London was ran by three different organisations. One owned by Alfie Solomens. The other owned by Darby Sabini. And the last owned by The Abbott's. The Abbott's were forces to be reckoned with. They were ghosts that lingered in the smoke of London City. Everybody knew them but nobody spoke of them. To speak their name was a dangerous game. One wrong word and you'd find yourself being led into an alleyway by Cecilia Abbott, the daughter of Rafael Abbott. She was scarily beautiful. One drink and you'd do anything she asked you to. But one day, Cecilia finds her match. Somebody who seems to be incredibly similar to her. At first they clash. Then they don't. After experiencing a betrayal, Tommy Shelby finds himself completely intrigued by Cecilia and cannot stay away from her. 𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐏 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄

𝐖here Valerie and Tommy are brought together through grief, desperate to feel a comfort that they both once knew.

Tommy and Delilah first met in the early months of the war - she had been pregnant, the father of her child running off. With the need to leave Small Heath, she found herself taking part. Though she wasn't on the front line, fighting alongside soldiers, she managed to grace the soldiers with her gentle smile, serving them drinks on the rare occasions that they'd find themselves away from the trenches. Realising that he could not make it back to England, Tommy decides that getting to know somebody was not something on his mind - so, when taking a liking toward Delilah, he asked her for a favour. A favour that meant she would take the watch that he wore - a family heirloom. He asked her to keep it safe and, if by some miracle he returned back to England, he would find her again.

When being visited by Arthur Shelby, Annie realises that she is no longer alone - she no longer had to fear the nightmare she was living. Deciding that it was time to save herself, Annie does something she never would have dreamt of. Began: 16/2/25 Published: 30/3/25 Finished:

| A Thomas Shelby Fanfic | The boy who leant against his desk with an expensive cegar hung from his mouth, wasn't a boy anymore, but a man. Not even a man. More a ghost of a man, blinded by the horrors of war. A true monster created by such madness. The boy she once knew, was now a distant memory. Or a complete fantasy that she had frabricated with her own mind. Thomas Shelby was gone. The war had taken him from her, and she hated God for it.

It would be just months before World War One that Greta fell victim to illness. He remained at her bedside every day, wiping her tears and making her laugh. But then the letter came. . the one that confirmed the war. It would be the letter that destroyed families as they learnt that their men would be sent away to fight. Tommy tried to refuse, of course. He didn't want to leave Greta, not whilst she was still unwell. But her sister Kitty told him to go- to do his part like the rest of them. She said there was no use of him waiting to see if Greta would return to good health. He, again, refused - until Greta agreed with her sister. "Go," she whispered whilst holding his hands, "and i'll be right here waiting for you to come back home."
