"Don't play a game with a girl who can play better. " Lola Gray, the daughter of the gangster Polly Gray. Being in the Shelby family was hard enough with all the men around. No man that wasn't in the family would go nowhere near out of fear.

With the blades sewn into their flat caps and the weapons tucked into their jackets, people bowed their heads when passing them in the streets. You were considered lucky to have not had a run in with any of the three elder Shelby brothers. Arthur was the eldest. He was known for his fighting. You would often find him in the ring against somebody who was not his size. He went mad during the war and his return was nothing hit a relief for his mind. But when thinking he had finally escaped the war, one had started in his head. Arthur Shelby was his own enemy. Thomas was the second eldest - the most feared. He had a head for business and more common sense than his older brother. He had icy eyes which very rarely softened at the sight of anything. He was known for his trait of being unmerciful and careless. Despite being the second eldest, he was the brother who held the power. The brother who controlled the rest of them. John was the youngest of the three and arguably the softest. With his wonky smile and cheeky remarks, many of the girls in Small Heath found themselves falling at his feet. He would often find himself in trouble for acting childish. He didn't care too much for the business of the gang. He cared for the respect it brought their name. He enjoyed the thrill. And then you had John's twin sister - Francesca. Known for being one of the only Shelby siblings who seemed to laugh at Thomas. Her sister, Ada, being exactly the same. Francesca found that her brothers were ridiculous - too big for their boots as she'd say. Though she liked to use their name to get herself out of trouble. Francesca was often reckless and lacked the awareness one needed for the streets they lived in. She was her mother's daug

Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.

Minnie Shelby has a pretty rough life, but how will she cope when it seems to be spiralling out of control? Plus her father's getting into big trouble with enemies who might just end their family. Love, loss, hurt, happiness and even betrayal. A/N I do need to advise I have taken most of the lines from the TV show but put my spin on it, showing it from Minnie's point of view, will be a lot of my own writing in there too in between the series where there's gaps.

Happiness is a warm gun / there was a man that lingered in the shadows, often sighted alone with dark hair and dark eyes, but a smile which never came - she had seen his face amongst the crowds for months now and was certain that he was just a ghost, or a spirit like the ones her Aunt Polly spoke of.... but he wasn't a ghost, nor was he a spirit - he was the man they whispered of, the one that Tommy Shelby hoped would come knocking on his door one day. at only sixteen, Maeve weaved her way through the mess that the war had left behind, the men it had broken and left behind, and the women who had no money to feed their children whilst refusing to believe that their husbands were dead - she had seen it all, she thought - she was often sighted in her father's office, helping him with the count, or with her few friends who were never up to any good but there was no such thing as being up to any good if your name was Shelby. © gracessecretshelby / 2026 REWRITING AS OF 09/2026
