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.

The Sweetest of Hearts.1| T.S by PeakyB003

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.

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!

Charity demands a price, and to pay it, she stitches up the wounded on Alfie Solomons' payroll, balancing the razor edge of salvation and damnation. Her dealings with Alfie Solomons inevitably drag her into the orbit of Thomas Shelby, Birmingham's very own devil, who is relentlessly expanding his empire in the fallout of Grace Burgess' betrayal.

PAINTING IT ALL RED || tommy shelby x reader by lightyaers

PAINTING IT ALL RED: PART ONE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL: PART TWO "This may not be the promised land, but I assure you I am capable of pouring beer into glasses." "If this isn't the promised land, why would you come here?" He spoke. You laid your eyes on the back of his head. "No one ever went to the promised land to be a barmaid, Mr. Shelby." After leaving your suffocating home, with only your paints and the clothes on your back, and hopping on a train to Birmingham, the last thing you expected was to be working for Thomas fucking Shelby. You also didn't expect to be breaking the law for him, but working for the Shelby Brothers was never going to be simple...

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.

Little Shelby Girl by flowerboomer2020

This story is about the youngest member of the Shelby family, Vive. Together with her brothers she grows up under the smoke of Small Heath. Surrounded with danger and death, it's not easy being little. Luckily, Vive has her older brothers and especially Tommy, who fills in some kind of father role for her. During war her brothers had to go through a lot. Little did they know, life wasn't all sunshine and roses for Vive either. After a tragic accident, the Shelby family seems to fall apart and Vive's life is turned upside down. Will love keep the Peaky Blinders together? Before you start reading, keep in mind: *English is not my native language* , but I'm sure you'll understand ;)

The Gift- Complete by 1008Shelby

Arthur Shelby has 0 to very little experience with children. Sure he entertains his nieces and nephews but it's not quite the same as being a father. He doesn't need to take responsibility for them and he can give them as much alcohol as he pleases So when he visits an orphanage in America due to Tommy's orders, he is shocked to find himself bringing home two teenagers. He doesn't know how it happened or what made him do it, but by God was it the best decision he had made Does not follow plot of Peaky Blinders. I don't own the characters except Lydia, Mason and a few extras Warning: Suicide Abuse Rape
