Authors note to my readers: I've always loved and adored every single character that I've created. From the softness of June in Tough Love, to the rigid and transparent Cecilia in Stranger. I've never gotten so many compliments on a story as compelling as Psycho. To this day, you good people ask me what happened to Valentina. Raving about the story. It is so flattering! I swear, I can't help but get so excited everytime Psycho is brought up, because of how raw and ruthless a story like Psycho is. Valentina Changretta, a true mad woman who only went to the dingy streets of Birmingham for one purpose: to avenge her husband. You all saw her fall in love with Thomas Shelby, a man she claimed was just as mad as her. I thought s5 of Peaky Blinders was the perfect ending. I thought it was the perfect ending because we were able to see just how fucked up things were getting for Thomas. With the help of you all, this led me to have an idea... Psycho 02. Synopsis: When the failed attempt to murder Oswald Mosley goes astray, Thomas Shelby finds himself in Bari, Italy. A plan, unbeknownst to Valentina Changretta, orchestrated by Polly Grey and Thomas Shelby is set in motion. The plan was simple, Thomas charm Valentina into revisiting her romantic past with him in England. She's the only one mad enough to kill Oswald, Polly was sure of it. But is that right? Was Valentina Changretta mad enough to assassinate Oswald Mosley? Was Thomas Shelby capable for rekindling their love affair? "Thomas," Valentina looks down at Thomas, "Evil destroys itself, right?" (this is post s5) (lizzie and tommy are married in this fanfic) (also - tommy will be visiting valentina a year after her departure)

"Don't fuck with Valentina Changretta."

Lacuna (N.) a blank space, a missing part *** 'We've known each other for 12 years Tommy, don't you fucking dare die on me now.' 'You expect to much.'

[ PEAKY BLINDERS S4 | SHORT STORY] « what are you doing? » « reading you » she replied simply, stroking the lines on his face « hatred, pain, sadness, loss » she paused « war » [ I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT ANNABELLA AND HER STORYLINE. THE BOOK FOLLOWS THE EVENTS OF S4 BUT SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN ALTERED FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY ]

This is a story about loss and love What if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do? What if that pit in your stomach is truly a sign that something isn't right? Mrs. Shelby lost her husband. And she can't cope. Maybe it's mental illness, maybe she's refusing to accept the loss of her husband. Completed but unedited 🎉

there's no kindness in your eyes the way you look at me, it just ain't right... *completed but unedited 🎀

PAINTING IT ALL RED: PART ONE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL: PART TWO "It'll do you well not to speak to me like that, young lady," Young lady. Typical. "It'll do you well not to talk down on me, Mr Kinsmen. I own this establishment, me and me alone. I own it legitimately, inside the law, and it is mine," He stayed silent as you continued. "If anything threatens that, I will take legal action. I am secure. I am protected- And you don't want to see me mad, Mr Kinsmen. You really don't," After leaving Birmingham, you thought that it would be easy to move on. Even if you're still plagued with dreams, even if you still think about the Shelby's from time to time, you knew that you'd be better off after you left it all behind. Two years later, time eventually catches up with you-- The Shelby's come back into your life in the worst of circumstances.

PAINTING IT ALL RED: PART ONE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL: PART TWO "This may not be the promised land, but I assure you I am capable of pouring beer into glasses." "If this isn't the promised land, why would you come here?" He spoke. You laid your eyes on the back of his head. "No one ever went to the promised land to be a barmaid, Mr. Shelby." After leaving your suffocating home, with only your paints and the clothes on your back, and hopping on a train to Birmingham, the last thing you expected was to be working for Thomas fucking Shelby. You also didn't expect to be breaking the law for him, but working for the Shelby Brothers was never going to be simple...
