Summary
John Thornton's hands shook so hard he could barely make out the printed letters on the page. He must be misreading the names, he thought to himself. "ARREST OF HALE THE MUTINEER AND PIRATE. Mr. Frederick Hale, formerly of Helstone, awaits a naval court martial on charges of mutiny, piracy, and treason." John determined to call upon the Hales to make sure there was no connection between this Frederick Hale and his friends at Crampton Court.

Summary
Just another North & South continuation. As much as I love the train station scene, I always found the book's ending to be more believable for the time period. This work merges elements from both the mini-series and the book.

Summary
As a result of her actions during the riot, Margaret Hale and John Thornton must marry. Margaret is determined to make the most of the unexpected turn in her life.
Yes, alright, it's one of THOSE fics, loves. (As if North and South didn't have enough of them, I’ve gone and written another one.) Here we have the forced marriage trope but without all the misunderstandings and angst and torture over married "activities". Like my friend DaisyNinjaGirl (Whose similarly inspired story is wonderful. Please read it.) I wanted to answer the question 'What if John and Margaret both decided to be honest and open and just try, for the love of all that's holy, to actually get along...all while properly shagging like normal people?' And here we are.
This is for anyone who's ever come home from a bloody long day and just wanted a smutty, happy, North and South story.
PS. This is already complete. (Yes...I wrote all 20 chapters...aren’t I clever?) So Happy Christmas, loves. I hope you enjoy it!
