#Tommy x Reader/ Polly x reader # Peaky Blinders fanfic Thomas Shelbyx reader
@fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby​ @bablette
Always on the back burner of your mind and buried in the deepest chambers of your heart.
A secret you kept to yourself but known by your closest and only friend, Polly! 
He's still there, the reason you’re heartbeats, Tommy. He is clueless about your wanting of him.  
He was married, you moved as far away from Small Heath as your money could take you - Unfortunately for you, it wasn't far enough, London!
You still got letters from Polly from time to time, to keep you informed of what was happening with her family, including Tommy. 
Every line of his life broke you into tiny pieces, knowing he's happy without you. But you were glad for him. 
        Years pass~
Then, out of the blue, you got a call from Polly! 
She informed you that Grace had died. You were shocked and heartbroken for the man you left behind. She also told you about Lizzy and Ruby! 
Again, heartbroken by you’re lost chances! 
Polly, your best friend, was sad for you, knowing the abyss your heart has fallen into!
You decided you needed your friend, more than ever, a shoulder to cry on! So, You planned a trip to visit Polly. You gave her your travel plans she made arrangements for your ride there. She said she would send someone to get you from the train station! 
         The Shelby house was all a buzz about your visit. Polly is in the kitchen planning a dinner party for your arrival!  The brothers were happy for Polly that her friend was coming to visit her. It's been ages! She was very excited, so were you! 
You had no expectations of any kind whatsoever where Tommy was concerned. He's a married man with children. You’re no home wrecker!
           You arrived approximately 4 hours later. You were surprised to see Tommy was the one to pick you up! (Polly, what were you thinking?) 
The abyss of your love for him getting deeper and deeper as he greets you with a handshake as he opens the car door for you. It was a long drive back to Small Heath, Probably made longer from the silence. You started some small talk. He's never been one for long conversations. He did mention that he needed a new maid. No other reason other than fitting it into the conversation you both were having, as small as it was. You took a mental note and moved on.              
               You arrived, Tommy opened the car door for you, ever the gentleman. (He would never admit that!) He walked me to the front door and opened it. Everyone greeted you with smiles, hugs, and saying how much they all missed you. Tommy said nothing. As per usual, it doesn't mean he didn't miss you. It doesn't suggest he did.  His silence didn't mean anything. You learned that a long time ago.               
               "I don't remember this family being so big!" you said. Polly responded, "you have been away a while. John's had three kids since you've been away!"  You were so happy to see everyone. You haven't been this happy in ages! 
           We all sat around the table and had a traditional English dinner. We talked about what was going on in our lives and laughed about the memories you shared!  You noticed Tommy being so stoic, just sitting there. You stopped to look at him. Just a glimpse is all you wanted, but what you got took your breath away! A long stare into your eyes! You tried to look elsewhere, but you couldn't move or breathe!  Until Arthur came up behind you, touched your shoulders! He woke you up from the trance you were in! You looked back at Tommy. He had the smallest hint of a smile on one side of his mouth as he took a puff from his cigarette. You guess either being startled by Arthur or knowing, now you were under his spell!                   
               "Where are you staying?" Ada asked. "I don't know. I guess I forgot to plan that!" I said with a look of embarrassment on my face! "I guess I was so excited. I forgot !”                    
                Polly said, "You're staying here, dear! As long as you want!"I was a little hesitant because I didn't know how Tommy would feel about me staying at his Aunt Pol's house! "I better find a hotel,  don't want to intrude on anyone!" "NONSENSE!" "You're staying here, that's the end of it!" Polly said with a cheeky smile! You smiled back and agreed with a nod.
The evening came quickly. You were exhausted from all the traveling and the excitement. Not to mention Your heart has been pounding like you ran to Small Heath from London! Every time you noticed Tommy looking in your direction, it was like you were frozen! You have been holding your feelings for him in a lockbox for ages! It might be more difficult than you thought. ‘This visit just might kill me!’  Your head is in a tug of war with you’re heart! As the night went on, it was time to say good night to everyone. With hugs, smiles, and good night kisses, you wondered, 'how would Tommy say good night?'  He came in with a hug like everyone else. He got so close to your ear you could feel his breath. With the slightest whisper that sent chills down your spine! "I missed ya!"

Requested by: @fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby
Tumblr media
Arthur, Tommy, and John walked drunkenly through the streets of Small Heath, the fog from the cold night nipping at their exposed hands as they took sips from a shared bottle of whiskey. The hours prior were a blur to them while on their rare night out away from the business. The night consisted of drinking at various pubs, Tommy and John running amuck, and Arthur getting in one-too-many fist fights. 
As they giddily walked through the doors of the betting shop, they noticed how dark and empty it was, except for a dim light coming out of Tommy’s office. When Tommy walked in, he saw Y/n sitting at his desk pouring over countless stacks of papers, a look of frustration on her face.
“Y/n? why are you here so late?” Tommy asked, taking in her tired expression as his eyesight blurred. Arthur and John stayed outside the room sitting against the mahogany walls and drinking the rest of the bottle as they listened in, knowing something was bound to go down.
“While you all were out doing god knows what and god knows who, I decided Polly and the rest of us girls would take on the paperwork you received. I figured you wouldn’t mind.” She said, taking a swig of whiskey from one of the many crystal glasses he had. Tommy sighed audibly and looked at her as she signed the company name on another page.
“Y/n that was mine to go through. Who do you think you are aye?” He said, walking over to her and tugging the pen out of her hand before she could sign another document. 
Y/n stared at her now empty hand, feeling herself grow hot with anger. She turned in her seat and stood up, looking him in the eyes. She was often the only one who could talk any sense into him.
“First of all Thomas, I’m your fucking wife. The least you could do is tell me when you’re going to be going out with your brothers. Especially when it’s for the majority of the day. You know how scary it is not knowing where you are when you constantly have people after you. Secondly, because you were too busy neglecting your business, I picked up the slack for all three of ya. We’re supposed to help each other you know. It’s a two way fucking street Thomas.” Y/n said sternly before walking over to get her coat. 
“Do you want a cap? Are you the new leader now or something? Making all these decisions without me?” Tommy asked snarkily, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it.
Y/n chuckled before walking towards him, a coldness to her eyes as she looked at her husband. 
“I might as well be with how you’ve been lately. But here I am trying to help you and the boys. I’m always helping you. But you know what? without me you’d be drowning. Drowning in papers, drowning in your thoughts, drowning in all the shit you get yourself into. Soon you’ll realize that I’m needed here, how else do you think we’ve kept the shop running recently?” She said and turning to walk out the door. Tommy stood there thinking about what she said, knowing she was right but not wanting to admit it.
