This is my take on the Peaky Blinders that starts with the men of the world going off to war leaving behind all of their loved ones which for Thomas Shelby meant the girl he had grown up with and lived all of his life.

Find out how things unfold as they all begin to adjust to their new reality once again Set in season one, based on the idea of Tommy Shelby falling in love with someone other than grace aka my oc

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.

But three months after graduating, she was still unemployed.

And the last person she ever expected to meet while trying to survive a job she had taken out of desperation. She was only supposed to work there. He was never supposed to become a part of her life.
