Peakyblinders Stories

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.

Rose Shelby is a little tearaway in every sense of the word. A wild little savage girl, who grew up to be a very beautiful and extremely dangerous young woman. And with a ruthless family behind her, she is a man's dream and worst nightmare all rolled into one. Much to the delight of her middle brother and gang leader Thomas Shelby...with his sister by his side he plans to take over the world.

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.

Lillian was the girl Polly Gray raised. Michael was the son she lost. For seven years, Lillian was a Shelby, the living embodiment of a promise made to her dead mother. Then Michael Gray came home, and suddenly she was just the substitute. She was supposed to hate him for stealing her place. He was supposed to resent her for living the life that should have been his. But in the smoke-filled rooms and stolen glances, they found something else: something dangerous and utterly consuming. .......... His gaze was heavy. "Don't look at me like that, Lilly," he warned, his voice a low rumble that did traitorous things to her insides. "As if you're not looking at me the same way."

"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.

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.

He married her to settle her father's debts he had for the Peaky Blinders. It was a form of a contract. But he actually just wanted her safe. She was a scared of his life and deals young woman, always behaving like a proper lady she was. Soft-spoken, overly-polite, a sweet, little wife. She couldn't hide anything. Right?

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. Unsafe for young girls... but not if you were Harrietta or Harry as 'he' went by. 🥇1st in #peakyblinders (18/04/22) 🥇1st in #pollygray (15/11/22) 🥇1st in #thomas (20/12/22) 🥇1st in #thief (12/11/22) 🥇1st in #pickpocket (12/11/22) 🎖3rd in #athurshelby (11/12/22) 🎖4th in #thomasshelby (12/11/22) 🎖4th #johnshelby (16/11/22)

Aurora Garcia had spent three years working the frontlines of the Great War as a battlefield nurse, healing the injured. When the war came to an end, she found herself back in Birmingham continuing her work as a nurse. In such an occupation, she hadn't expected to capture the eye of the leader of the Peaky Blinders, and expected even least for him to offer her a job.

They were once everything. They were once in charge. Now everything has changed. The Peaky Blinders were all arrested and thought to be put away forever but Tommy made sure his family got out. By making a deal with the devil. Crawford. The name would make any sane person shiver, in London they were the best. In charge of everything and their contacts were everywhere. No one was safe with them. No one could go against the family. The Shelby family visit London once more to visit the man in control and he gifts them with his most prized possession. The Poisoned Rose. Completed: 17.10.2017

17 year old Billie is the sister of the most dangerous gangsters in Birmingham. Following in her brothers footsteps:ignorant,rebellious,uncontrollable and angry. With Tommy's mind and Arthur's temper, her family struggle to keep her under control. (I haven't followed the series order)

Tommy Shelby, notorious Birmingham gangster is thrust to his knees and sent to hospital with a serious head injury. Even at his weakest moments he find allies in the most unusual moments. Olivia Heart is full of courage and honesty as she nurses Tommy Shelby back to life all while she's sucked in to his world of razor blades and ultimatums

The only thing more dangerous than a Shelby with a gun is a Shelby in love. Nell Shelby is a name spoken in whispers. She is the "Iron Princess" of the Small Heath, a woman with the calculating mind of Tommy and the defiant heart of Ada. She doesn't scream to be heard, and she doesn't use a gun when a single, well-placed word could do more damage. She is the Shelby's most lethal asset: the negotiator who never blinks. When the power struggle for London reaches a fever pitch, Tommy Shelby makes a calculated move. He sends Nell to Camden Town to oversee the distillery of the one man he can't control. The brilliant, erratic, and utterly mad Alfie Solomons. Tommy's instructions were simple: Watch him. Report back. Don't let him breathe. But behind the locked doors of the distillery, the cold war between the Lion and the Shelby turns into something far more dangerous. In the moments between business deals, Alfie finds the fire beneath Nell's silk dresses, and Nell finds the only man alive who is brilliant enough to keep her interested.
