    Summary

    Modern AU. Margaret Hale works with, and is irked by, John Thornton, though she can't quite place why - except that she thinks he stole her promotion from her. While finishing up a late night at work, he catches the same elevator as her, only for them to become trapped! With nowhere to hide, and annoying intrusions on Bessy's part, will they finally make nice?

    Summary

    A modernization of North and South in which Margaret Hale is a social worker and John Thornton owns tenements where people live in poverty. Inspired by FaithBW's Back To You, but the plot diverges widely. I draw on my own experience as a social worker to imagine Margaret's life in a modern-day Milton, and I draw on my own *cough* obsession with Richard Armitage to create what I hope is a particularly sexy John Thornton.

    Thank you to my North and South Book Club friends for the inspiration to write my first N&S fic!

    All pics and gifs are of Richard Armitage as Lucas North in Spooks/MI5, the character who most closely matches my image of the modern-day Thornton.

    Summary

    Margaret Hale had never envisioned herself moving to the harbour town of Liverpool.
    She did.
    Margaret had never spent time trying to find a rich husband in need of a wife.
    Mr Thornton did spent an awful amount of time falling for the proud indifferent daughter of Mr Hale.
    Margaret Hale was certain she would forever detest merchants and everything Northern.
    She was wrong.

    AKA the Jane Austen-esque regency AU no one asked for. Rating may go up.

A tense, angst-ridden, mid-canon, slow-burn HEA Retelling of North and South from the day of the riot, both book and TV miniseries based. *COMPLETE AND SOON TO BE TAKEN DOWN*
