Shelby Stories

"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.

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.

Tommy Shelby, notorious Birmingham gangster is thrust to his knees and sent to hospital with a serious head injury. Even at his weakest moments he find allies in the most unusual moments. Olivia Heart is full of courage and honesty as she nurses Tommy Shelby back to life all while she's sucked in to his world of razor blades and ultimatums

"He wasn't always this cold. The war had turned him into a shell of his old self. He's got demons hiding behind that foot thick wall of strength, just hoping to keep a brave face on and his emotions at bay."

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. Francesca was often reckless and lacked the awareness one needed for the streets they lived in. She was her mother's daug

In a world of guns and soot, Arabella Thorne was born into a world that she didn't belong to. Still, she found her place in the shadow of the Shelby empire - especially after catching the eye of the man who runs it. Being the sister of Freddie Thorne meant she had to fight battles that weren't her own, but rather inherited. While she didn't fight in the war but instead volunteered as a front line nurse, Arabella knew how to win the battles. It was incredibly easy when Tommy Shelby was willing to move a mountain in her name despite swearing her name wasn't worth more than gold to him.

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.

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 was the bane of Tommy Shelby's existance. He loved her, of course. He'd be mad not to. She was his daughter after all. Born in 1906, Vera became the daughter of a seventeen-year-old Tommy Shelby. At first he didn't know what to do with her. He'd hold her at a distance as if she held some sort of disease. He had been one of the many stupid boys to find themselves spending their evening with a Watery Lane prostitute. It was nothing out of the ordinary, no. All of the men seemed to do it. Tommy just happened to be the one to get one of them pregnant. . . At least that was the story that he told his daughter. "Silly little gypsy girl from Watery Lane"