She smiled before placing her hand on the doorknob, chuckling to herself. 
“What’s so funny aye? Clearly you have more to say.” He said coming closer to her.
“It’s so funny how you get so caught up in this life, forgetting who’s held you up for so long...I just want to you to remember that I’ll always have a bit of a say because I love you. I need you to realize that you may wear the cap...but I wear the crown.” She said before walking out, not bothering to kiss Tommy or say goodbye to any of them.
Tommy stood there as Arthur and John stood up sloppily from the floor, laughing as they did so.
“Damn Tommy, she really ripped you a new one. You sure she’s not taking your place?” John asked. 
“No, she’s not. Not yet” He said smirking and lighting another cigarette.
“So what are we to do Tom?” Arthur asked.
“Well boys, I hate to say it but our fun is over for now. John, you go fetch us some gin, Arthur you get the type writer ready.” He said.
“What are you going to do?” John asked, walking towards Tommy’s office.
“I’m going to pick up where she left off. We have work to do.” He said before reluctantly staring at the massive pile of paperwork on his desk.

What is something you don't like about your writing? I love your writing! But I want to know your thoughts on this. ❤️
Okay, there is a lot to unpack here. I know that I’m not the only writer that feels this way and this is not me trying to get attention in any way, but most part of the time I have problems actually liking the things I write. What bothers me the most: sometimes I think I describe too much instead of using dialogue and I just don’t know how to do it any other way. Finding the balance between dialogue and description is still tricky for me. The other thing that bothers me quite a lot is grammar and vocabulary. I’m not a native English speaker and even though I’m considered an intermediate to advanced learner, it’s still difficult for me to find the right words to say what I want some times and I’m a mess with grammar in general. I’m studying to improve, but it’s a slow process. Yeah, these are probably the things I dislike the most about my writing. There is a ton of other things that I could talk about, I’m sure, but let’s not bother you with my overthinking/insecurities. And thank you so much, it makes me really happy to know that you like my writing <3

Tommy Shelby wanting to get you pregnant would include...
Requested by anon
Gif creds to owner
Warnings: breeding kink, swearing, smut
Tumblr media
It all comes out of the blue really
Some fella had tried chatting you up at the pub, not realising whose wife you were, and that night, tommy had slammed you up against the shut bedroom door, pressing needy , sloppy kisses to your lips
You loved him like this- having him utterly desperate for you made you feel so powerful, having Tommy Shelby practically on his knees for you
Such feelings of power were very quickly demolished as he pulled you away from the door and towards the bed, pushing you down on the bed, his broad thighs on either side of you as he pinned your arms above your head
“You’re fucking mine, YN,” he grumbled, his voice harsh though not with anger.
You could tell by the stormy spark in his eyes that he was brimming with protective possessiveness, feathers clearly ruffled by the stranger’s drunken flirting.
You tease him about this (of course) rolling your eyes playfully, though he quickly shut you up by pressing open mouthed kisses to your throat, tongue tracing your pulse point before he left a small but dark mark.
The first of many
Eventually he ends up on his back, shirtless and stripped down to his underwear as you straddle him, stark naked but for the string of pearls around your neck, hanging most temptingly between your breasts
Tommy can’t resist, his hands that are resting on your waist trailing up to palm your breasts and pinch your nipples, tugging you down to mark your chest. You whine, rocking your hips and- holy fuck- he can feel your arousal on his shaft even through his underwear
“‘M yours, Tom,” you breathe, fingers curled tightly in his cropped hair. “All yours. Fill me up and prove it,”
He growls, and it’s almost primal, the sound making your innermost walls flutter with anticipation as he rolls you onto your back
“Want me to fill you up, Ay?” He groaned into your neck before squeezing your cheeks together and kissing your lips. “Want me to fill you with my cum until you’re full of my child?”
Your eyes roll back under the intensity of his gaze and you nod, desperately, trying to buck your hips up for something, anything
He nods, kissing you sweetly, before lining up with you
His thrusts are slow at first, and your eyes lock as he fucks you tenderly, gasping out and grasping onto any inch of one another
When you wrap your legs tight around his waist and rock your hips up to meet his, his slow pace goes right out the window (much to your satisfaction) and he fucks you with reckless abandon, holding you up against his chest as he pounds into you, his fingers digging bruises into your flesh
The first wave of your orgasm sends him over the edge and he stills, digging his nails into your shoulders as he pumps your womb full of his come, kissing your neck and cheek as you settle down from your highs
Over the next few weeks, you and Tommy fuck a LOT, discovering that the previous incident wasn’t just a result of tommy being jealous- you both want to at least try to start your family
Several months later, Tommy is thrilled to see his wife’s body swell with his baby, and his love of watching your pregnancy progress is very convenient, especially when your hormones kick in...

“Small thing” - Alfie Solomons x reader
A/n: So, I failed to post this on saturday but here it is! Thanks again for requesting @fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby! I changed a few things however I hope you’ll like this!
Summary: Alfie can’t help but step in when he sees that the man you were talking to was about to hit you. Then, one thing leads to another and eventually it’s your shared love for animals that’s what brings you together.
Word count: 2.2K (roughly)
TW: violence on animal, abusive behavior but fluff overall
Tag list: @mollybegger-blog, @evelynshelby, @br0ck-eddie, @of-love-and-of-the-sea, @shadow-of-wonder, @fandom--0verdose, @innerpaperexpertcloud, @sopxhiea, @fuseburner, @ashesbelle (let me know if you wanna be added or removed)
Tumblr media
(this beautiful piece of art was made by @fortunetellingnonesense. she has other amazing art so go check her out!)
“Hey, stop! What the hell are you doing?!" Your voice resounded in the streets, its echo jumping through the buildings amplified. You weren't one to shout, nor did you get into fights easily. But if there was one thing you hated, it was bullying. Especially when those pieces of shit always picked on people half their size or age. It wasn't fair and showed how insignificant they were. However true that might be, the cuts and bruises that their kicks and fists would leave on them weren't insignificant. Especially compared to a smaller body such as the one of this little kitty that piece of shit on the other side of the road had decided to kick. 
Unfortunately, it had taken the small kitten cries for you to notice what was happening. But now that you had, you couldn't turn a blind eye to it. Not even if you weren't a strong muscular person and there was no one in the streets could give you a hand. Given the hour, the street was deserted.
