    Summary

    Margaret had not expected to see Mr. Thornton so soon, and certainly not so closely. Margaret wavers backwards, towards her front door, and Mr. Thornton descends the steps until his shoes are touching the cobble below. She had rather expected to have more time to work through her own thoughts on the Incident at the mill, before seeing him again. And yet, he is here, acting the proper gentleman, asking after her welfare. Margaret expects it will be easy enough to brush past him, after giving a satisfactory answer as to her health.

    Mr. Thornton, unsurprisingly, is more persistent than that.

    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!
