Timid, temperamental, and treacherously lustful- all words that could be used to describe Shay Lawson, depending on who you'd ask.
The truth?
Perhaps none of those words were accurate, or perhaps she was a perfect mix of all of them, traits swirling around inside her head to create a monstrosity rather than a girl.
Shay Lawson always felt that the worst part of being perceived was the constant whispers being uttered behind her back, the rumours fanned and the uncouth assumptions persisting. However, since working at PTMC, she has discovered that in actuality, the worst part of being perceived by everyone so vividly is just how much it disables one from perceiving oneself.
It wasn't until Dr Jack Abbot practically dragged her, kicking and screaming, into his world that she started to wonder if every nasty rumour and terrible accusation was perhaps...false? Maybe she wasn't a monstrosity, maybe she was just a girl.
And maybe what all young girls need is a firm, calloused hand to guide them in the right direction.

Elephants Of Birmingham
1922 ∆ A dead business partner brings back an old rival and to save himself from death on the gallows, Tommy must find an escaped duchess. The arbitrariness of the world brings him out of his bitterness and forces him to make decisions away from business. In addition, disturbing turmoil reigns around the Peaky Blinders empire, caused by the well-known gang of thieves 'the forty elephants'. × In this story, Tommy's trauma from the war and the many lives he had to take is intensely discussed.

We follow Tommy through the years until we get to the point where our story begins, because I don't want to write along the series. Get ready to follow Tommy through a new adventure. Maybe he'll find peace in the end? × |Tommy Shelby × OC/Diana Diamond |

Baz's little sister is in love with Pope, Pope is in love with someone who he should see as blood. He thanks whoever or whatever thats listening that they aren't. Everyone knows, especially when he gets out of prison and finds out a secret everyone's been hiding from him. i suck at descriptions, honestly I do😂 if you want to read it, please do so but I ask: no silent readers, it really doesn't help with a creative head space. if you do read, you know what Animal Kingdom is basically a trigger warning of its own but I'll give some .