"This little shit has decided to pee all over my doorstep. That’ll show him." Not happy with the kick that had probably broken the kitten's ribs, the bloke spat on its trembling body and was about to keep going. 
"Don't you see that it's a little kitten? They don't even know what a doorstep is." You pointed out incredulously but wasn't it obvious? 
"You almost killed him", you added to show that it was totally unnecessary and simply a dick move. 
"I don't fucking care. He peed on my doorstep and I taught him a lesson." His voice became even harsher as he bragged what he thought was a grand gesture. But really, he only proved your point further.
"You're a piece of shit." Simply put.
"Oi, lady, I don't know who the hell you think you are but ain't no one gonna talk to me like that." You could see that he trying to make himself look bigger and threatening but you didn’t expect anything less from him and were set on not let him win.
"If only you cared about yourself just half as much as you cared for others than I wouldn't have to point out the obvious." Dismissing him, you turned towards the poor kitten that was pathetically laying on the floor. Their breath was uneven and you could tell they were having trouble doing so. 
Your words must have confused the man, who apparently wasn't accustomed to a more complex way of speaking. You hadn't apologized but he wasn't sure that you had offended him either. By your tone though, he figured out that it must have been the second. And of course, his ego was bruised. 
"Right, you sl*t, it seems that you need to be taught a lesson too." Too busy cooing over the small thing, his words didn't even register. It was probably going to be too late once they did but luckily for you, a guardian angel interceded for you. 
"It ain't very manly to hit a woman, mate, right." A loud husky voice spoke behind you and you looked up, cradling the kitten to your chest, ready to make a run for it if it came to it. A tall figure of a man leaning on his cane with a big hat that cast a shadow over his face was the newcomer. You had never seen this man before but one look at him was all it took to understand that you did not mess with him. If you didn't want to end up bloodied and broken, that is. 
The bully was about to shoot a retort but the burly man spoke again before he could, "Just like hitting small animals. What fucking beast would do that, hm." And then he spoke no more, only stared at the guy. You found amusing how big and mighty the guy was trying to be just a moment early when it had been only you, and how scared and spineless he was being now, under the stranger's unwavering stare. 
It only took a minute, maybe even less, for him to lower his head and retreat. 
"That's right, no more lesson teaching for you, bastard." You snickered, mocking him. When the man in question turned to send a death stare your way, you shivered and moved behind the stranger's back, just to be sure. 
"Keep on going, mate." The stranger said fully ridding you of that menace finally. 
"Asshole", you muttered under your breath as the man disappeared into his house. You must have been louder than you thought because that prompted the stranger to look at you. 
"What are you doing, lass, getting head to head with a guy bigger than you, eh. Got a death wish?" As you were standing close to him now, you were able to see his face clearly since he was looking down at you for the height difference. What a lovely face. A guardian angel had sent him for sure because there was no way that such a handsome and kind man would stumble into your life by coincidence.
"Look, he almost killed this kitten and was definitely going to if I hadn't stopped him." You didn’t move to put some space between you. His eyes were too mesmerizing to look anywhere but at them and the way his lips trembled before forming a small smirk, was too endearing to miss.
 The stranger’s name turned out to be Alfie, but that wasn't the only thing you ended up knowing about him. He was a fellow animal lover and the human of a sweet bullmastiff. He had a trusted vet and offered to take you to him. On the way, you got to know each other. Albeit, he did all the talking, only stopping to let you answer the many questions he asked you, it wasn't annoying as it may sound. His rumbling was… comforting, in a way. It gave your mind no room to think back about what happened or worry about what could have happened if Alfie hadn't shown up. It only allowed you to lightly caress the kitten's fur and hum now and then to what he was saying. 
———————————————————————————
And after months of knowing him, you could vouch that it was. 
He was an interesting fellow, this Alfie. Such a scaring looking guy, all burly and dishevelled. His cane angrily stomped the ground, his boisterous voice and confident stride successful kept away any wandering eye and unwanted attention despite how difficult it was to not notice them walking down the street.  Of course, since you had just met him, you couldn't know that this happened mainly because of his reputation. And you would have never guessed either because despite his rough exterior, there was an underlying tenderness in the way Alfie looked at the small thing in your arms and how quickly and unprompted he had offered to help. It was the recipe for a sweetheart, wasn't it? 
"Right, I reckon we should get him some help, don't we?" Alfie couldn’t help but find you amusing and was more than willing to spend a little more of his time with you. His day had been uneventful up until now. Besides, the small thing in your arms did need help.
After the kitten was entrusted to the vet's care and eventually saved, Alfie, moved by your love for animals, had asked you to take care of his boy, Cyril. Of course, you happily took the job. Yes, the money was good and certainly helped but you mainly agreed because of him. As naive as it sounds, Alfie had made a really good impression on you that day and always had been the portrait of the perfect gentleman around you. 
He would welcome you in and offer a cup of tea when you’d get to his home in the morning and another one when he'd come home in the afternoon before you'd leave. And whenever he needed to stay at the bakery until late at night, he'd phone and tell you either offering to have someone walk you home or when you'd refused to leave Cyril alone - that was your job after all- he had given you one of the spare rooms for you to crash in and get some sleep, always with the promise of a raise for the inconvenience. 
You were titubant at first, yes Alfie had always been nice to you but was it enough to trust him? Eventually, you caved and stayed the night. The door of your room locked and a route for a quick escape already in mind. You'd soon find out that you wouldn't need it though. Alfie had come home a little past midnight and despite the late hour, he didn't go to bed straight away. Instead, you heard some noises coming from the living room. 
Curiosity got the best of you and you ventured downstairs. You had cooked a small dinner and left some for him in the oven. Alfie however, hadn't even noticed. The concept of a cooked meal was new and far away from him, his nightly routine mainly consisted of whiskey and the papers he'd brought from the office. 
Coming home to someone was also something out of the ordinary for Alfie, so when your silhouette appeared in the doorway he thought he was hallucinating. The whiskey made him a little slow but his mind still worked quickly enough that you didn't notice his moment of disorientation. 
That night turned out to be an interesting one for both of you. Looking back to it, it was also a kind of turning point in your relationship. Whiskey proved to be something that made Alfie even more prone to speaking and since the night is young, you two talked a lot, and you inevitably ended up feeling closer to him. 
After that night, Alfie made sure to come home a bit earlier so that you could talk a bit before you had to head home. And you ended up spending more nights at Alfie's too. 
