The Rose of Birmingham | ᴘᴇᴀᴋʏ ʙʟɪɴᴅᴇʀꜱ
"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 }Complete
Midsummer Night's Deal - Thomas Shelby x OFC - Peaky Blinders

Well... ...on the outside, at least.Complete

Tommy Shelby ~ Between the Walls and the Whiskey
Cecilia Clark didn't cross the ocean for trouble and certainly not for love, yet both welcome her to Small Heath Birmingham through the cold blue gaze of Thomas Shelby. When the bar maid proves to be much more than an extra set of hands, Tommy learns the true meaning of love with a broken heart. In honor of this final season, I decided to post the very first fic I ever wrote, all the way back in 2015! Thats how inspired I was by those brilliant blue eyes and that beautifully sad man who still could scare everyone in the room. Thanks for absolutely crushing our hearts while being the baddest boy on the block Mr. Shelby, I can't wait to see how you'll devastate us in season 6. (no spoilers please!) Warnings: 18+ M/f, VERY explicit sexual content throughout, threats of violence, attempted rape, blood/violence, language, heavy drinking/smoking, period typical views of race, period typical views of assaultComplete
