Gypsy wisdom teaches that fate is something that lurks in every decision, in every glance at the stars, in every sound that seems to resonate in the heart. They say that fate is not something permanent, but a dance between free will and inevitability. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Thomas had met his first love before he went to fight in the war? Maybe history would have turned out differently...

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 was the bane of Tommy Shelby's existance. He loved her, of course. He'd be mad not to. She was his daughter after all. Born in 1906, Vera became the daughter of a seventeen-year-old Tommy Shelby. At first he didn't know what to do with her. He'd hold her at a distance as if she held some sort of disease. He had been one of the many stupid boys to find themselves spending their evening with a Watery Lane prostitute. It was nothing out of the ordinary, no. All of the men seemed to do it. Tommy just happened to be the one to get one of them pregnant. . . At least that was the story that he told his daughter. "Silly little gypsy girl from Watery Lane"

This definitely isn't your or my typical Thomas Shelby Fanfic. This is a story in which Tommy needs to take reign or care of the female protagonist - Jade Verga. This is a story of needing and not just about romance and kisses. Which is something we all crave at the end of the day. It's a stripped down story, one that is raw with truth and angst. That selfish need is a sense of belonging at the end of the day. It's needless to say, this story means a whole lot to me.

Annie could feel the muscles of her chin tremble like a small child, There's static in her head once more, the side effect of the constant fear, constant stress she lived with. "Anna?" At the sound of her mother's trembling voice, It takes something out of her she didn't know she had left to give. Her eyes drip with tears. Her walls, the walls that held her up, made her strong just... collapses and all she can do is nod. Nod and cry until she felt two warm arms wrap it's way around her, holding her tight with the intention of never letting her go. (Trailer to this series is in my bio.)

Lovely cover by @MissLalice Tommy Shelby made a promise to one Jonah Ward. A promise he didn't keep. But it comes to haunt him when he tries to drown out his sorrows with a young woman.

In Birmingham, it's no secret that Eve Barnes and Thomas Shelby are tied to each other, with everyone knowing their unspoken bond. But to Eve, he's always just Tommy, and their relationship remains quietly unacknowledged in the eyes of the world. When Tommy returns from the war, the Peaky Blinders face even more danger. Now, the question is: are Thomas and Eve still too scared to admit their love, or are they more afraid of the pain their connection might bring to each other? (I will be writing all the seasons depends on how the story goes so that means I will be following the time jumps!)

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." 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.