Today was one of those days when Alfie said he would come home in time for tea. So, as usual, you had got everything ready, the cookies you had just taken out of the oven were nicely arranged on a plate beside the two steaming cups of tea. 
———————————————————————————
"We are restless today, aren't we? But we just came back from our afternoon walk, so what can I do for you, eh?" You were sure you sounded utterly ridiculous, using a baby voice with him but you loved doing so whenever you talked to him. And you’d swear that he could understand you. 
"A-ha, these are not for you sweet boy," you tutted at Cyril when he tried to help himself to the food.
It felt like a crescendo, your relationship getting out of the acquaintances’ stage and entering something blurry that you still couldn't figure out. All you knew was that it was warm and it felt a lot like home.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you some cuddles." Yeah, maybe you were a little soft on him but how could anyone be anything but when he looked so cute laying on his back with his little paws in the air?  
Exactly. 
The sound of the door closing caught your attention and you got up from the ground and walked in the hallway to meet Alfie who was taking his hat off. 
"Welcome back, Alfie. How was your day?" Walking to him, you helped him take his coat off. After hanging it on the coat rack, you turn back around to listen to his answer. You expected him to have moved away instead you found your faces extremely close after you had turned around. 
A gasp left your lips when your noses brushed whereas Alfie appeared unaffected. His eyes flickered between yours, his moustache tickled your upper lip as he spoke, "it's about to get a lot better, it seems pet. What do ya think?" He whispered on your mouth, referring to your previous question. 
The kiss was slow at first, your lips were cautious of each other, tentative and shy. Then Alfie’s hand reached the back of your head and it was like a flip had been switched. Only a  brief pause to get some air, your forehead touching, before your lips reconnected. This time with far more hunger, like you had been waiting for this moment. And in fact, you had been. 
"Look who's decided to join, cheeky bastard", Alfie commented, amused at his dog who was now panting on his leg. Cyril barked as if he had understood his human and you couldn't help but laugh. This dog was something else. 
Your hands trailed on his shoulders up to his neck while the kiss grew more desperate and Alfie pushed you to the wall behind the coat hanger. His hands began wandering trailing down on your body and his mouth was about to follow when something humid and wet interrupted them. 
Your eyes bore into his then flickered to his mouth, so close to yours, before you answered him. "I wholeheartedly agree." And that was all he needed to hear before his mouth was on yours. A shot of electricity ran through you when he did.
"I'm sorry mate, but this is a dance for two," Alfie gave him a loving pat on his head, "now where were we?" he turned back to you before connecting your mouths again.

Hello you creative human you! I was wondering if I request some good old tommy angst with him finding out his daughter has lost her virginity? Could do with reading some drammmma while I’m working from home😂💕
His Daisy - Tommy Shelby
Warnings: usual stuff, you know (swearing, mentions of killing and sex)
Word count: 1.2 k
A/N: Hello my cutie!I couldn’t use angst, I’m so sorry, but it’s cute cute cute and has a lil drama so you don’t get bored. How’s your work doing, everything fine? i hope zoom calls are not drowning you!
As for why i didn’t use angst: i don’t believe Tommy is a slut shamer, and neither should we. Yes, my feminism got in the way, but i wasn’t comfortable. Sorry! Hope you enjoy it anyway <3
Ps: i’m not saying you are a slut shamer, nor that you think tommy is one, haha xoxo
Tumblr media
Six in the morning was marked on the clock, which sounded in time with Tommy's footsteps.
“Tom,” his wife began, “you're going to dig a hole. And I don't think you want to be in a tunnel again. "
As he finished his millionth cigarette of the night, he collapsed into one of the black chairs in the living room.
"I swear...” he spoke, slowly and furiously “that as soon as she walks through that door, I will drag her to the car and I’ll take her to a house of fuckin’ nuns, Y/N. I swear to fuckin’ god."
His wife sighed and pursed her lips in disgust.
It was not the first time that Daisy had escaped during the night. Y/N and Thomas knew perfectly well, but she always came back at three in the morning.
Tommy changed position every two seconds; he was uncomfortable, angry, nervous and scared. Y/N did not remove her fingernails from her lips, nor did she stop fearing the worst.
They spent ten minutes in silence, in their pajamas and in the middle of the room. The house that had ten rooms seemed even smaller than the tunnels of France that still lived in Tommy. And with every minute that passed, the house got smaller and smaller, and the knot in both throats grew and tightened more and more.
After five more minutes, footsteps and quiet laughter were heard in the front yard. Tommy separated his palms from his eyes and looked at his wife in relief. His face was deformed just after hearing the voice of a boy, which accompanied his daughter's voice. Like a shooting star, Tommy bolted for the door to give his daughter a warm and agitated welcome.
"Daisy, you are going to kill your father." Y/N sighed, getting up from the chair, while listening to how the laughter stopped.
"Dad…” said Daisy, seeing the man in pajamas.
"Indoors. Now."
Tommy's voice erased all happiness from the night before. She turned to dismiss the boy, but her father's rough tug interrupted her, forcing her inside.
"Dad!" she yelled complaining, but the slam of the door made her scream inaudible.
"Daisy, where were you?" Y/N asked, stepping to one side of Tommy.
"It doesn't matter..." she said, trying to free herself from Tom's grip.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" he asked, walking into the living room with her daughter's arm in her hand. He sat Daisy on the chair in which he was the last fifteen minutes “You're going to sit in that damn chair, until I feel like. Or until you tell us where the fuck you were! "
"I'm sleepy, we'll talk later."
Daisy tried to get up, but her father's scream commanding her to sit scared her, sending her back to the black single chair.
"Mommy, you know where I've been..." Daisy started.
Thomas's expressionless face scared Daisy even more. The anger showed in his eyes, always.
"Save the stories, young lady. Tell us where the hell you have been because today I am sending you to live with nuns. "
"Yeah, of course."
“Daisy, we haven't slept in five hours. Please just tell us where you were." Y/N sighed, hugging herself. It was a cold morning.
"I was with Adam." she said, sighing heavily.
"Who the fuck is Adam, Daisy?" Thomas asked, keeping his tone.
Daisy looked at Y/N.
Shit.
Adam.
Y/N had forgotten to talk to Tom.
"Daisy, go to your room." Y/N spoke. She had promised her daughter that she would explain to her father.
"Y/N..." began Thomas.
"Now." she sentenced, heading to her husband's study.
"Y/N!" he yelled, following her. He turned in his footsteps and ordered Daisy to stay right there because otherwise the boy would become history thanks to the Peaky Blinders.
