All Those Miles We Walked

by TRavine

Colton, England, 1920. In an attempt to heal from a traumatic experience, young war widow Margaret Lennox enters into a secret passionate affair with her family's gamekeeper John Thornton, a former soldier who is fighting demons of his own. As lust turns into something deeper, they must overcome more than mere social divides and learn to make peace with the past.

Hello, dear readers.

This story is about 100k words long and has 28 chapters (plus an introduction chapter) which are being posted three times a week on "Archive Of Our Own" at the moment.

The completed story will be posted here after it is fully uploaded there in a few months. (The story itself is already complete, so there are practically no waiting times between updates).

Now I know this may be very unpopular, but I am boycotting the process of ongoing posting on , simply because it is the biggest pain for writers.

Navigating this page is insanely annoying and takes much more time than it should (thanks to no update of the writer's navigation page since 1990, or so it feels) and what I especially dislike is the lack of opportunity for writers to properly engage with their readers.

I can only reply to comments of registered users in a private message, I cannot reply to guest comments at all.

Therefore I much prefer AO3, simply because it is more user-friendly when doing regular, ongoing posts.

If you want to follow this story as it is being updated, hop over /works/52347976/chapters/132423892

If you are the patient type, the whole thing will be posted here as a complete story sometime between the end of March and mid-April 2024.

Thanks a lot for your understanding.

Tom
