Hold On

When Alma Sanchez meets Thomas Shelby, she's certain she's met the man of her dreams. But he's off to serve in the war a day later, and that dream doesn't come true. As life zips by, she goes from being the most amazing nurse to an opium addict who lives in a whorehouse.

When John Shelby meets Alma Sanchez, years later, he imagines he'll be her saviour. Save her from the miserable life she was subjected to. He asks for her hand in marriage, and in Shelby fashion, they get married thereafter. But can she still hold on to that dream of her and Thomas? Even when she's married to Thomas's little brother?

Request fic: @missfraunfeld //// It is literally the best writing I've seen in so long. And yeah I totally get it. If you do have time I would love one where the girl is due to marry John and he is very distant towards her at the beginning. She's also Puerto Rican (i know its kind of weird due to the era that it is set in but whatever) and she starts getting a lot of racist shit and is in danger because of it. And tommy just kind of saves her and just make it fluffy at the end but not too sappy
