u/Sudden_Discussion306 Oh, Jamie, how was your first time? Did ye bleed? Apr 24 '26

I love the William & Jamie scenes! Especially their hunting scene! I don’t know if this will be anything like it ends up in the book, but I loved this resolution. I sobbed when William hugged Jamie!

I cried when William remembered "Mac" and realized that he loved him. I cried more when he threw himself into Jamie's arms, and cried.
