Peakyblinders Stories

Thomas Shelby based One Shots

Matilda Preston is the picture of 1919 high-society perfection. As the wife of Inspector Campbell's ruthlessly ambitious right-hand man, she wears expensive dresses, pours tea into porcelain cups, and hides her husband's bruises beneath high-collared lace. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he brought her back to Birmingham. Before the riches, she was Tilly Walsh-a wild, barefoot girl who ran the muddy alleyways of Watery Lane. And John Shelby has never forgotten her. Now, caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the police and the Peaky Blinders, Tilly is playing a deadly game. By day, she is the perfect copper's wife. By night, she is risking the hangman's noose for stolen moments in the shadows with a razor-wielding gangster who is more than willing to burn the city down to set her free. Julian promised her safety. John promised her ruin. Only one of them was telling the truth.

"I know you are a man who has lost a great deal, Mr. Shelby. And I know that fear is the only language you think Birmingham speaks. But I have spent ten years with the Sisters; your shadows don't frighten me nearly as much as the thought of a child going without a coat tomorrow." She is a woman of cloth and conviction. He is a man of lead and whiskey. Mabel is the lead teacher at the Grace Shelby Institute, a place built on the sins of the Shelby family. She isn't under any illusions about who pays her wages; she's seen the blood on the notes. But while the rest of Small Heath trembles at the click of iron-shod heels in the night, Mabel simply keeps her needle moving. When Thomas Shelby wanders into her classroom at two in the morning, he's looking for the silence his own mind refuses to give him. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to be his victim or his devotee. To Tommy, she is a sanctuary he doesn't deserve. To Mabel, he is a soul that no amount of prayer can fix-but that doesn't mean she won't try. A story of faith, fire, and the mending of a man who thought he was beyond repair.

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

He married her to settle her father's debts he had for the Peaky Blinders. It was a form of a contract. But he actually just wanted her safe. She was a scared of his life and deals young woman, always behaving like a proper lady she was. Soft-spoken, overly-polite, a sweet, little wife. She couldn't hide anything. Right?

Aurora Garcia had spent three years working the frontlines of the Great War as a battlefield nurse, healing the injured. When the war came to an end, she found herself back in Birmingham continuing her work as a nurse. In such an occupation, she hadn't expected to capture the eye of the leader of the Peaky Blinders, and expected even least for him to offer her a job.

Based in 1919, 25 year old Danielle Virtue has just moved to Birmingham. A wartime nurse, Danielle has just returned to England from France in the aftermath of World War One. Hoping for a fresh start in a new city, Danielle struggles to make ends meet and provide money for her mother and younger siblings. That is until Thomas Shelby, a mysterious and ambitious man, makes Danielle an offer - one that will take care of all her problems. In return, Danielle must be willing to enter a private arrangement with the Birmingham Gangster: companionship and intimacy, in exchange for security and money. Will Danielle accept Tommy's deal? And what are Tommy's true motivations for pursuing Danielle? Is it merely lust and loneliness, or does the notorious gangster have feelings for Danielle that extend beyond the signed contract? A compelling story of love, lust, and suspense, this story is based around the plot of Peaky Blinders. All characters, excluding Danielle are not my own.

PLEASE RESPECT THIS AUTHORS WISHES AND DO NOT READ ON. THIS CONTENT CONTAINS VIOLENCE, SEXUAL CONTENT, DISTURBING SCENES, AND MATURE THEMES SUITABLE TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES. I hope you enjoy.

"That family is like a drug. They make you feel good at first but in the end they'll be the death of ya." A Peaky Blinders/ Micheal Gray story

Valarie Solomons is a shy girl who keeps herself to herself. She's never really spoken to a boy before until one day in Birmingham when a meeting in a bookshop changes it all.

Lillian was the girl Polly Gray raised. Michael was the son she lost. For seven years, Lillian was a Shelby, the living embodiment of a promise made to her dead mother. Then Michael Gray came home, and suddenly she was just the substitute. She was supposed to hate him for stealing her place. He was supposed to resent her for living the life that should have been his. But in the smoke-filled rooms and stolen glances, they found something else: something dangerous and utterly consuming. .......... His gaze was heavy. "Don't look at me like that, Lilly," he warned, his voice a low rumble that did traitorous things to her insides. "As if you're not looking at me the same way."

Shirley was adas best friend since school. She had grown up around the peaky boys, always hearing stories of their brutality but choosing to ignore them. it was only after shirley started to work for the peaky blinders herself did she realise she was no better than them.

"I know it's hard, dear, but the sun will always rise again in the morning."

17 year old Billie is the sister of the most dangerous gangsters in Birmingham. Following in her brothers footsteps:ignorant,rebellious,uncontrollable and angry. With Tommy's mind and Arthur's temper, her family struggle to keep her under control. (I haven't followed the series order)

"There wasn't a single second that passed that I wasn't thinking about you." [mature themes throughout]

"I didn't think the Devil walked among us until I met you." [mature themes throughout]

Kol Shelby. That name gives it all away doesn't it. Now what if I told you he was the youngest Shelby, being only 15 years old. For his age he's been through a lot of crap. What happens further into the life of Kol. (These characters do not belong to me. They're owned by their original creators :))

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.

don't look around cause love is blind and darling right now I can't see you michael gray x fem! oc peaky blinders
