82 Boulevard de Clichy Paris, France 1925 The Moulin Rouge. Tommy Shelby finds himself wrapped up with a ballerina turned cabaret dancer with a tumultuous past. One fateful night, he finds that they have much more in common than he anticipated. Awesome cover by Miss Lalice!

Dorothy Monroe is a petite woman with a heart too big for her chest. She's pure, kind, she looked at the world and determined all the colours of nature were miracles and needed to be remembered. She's loved photography ever since her father brought a camera home and even had a gift with the newly designed lenses ever since she could wrap her small hands around the clunks of metal. Thomas Shelby: gangster; and war hero; he reads the devils script as if it were the morning newspaper - the list will go on. I don't need to say much more, you already know him. The Shelby family, as part of Tommy's expansion plan, bought a large area of the woods on the outskirts of Small Heath, far away from the Birmingham smog, there they built safe houses and kept heavy machinery; maybe even once they kept a large crate of stolen guns, supposedly belonging to the Government. Unbeknownst to Dorothy, who stumbled around the woods (a bulky camera in hand), she had explored the woods many times, taking photos of all the things that shined bright enough, but had never come across the peculiar buildings that held many dangers. That is, of course, until she knocks upon one of the doors, ready to give an earful to whoever had built over this precious patch of land, only to come face to face with one Thomas Shelby. -loosely follows the plot of season 1- *disclaimer* I do not own the Peaky Blinders or any of Steven Knights characters, only the story of Dorothy and her own plot line. This trope is cliche and overused, but idc, I like it.

I'm a big fan of this novel and I feel like it needs more fanfiction of it on here! This is the same story but in the perspective of Ty, an interesting and complex character that I want to look at. I do not own any of the characters or the story. All rights go to the amazing Lucy Christopher, no copy right infringement intended this is purely a fanfiction. And if you haven't read the original novel I strongly suggest you go do that before you read this because Lucy's writing is amazing.
