Had things been different by Captainfrederickwentworth reviews
This is a retelling of Gaskell's North and South, but with a twist. At the beginning of our story, when Margaret is propositioned by Henry Lennox, she feels obligated to agree. (I've used a bit of poetic license with her reasons). Anyway, Margaret marries Lennox and then goes to visit her parents a few months later, as they have moved north. What will happen when she meets John?

I am afraid I should be a Coward reviews
Sometimes darkness brings enlightenment. Soon after John Thornton's first proposal, our heroine begins to realize that the master of Marlborough Mills isn't the problem. North & South from (mostly) Margaret Hale's POV. I tend to stick mostly to the novel, but there will be glimmers of the 2004 BBC adaptation, too. (Thanks for the feedback! I'll be updating this story soon! :) )

Catherine Tilney has some very extraordinary nightmares. The title is from Northanger Abbey, but I've manipulated the original meaning of the phrase to fit the themes of the work. :) Yeah, I like the Disney Haunted Mansions. Catherine would love them, too. ;) Happy Hallowe'en!

Things Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill might have been thinking/doing while everyone else was distracted by picnics. I use some of Austen's text to fit the pieces of my version of their plotline together with their actual plotline in the novel. It's meant to be canon-compliant.
