Love Softly Rising by philipaholt
Fandoms: North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV, North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South (UK TV)

Summary
As a result of her actions during the riot, Margaret Hale and John Thornton must marry. Margaret is determined to make the most of the unexpected turn in her life.
Yes, alright, it's one of THOSE fics, loves. (As if North and South didn't have enough of them, I’ve gone and written another one.) Here we have the forced marriage trope but without all the misunderstandings and angst and torture over married "activities". Like my friend DaisyNinjaGirl (Whose similarly inspired story is wonderful. Please read it.) I wanted to answer the question 'What if John and Margaret both decided to be honest and open and just try, for the love of all that's holy, to actually get along...all while properly shagging like normal people?' And here we are.
This is for anyone who's ever come home from a bloody long day and just wanted a smutty, happy, North and South story.
PS. This is already complete. (Yes...I wrote all 20 chapters...aren’t I clever?) So Happy Christmas, loves. I hope you enjoy it!

A Breath of Hope by philipaholt for TRavine
Fandoms: North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell | UK TV, North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South - Ambiguous Fandom
13 Jun 2023

Summary
In October 2022, I wrote a one-shot entitled ‘A Breath of Hope’ as part of a collaborative collection of stories about time travel. At the time of publication, readers unanimously asked for more. This is my more.
I’m giving this story to TRavine. You asked me to fix it, and I tried. For you. I hope it doesn’t disappoint (and I hope you have a hankie). Enjoy.
(PS. This is complete and was written primarily to the tracks of ‘Cosmic Love’ and ‘Breath of Life’ by Florence + The Machine. No one asked but I wanted to tell you.)

His to Possess by Thegirlwithfreckles

Summary
The proposal scene from North and South, but re-imagined with a much more satisfying ending, rated M just in case. Currently a one-shot but I may continue if the inspiration strikes.

I Want to Be Your Everything by lilith32
Fandoms: The Lancaster Family Series - Sarah M. Eden, Seeking Persephone
20 Jul 2026

Summary
“I see, so you wish for time to rekindle with your lover?” He’d yanked his hand from hers, crossing his arms. “He leaves tomorrow.”
“Adam, I simply think of him as a friend as I always did.” She rubbed his arm again (practically purring as she felt the muscle).
“Goodnight.” He’d turned then, to the edge of the bed and away from her. It’d stung, but Persephone was so dog tired she fell reluctantly to sleep.
Frustration had festered inside her all night, thinking of the cold way Adam had dismissed her and her want. He hadn’t offered true conversation of the subject; he decided what was best for him.
OR after their return from Shropshire Christmas, Adam and Persephone struggle to adjust to their new relationship, communication is hard and only made harder with the entrance of an old Lancaster family friend. Both must continue to push for each other to grow.
