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.

Upon his return from the war, Tommy Shelby imposed one single rule onto his brothers: We don't speak about France. Ever. But when a ghost from his past forces her way back into his life, wrecking his illusion of peace like a cannonball, perhaps he doesn't have much of a choice. ▸ Peaky Blinders ➾ Set before Season 1 ▸ COMPLETED ©Fleur-DeLys Highest Ranking: #1 in Tommy Shelby #1 in Shelby

"A man does not recover from such a devotion of the heart to such a woman! He ought not; he does not." 1913 Rosalind Spencer, the favourite daughter of Warwickshire's duke, fell in love with a gangster. Rosalind fled to Birmingham to escape the dull monotony of aristocracy and crashed into Tommy Shelby's life. They experience a summer of great love, and as Autumn comes, the pair commit to each other. 1914 Only a year after they embarked upon their journey of devotion, Gavrilo Princip ravaged their plans. A vow to wait for each other leaves their lips on a crowded station platform, but as the steam dissipates and the train leaves her view, reality and Rosalind are reunited. 1929 Rosalind Montgomery sits in a palatial library re-reading the same page of Pride and Prejudice, the particular book has been hers since she was 15 and has her maiden name of Rosalind Evangeline Constance Spencer written in the front; a telltale sign of a bygone era when she believed in soulmates and love always winning. But those dreams had left with Tommy Shelby on the train in 1914. Tommy Shelby sits in his office, a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth. A cup of tea is abandoned on his desk, the tea was his wife Lizzie's attempt to get him to drink more in the day. His desk draw is open, and a picture of a younger Tommy and a beautiful woman is gracing his palm. Does time change anything and does love ever truly fade?

A war nurse with a past she can't escape. A gangster who owns Birmingham and her heart. One kiss, one secret, and a city full of danger. Can Winifred survive the Shelbys, her vengeful ex, and the man she should never love? (Not true to the Peaky Blinders storyline)

"I know you are a man who has lost a great deal, Mr. Shelby. And I know that fear is the only language you think Birmingham speaks. But I have spent ten years with the Sisters; your shadows don't frighten me nearly as much as the thought of a child going without a coat tomorrow." She is a woman of cloth and conviction. He is a man of lead and whiskey. Mabel is the lead teacher at the Grace Shelby Institute, a place built on the sins of the Shelby family. She isn't under any illusions about who pays her wages; she's seen the blood on the notes. But while the rest of Small Heath trembles at the click of iron-shod heels in the night, Mabel simply keeps her needle moving. When Thomas Shelby wanders into her classroom at two in the morning, he's looking for the silence his own mind refuses to give him. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to be his victim or his devotee. To Tommy, she is a sanctuary he doesn't deserve. To Mabel, he is a soul that no amount of prayer can fix-but that doesn't mean she won't try. A story of faith, fire, and the mending of a man who thought he was beyond repair.

➜ "You gonna keep talking," he said, his voice a calm whisper, almost teasing, "or let me kiss you?" In a city carved by violence and loyalty, Evelyn Harrow was never meant to fall for Thomas Shelby. But desire doesn't follow rules. And love was never part of the plan. ────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ──── Birmingham, 1919. Evelyn Harrow arrives in the smoky heart of the city with one mission: spy on Tommy Shelby and bring down the Peaky Blinders from within. Daughter of a ruthless gang kingpin, she is trained to be a weapon-cold and calculating. But as Evelyn delves deeper into the Shelby world, the lines between duty and desire blur. When love threatens to undo her carefully constructed allegiance, Evelyn must choose: loyalty to her family... or the man who might be her only salvation.
