In Christmas Eve Margaret is lost in sad thoughts about her only love, whom she has not heard for almost more than a year, but then something unexpected happens. Will Margaret's Christmas miracle come true?

A North & South crossover with A Christmas Carol. After being rejected by Margaret and now drawing closer to the failure of his business, John's heart has grown cold and he has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. Credit to Elizabeth Gaskell, Sandy Welch, and Charles Dickens (their words in italics).

As a result of her actions during the riot, Margaret Hale and John Thornton must marry...but what if they both decided to be honest and open and just tried to actually get along...all while properly shagging like normal people? This story is my answer to that question.

Margaret Hale, oppressed by all the work she must do to care for her family hopes of one day finding her 'prince.' This combines text (in italics) from Sandy Welch's amazing BBC script and Elizabeth Gaskell's wonderful book (neither of which do I own).

As the winter nights draw in, Margaret Hale feels increasingly confused about her feelings for John Thornton, the man whom she refused, coming to realise she sorely misses his friendship. Then, as Christmas approaches, Margaret decides to do what she can to show the mill master just how much she cares about him.

After an explosive argument where Margaret confronts Mr Thornton directly about the Outwood misunderstanding, Mr Thornton and Margaret begin a gentle courtship, slowly getting to know one another. Will they fall in love? ;-) A romantic, slow-burn HEA story, with a moment or two of minor angst. Characters are not mine, reverently borrowed from E Gaskell and S Welch

As Thornton battles bitterly with Margaret's rejection, and she in turn struggles to come to terms with her true feelings for the northern mill owner, an ailing Mrs Hale decides to intervene. Will her final gift to her daughter be enough to save this classic couple?

On Halloween, Hannah Thornton has a strange and spectral visit from someone she hasn't seen in years.

As the title suggests, this is a reimagining of our favourite Gaskell tale but with the addition of Vampires. John battles with his vampiric instincts and the hold that the Masters of the mills have over Milton. To make matters worse, he must struggle not to let his heart be taken by the newly arrived Miss Hale. Things are not always what they seem in Milton.

So what if Margaret HAD looked back? a gentle love story with the happy ending our lovely couple deserve, skipping all the sadness and apartness they endured after Mr Hale's death

A slow-burn HEA story, starting in canon at the Great Exhibition – Margaret runs after Mr Thornton to apologise/explain for Henry's rudeness – which sets their story going in a different direction.

Modern AU. Margaret Hale finds herself in need of a fake boyfriend for her cousin's destination wedding and it seems that only one man is up to the task. The only problem is she hates John Thornton and he hates her. What could possibly go wrong? (A fake dating trope for N&S because why not? This story world needed one.)

At the Great Exhibition, Margaret Hale encounters a fortune teller, who has some interesting things to say about her life and future.

After the riot, Margaret Hale wakes up with a strange visitor, who gives her a glimpse into her future with John Thornton. A 'What IF' time travel variation.

This one-shot retells the "night at the train station/police investigation"-plotline from North & South and imagines what the gossip surrounding it could have lead to. Get ready for a spooky atmosphere, vicious whispers and – of course – Fanny being dramatic

What if there was a fortune teller from future which could help to Margaret understand her feelins for John. Set right after the scene at the Great Exhibition in the BBC adaptation. Enjoy! ;)

At the Great Exhibition, Margaret Hale consults a Time Traveller to find out the name of her future husband... a North and South comedy/romance with a happy ever after (of course!)

What happens when a modern day descendant of the Thorntons takes a quantum leap back in time. Will she be able to save our dear couple from months and months of agony? This combines text (in italics) from Sandy Welch's amazing BBC script and Elizabeth Gaskell's wonderful book (neither of which do I own).

John Thornton gets a glimpse of something he shouldn't, which stirs his unwanted love for Margaret Hale more strongly than ever. But in a secret garden, everything blooms...

Soulmate AU one shots starring modern John Thornton and Margaret Hale. This is my attempt to write through a list of soulmate tropes for a bit of fluff and fun. If you've got an idea for this series, please let me know.

Modern AU. (OG) Margaret Hale is a British expat who moves to Milton, Connecticut to live with her father when her mother's health deteriorates. Born and raised in South Carolina, John Thornton is the owner of a trucking company, Marlborough Shipping Depot. Whenever the two meet, sparks fly.

Just a little silly crossover of North & South with Gone With The Wind. This combines text (in italics) from Sidney Howard's script based on Margaret Mitchell's book 'Gone With The Wind'. Characters based on Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South.

Margaret and John celebrate a two month wedding anniversary and Margaret has planned very special evening for both. And Margaret has a very special gift for her beloved husband!

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 Archive of Our Own) Contains some instances of strong language. Complete

A missing scene from "From the Ashes - Break of Dawn", I just could not resist writing. What if aunt Shaw had indeed heard John and Margaret, that night, during her visit to Milton? This is basically just smut (sort of). ;)
