Thomas Shelby is beguiling, brilliant and brutal. He can't afford to be anything else, for keeping a grip on Birmingham's criminal empire is no easy feat. Even with family and manpower, some days are much worse than others. So how the hell does the Tigress - having dropped out of the sky without the slightest understanding of English, no more than two identical bodyguards by her side and, more importantly, a woman - keep the sprawling red canopy of Chinatown under control? Ambitions are great, and as its name suggests, Small Heath isn't big enough to accommodate all. Shelby and the Tigress butt heads, rubbing each other the wrong way like flint against stone, both finding the other despicable, traitorous and too smart for their own good. But as secrets come to light and lives are threatened, they find that perhaps they have more in common than they think. After all, flint and stone make sparks, and sparks can turn into roaring fires. --- "I can't kill you if you're already dead."

You really don't," After leaving Birmingham, you thought that it would be easy to move on.

(Fanfiction, Peaky Blinders, Alfie Solomons) For years Abigail Feinman has ended the lives of men preying on the unprotected, the friendless, the poor and desperate of Camden. A scar across her throat is a constant reminder of her own childhood brush with horror, one that stole her parents as well as her voice. All she has left is rendering violent services on behalf of the working folks of Camden, evoking fear and dread in the hearts of men. One man, however, is not afraid of her... not at all. Alfie Solomons thinks the so-called 'Angel of Camden' is a downright nuisance. He resents the hushed tones his men use when speaking about 'her'--whomever she is--as well as the pervasive sense of fear plaguing businesses that pay for his protection, and 'bread.' The specter is bad for business. The specter must be dealt with, no matter her story... even despite his own curiosity? Fucking hell.
