Summary
People of the internet, rejoice! The cross-over that nobody asked for is here!
Margaret Hale’s and John Thornton’s virtual avatars meet in World of Worldcraft, as both are veteran role-players. He is Alliance through and through, she has ties to the Horde and these two factions have been at war since the beginning of time. They clash, survive the equivalent of the strike and eventually learn to respect and value each other. All is well in the world of Azeroth, but what about the real world?
Enemies-to-lovers and a happy ending twice over.
No previous knowledge of Warcraft or North and South required. -

Summary
Could I make some angsty quotes from Wuthering Heights, that tale of a love so all-consuming, twisted and doomed that it broke several generations, both physically and mentally, fit into a John and Margaret happy-ever-after story? I don’t know, but I felt compelled to try.
