    Summary

    'Love and Marriage, they go together like a horse and carriage', goes the song.

    But how do desire, attraction and affection evolve in a happy marriage? Here is a fic following John and Margaret's love through the years, to explore these universal themes.

    About the title: "The Air Is Full Of Spices" is a quote from 1995's movie Sense and Sensibility, when Colonel Brandon answers young Margaret Dashwood's question about India. Close your eyes and hear dear Alan Rickman's velvety voice speak his reply... you'll get a good notion of my inspiration for this story 😍

    Summary

    约翰·桑顿的独白:命定的漩涡,清醒地沉溺
    John Thornton's Monologue: A Whirlpool of Fate, Consciously Submerged

    He was in the Charybdis of passion, and must perforce circle and circle ever nearer round the fatal centre.
    他陷于情感的卡律布狄斯漩涡,只能被迫一圈又一圈,不断逼近那致命的中心。
    ——第33章《重归安宁》

    “I wanted to see the place where Margaret grew to what she is, even at the worst time of all, when I had no hope of ever calling her mine. I went there on my return from Havre.”
    “即便是在最绝望的时日,在我毫无指望称你为我的妻子时,我仍想去看看玛格丽特长大的地方。从阿弗尔归来的后,我便去了那里。”
    ——第52章《云开雾散》

    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

    What was this, the third time? Or the fourth?

    Margaret Hale was beginning to lose track. Not that every time John Thornton kissed her wasn't highly memorable, just that it was starting to become a habit; the rule, rather than the exception.

    ****

    Basically, every time Margaret Hale and John Thornton were alone together and could have gotten frisky, they did.

    Summary

    "What business would a family of halflings have this far east?"

    "Hobbits." Thorin said quietly. His father, and future King Under the Mountain, turned around to look at his eldest son. There was a curious light in the blue of his eyes that greatly reminded Thraín of a time long ago; from when he had first married the Lady Frís.

    "What?" He asked.

    "They're called hobbits, father. The halflings are known to the wizard. Our friend, Tharkûn, appears to be the cause of this mischief and had prompted the Bagginses to move abroad. To satisfy some lost inspiration as I was told."

    "The Bagginses! Tell me, who is it that you spoke with, Thorin. Are you also on first-name terms with these visitors from the west?"

    Thorin brought his teeth together, he still spoke too much and often, a poor habit that his young nephews were beginning to pick up. His eyes were drawn towards the south-side barracks, where the city of Dale sat in the distance; he allowed his mind to wander to the curly-haired, bright-eyed fellow that had shouted at him earlier.

    "Aye... There was an incident, with the son."

    Summary

    Margaret and John are forced to marry after Margaret's actions at the riot, but about a month into the marriage that Margaret thought would be a prison sentence, she finds herself... drawn to her husband. Margaret never received an education on marital relations, but she finds herself desperate to be close to John, even if that means making very brazen and bizarre decisions (like walking in on him bathing and offering to, of all things, wash his hair).