With the second door slamming in the morning, Thomas Shelby and his wife locked themselves in his study, demanding an explanation.
“Tell me where the fuck was Daisy, Y/N.” he demanded, while serving himself a glass of scotch.
“If Tommy Shelby doesn’t drink his scotch at crazy hours it’ll evaporate.” She said in a whisper.
“I will drink whatever the fuck I want, at whatever hour I fuckin’ like, Y/N!” he defended himself angrily. He finished his glass in a second, to sit shortly after in a chair, near to where his wife was standing.
“Now, tell me where Daisy was. Because apparently, you knew the whole bloody night, and didn’t bother to tell me.”
His calm tone always exasperated the woman, he had that voice every single time, every day.
“Yeah, of course. I’m an idiot. I made you spend five hours awake, because I knew where she was and just wanted to make fun of you. You are right.” She argued sarcastically.
Tommy took his glasses of, dropped them in the table by his chair an touched his nose bridge. If there was anything he hated more than war, was sarcasm.
When she seated on the black chair next to her husband’s, she took his hand in hers.
“Tommy, look at me.”
When she saw his eyes, she traveled twenty years back in time. His concerned look was the same look he had when Daisy was born. She smiled slightly, he looked as beautiful as ever. His mood never mattered, sad, angry or happy. He was always the most handsome man she ever lied eyes on. Well, when he had that playful smile on his face, he was charming.
“I didn’t know where she was, Tom. I did not. But I now know.”
“Does she have a…?” he whispered.
His mouth could hide his smiles, his eyebrows could hide his frowns, but his eyes could never hide happiness or if he was worried. It was as if they changed, there was something that changed.
“Boyfriend?” she helped him, he nodded “yeah, kind of.” Y/N smiled, Tommy did too.
“Did they…you know?”
Thomas Shelby could say the alphabet of bad words. He knew them all. He knew a few in other languages, too. He had no shame in saying them everywhere and to anyone. He could also be very abrasive with his words, but with Daisy. With Daisy, he never said a bad word. Not until she turned sixteen. He got used to say “muffin” and “puppy” in front of her. Arthur once made fun out of him, but his gaze shut him up, forever. So, the fact that he wasn’t saying the word “sex” didn’t shook Y/N at all.
“I think so.” His wife smiled, looking into his eyes while caressing his hand.
“I swear to God, if that fucker hurts her, Y/N, I…” he started, whispering angrily.
“You will take care of your daughter. Because she will need you. In a month or two years. And you’ll be there for here. As you were there, holding her little hand in yours when she was born.” She interrupted him, with a smile on her face.
He fought the tears. He fought, hard. His baby was a woman now, and he had to accept it. And be there to hold her hand and hug her until her heart was in one piece again. But that didn’t mean that he had to forget about revenge if that ever happened.
He let out a smile, he couldn’t fight the smile. And he didn’t know if it was because of the beautiful daughter he had, or if it was because he knew no one could harm for free his Daisy.

She Loves You (Eddie Brock)
Requested by: @fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby
Summary: Venom spoiling Eddie's feelings for you.
Prompt: 27 - I wonder which will get you killed faster, your loyalty or your stubbornness.
.
.
.
"To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life." - V. Hugo, Les Miserables
The Moon was shining through the window into the small apartment setting a rather scary scene but Y/N didn't feel afraid at all. She knew she should be considering who the person next to her was or more specifically -what possessed them. 
From time to time, Y/N glanced from the TV screen to Eddie who was sitting on the other side of the couch, absolutely drawn into the movie that was going on. She wasn't able to concentrate, too many questions were running through her mind keeping her worried and stressed.
When she got here, after a way too weird conversation on the phone with Eddie, Y/N had never seen such a mess in her entire life. Rubbish was everywhere, food from fridge and cupboards could be found literally all over the apartment and that didn't include the water splashed over the place. She immediately ordered Eddie, who was looking like he hadn't slept in days and was under a constant stress, to go take a really long bath.
Even though he explained everything that happened, or at least he tried to, Y/N didn't feel scared. Just worried and that's what was making her uneasy. A great curiosity was hiding within her and she found herself thinking about what should Eddie do next or how to solve this whole ridiculous situation. Not even once had an option of an escape crossed her mind.
"If you keep thinking so hard like that, your head's gonna explode." he suddenly spoke up, his eyes didn't leave the screen for a second. 
"I was just replaying the moment you jumped into that aquarium to those lobsters when we went to visit your ex-girlfriend and totally ruined her lovely date." Y/N chuckled sending him a cheeky wink.
"You promised you'll never talk about it!" Eddie exclaimed but a little laugh escaped his lips as he glanced at her for the first time. 
Oh, I like her.
A moment of silence was followed by her startled voice, "What the bloody hell was that?" 
"You see, darling, that was..., ehm-" Eddie started to bumble, absolutely thrown off by his new friend's sudden contribution to the conversation.
"Eddie Brock, answer the goddamn question."
I can't believe you haven't told her about me yet. 
"I have! But I kind of didn't mention you can talk. In English." he mumbled as a matter of fact turning to face her confused and startled face.
"That's Venom, isn't it, Eddie?" Y/N finally said after she put one and one together, "that thing that lives inside of you, right?"
"Yeah," he whispered as he quickly looked away. Eddie was starting to feel scared that she, the only constant in his life, might leave him now. He noticed how his hands were trembling a bit and a single drop of sweat rolled down his temple. 
Stop being a baby, Eddie and tell her you've been obsessed with her since... well, since always!
Another wave of silence washed over them as Y/N's cheeks went red but Eddie was literally like a tomato compared to her.
"You really don't know when to shup up, don't you?" the embarrassed man frowned trying to wipe his sweaty palms into his pants. This place got so suddenly hot for him and the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen sitting just a meter away from him wasn't definitely helping.
I shouldn't have said that?
"No!"
But she likes you back!
"Just shut up, Veno- wait, what?" 
Eddie looked directly at her trying to find at least a tiny sign of an affection in her eyes.
"Venom's not blind," Y/N chuckled as she dared to look at him as well, "unlike someone."
A huge grin appeared on his face. This was exactly what he'd been dreaming of for the past few weeks. 
Eddie moved slowly on the couch closer to her. Their noses were just centimetres away from each other, Y/N could feel his hot breath on her skin. His hand gently caressed her cheek bringing her even closer than before.
And their lips finally touched, crashed together like two people madly in love with each other after a long time of being away from their other half. It simply felt right, so right, that both of them forgot about the world around them including Venom. This was about them and their love.
