FOR THE ONE WHO STAYED ─ A peaky blinders fanfiction

━ IN WHICH, Elizabeth Shelby has to come to terms with the fact that sharing a name does not necessarily mean family. 
━ AND IN WHICH, a father and daughter must learn how to find each other again after a traumatic war.

Effy Shelby was somewhat of a firecracker. At least that's what her aunt Polly always called her. 
With raven-black hair, a freckle-covered face, and an unmatched personality, she's unstoppable with the name; Shelby. Being the daughter of the most feared gangster in Birmingham is not as easy as some would think so.
 
― And being one hell of a reckless girl is an especially rough way down the road...All Rights Reserved

Like a Horse Made of Air by Ephemeral_Is

Wren Ashby, raised in the shadow of her rebellious older sister, is a good girl. She does as she's told and gives nobody any trouble, polite to a fault. She believes her father when he tells her that if she's good he'll find her a good man to love and take care of her. Then the day comes her sister tells her that their father has chosen a waste of a man for her husband. Wren finds herself no longer so keen to obey and, once she tastes freedom, she won't be stopped.

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.

Her fears soon catch up with her when she is thrown into the lives of the Shelby family against her will. Bella is left with a difficult choice to make: help Thomas Shelby with his nefarious business and face the consequences or ignore his demands at the price of possible harm to her family.

The Balls in Our Courts [F.SxO.CxT.S] by galaxyofnowhere

"You see, Amelia," Tommy Shelby asserted, his form resting against the desk, a cigarette poised between his index and thumb. "Under this roof, everything is mine... including you. It's been that way, and it always will be." Amelia swallowed hard, her fists tightening. "You've profited off me for years, yet you've offered nothing in return!" "I've given you all that you deserved, Amelia," Tommy replied, coolly. At 15, Amelia Clarke officially exhausted her parents attempts at creating a perfect daughter, and so they shipped her off to England in hopes an old business partner could whip her into shape. Where others saw a nuisance, Tommy saw an opportunity to add to his growing assets. Bad at manners, but exceptional at tennis, Amelia became one of Tommy Shelby's biggest financial gains, and he would do anything to protect it. *Main Character starts at 15, but she gets older.
