A Peaky Blinders Story

1919. The war is over-but some battles never end.

Catherine Guthrie arrives in Birmingham with nothing but a battered suitcase and the ghosts of men she couldn't save. A former field nurse from Bristol, she's traded blood-soaked bandages for smoke-stained streets, desperate to leave the war-and the woman it made her-behind. But the city has other plans.

When a chance encounter entangles her with Freddie Thorne and his sharp-eyed lover, Ada Shelby, Catherine is pulled into the orbit of the most dangerous family in Small Heath. Behind the haze of whisky and gunpowder, Tommy Shelby waits-calculated, cold, and impossible to look away from.

Tommy sees through Catherine's practised calm. Catherine sees the fractures behind his control. Both are tired of bleeding, and neither knows how to stop.

As rivalries rise and secrets close in, Catherine must decide whether healing is a thing of the past or whether some embers, no matter how buried, were meant to burn.All Rights Reserved

Tommy Shelby ~ Between the Walls and the Whiskey by tearsinrain_33

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.

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 assault

"I have heard many rumours about you, Mr Shelby." "Anything of interest?" "I could write a whole book about you, Mr Shelby." The smog ridden city had many secrets and Katherine Williams had a way of finding out every single one of them. Before the war, Kat was known simply as a busybody. But then the war came and then it left, forcing the men to return home different people. And when the men changed and so did the woman with little choice. Kat was no different to any other woman in Small Heath, she wasn't the same woman she was before the war. No, she was a force to be reckoned with. She knew things that could bring anyone to their knees and she revelled in that fact. But not even she was immune to the fear and terror the Peaky Blinders brought with them and nor was she immune to the icy blue eyes of the leader of the infamous gang.
