In the deceptive peace of post-war England in 1919, Nera Shelby lives between two worlds. As a member of the infamous Shelby family, she is inseparably bound to a life shaped by power, secrets, and violence. Yet Nera herself longs for something different: for quiet, for normalcy - for a life not constantly lived in the shadow of fear and loyalty. She loves art and beauty in a world marked by dirt and blood. She finds comfort among horses, in their calm and honesty, far removed from the intrigues that surround her family. With her attentive, warm nature, Nera tries to preserve humanity even where there seems to be little room left for it. As political tensions, government interference, and criminal power struggles increasingly destabilize the Shelbys' world, Nera is drawn deeper into a conflict she never sought. Caught between family and self-determination, duty and freedom, truth and silence, she must find her own path. In a world built on secrets, even the desire for normality can become dangerous. And sometimes, gentleness is the greatest form of resistance. ༺═───────────────────═༻ 1 - #shelbyfamily 1- #pb 1 - #bbc 1 - #1920s

𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟎𝐬 was ruled by the Shelby family - or more so their gang. The Peaky Blinders were the infamous gang who earned their respect through the fear of the people. With the blades sewn into their flat caps and the weapons tucked into their jackets, people bowed their heads when passing them in the streets. You were considered lucky to have not had a run in with any of the three elder Shelby brothers. Arthur was the eldest. He was known for his fighting. You would often find him in the ring against somebody who was not his size. He went mad during the war and his return was nothing hit a relief for his mind. But when thinking he had finally escaped the war, one had started in his head. Arthur Shelby was his own enemy. Thomas was the second eldest - the most feared. He had a head for business and more common sense than his older brother. He had icy eyes which very rarely softened at the sight of anything. He was known for his trait of being unmerciful and careless. Despite being the second eldest, he was the brother who held the power. The brother who controlled the rest of them. John was the youngest of the three and arguably the softest. With his wonky smile and cheeky remarks, many of the girls in Small Heath found themselves falling at his feet. He would often find himself in trouble for acting childish. He didn't care too much for the business of the gang. He cared for the respect it brought their name. He enjoyed the thrill. And then you had John's twin sister - Francesca. Known for being one of the only Shelby siblings who seemed to laugh at Thomas. Her sister, Ada, being exactly the same. Francesca found that her brothers were ridiculous - too big for their boots as she'd say. Though she liked to use their name to get herself out of trouble.
