Summary
"It is not simply that I dislike him! It is that I have seldomly met anyone I liked less!"
When one careless act sets off a chain of unexpected events, Margaret Hale is forced into a marriage with John Thornton, the very man whom she despises most of all. However, the brooding mill owner entertains some feelings of his own on the matter, and might not quite be the man she has taken him for.

Summary
"...At that point in time, there was not much there to remind people of the man who had, so long ago, initiated the construction of this building, according to plans he had drawn up himself. A man with a vision, and the burning ambition to put it into action, and establish the very first cotton mill on the European continent."
All fiction aside, this is the true story of John Thornton, the man who inspired the character in Elisabeth Gaskell's North and South.

Summary
When a new maid arrives at the Thornton household, Mrs. Thornton takes little notice. However, Sibeal's beauty and intelligence ignite an interest in Mrs Thornton that quickly becomes a flame.
*I firmly believe that Mrs Thornton is a lesbian, I don't know why, but she has really gay energy lol. Maybe it's that she never remarried, even though marriage might have helped pull them out of poverty sooner? This is an interpretation of how this would look, if she came to realise/accept this part of herself, with the added difficulty of class difference, culture and status. Also, this is definitely a work in progress, so... I guess I'll edit later?
