Outlander Fandom Why?!?!?
Why are there very few fics for outlander? Especially poor Ian. I feel like he is so underrated. He needs at least something. I guess this is my official request. Please anyone write something for Ian. Please?

Wednesday 100: Dialogues
Ian doesn't mind traveling without (human) companionship — there is even peace in moving softly through forests with only his thoughts — and yet this time he finds himself breaking the quiet, speaking aloud to his mother.
“For all that ye've said I have too much Fraser in me,” he tells her, “it seems I've Murray enough to keep convincin’ pigheaded Frasers to value their lives over their limbs.”
He smiles imagining her responding hmph, and tries to keep from conjuring a conversation next with Uncle Jamie, one about the precise feeling he might have had the moment he saw Auntie Claire.

Young Ian: Sorry I got us into this, Uncle Jamie. I was useless out there. I didn't even get one punch in.
Jamie: That's not true, lad. You hit me at one point.

So, I'm doing my traditional pre-new Outlander season rewatch, where I watch from Season One to the Season before the new one is going to air.
Just finished Episode Seven of Season Three and something has deeply bothered me. -- When Claire gives Jamie issue for not telling Elder Ian that Young Ian is with him in Edinburgh. That he didn't understand what it was like to be a worried parent.
Now, I understand Claire's point, he should have told Ian. But, in truth, I find a bit cruel of her to say.
Jamie does understand what it's like to be a worried parent. Perhaps not like she does, getting to raise Brianna. But Jamie was a parent worried about a daughter, and a son in William, that can't have a hand in helping or watching his children's lives be shaped. He was a worried parent not knowing what happened to his and Claire's child once she vanished through the stones.
Did she and the baby make it through the stones safely?
Did she get back to her own time, and not some other random time?
Did Frank take her back and was he good to a barn that was conceived with his wife's, other husband 200yrs before?
Did Claire have the baby, or did she miscarry again, like she had with Faith?
It annoys me further, his own sister, Jenny, rubs something of the same in Jamie's face in the next episode, after he suggests a different punishment for Young Ian running off. Asking if Jamie is "an expert on raising barns now?"
I'd say, out of all of them, James Alexander Malcom MacKenzie Fraser, has the most experience and is the expert at being a worried parent for his children.

Wednesday 100: Fathering
He almost gets lost on the way back, mind so full that only Rollo's bark saves him.
The sight of his smiling son, the gift of offering him a name, the opportunity to remember the joys in his marriage and to see the result — these are the things which can fill him when he regrets the time he missed and will continue to miss, and the ways that he cannot claim that beloved boy as his own.
He wonders what filled Uncle Jamie after Helwater, before Auntie Claire returned, with only Fergus and Ian's younger, runaway self at his side.