"I wonder which will get you killed faster, your loyalty or your stubbornness, Eddie Brock." Y/N smiled after she broke the long loving kiss intertwining her fingers with his.
"I can assure you that you're gonna be the death of me, Ms Y/L/N." Eddie replied cheekily leaning in for another delicate kiss.

“Unexpected.” - Part 1 Cillian Murphy x fem!Reader
Requested by @fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby
Summary: (Y/N) gets a chance to go to the sets of her favourite series, Peaky Blinders, but the day doesn’t go as planned. 
Warning: mention of death
Part 2 can be found here
Tumblr media
‘It’s just a birthday, he’s a busy man. He’ll come by later, I guess…’  (Y/N) tried to console herself as her uncle, Neil, hadn’t come to visit her on her birthday like he did every year.   
Neil was her closest and only family after her parents died in a plane crash. She could always rely on him and talk to him about anything and everything. He was (Y/N)’s best friend. But, he was a costume designer and therefore, a very busy man. Neil had told her in a recent phone call that he wouldn’t be able to make it for her birthday because of work. Speaking of work, he had been hired as the costume designer for her favourite Netflix series of all times, Peaky Blinders.   
(Y/N) had been ecstatic when she found out and almost begged him to let her come to the sets with him. She loved the cast and wanted a chance to meet them. In particular, she wanted to meet Cillian Murphy. She had been his fan since she saw him on Batman Begins. Actually, that would be an understatement, she was basically in love with him and had accepted the fact that it was just a celebrity crush which she could do nothing about.   
Coming back to the point, (Y/N) was a bit sad when Neil said he couldn’t make it but was hurt when he didn’t even call. It wasn’t like him to miss her birthday.  As she was laying on her bed, tired after a chaotic day of celebrating her turning a year older, she heard a creak from outside her room.   
She shot up straight and got out of her bed, walking towards her door, grabbing one of her textbooks from her study table to use as a weapon on the way – great choice, (Y/N). A textbook? Seriously?   
Opening her door as quietly as she could, she stepped out into the hallway, trembling, with the textbook held above her shoulder, ready to strike someone.  
(Y/N) gasped as she felt someone poke her shoulder from behind and turned around, smashing the bundle of maths problems on the side of their face.   
“Ah!” She heard a familiar voice wince as she fumbled around for the switch to turn on the lights.  
“Uncle Neil?” (Y/N) called out, looking at him in surprise as the lights came on. “You scared me to death, you prat!” She grinned, walked up to him and slapped his upper arm before hugging him.   
“Why a textbook, though?” He said, rubbing the side of his face as they pulled away. “A bloody heavy one too.” She felt a bit guilty, but he was the one that snuck in her house, so she laughed at his expense.  
They both laughed and talked for a while, having walked into the kitchen, sitting on the barstools with cups of coffee and biscuits in front of them. He still hadn’t wished her ‘happy birthday’ but she let that slide knowing he was a bit absent minded at times and meant no ill-will. Just as she thought this, he suddenly stopped speaking and his eyes widened as he looked at her.  “I almost forgot!” He reached into his backpack and pulled out a lanyard with an ID card attached. “Happy birthday!”   
“Finally! I was beginning to think that you actually forgot.” She took the lanyard and hugged him saying a quiet but excited ‘thank you’ before sitting back.  
(Y/N) looked at the lanyard confusedly at first but when she turned the ID card, her eyes widened as she read the words written on it, and she froze. She read it, then read it again just to confirm. On it, it said in bold print letters:  
VISITOR’S PASS - PEAKY BLINDERS  
“AHHHH!” She screamed in excitement and hugged a laughing Neil with such force that he would have definitely fallen if he was still sitting on the bar stool.    
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Do I look okay?”   
“You look gorgeous, (Y/N). Let’s go now, we don’t want to be late now do we.” Neil urged her to get out of the house but couldn’t keep the smile off his face as he saw her skipping down the driveway in excitement.   
After three hours of driving and Neil answering (Y/N)’s questions about the set and cast and everything in between, they finally reached.   
“Let’s go!” (Y/N) pulled Neil to the entrance as they got out of the car. The guard standing in front of the door checked their identification and smiled when he saw (Y/N) grinning, flashing her visitor pass to him. Neil chuckled as he led her down to the sets. 
He dropped off his gear in the room assigned to him and checked the time.   
“Okay, they’ll be coming in any minute now,” Neil started and went on to tell her of all the rules and things she needed to take care of. She listened obediently even though she could barely contain her excitement.   
Some minutes later, the actors and actresses arrived in short intervals of each other.   
“Oh, hello! Who’s this pretty lady, Neil?”   
“Helen, meet (Y/N), my niece, and (Y/N), this is-” Neil was cut off by (Y/N).  
“Helen McCrory, I know, I’m a big fan, ma’am!” (Y/N) gushed about everything she loved about her acting without sounding too creepy or cringy and Neil was thankful for her staying composed and not jumping on her.  
Helen found, for whatever reason, she was enjoying talking to (Y/N). They talked for a while before being interrupted by the Cole brothers. They were slowly joined by almost all the cast members including Paul and Tom but not Cillian, all of whom had taken a liking to (Y/N) immediately due to her friendly and excited demeanour. Neil watched on in amazement at how she managed to win all their hearts in less than 20 minutes and that thought couldn’t keep a smile off his face.  
“What’s going on here?” A voice (Y/N) knew all too well made an appearance. She snapped her head to the source of the voice and froze. She was standing in the same vicinity of the man she had the biggest crush on, the one and only Cillian Murphy.   
“Neil was just introducing his lovely niece here.” Sophie gestured to (Y/N) and smiled at her.   
“We have work to do so can we focus on that, please.” As Cillian said this, he had an annoyed and frustrated expression on his face. “We don’t have time for visitors right now.”  
The cast members looked at each other in surprise because Cillian never acted this way; he was always the nicest, most kind person on the set.   
After (Y/N)’s initial shock dissipated, she had the biggest of smiles on her faces which was now tinged with hurt, hearing Cillian say that. The cast surrounding her looked at her and gave her sympathetic smiles, some hugs and promises to meet after shoot as they started walking away.  
“You should leave before you break something or ruin a scene,” Cillian said before walking ahead of the everyone who had turned to look at them when they saw him approach (Y/N).   
Everyone was shocked, to say the least. They could clearly see that something was troubling him but they sure as hell didn’t appreciate the way he was treating their new-found friend. Looking at (Y/N), they could see the hurt in her expression clearly with the way she was looking down, lips trembling.  
