    Summary

    John Thornton hasn't seen Margaret Hale in sixteen years. His whole world flips upside down when an unexpected visitor turns up at Marlborough Shipping Depot, forcing John to relive the best—and worst—time of his life.

    This story is for my dear friend, Mimosa from The Mill at Milton . Mim is always encouraging us writers. She also edits. Overall, she's pretty cool. I'm moving this story from ff.net to here, because she asked me to.

    Summary

    A reimagining of the last chapters of North and South – when Margaret Hale takes things into her own hands. Could this include giving John Thornton an explanation about what he saw near Outwood Station? How will this impact their relationship? What if we could peep a little further into the resolution of their romance?
    Thanks to the North and South read-along with the Weavers and Spinner – which got me to read the text with obsessively close attention!
    Quotations from Gaskell’s text are in italics – apologies if I missed any.

    Summary

    "His eyes were a striking shade of blue. She saw it only for a second before she self-consciously lowered her own, but she could not help but look back up at him again a moment later."

    A variation of my story "Fairies by the River".
    What if Margaret had not gone to Milton after her father's death? What if she had gone to live with Mr Bell's acquaintance in London as he had initially proposed?
    What if...Margaret and John had met under slightly different circumstances?

    Summary

    John Thornton crosses to Havre in April 1854 to investigate why the price of raw cotton is so high. He has an unexpected meeting and helps a young woman out of a predicament. Returning to Milton, he learns that his tutor, and friend, Richard Hale, has died and Margaret Hale will leave Milton. His good deed comes back to haunt his reputation. Will Miss Hale hear of it, and what will she think? Meanwhile, Margaret Hale wrestles with the shame of the lie she told to protect her brother. When she becomes Mr Bell’s heiress, she has an opportunity to choose her future path. A variety of unexpected encounters and the consequences of social stigma, shame and regret on the choices of John Thornton, Margaret Hale and Emily, Mr Peggotty’s niece, are explored in this non-canon story of North & South with borrowings from David Copperfield (Charles Dickens) with reflections on Mansfield Park (Jane Austen).

    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

    Ever since John stumbled out of the Hales' house and onto an omnibus, having been rejected by Margaret (in the book, not the TV series), he has continued this weekly excursion. Unbeknown to him, Miss Hale also goes on an omnibus journey each week. Then one week, Miss Hale and Mr Thornton find themselves on the same omnibus. What a coincidence ...

    Summary

    She had a bracelet on one taper arm, which would fall down over her round wrist. Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see her push it up impatiently until it tightened her soft flesh; and then to mark the loosening—the fall.
