This is pure fictional work. So please, don't be offended by the inconsistencies with reality. Plus, my English is not perfect because I'm French but I'm working really hard on it so you ever want to suggest any corrections or help, or just talking you're welcome. I've messed up with the Peaky Blinders show too and Lord knows how much I love this show exactly as it is, so please apologize for this too. ENJOY.

He was dark. She was light. He was destruction. She was salvation. With him, she didnt feel so helpless. With her, he didnt feel so... dangerous.

Eddie Brock has had a hard time finding bad guys for once and Venom is ravenous. He takes over Eddie completely for a few days in order to find food. Dw this fan fiction has sex in it. It is technically Xreader until "A bad idea". You have been warned. I just kept writing it and it's kind of hard to move a story along by only focusing on Venom. Like there isn't much to him, he likes eating ppl that's kinda it. Eddie Brock balances Venom out, but he isn't the main focus of this story so MC needed some personality, sorry?

James Delaney brings on a maid to care for House Delaney. And they have so much in common! A semi-AU set somewhere in the first season of Taboo, with an original character. Lorna hasn't moved in and James is already mostly over Zilpha. But who is this young interloper with a penchant for casual witchcraft!?

"So, then you are who I think you are?" I ask. He pulls the scarf down again to expose his mouth and gives me a wry smile. "Depends on who it is you think I am, I suppose." His face gives nothing away but there's a twinkle in his eye. I bite my lip feeling shy all of a sudden. "Um, I'm Francesca. My friends call me Frankie." I tell him. If it's not him then I can be on my way and home in ten minutes and he'll be just a lunatic hiker who picked the wrong month to go explore the great outdoors. Then he'll freeze and die and I'll have a strangers death on my conscience and not the death of an A-list actor I've had a crush on for ten years. "Nice to meet you Frankie," he says. "I'm Tom. But my friends call me Tommy. I'd shake your hand but I reckon I might lose it you know? It's probably halfway gone already." He flexes his fingers to check the life in them. And I'm no longer calm. Ok. So this was happening. I'd been stopped by a hitchhiking Tom Hardy on a remote desolate island in the middle of a bloody snowstorm. You just never knew the minute did you? ****************************************************** Just a fun A/U FanFic about the god that is Tom Hardy. This is A/U. Tom is not married in this universe. In my fantasy universe he's married to me. In another universe he's a sexy pirate. In another universe he's the emperor of a kingdom of dogs (woof) ... you get the gist. IT'S A VALENTINES FANTASY.
