Alice Shepherd had always been an interest to the Shelby brothers, ever since they were all kids. Especially John.

They grew up on the same estate, with the same traditions and same rules - but she was never the same as them, or as anyone else. From the angry scars covering her body to the mess inside her head - no one quite understood her.

So when she manages to escape her arranged marriage and return to Small Heath after years of being supposedly 'dead or missing' things quickly get chaotic again.

Gun metal and Daisies (Thomas Shelby) by wordless-writing
50 parts Complete
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.

The Sweetest of Hearts.1| T.S by PeakyB003
51 parts Complete Mature
Book 1 - Complete Book 2 - Ongoing If anyone in Birmingham had asked Polly Gray when the ice around Thomas Shelby's heart had started to melt, she'd say it was the day Maude Felton came to town, looking for her brothers. She'd tell them he became a human being once again, the second his eyes landed on the dark-haired girl. He smiled, and he laughed, he was kind and sweet. By no means had he become a kind human being. He was still cold, he still swore out everyone around him, cut and shot men without batting an eye. No, Thomas Shelby had not simply become a kind human being. But he was kind...to her. He treated Maude Felton with such softness, kindness, and gentleness, that Polly Gray had never seen before. He looked at the blue-eyed girl like she hung the moon and stars. And she looked at him the same way, because she knew, all she had to do was ask, and Tommy would. There was no limit to what he'd do for her. She has single-handedly fixed his heart, and he'd forever be thankful for that. She loved and cherished Tommy despite the things he did, and for that, he'd keep her in his heart forever. He'd protect her like his life depended on it. Because his life did depend on Maude. Because without Maude Felton, there'd be no Thomas Shelby.
