Eleanor Weston swore she would never return to Milton. The smoky air, the endless hum of machinery, and the memories of a past she wished to forget-it was all behind her. But when the Hales decide to move north, she refuses to let Mrs. Hale arrive in a place unfit for her delicate health. Determined and independent, Eleanor journeys to Milton alone, a month ahead of them, to prepare their new home.
What she doesn't expect is John Thornton.
At Mr. Hale's request, the stern and formidable mill master offers his reluctant assistance, drawn to the young woman who seems out of place yet utterly at home in his city. Her quiet strength fascinates him, her defiance challenges him, and her kindness unsettles him in ways he cannot explain. But Eleanor has secrets of her own-secrets that could change everything.
Because John Thornton's landlord, the man he respects, the man whose name holds weight in Milton... is the father she abandoned long ago.
When the truth comes to light, will pride and past wounds drive them apart? Or will love find a way through the smoke and shadows of Milton?

Mama Hale -A Derek Hale Fanfiction ~~REWRITE~~
Lyrica Hale, the wife of Derek Hale, teaches Musical History at Beacon Hills High School. She's a werewolf, bitten and turned at the age of 14. The day she was turned, a mark appeared on the base of her neck, replacing the nasty bite. She had no clue what it was, a confusing black triskele with a bunch of letters around it. She tried to ignore it, until she met Derek and Laura Hale when she was 16, and everything fell into place. Lyrica and Derek move from their happy home in Ohio back to the place that brought Derek so much pain, when his older sister, Laura, calls for help. Lyrica and Derek were never used to being around a lot of people. So, understandably, they're a little overwhelmed when so many teenagers begin relying on them. //Hello! If you're reading this, I assume you have already read Mama Hale, the original draft of this story. If so, welcome to a MUCH better version of the story you all love. If you haven't read the story, that's okay! This one is more or less the same, just fixed up and written better. The sequel, The Mother of Beacon Hills, will still match up with this version of Mama Hale. This story WILL follow the Teen Wolf T.V. show. Enjoy!//

"I can't believe it, you literally had one job." "It's not my fault that my decoy was rubbish." "I'm gonna have to stop calling you hotshot because your shot was so not hot." "Well, I'm sorry my name isn't Killer like you." "Asshole. That's your new nickname. Asshole Blake." -------------------------- Rory Montgomery is a lot of things to a lot of people: Princess. Rebel. Legend. Murderer. Expendable. Prisoner. At the age of 17, she was locked up in the Sky Box by her father (the King) and the closest thing she had to a real dad, Marcus Kane. Rory Montgomery was locked up because she had committed a crime and had to pay, with her life. However, weeks before she turns 18 she is one of the lucky 100 sent to the ground. On Earth, Rory is reunited with her best friends and someone she had thought she would never lay eyes on again. It's here that she begins to realise that maybe they weren't as lucky as they first thought. Earth is no fairytale, it's a full blown fight for survival. Book 1 in the Rory Montgomery series.Complete

Just The Beginning - Sterek
January seventh. Seven days since the start of 2015, and seven days since his father's death. The bastard, he thinks bitterly. The past year Derek Hale had made it very obvious that he hated his scrawny guts, taking every given opportunity to shove him up against a wall, growl threats in his ears and roll his eyes whenever he stepped into the room, muttering some snide comment about how spastic or idiotic he was. So why did he fucking volunteer to take him in. --- This story is from ArchiveOfOurOwn from stiles-and-the-sourwolf. All credits go to her. --- The chapters are mostly 20+ pagesComplete
