There is a word that exposes the very soul of John Thorntons relationship with Margaret Hale. One word which defines their love, their life, and their desperate pursuit of one for the other. One word that ties together each shared moment, and embodies every aspect of a battle not so easily won: Suppression.

So the title is self-explanatory. The story is about our two favourite people falling in love.

She loved him as an adolescent, he admired her from afar; each thought their difference in station an insurmountable obstacle. Years later, Princess Emma and Lt. Killian Jones enter into a marriage of convenience, having long ago given up on obtaining the other's love. Can they overcome tragedy and re-discover each other again? Rated M for sex, mature themes, triggers.

Both Margaret's Mother and Father have passed away. Her Aunt is still in Italy and her Cousin in Greece. She is left all alone in Milton. How will Thornton rescue her, and will she inadvertantly rescue him in return?

Supergirl AU: Kara and Mike are roommates who have no idea the other are their superhero teammate…. (Characters are not mine. I own nothing.)

If Margaret had time to pick up those abandoned gloves, muse over what she said, and receive a few words of advice from Mr. Bell.

When Queen Rhea returns with her heart set on vengeance, Mon-El will finally find out what it takes to make Kara admit her feelings, and he won't like it. OR: the one where Kara gets tortured and Mon-El is heartbroken. TW: Torture, PTSD. Also other appearances from Arrowverse characters, because I was having so much fun writing this. :)

rival assassins AU: they live in a world rife with death and destruction (of which they are often the cause) - is it even possible to feel anything other than the thrill of the kill?

Picks up in the train not an hour after that fateful kiss. John and Margaret think they may finally be happy, but their luck just isn't that good and circumstances threaten to tear them apart again.

Emma Swan will never be the princess - or queen - Misthaven really needs. Neither will a man ever own her heart again. Guarded and proud, can a forward young Lieutenant sneak beneath her emotional walls? And more importantly, will he even want to? Lieutenant Duckling AU with a sprinkling of Pride and Prejudice.

What if John never found out the truth about Margaret's brother? What if Margaret never had a business proposition? This story is set approximately 18 years after Margaret bid the Thornton family farewell and left for London. Rated M for chapter 11 onwards. Sequel up now 'Is Patience A Virtue'

Killian Jones has returned home to Storybrooke, for the first time since he left for college. He claims he's simply in town for his best friend's upcoming wedding. But really, could it have to do with the maid of honour - one Emma Swan? The girl he's crushed out on since high school. And the one girl that's always despised him to no end. AU (no magic/fairytales)

Captain Swan AU: Princess Emma and Prince Killian are supposed to marry to unite the kingdoms, but neither are very keen on a marriage. They've never seen each other before and while Emma has to struggle with his attitude toward her, he has a dark secret he's keeping. (Rated M for later chapters)

Margaret finds Mr. Thornton after their confrontation at the exhibition allowing them to develop a tentative post-proposal friendship. Will their relationship be strong enough to overcome the heartache and deceit that is to come? Both book and mini-series based.

No Curse. Killian finally succeeds in killing Rumplestiltskin and becomes the new Dark One. Horrified with his new fate, Killian retreats to the edge of the Dark Kingdom. Twenty-five years later, Killian, in all his Dark One glory, goes to Snow White and David's kingdom, demanding their daughter's hand in marriage. Will Emma's light be able to pierce Killian's dark heart?

Even the resurrection of Marlborough Mills doesn't mean things returns to normal; Margaret and John work to adjust to a new sort of life. A life that will soon be defined by their upcoming marriage. Family is a much greater challenge when it's one made between two proud people. But an altogether worthy one. The middle ground is where futures are built.

AU. He was at the end of his rope, quite literally so, when they found him. A 72 hour suicide-watch and a strong advice of counseling were given. It's how they met actually. "So you're the one who'll save me?" She grimaced, "I'm no savior Mr. Jones. I'm just not afraid of the dark."

He needed her to pose as his girlfriend, and she needed him to make her unfaithful ex jealous. But what began as a simple transaction between two business partners soon becomes more complicated than either of them could have ever anticipated. AU, Bellarke.

Clarke is injured when there is an intruder in the camp. Bellamy helps her and they realize that in order to survive and keep everyone else safe they have to work together. This is the story of their uneasy alliance.

Follow our dear captain as he discovers who he is and where his destiny lies. CaptainSwan Starts after Hook's lips are cursed and continues until after Hook Emma visit the past.

There's a side of Emma Swan that only Killian Jones is privy to. Warning: disgisting amounts of fluff as per usual.

Emma is still not adjusting too well to life in the Enchanted Forest. Killian adopts a new strategy and decides instead of trying to bring back what she misses to show her what she has now. In the same universe as 'I Miss Chinese'.

Packing up everything she owns after dropping out of medical school, Clarke finds herself broken down in the middle-of-nowhere Ark, Georgia. With every intention of getting it fixed and on the road the next morning, she takes a risk at a little stress-relief: only to find it might not be that easy to just pack up and go the next morning. Title inspiration: Lady Antebellum song.

"It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by" - Herman Hupfeld. This is a continuation of the novel with light 2004 movie influences. I do not own the lyrics to As Time Goes By or the world and characters of Elizabeth Gaskell.

...Or the one in which Clarke thinks she's kept the fact that she's pregnant (and that Bellamy is the father) a secret, but she really hasn't.

