Story: A King is a King
Author: Sheila Adamson
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 2565
Author's summary: The Jacobites: Wrong but Wromantic? An old-fashioned historical.
Characters/Pairings: Jamie, Victoria, Second Doctor
Warnings: None. You can't have spoilers for history!

Recced because: Not only is this an excellent example of a straight-up historical fic, but it's also a wonderful character study of Jamie. The Doctor, Victoria, and Jamie land in the town of Dumfries twenty years or so after the Jacobite rebellion and Jamie finds out that he's not the only one still bearing a grudge from those days. It comes complete with lovely little historical details too. Go read it.

You're absolutely right - this is a fantastic piece of work, and it explores Jamie with respect. He becomes a person in this, instead of just a confused foil for the Doctor, or amusement for one of his female companions.

Fantastic!

“Nobody would come to Dumfries who needed anything. It’s the most miserable, niggardly, poor excuse for a town in Scotland. With the most miserable, cowardly, traitorous parcel of knaves living in it. Is that clear enough for ye?”

I am definitely linking my flatmate (who is from Dumfries) to this story!
