Summary
A modernization of North and South in which Margaret Hale is a social worker and John Thornton owns tenements where people live in poverty. Inspired by FaithBW's Back To You, but the plot diverges widely. I draw on my own experience as a social worker to imagine Margaret's life in a modern-day Milton, and I draw on my own... *cough* obsession with Richard Armitage to create what I hope is a particularly smoldering John Thornton.
Thank you to my new North and South Book Club friends for the inspiration to write my first N&S fic!
All pics and gifs are of Richard Armitage as Lucas North in Spooks/MI5, the character who most closely matches my image of the modern-day Thornton.
The title comes from the Depeche Mode song "Wrong," because John and Margaret keep finding each other "at the wrong place at the wrong time, asking the wrong questions with the wrong replies."

Summary
‘I was endeavouring to help you, Miss Hale!’ his voice rose further with his temper, and Margaret hoped Dixon would soon interrupt. ‘You looked faint, I did not wish you to fall.’ He exhaled deeply, and ran a hand through his hair. ‘I see now it would have caused me far less consternation to have permitted you to bleed on my cobbles, than to act as a gentleman.’
‘You are no gentleman, Mr Thornton.’
*****
Margaret Hale and her family remove to Milton from rural Hampshire. Her father strikes up a friendship with local mill owner John Thornton, but all the reports of him which reach Margaret speak of a cruel, tyrannical man. Who is Mr Thornton, really? -

Summary
1865 - the thrones of Queen Victoria and King William are lost to the wastelands. The House of Kingsbridge is no more, and in its place, factions plot and squabble to rule the destroyed land once called England.
But that is easier said then done, for England herself is a place of ruin and starvation. For the nuclear winter that ripped the royal family apart has rolled its citizens back to the Middle Ages. But for those who have survived the hell of 1858, there is a new threat on the horizon that may blot out even 1848 - America has been at war with itself for going on 4 years, and there is whispers abounding that the Royal Family may be amongst the evacuees who fled on the steamship, the Kerberos.
All of these whispers and plans within plans make for a perfect firestorm to be set upon England's starving lower classes, for as someone once said: fealty is not stronger than the blood that is spilled on the battlefield of power.
