| a john shelby fanfic | She ran from a life chosen for her - and straight into one far more dangerous. On the day she's meant to marry into wealth and status, Amelia Bartlett does the unthinkable: she runs. Still in her wedding dress, she escapes the future her parents promised would keep her safe - only to stumble into the middle of Shelby business she was never meant to see. Now trapped between a powerful upper-class family determined to get her back and the notorious brothers who can't afford loose ends, Amelia finds herself under the watch of John Shelby - reckless, loyal, and far more human than his reputation suggests. But the Shelby world isn't just guns and smoke. It's grief, family, and children who have already lost too much. As danger closes in and old wounds resurface, Amelia must decide whether freedom means running again... or choosing a life she never imagined could be hers.

In a world of guns and soot, Arabella Thorne was born into a world that she didn't belong to. Still, she found her place in the shadow of the Shelby empire - especially after catching the eye of the man who runs it. Being the sister of Freddie Thorne meant she had to fight battles that weren't her own, but rather inherited. While she didn't fight in the war but instead volunteered as a front line nurse, Arabella knew how to win the battles. It was incredibly easy when Tommy Shelby was willing to move a mountain in her name despite swearing her name wasn't worth more than gold to him.

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

After abruptly calling off her arranged engagement to a wealthy but cruel London banker, Clara Whitlow is sent away in disgrace by her parents. To avoid scandal, they send her north to Birmingham to live with her aunt and uncle, who promise to "keep her in line." Clara expects a dull exile-grey streets, strict manners, isolation. Instead, she meets Ada Shelby, a young fiercely loyal woman with a rebellious soul. Clara and Ada become unexpected best friends, despite coming from completely different worlds. Soon Clara meets Thomas Shelby. Ada's older brother and falls for him almost instantly. "Stay away from the Shelbys. Especially Thomas Shelby." But warnings come too late.
