London 1816 East Ender, Flash Billy, is a gutter rat who has fought his way up to crime lord by the power of his own mettle, a villainous reprobate to whom violence and trickery are second nature. When he is pickpocketed by a brassy orange seller with a fierce temper and light fingers, his interest is immediately snared. After unwittingly using her skills on the wrong man, Meg Turner finds that relying solely on herself for survival, might no longer be her choice. Marine Police Inspector, Freddy Scriven is on the hunt and closing in on his prey. He plans to hang the scurrilous Billy, but can he resist the lure of a fiery thieving vixen?

Different take on North and South. It starts when Mr. Thornton leaves Margaret after his disaster of proposal. She acidently falls and loses her memory of the proposal and the day of the riot. Will that be his chance to make it right this time?

When she arrives with her parents in Milton after her father takes a job there, Margaret Hale, with the prospect of adapting to a new life ahead of her, catches sight of a man in the street that looks like a "perfect stranger". However, on an errand to speak to the family's landlord, Margaret finds this romantic image shattered when she finds that her perfect stranger is not so perfect after all. For John Thornton, both the Hales' landlord and proprietor of the Milton Hotel, this first encounter with Margaret has an equally profound impact when she catches him arguing with his brother-in-law. He knows that he must try and rectify her bad opinion of him - but first she has to agree to talk to him.

This is a continuation of the story of North and South, many years after the last meeting between Margaret and John. In 1854, Margaret was living with her aunt and cousin in London after the death of her father earlier in the year. John Thornton comes to dinner at Harley Street as a guest of Henry Lennox, and Margaret hears of his failed business. With Henry's assistance, Margaret comes up with a scheme to loan Thornton the money to restart his mill. In this story, Margaret does not keep the appointment with Thornton, flees to Spain, and leaves it to Henry to tell Thornton about the loan. It is now 1862 and Margaret must return to England, to start over again once more. Although the BBC adaptation of North and South is a favorite, this story is based on Mrs. Gaskell's novel, which did not end at a train station, it ended in a London parlor, much the same way the book began. Apologies for not having a train scene; however, inferences to actor Richard Armitage as John Thornton are simply unavoidable.

Margaret Hale had two choices that fateful day at the train station. Ten years later she is recently widowed and about to return to Milton for the first time in a decade. What & who awaits her and will she find a new love, or rediscover an old one?

A woman alone with a child in a time when little was held sacred, can they survive?

A twist on Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, Somewhere in the World sets the characters in the North and South of the U.S. Civil War.

A young German writer happens to befriend one of her most adored actors - Richard Armitage. As things develop their friendship deepens, but what happens when she discovers that friendship might not be enough for her? This is my first try on writing fanfiction - and my first try writing in English. I hope it's not to awkward. ------------------ Looks like it's a slow-burner... be patient, the rating will be justified some time later... ;) I've got lots of short snippets already in my head, I don't know how much I will write down...