(Y/N) had never felt such a sharp pain in her heart as she did now. Cillian’s words had cut through her like a hot knife, leaving her with no choice but to go as far away from him as possible.   
So, once everyone had left to continue on with their work, with a heavy heart and tears threatening to fill her eyes, she ran. She left the sets and kept running until she felt sudden stabbing pain in her leg.   
Great, this day is just going so well. She thought to herself as she sat on a nearby bench and pulled the sharp stone out of her sole which had pierced through her sandals, leaving her foot bloody. Her tears fell then, like white hot metal down her face.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Neil felt like it was all his fault; he was the one that brought her here with the promise of her meeting her crush. He never would have imagined that Cillian would act the way he did. He went to his room on the sets, hoping to find (Y/N) there so he could speak to her.   
“Hey, (Y/N)?” Neil knocked on the door before opening it. He looked around for the familiar head of (Y/H/C) hair but dread filled him when he didn’t see anyone. Picking up his mobile phone, he dialled her number and a bit of relief touched him when he heard her familiar ringtone somewhere around the sets.   
He walked out to where everyone else had gathered and looked around for (Y/N). His hopes quickly vanished when he saw her bag on the floor near a wall in which her phone was ringing.  
“Has anyone seen (Y/N)?” Neil asked the cast members as they all turned to look at him with concerned expressions.  
“Wasn’t she with you?” Helen inquired as she too looked around hoping to see a glimpse of her.  
“No, she ran off. I thought she’d go to my room but there’s no one there.” Neil ran a hand through his hair, guilt coursing through his veins.   
They asked the guard at the gate if he had seen (Y/N) and he told them that she had ran out about 2 hours ago.  
As everyone spread out, some by foot, some by cars and bikes, Cillian was left alone with his thoughts.   
Earlier that day, he’d gotten into a bad fight with his brother over some family issue. Then, he had to deal with idiots in the traffic while driving to the sets. Lastly, he had spilt his much-needed coffee on himself meaning that he had to go back home, change, buy another coffee and then come onto the set 20 minutes late. He’d had a very testing day but his patience broke when the producer met him at the entrance and told him off for being late to the set.  
To add fuel to the fire, no one was even ready to shoot as they were all standing around someone happily chatting away. He snapped then. Telling off an unsuspecting fan, his good friend Neil’s cousin at that.   
Cillian was almost 100% sure that he was the one that scared her away with his rude behaviour and that killed him as he realised this. She had looked so happy with that big grin on her face that he had successfully managed to wipe off with a few hurtful words.   
He put his face in his hands as he sat on his chair. Cillian only had one string of thoughts going around his mind: This is my fault. I have to find her and apologise. She didn’t deserve this.

FIC MASTERLIST PART ONE. / PART TWO. / PART THREE.
WANNA BE ADDED TO THE TAG LIST?
Tumblr media
From the moment he saw you, he knew. The ways in which God herself sewed you, and him, and the rest of the world, were different. She made you in her image, her divine, and yet the things in the world, her child, the people on it, turned you into who you are. What you are. Mass casualties. Not in the same sense, though. You were enemies at war, not allies. Where he was jaded, jagged, sharp, his body a myriad of tense angles and tight muscles, you were nothing of the sort. Your skin made thin, wanting, begging to be torn apart by the slights look, the harshest word. The sorrows of the world turned your insides black, toxic, poisoned, leaving you a crumbled, coughing up your own tainted heart in your hands. Your eyes an inky pool, tears streaming down your face. The criticisms of others were arrows, puncturing deep within your spinal chord. Every where you went you bruised easily, effortlessly, without a second thought. Pieces of you catching on corners, punctured by nails in the floorboards, shredded by the weight of what was to come.
Behind that desk, Thomas Shelby expected nothing of you: his first mistake.
This life of yours could be a painful one, the difference was he was ready and you were not. Encased, a bullet in his own right, flinching softly, instead of the violent ways you reached for yourself. A show, a ballet, of movements, eyes shut, cries loud, your prayers spoken softly. She would not help though, she couldn't. There was nothing of you to fix. Only the first day. A glass shattering, slipping from its silver platter. The rest only stared. Sometimes it seemed you were the only one to ever understand what had happened, to hear it for what it is and not what they assume. Smashing glass, a glittering, shimmering puddle at your feet, sticky with whiskey. Your face on fire. Determined, nonetheless. Picking yourself up, cleaning it off, steadying the shaking in your hands. A job offer. Word spread quick in a place like this. You, with those scared eyes, those nervous, writhing hands, all the ways in which you held yourself with care, tenderness, too aware of the way they could see right through you, stood in that line among many. Stepping through those doors, heavy against your paper skeleton. It wouldn't take more than a rainy day to ruin you. Something he couldn't help but noting.
It wasn't the gun, or the man behind the gun that got you killed in this business, but feeling too much. Letting your emotions get the best of you. Wearing your heart on your fucking sleeve.
The rest questioned why you were accepted on the spot, the rest turned away before they had the chance to prove themselves. Some thought he was sweet on you, others joked you reminded him of his mother. Fragile. But the war had done something to him, and in return, he would do it to you. A man as arrogant as himself believing there is one way to be. That the spikes under his skin and the bite of his teeth were superior to your kind smiles and soft touches. If you were going to be part of this job, no matter how small a role you played, you had to be resilient. He had no time for tears, especially bit by his assistant. The glass left the pads of your fingers shredded, but the shame you carried from then on out would only grow. He was not an easy man to please, but he picked your every breath apart. It became a living nightmare. The others, in response, were far kinder, standing up for you behind closed doors, their tones pounding on his closed office door. The words were muffled, suffocated, but you understood nothing about you was said with bad intentions.
At least, not by them.
The words he plucked were made of razors, intending to slice you right down the middle. You weren't sure what he liked more. Seeing the pain in your eyes as if you'd been slapped across the face, holding your stinging skin, or the way, after, you straightened your back and held your head high in response, turning the other cheek, daring him to do it again. Those malleable pieces of yourself weren't hardening. The care you felt towards everyone regardless of who they were or what they did couldn't change because of a bully. He wasn't changing anything about you the way he anticipated, you were simply putting on a better act. The way you slumped in your chair didn't go unnoticed. The thought of quitting dug itself into your mind daily. Waking up, getting ready, you fought the impulse to lash out, tell that man to fuck off, and never see him again. But that meant waving your white flag, and one thing you were not was a quitter. Nothing would you make you kneel and kiss his feet.
