The First World War was bloody and cost the lives of millions, whether they be it men, women or innocent children. Innocence was stolen and in turn, was replaced with torture in the form of nightmares, scars and ... war. A young war nurse that served in the war from 1914-1918 had her innocence stolen from her but she remained strong and survived and prospered. Tragedy stuck this young woman and she moved, with her young son, to a small area called Small Heath in Birmingham where she met the man who would become her husband, father of her children and her equal. This man in turn found his soulmate, his everything, his salvation.

Will she be able to fit into society with her huge amount of knowledge about the future? Will she be able to go unnoticed by the Peaky Blinders? Or will she get herself in trouble and blow up her cover? Most important though, will she be able to survive in the dangerous world of the Peaky Blinders? __________________________________________ Started: 08.02.2021 Completed: 26.07.2023 Like always I am going to mention that English is not my first language, so please feel free to point out my mistakes. I do not own any of the characters except for Annabelle, Joanne, Paola, Madeline and Will. Since I am no fan of unrealistically fast developing relationships, this will be a "slow burn" fan fiction. *WARNING* incredibly slow burn.Complete

πππππ πππππ ππ πππ πππππ¬ was ruled by the Shelby family - or more so their gang. The Peaky Blinders were the infamous gang who earned their respect through the fear of the people. With the blades sewn into their flat caps and the weapons tucked into their jackets, people bowed their heads when passing them in the streets. You were considered lucky to have not had a run in with any of the three elder Shelby brothers. Arthur was the eldest. He was known for his fighting. You would often find him in the ring against somebody who was not his size. He went mad during the war and his return was nothing hit a relief for his mind. But when thinking he had finally escaped the war, one had started in his head. Arthur Shelby was his own enemy. Thomas was the second eldest - the most feared. He had a head for business and more common sense than his older brother. He had icy eyes which very rarely softened at the sight of anything. He was known for his trait of being unmerciful and careless. Despite being the second eldest, he was the brother who held the power. The brother who controlled the rest of them. John was the youngest of the three and arguably the softest. With his wonky smile and cheeky remarks, many of the girls in Small Heath found themselves falling at his feet. He would often find himself in trouble for acting childish. He didn't care too much for the business of the gang. He cared for the respect it brought their name. He enjoyed the thrill. And then you had John's twin sister - Francesca. Known for being one of the only Shelby siblings who seemed to laugh at Thomas. Her sister, Ada, being exactly the same. Francesca found that her brothers were ridiculous - too big for their boots as she'd say. Though she liked to use their name to get herself out of trouble. Francesca was often reckless and lacked the awareness one needed for the streets they lived in. She was her mother's daug
The Wildest of Them All, peaky blinders
THE WILDEST OF THEM ALL - a Peaky Blinders fanfiction IN WHICH all sorts of things happen, at home and outside, every day, but Darcy doesn't recall having ever thought that in the life she had there was particularly bad. Life was like that, that's all, she grew up with the duty to make it difficult for others before they made it difficult for her. Little devil, they called her. The wild, Italian half sister of the Shelby siblings, blessed with the beauty of her mother, cursed with the wickedness of her father. She was a wildfire, a force of nature that couldn't be contained or tamed. And just like wildfire, she was unpredictable, sometimes spreading warmth and light, other times, leaving destruction in her path. But despite the chaos she brought, there was a raw beauty to her wild nature. She was a force of change, a reminder to all that some are born to be Shelby. Darcy was. And no one dared to say otherwise. She was a girl who blazed her own trail, and in doing so, set the world on fire with her passion and unapologetic authenticity. Darcy was desire itself consumed in pure madness, lost in vain, a prodigal existence yearning for freedom, the kind that the Shelby family couldn't give. A kind of freedom she would take and live.

( oc x oc ) π ππππππππ ππππππ - 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. ππ πππ πππ πππ, - 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.
Because every girl needs their own prince charming, but some girls need their own birmingham gangster. β’BOOK ONE COMPLETEDβ’ β’SEASON ONE- SEASON TWO PEAKY BLINDERSβ’ β’Thomas Shelby x female ocβ’ β’started 25:06:2020:: finished 10:09:2020β’ β’#1 in #peakyblinders 6:8:2020β’ β’BOOK TWO FINISHEDβ’ β’UNDER EDITINGβ’ I wrote this when I was like 13, it's messy :)
