    Summary

    A retelling of North & South where Margaret Hale is the older one (near her 30s) and John Thornton the younger one (in his early 20s).
    How about a more mature, calm, level-headed Margaret meeting a young, more idealistic and eager John?
    You'd be surprised how well this works! Give it a go, you won't regret it :)

    She's a spinster, caring for her ageing parents, uprooted from her lovely Helstone.
    He's a freshly appointed mill master who just came out of poverty and tries to thrive.
    They both have to find their place in Milton and quickly become friends but soon have to sort out their feelings.
    Set in the 1850s, like the novel.

    Complete. (There might be variations in the future, or little one shots from the same AU...)

    Summary

    'Love and Marriage, they go together like a horse and carriage', goes the song.

    But how do desire, attraction and affection evolve in a happy marriage? Here is a fic following John and Margaret's love through the years, to explore these universal themes.

    About the title: "The Air Is Full Of Spices" is a quote from 1995's movie Sense and Sensibility, when Colonel Brandon answers young Margaret Dashwood's question about India. Close your eyes and hear dear Alan Rickman's velvety voice speak his reply... you'll get a good notion of my inspiration for this story 😍
