Tommyshelby 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.

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.

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.

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.

"Don't take advantage of Tommy's composure, if you so much lay a finger on her, he'll burn this place to the fucking ground." In which Thomas Shelby has one weakness,and one weakness only. Charlotte Windsor.

War. The first man-made catastrophe of the twentieth century. The Great War lasted four years. After the loss of many lives, the war was finally over. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, a cease-fire went into effect for all combatants. The war may have been over, the effects, however, were horrible. Many of the men who came back from the War were suffering from serious injuries, the effects of Mustard Gas and or shell shock. However, there was one women, in the middle of it all, at the battle of the Somme in the front line and that was Lillian McDonald, Second Lieutenant to Lieutenant Douglas Haig of the Royal Scots infantry. After the four years she gained the Victoria Cross for extreme acts of bravery on the front line as she saved hundreds of lives. Now that the war is over, she is forced to go back to normal, as if she didn't spend the last four years watching men die each day to come back to her father who was too old too fight in the war and try to marry her off to men she didn't want and, so she did the only thing that came to mind. She ran, she ran from her father and away from Scotland and ended up in the city of Birmingham not knowing that her life would change forever. #3 in Thomas Shelby 17/01/19

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.

Tagline: In a city built on smoke and blood, she was the only thing that kept his mind from going under. Description: Krystal Gray was never meant to be a soldier. To the rest of the world, she was the "clean part" of the Shelby family-the petite, sharp-tongued ledger girl with a magnetic tan, gold-rimmed spectacles, and a mind that calculated racetrack fractions faster than a city bank clerk. To Thomas Shelby, she was an anchor. The only touch in England that could quiet the phantom scraping of the shovels in his head. But safety in Birmingham is a ledger written in blood. From a brutal kidnapping by a ruthless Liverpool shipping cartel to a fateful, rain-slicked plunge over a Cotswold cliff, Krystal is dragged down into the freezing currents of the River Severn. Presumed dead, her absence leaves Arrow House an echoing tomb and drives Tommy into a freezing, lethal flatline of absolute madness. Four years later, an amnesiac girl named "Tally" is selling vegetables in the Gloucester mud, completely unaware of the family empire she left behind-or the gold spinel ring hidden beneath her collar. But when the dark green Warwickshire Vauxhall rumbles into the market square, the master calculator of Small Heath steps into her space. He doesn't want a ghost. He wants his wife back. And Thomas Shelby will clear the board with a knife before he lets her slide back into the dark.
