Basically a little drabble about Margaret and John's feelings after he kisses her on the train and the ensuing changes that follow for their lives in Milton. Summary lacks, story does not! (probably)

What would change if Margaret had come into John's factory already horrified at how fast a cotton mill could go up in flames, and had seen Stephens before John did?

Irene Young is a cold-hearted and calculating woman that likes privacy above everything else. But when a sudden change of events forces her to work more closely with the reserved John Thornton, more than she would like, and another woman comes into view; chaos ensues. Friendships are broken and made, romances bloom and death lurks around every corner of Milton. John/OC. -ON HOLD-

When Mr. Thornton calls during Fred's visit, Margaret gets him to come inside rather than accidentally driving him off. A second chance instead of further pain ensues.

Margaret, after Mr. Thornton tells her of the inquest being settled, decides to reveal Fred's visit. Mr. Thornton, who lies to no one, has lied on her behalf. The least she can do is tell him why he has gone against his ways, she decides.

Mr. Thornton discovers that Margaret's disdain for tradesmen has nothing to do with his social status... If that summary confused you, I'm sorry. I'm horrid at summaries, but you'll just have to read the story for clarification! ;) AU, ummm...I think that's the only warning. :D Enjoy!

After Fanny's wedding, Margaret's feelings overwhelm her. As Bessie has already died, Margaret is forced to write things down in a journal. Watch as events unfold to throw Margaret and Mr. Thornton together. Rating for author safety. :D Terrible summary, story's better, so please read! Disclaimer: I do not own North and South. It is the brain-child of the lovely Elizabeth Gaskell.

After the "foolish passion" scene, Margaret is very agitated and contemplates telling Mr. Thornton about Frederick. During her contemplating, she realizes she loves him and decides he can be trusted to keep Frederick's secret. One-shot, AU. Rating to be safe

When a business acquaintance of John Thornton's arrives in Milton, how will Margaret and their marriage fare when past relationships are revealed? Love, drama, misunderstandings- here is a fanfiction that involves characters old and new. Note: This piece is not intended to mimic Elizabeth Gaskell's style.

Enjoy :D I know a little bit of a happy ending, but I was disappointed hearing about Book 3 so I made an alternative ending. I have no clue when James Huntoon's bd would have been, I used a calculator to find out he was born in 1834, and I just used May just because ;

What Mr. Thornton might have said to Margaret at The Great Exhibition if Fanny had not interrupted them.

A poem of my favorite scene from North and South, featuring Thornton and Margaret perspectively. and yes I just made that word up

When John beats Stephens a young woman slaps him and he's thrust into her world of reduced circumstances. Will he be able to forget Margaret to help her? John Thornton/OC. AU.
