THE GENTLEMAN: Yes, show yourself whenever you want; I have never hated your kind. Of all the spirits who say no, the Mocker is the one who bothers me the least. Man's actions deflate all too easily; he quickly becomes infatuated with absolute rest. Therefore I gladly give him a companion who will goad him and be forced to play the devil. -GOETHE, Faust

They're both selfish, get bored easily, and have access to wads of cash they didn't work honestly to get and neither have any interest in bourgeois rules or morality. ------------------------ So when Thomas Shelby manages to marry into that world, to a woman whose blood is almost as blue as that cursed sapphire of his, a perfect match is the only result one could expect, a stunning result for success.

❝ London smelled of rain and coal. It was heavier than she imagined, colder, quieter. But there was something in Elena that refused to bend to new places. She'd learned long ago that silence and fear never built futures. Late summer of 1920 brought with it not only the quiet beginning of autumn, but also a wind of change, one that carried the scent of dust, sea, and destiny all the way from Mexico to London. It didn't take long for word to reach Thomas Shelby about the new woman in business. A foreigner, they said. A widow. Someone who spoke with an accent that turned heads and worked with a quiet efficiency. Because men like Tommy didn't notice easily. But he noticed her. The way her voice carried conviction. The way her hands, though small, never trembled. The way she looked him in the eye, not as a man to fear, but as one to challenge. She came to London chasing work and a better life. He found in her a fire he thought long gone. And neither of them knew that by the end of that autumn, the wind of change would burn through everything they thought they controlled. ❞ Thomas Shelby x oc 🐦‍⬛
