the strongest man you know is a first born daughter

"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?

Reunited with an old companion, Lorraine has a choice to make: Join the Peaky Blinders, or remain as he is. However, the one thing he wants more than anything remains behind an unscalable wall, one even he dares not to climb.

After abruptly calling off her arranged engagement to a wealthy but cruel London banker, Clara Whitlow is sent away in disgrace by her parents. To avoid scandal, they send her north to Birmingham to live with her aunt and uncle, who promise to "keep her in line." Clara expects a dull exile-grey streets, strict manners, isolation. Instead, she meets Ada Shelby, a young fiercely loyal woman with a rebellious soul. Clara and Ada become unexpected best friends, despite coming from completely different worlds. Soon Clara meets Thomas Shelby. Ada's older brother and falls for him almost instantly. "Stay away from the Shelbys. Especially Thomas Shelby." But warnings come too late.

In the deceptive peace of post-war England in 1919, Nera Shelby lives between two worlds. As a member of the infamous Shelby family, she is inseparably bound to a life shaped by power, secrets, and violence. Yet Nera herself longs for something different: for quiet, for normalcy - for a life not constantly lived in the shadow of fear and loyalty. She loves art and beauty in a world marked by dirt and blood. She finds comfort among horses, in their calm and honesty, far removed from the intrigues that surround her family. With her attentive, warm nature, Nera tries to preserve humanity even where there seems to be little room left for it. As political tensions, government interference, and criminal power struggles increasingly destabilize the Shelbys' world, Nera is drawn deeper into a conflict she never sought. Caught between family and self-determination, duty and freedom, truth and silence, she must find her own path. In a world built on secrets, even the desire for normality can become dangerous. And sometimes, gentleness is the greatest form of resistance. ༺═───────────────────═༻ 1 - #shelbyfamily 1- #pb 1 - #bbc 1 - #1920s

❝ We don't talk anymore like we used to do ❞ ↪The war that had waged with death and destruction was finally over and left only trauma and pain behind. Nothing was the same as before and Thomas and Victoria knew it. Another war had begun, perhaps the worst of all, the one between husband and wife.

➜ "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.
