FIRE & ICE I
This definitely isn't your or my typical Thomas Shelby Fanfic. This is a story in which Tommy needs to take reign or care of the female protagonist - Jade Verga. This is a story of needing and not just about romance and kisses. Which is something we all crave at the end of the day. It's a stripped down story, one that is raw with truth and angst. That selfish need is a sense of belonging at the end of the day. It's needless to say, this story means a whole lot to me.Complete
