As she navigates this perilous world, her interactions with Thomas grow more complex, and a subtle bond begins to form between them. But when an opportunity to return to the future presents itself-one that may require a dark and morally difficult choice-Y/N must decide whether to risk everything for the chance of going home, or stay in the past and face the dangerous world she now inhabits, where her choices could change everything, including her heart.
Through the Smoke and Steel is a tale of survival, love, and moral conflict, where time, loyalty, and destiny collide.

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

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

Eleanor Whitmore came to Small Heath to escape the war-the memories, the screams, the blood she couldn't wash from her hands. She wanted quiet. She wanted to disappear. But then she caught the attention of the Shelby brothers. Thomas Shelby-calculated, cold, untouchable-found himself softening in ways he never thought possible. And John Shelby-the charming, reckless one-couldn't understand why the girl felt so familiar, or why he couldn't stay away. Two brothers. One woman. And as their lives began to unravel, Eleanor realized too late the chaos her presence had brought. She never meant to come between them. So she ran. But leaving the Shelbys was never going to be simple-not when she was the first and only thing that ever made Thomas feel... and John break.
