"Then you must be a whore, or very stupid..." He said and looked at my clothes again. I looked at his face which seemed to show no expression apart from his narrowed eyebrows. "..cause this ain't the place for good girls." He looked at my face again before reaching for the cigarettes from under his coat. He put one to his mouth and lit it before giving me one more gaze. Then he turned around and walked confidently towards the door.
"Tell Arthur to have them ready at 9. My boys will come pick them up." He said before I heard the bell chime and watched him disappear down the street.

As I became obsessed with The Peaky Blinders I thought I'd try to write a gangster story similar to it but based in Manchester. This is not historically accurate even though it sometimes refers to real places or people. I've never been to Manchester so it is not at all accurate to the actual place. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. 
Hope you enjoy!

Birmingham | Tommy Shelby x Reader by running-outof-time

(Y/N) ends up in Small Heath, Birmingham after she manages to escape her family. She didn't expect that running away from one gang would send her into the arms of another.

Arthur Shelby- Love at First Sight by Skellyagogo

*Modern Day Peaky Blinders AU* A war was brewing because of actions in the past. Thomas Shelby reached out for help in America, but no one was expecting her or the way she'd show up in the Garrison. The fates are a funny thing though, sending a type of person you least expect. She was warned though, 'don't fall in love', too bad she was never one to listen. **I don't own the rights to any of these characters but I do however claim ownership to the stories herein written.

Gun metal and Daisies (Thomas Shelby) by wordless-writing

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.

So It Goes by PartyGetsMeWet

This story is heavily influenced by the setting of the show Peaky Blinders and incorporates SOME of the characters. Though, this story is still able to be read, understood, and enjoyed even if you haven't seen the show. It is loosely based around the 1920's era, but is very modernized so it's easier to digest. *Slow burn book. All photos provided throughout the chapters are for aesthetic purposes only. My point with the photos is to get a general feel for the mood each chapter should bring on. As well as the audio is highly influenced by the music I listened to while writing the chapter. Check out the playlist provided in the intro chapter. TW: This story does contain violence, drugs, and sex. Some scenes describe sexual assault. This story revolves around: Evelyn and her journey in a small European town. She has made close friends with some very successful "business men", that eventually rope her into working for them. Evelyn is an educated woman for the time, but she tends to find herself in reckless situations in order to make ends-meet. As she attempts to climb the ladder of success in a business world ran by men, her patience is tested. She struggles to create new relationships as she works closely along with a man from her past. She is constantly pushed to her breaking point and makes a habit of indulging in drugs, anger, lust, and often tries to find the ability to love along the way.

The Rose of Birmingham | ᴘᴇᴀᴋʏ ʙʟɪɴᴅᴇʀꜱ by MarCafeWrites

"I do bad things. But you already know that." ~ Thomas Shelby A tragic misunderstanding. A murder. A secret. An unlikely partnership. When the disappearance of a Russian refugee brings Lady Rose MacClare to the doorstep of Thomas Shelby, neither party is prepared for the significant changes a single encounter can inspire. As Rose unwillingly ventures deeper into the world of the notorious Peaky Blinders -- spanning ballrooms to dark alleys -- she finds herself torn between her moral compass, her suppressed rebellious youth, her growing love for a motherless toddler, and her mounting attraction for Tommy, a man she knows she should hate. || A historical fanfiction novel combining the fandoms of "Peaky Blinders" and "Downton Abbey." || ⚠️ Read with caution: foul language, violence, trauma, and sexual content within. This novel is NOT a romance. If you're looking for soft, sweet, fake Tommy, look elsewhere. This novel depicts him as he is in the show: flawed. ⚠️ HIGHEST RANKINGS ~ #1 Downton Abbey #1 Peaky Blinders #1 Tommy Shelby #1 Countess #2 England #2 Spying #2 Lizzie Stark #3 John Shelby #40 Birmingham #241 Historical { Began posting 07.25.22 Finished posting 07.17.23 }

The Runaway • 𝑇𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑦 𝑆ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑏𝑦 by rubberdaisy

✧༄ Charlotte knew that right now, she was dancing in the very pits of hell with the devil himself. She knew the Shelby's weren't to be messed with, most of all Thomas Shelby who seemed to be the head of the family. Despite everyone's warnings, she wasn't scared or worried. Even though she knew without a doubt that she was going to burn in the flames that surrounded him. - A woman on the run. A war torn man. Both with more ghost and demons in their closet than most. Two people who find mystery and intrigue for one another in a town where nothing good ever happens. Could this initial interest lead to something more, something neither of them were expecting? Something to help tame the demons and the ghost that chase them constantly? Or will everything they're running from finally catch up to them and destroy everything they hold dear, including each other? ♕♡︎♔ {Thomas Shelby x fem!
