    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

    John Thornton, Mill owner of Milton Northern. Handsome, successful, a driven complicated man with a tragic and mysterious past. Margaret Hale, of Helstone and London. Beautiful, young, protected by her loving uncle, and cousin of society beauty Lady Edith Lennox. North and South. Their lives are worlds apart, and the path to true love never did run smooth…..

    Set in a later period, beginning in 1869, this is AU John and Margaret’s love story, with many obstacles and misunderstandings before our lovers are finally united.

    Do not be fooled dear reader, things are not always as they seem, and all will be revealed at the end!! While these are not the John and Margaret of canon, I hope I have retained the essence of Mrs Gaskell’s characters.

    Comments are most welcome.

    Summary

    “…so, no, Ben Solo, unless you want to marry me, there’s nothing—NOTHING—you can do to help my situation!” Rey screamed from the top of her lungs.

    She turned roughly away when she felt a stray tear roll down her cheek. God damn it. It was so mortifying. Of all the people in San Francisco she could break down in front of, it had to be Ben-fucking-Solo. She took a few steps backwards, intending to spin around and run away before she could embarrass herself any further, but a large hand wrapped around her wrist before she could.

    “Wait.” He didn’t say any more for a second. He only looked at her, his eyebrows drawing minutely together, as if he was puzzling through a stubborn bug, an impossible problem.

    Then, just as Rey was about to shake his hand loose, she heard him ask, “Do you want to?”

    UK borne Rey Unkar thought she finally found a home in Silicon Valley: she has close friends that love her, a great career at Resistance Labs, a vacation to Puerto Rico in the plans, and even an online friend who she can nerd out with on all things C++. Then, her H-1B extension gets denied and she has 10 days before she is required to leave the U.S.
