"Don't care if he's guilty,
Don't care if he's not; 
He's good and he's bad,
And he's all that I've got."

She grew up watching them, fearing them.  A young girl in Birmingham, being told to stay away from the Shelby family at whatever cost.   Whispering their name as if they'd hear her, and knowing even then that if she were to end up caught up in the lot that she'd end up dead.

But that didn't stop the lad with the piercing blue eyes from thinking that she was the most beautiful creature in the world.  The first time he'd ever seen her, he knew that there would seldom be a girl that could ever catch his eye just as she did.  And he was right.  She remained the apple of his eye for years and years, never saying much to her, knowing that she hated him for who he was and what he did.  He didn't mind, though.  He hated himself, too.

Until one day, one instant, brought them together in a way that neither of them could ever foresee or control.

A wedding.

Gun metal and Daisies (Thomas Shelby) by wordless-writing
50 parts Complete
Dorothy Monroe is a petite woman with a heart too big for her chest. She's pure, kind, she looked at the world and determined all the colours of nature were miracles and needed to be remembered. She's loved photography ever since her father brought a camera home and even had a gift with the newly designed lenses ever since she could wrap her small hands around the clunks of metal. Thomas Shelby: gangster; and war hero; he reads the devils script as if it were the morning newspaper - the list will go on. I don't need to say much more, you already know him. The Shelby family, as part of Tommy's expansion plan, bought a large area of the woods on the outskirts of Small Heath, far away from the Birmingham smog, there they built safe houses and kept heavy machinery; maybe even once they kept a large crate of stolen guns, supposedly belonging to the Government. Unbeknownst to Dorothy, who stumbled around the woods (a bulky camera in hand), she had explored the woods many times, taking photos of all the things that shined bright enough, but had never come across the peculiar buildings that held many dangers. That is, of course, until she knocks upon one of the doors, ready to give an earful to whoever had built over this precious patch of land, only to come face to face with one Thomas Shelby. -loosely follows the plot of season 1- *disclaimer* I do not own the Peaky Blinders or any of Steven Knights characters, only the story of Dorothy and her own plot line. This trope is cliche and overused, but idc, I like it.

The Jew and the Gypsy. Who would have thought? "Imagine their faces, right?" He tilted his head with a partial smirk strung out on his lips. "Imagine their faces when they 'ear a woman is running with the Peaky Blinders." "Those who do never see another day to gossip," she spoke with the same threatening tone as Alfie. "Besides," she paused with a glint of mischief glistening in her darkening gaze. "I won't be with them for very long if my brothers suspect my time here in London to be a tad too long to be strictly for business." "So wot are yous 'ere for right now?" The room seemed to close in on the two of them as they were suddenly close enough to feel the other's breath against their cheek. "Business or pleasure?"
