In these fanfictions, a recurring theme is adaptation. Jamie has to adapt to new ways of living, new languages in a sense (modern slang), and new social hierarchies. Another is the theme of discovery. He discovers things about himself, about Claire that he might not have known in his own time. And then there's the theme of hope. Despite all the difficulties, there is always a sense of hope that he can build a new life in the future with Claire and find some sort of happiness.
Writers often portray Jamie's reaction to modern technology in a very human way. He may initially be afraid of things like elevators, thinking they are some sort of trap. But as he gets used to them, he starts to see the convenience. With computers, he could be initially baffled by the screen full of strange symbols and pictures. However, his inquisitive nature takes over, and he begins to learn about it, maybe with Claire or some new friends helping him. This journey of discovery of modern technology is often a big part of how he is written in these fanfictions.
Well, he could be extremely confused by all the new technology. Imagine Jamie seeing a smartphone for the first time. He might think it's some sort of magical device with pictures that move and voices coming out of it. He'd probably struggle to adapt to the modern fashion as well. His kilt would be quite out of place among jeans and t - shirts.
He copes by relying on his strong will. Jamie has been through a lot in his own time, so he uses that experience to face the challenges of the future. He starts by observing people around him carefully. He notices how they talk, walk and interact with each other.
One possible fanfiction could be about the challenges they face while expecting. For example, in a Highland setting, Claire might struggle with the lack of modern medical facilities. Jamie would be overly protective, and there could be a lot of sweet moments between them as they anticipate the arrival of their child.
A frequently seen theme is Jamie's journey of self - discovery as a vampire. He has to figure out who he is now and what his place is in the world. There's also the theme of protecting loved ones. In many fanfictions, Jamie uses his new vampiric abilities to safeguard Claire and his family from threats that his new nature may attract. And often, there's a sense of isolation as he may not be fully accepted by either humans or other vampires.
The themes usually include cultural differences. Jamie is from a very different cultural background compared to Bree. So, fanfictions often explore how they bridge that gap. Also, there's the theme of acceptance. They have to accept each other in the story, and this acceptance can be about their personalities, their pasts, or their future together. It's all about how they come to terms with each other in the fan - created stories.
The main characters are Brianna and Jamie. Brianna is a strong - willed character with a modern perspective. She often brings new ideas and a different way of thinking to the story.
Their relationship might develop gradually as they get to know each other. At first, there could be some hesitation and wariness, but as they spend more time together, they start to trust each other.
