Arthurshelby Stories

"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.

Matilda Preston is the picture of 1919 high-society perfection. As the wife of Inspector Campbell's ruthlessly ambitious right-hand man, she wears expensive dresses, pours tea into porcelain cups, and hides her husband's bruises beneath high-collared lace. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he brought her back to Birmingham. Before the riches, she was Tilly Walsh-a wild, barefoot girl who ran the muddy alleyways of Watery Lane. And John Shelby has never forgotten her. Now, caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the police and the Peaky Blinders, Tilly is playing a deadly game. By day, she is the perfect copper's wife. By night, she is risking the hangman's noose for stolen moments in the shadows with a razor-wielding gangster who is more than willing to burn the city down to set her free. Julian promised her safety. John promised her ruin. Only one of them was telling the truth.

When the war came to an end, she found herself back in Birmingham continuing her work as a nurse.

NEW CHAPTERS COMING SOON. Small Heath, Birmingham, was an unsafe place to be. Men stumbling drunk out of pubs, whores there waiting for them on the side of the street, with gang fights happening around the corner.

In a world of guns and soot, Arabella Thorne was born into a world that she didn't belong to. Still, she found her place in the shadow of the Shelby empire - especially after catching the eye of the man who runs it. Being the sister of Freddie Thorne meant she had to fight battles that weren't her own, but rather inherited. While she didn't fight in the war but instead volunteered as a front line nurse, Arabella knew how to win the battles. It was incredibly easy when Tommy Shelby was willing to move a mountain in her name despite swearing her name wasn't worth more than gold to him.

Tommy has lost all trust in those around him. After the betrayal of Grace he isn't willing to make the second mistake twice. Annabelle Thorn was employed to work at Arrow House by Mr Shelby and neither understood what they had signed up for.

Eleanor Shelby didn't bluff, didn't charm, didn't play games. She didn't need to. Being the youngest Shelby-by barely a year beneath Finn-never made her soft, and it certainly never made her weak. If anything, it carved something sharper into her. Where others underestimated her, Eleanor thrived. She moved fast, spoke bluntly, and acted before doubt ever had the chance to settle in. Reckless, some would say. Fearless, others whispered. The truth sat somewhere in between.

Of course the news had affected her in all the ways it could but she knew that instead of grieving, she just needed to continue on with her life as she'd been doing when he left. Instead of staying in her small town she despised, surrounded by the people who'd caused her worst pains, she made the decision to leave. An act to better herself and her life, she'd call it. She should've expected that peace wasn't what she'd get when moving to Small Heath, Birmingham. ♡ 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝟭&𝟮

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

She was Polly Gray's daughter. The youngest of the Shelby Clan. What does she get up to?
