"I know you are a man who has lost a great deal, Mr. Shelby. And I know that fear is the only language you think Birmingham speaks. But I have spent ten years with the Sisters; your shadows don't frighten me nearly as much as the thought of a child going without a coat tomorrow." She is a woman of cloth and conviction. He is a man of lead and whiskey. Mabel is the lead teacher at the Grace Shelby Institute, a place built on the sins of the Shelby family. She isn't under any illusions about who pays her wages; she's seen the blood on the notes. But while the rest of Small Heath trembles at the click of iron-shod heels in the night, Mabel simply keeps her needle moving. When Thomas Shelby wanders into her classroom at two in the morning, he's looking for the silence his own mind refuses to give him. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to be his victim or his devotee. To Tommy, she is a sanctuary he doesn't deserve. To Mabel, he is a soul that no amount of prayer can fix-but that doesn't mean she won't try. A story of faith, fire, and the mending of a man who thought he was beyond repair.

He told her to get out while she still could. She ignored his warning and came back. In reality he was happy she was home. ‼️THIS IS A DARK FIC WITH DARK THEMES IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DO NOT READ‼️

~1923~ In which Tommy's life seems to be falling into place. Business is expanding, the family is thriving, he was a new father and soon to be married. He has everything he's ever needed and is learning to live comfortably with it. That is until he finds a woman sleeping in the hay.

When Annabelle, a young eighteen year old is sent to her grandmothers attic to fetch something she discovers some old photographs and newspaper clippings from 1919. The dates go back to when her grandmother was a child and lived out her own teenage years among the blinders fears. After speaking with her grandmother about the men in the picture her curiosity gets the better of her and and decided to do some further investigations. However nothing would ever prepare her for the journey she was about to begin.

1919 is where it all started, a young girl, almost 24, moved to England to escape her past... holding secrets of her own; she has her own mission. Now being a woman in the early 20th century was hard but she never let it stop her, she played dirty and got what she wanted until that one day. Her parents tragically died on the titanic, forced to work as a singer in her youth at a bar that didn't care about her well being. Sent to war to tend as a nurse the day before her 18th birthday. Her life was a rollercoaster of unfortunate events. However she had been invited to Birmingham by her Auntie, which she finally got in contact with after many years. Nothing could mess it up. Or could it? "Martha Rose Harper was an angel corrupted by misery" One thing she knew for sure is that she didn't fit in: anywhere. We create or own heaven and hell in the life we lead, so when she meets Thomas Shelby they both collide into one. Maybe he taints her soul or she's the one tainting his...

This is my take on the Peaky Blinders that starts with the men of the world going off to war leaving behind all of their loved ones which for Thomas Shelby meant the girl he had grown up with and lived all of his life. When he left he promised to give her the world and more when he returned, however the war seemed to cost more than either him or Nora ever thought it could. Find out how things unfold as they all begin to adjust to their new reality once again Set in season one, based on the idea of Tommy Shelby falling in love with someone other than grace aka my oc

1919. Cora Jane Grayson is the classiest tease on the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham. However, the woman in black and diamonds, finds herself guilty by association when a new Chief Inspector comes over from Ireland and finds her family ties to the Shelbys. The Peaky Blinders. 'I loved you through everything and you don't even care.' [Family • /ˈfamɪli,ˈfam(ə)li/ All the descendants of a common ancestor.] 'Stop the shit, Shelby. You may think that I can't see it but through the wine, and smoke, and blood; I can see your broken. Your broken, beggin' to be fixed. Well, pick a girl because I won't be treated like a common fucking whore!'

The talents of an artistic girl are far more worthy than ever imagined.

"I swear to god Amelia if you walk out that door I'll-" "You'll what Thomas?! Beat me? Break me? Hurt me? You already have! I'm done with this shit Thomas!" Amelia yelled, grabbing her things and heading towards the door. "Amelia-" Thomas said, catching her arm and pulling her close to him. "I. Said. I'm. Fucking. Done. Thomas." She spat, pushing him off her and rushing out the door. Everyone remained quiet, no one dared to look at Thomas. He simply picked up his glass of whiskey, finished it, and slammed it against the wall in front of him before walking out and slamming the door behind him. Thomas Shelby had made the biggest mistake of his life. He had finally pushed Amelia Brooks passed her limits and ruined the one person who brought him peace and happiness.