Octavia finds a book with characters they remind her of Bellamy and Clarke.

It was no secret that Bellamy and Clarke despised each other, so what happens when a simply pairing for an assignment becomes much more and unexpected feelings surface? How will the two work together when they have no choice but to be leaders. More summary inside. Bellarke.

Captain Swan AU. Emma Swan is the co-owner and manager of a popular bar in New York where her star bartender is the cocky Killian Jones. In their public lives, they hate each other. Little do they know that in their personal, online lives, the person that they've been chatting with for weeks (the one they've so desperately somehow fallen for) just so happen to be each other.

Captain Swan AU: For day four of captain swan AU week: cursed!Killian. Killian was sent along the curse with everyone else, and Emma Swan, the new sheriff, is the only thing that feels right. Just a one chapter thing.

Sebastian fights for Mary, but she is weary of her current situation. She is bound to Francis, but loves another. Francis on the other hand has conditionally given Mary her freedom. To gain Mary's full affection, Sebastian battles to be legitimized by Royal Decree. Their relationship endeavours in secret.

A oneshot in which bellarke gets a very-much deserved happy ending. (Some jactavia- mentioned)

This little story was inspired by Keith Urban's song Cop Car (hence the title). It's an AU Modern story in which Mary, her ladies and Francis are in high school and Sebastian is in college. Also Mary's parents are both alive. I borrowed heavily from some of Torrance's interviews to create a modern Bash. I own neither the song nor Reign. I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review.

A collection of fluffy Captain Swan oneshots from prompts sent to me on Tumblr.

While he is visiting the Hales, Mr. Thornton and Margaret have an unexpected conversation. Will this change their relationship as events in Milton unfold?

It took a lie to make Margaret Hale realize the truth. It took admitting the truth to expose her weakness, and overcoming her weakness to find the strength to heal. Movie inspired thanks to a rainy day off but with strong notes of the book added. CHAPTER 2 SPELLING ERRORS FIXED! Apologies for uploading the unedited doc.

One-Shot. What if Margaret had confided the truth of Frederick to Mr. Thornton on the fateful afternoon of her meeting with Inspector George Watson? A sin forgiven gives her a friend through sorrow. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the characters or the world created for this story by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell.

"Now you are free, to choose the man you love." The consequences of choice. Mary's life with Francis, and Mary's life with Bash.

"I'm okay," she murmurs, traces her thumb along the lines of Bash's palm. "We're okay". -— mary/sebastian; post 1x11.

They tell you anger is red, but they don't tell you fear is white. Set immediately following the end of 1x11.

Slight AU/Oneshot- Sebastian was named the future heir of France and he is shying away from his duties. On one of his early morning rides he encounters an intriguing woman named Mary, who may change the way he looks at his new title.

He would have died for her the day he met her. Would have killed for her a hundred times over, had actually killed for her and would do it again. But now...Now, he wished he could open up his body to wrap around her, pull her inside his skin to protect her from all harm. Her near-death has made her more precious, more his than ever before. Mash. One-Shot.

Set after 1x08. Mary made a decision to leave behind France, the alliance, and, of course, Francis, the man she loves. Bash made a decision to accompany Mary, knowing his relationship with his brother could be ruined. Together, amongst the dangers of the forest and their own feelings for one another, Mary and Bash will make a decision: Run or return home? Mash. Rated T just in case

Mary "gives thanks to what's most vital" to her, not fully realizing the permanence of her actions. Sebastian makes it his duty to ensure her self-inflicted wound heals with no repercussions. Takes place 2-3 weeks after season 1 episode 10, and written before the release of episode 11.

Bash has a late night visitor. Is he dreaming? Mary/Bash. Both POVs. What I wish had happened after episode 6: Chosen. Mash really needed to talk about their kiss, the pagan attack & Francis being such a jerk (my words, not theirs ;) Hopefully my fic is better than my summary!) Might reference/spoil up to episode 8: Fated, but makes those events unlikely. Romance/Drama/Humor/Angst

Francis kept playing the kiss over in his mind, it was bothering him enough for him to decide to confront Bash. The two brothers both get to have their say. One Shot Tag Episode 1x05 A chill in the air

"she looked like a ghostly bride. There was Mary, in a white sleep gown, padding barefoot down the corridor. His breath caught in his throat as he watched her, like some ethereal vision from one of his dreams. She seemed in a daze, her head down, her hair falling to hide her face like a mourning veil, looking at her hands" A late night meeting between Bash and Mary. One-Shot

Christmastime in the French court brings news and the present of freedom from the threats of England to Mary as well as Francis's desire to set a wedding date. So why is she still not happy? A Mash (Mary/Bash) fic.

Mary/Sebastian one parter. Sebastian watched as Tomas knocked on Mary's door. Had had every right to, even at such a late hour. Still, Sebastian decided to linger in the shadows. Because when Mary is in trouble, he is always there to come to her rescue. After all, Tomas' intentions aren't as genuine as Her Grace might think.

Margaret Hale and John Thornton find their "relationship" the talk of Milton and have no choice but to marry.

After Mr. Hale's death, Mr. Bell plans the funeral in Oxford. Margaret cannot bear not saying goodbye to her father, and must ask Mr. Thornton if he will allow her to accompany him to the funeral. Book Based for the most part.
