After their chance reunion at the train station, John and Margaret return to Milton. Margaret uses her new wealth to search for a purpose, John struggles to come to terms with his past failings - and they must learn to live with each other. (M version is up on A03)

After mere weeks of engagement, John and Margaret now face their wedding night. After all that has transpired between them, how will they navigate this great unknown? Frank discussions and Victorian propriety explored. Also just smut drabbles and baby making because these two sorely need to bang it out. COMPLETE

Inspired by the BBC mini-series North and South (2004). This is a glimpse into the life of a younger John Thornton and examines the time of his life that changes him forever. In this story I focus on John who transitions from a child to the head of the Thornton family as a result of his fathers suicide. Please read and review.

This is a telling of North and South through John Thorton's perspective. Maybe not very original, but I always felt that he was such a complex character that he deserved a little more understanding of his inner workings from the reader. "T" just in case.
