wrists.

Jamie had been right.

The ink aligned perfectly – petals and thistle – when their hands were joined.”

I love that when he saw hers he just got up and pulled her with him to so he could get one too

Y’all I’m so behind on this fic

Also my older tweet in this thread kill me