It was in your nature, to bleed when others did, to mourn the dead of which you did not know, to feel the pain others neglected. He was no different. So no, he did not respect this. He looked down on you, and anyone else alike, because of this. There was no changing his stubborn, small mind. But he turned a blind eye to all the times he take solace in this. A late night, a regular occurrence, Thomas bent over his desk, eyes heavy, head pounding. There was no end in sight. You knocked on the door with hesitation, not wanting to startle him, intending to wish him a goodnight. What you found should not be left alone. Instead, with grace, and care, you slipped his coat over his shoulders, placing the papers just out of reach. Without effort his head fell in his arms, sound asleep in seconds. You locked every door and window, turning the lights low, making your chair a bed for the night. No one should sleep alone. He never mentioned that night, nor was he any less harsh because of it, but you knew it was something he thought about often, appreciating in his own way. . . .
Think what he might, say what he might, assume the worst based on nothing but a characteristic, but there was absolutely fault or flaw in being too sensitive.

Ozymandius
A Thomas Shelby x femm!reader story
Requested by @fifty-shadesof-tommyshelby
“You are a gangleader at the top of the chain. You’re civilian occupation is being a pub owner. The Peaky Blinders were looking to either make an agreement with you, or kill you, but where’s the fun in that? Today, Thomas Shelby walked into your bar.”
Warnings: none, I think. Thomas Shelby’s a dick? Idk
Masterlist
Dylan, your secretary, slid a small piece of paper across your desk and sat in the chair opposite you. You looked up from the document you were signing and eyed the card suspiciously.
Slowly, you snatched it in your well manicured hand and glanced your eyes over the paper once. Then again. Then once more.
You looked up from the paper and grinned, holding the sheet to your chest.
Without another glance, you immediately left the room to prepare.
You, Ozymandius, King of Bristol, you were going to battle.
Although this time, you were armed with a bottle of whiskey and two drops of perfume.
“Hello.
-T.S”
----
You donned your brown skirt with your creme coloured loose sleeved shirt. 
You scanned the bar and noted the regulars along with your workers who stood idly in case something broke out.
The “King William Ale House”, your pride and joy. Of course you owned about 60 other pubs in Bristol, but this was your baby, your first one. The furniture was black leather with gold linings. It had a gramophone in the corner and often men would come in to request songs.
On Wednesday nights, you always had a slow night, so often chairs and tables would be cleared out and couples could come and dance in the evening. On Sundays after lunch, men came in and often asked for the radio to hear about the latest news or the racing broadcasts.
Today was Wednesday meaning it was slow so it would be easy to eye-fuck the Peaky Blinders.
The doors opened, in stepped one man; then another; then another; then another; then another; and a final one.
If you were a suspicious woman, you would say those were your new business associates; lucky for them, you were because you swiftly greeted them and played the slowest song you had. 
It was time to finesse your way into these gangsters hearts.
“Evening boys, welcome to the “King William Ale House”. The couples booths are in the corner and dancing is encouraged for all. Drinks?” Your accent was thick and sultry. Really, you were teasing them, but you were never one to discriminate.
“Orright. Isiah, Finn, go to the booths-” the one with the burly moustache grumbled.
“-the couples booths?” the ginger one screeched.
Another man spoke up, identical to the rest of them, “for fucks- just go, Finn. Scud can come sit by you if your pride is hurting too much.”
One of the men placed his caps on the counter. In the corner of your eye, you saw the glinting sheen of a blade sewn into the plane and rather boring cap.
So it is true?
“A bottle of Irish and the whereabouts of Ozymandius.” His voice was monotonous and deep.
“I apologise, Mister, but I do not know their whereabouts.”
The man with the burly moustache got very close to your face, “now you listen here, sweetheart-“
“-Arthur, Arthur. Calm down, eh. We’ll wait.”
The men sat at the bar and smoked. Others in the room got up on their feet and danced quietly together. In your opinion, you were rather enjoying yourself. There’s a certain rush one gets when they deceive the arrogant of the world.
You leant your back to the bar and faced the array of drinks and sours; and above the debauchery rested a plaque.
Everyday you read that plaque. Everyday you remembered where you came from and why you do what you do.
“I woulda thought the King of Bristol woulda had a watch on him, Tommy.” The one with the baby face and toothpick sneered, “I don’t like waiting like this.”
“Ozymandius is never late. They need no watch for they know that time is wasted.” You muttered saltily.
“Are you a spy?” The one with the monotonous voice asked, ‘Tommy’ you think.
You didn’t move your head from the plaque, only continuing to stare at the italic writing. “No, not a spy. Though I do like watching.”
The hush fell over the room again as you listened to the slow music playing quietly.
The door opened once more and another couple stepped in. It was Daniel and Lisa, a lovely new couple. They even had a baby on the way!
“Danny! There you are! Ah Lisa, how’re you doing? How’s the baby?” You smiled warmly at the couple.
Daniel used to hang about on the streets when he was a kid, you saw him as useful and put him to work in the local inn. He met Lisa and the rest was history. You were definitely a bit of a romantic
Danny was about to open his mouth when you heard a bottle slam on the counter again, it was the rude man with the monotonous voice. “Are you a whore, then?”
You played nice and told “Tommy” to excuse you and you carried on with your conversation with Danny and Lisa.
While watching Danny and Lisa dance and look at each other, you remembered what your mother used to say to you.
“There are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust, bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy. Sometimes, the men—they come with keys, and sometimes, the men—they come with hammers.”
While you were lost in your thoughts, you heard the sound of a fist being slammed into oak: the man with the moustache was having a tantrum.
“Have we been fucking stood up, Tom? Is that it? Lady-“ he took a gun from his holster within his jacket, “-you’re gonna tell us where Ozymandius is, otherwise I’m gonna blow your fucking brains out.”
You trotted around the counter to face the man head on with his gun still pointing at your face. You grabbed the gun directly from his hand and twisted it, listening for the sickening crunch of his finger in the trigger slot.
To avoid hitting anyone else in the bar, you twisted the gun down. You used your right hand to stop the wrist as you used the left hand to bend their wrist, grabbing the gun, and pushing the gun down.
After quickly disarming the man, you pushed his quivering frame to the floor. You took the gun in your hand and like a good game of ‘Simon Says’ all the others with peaked caps took out theirs as well.
You pointed your gun to Tommy who you now understood was the leader, all silent and sneer of cold command. You were no fool.
With one gun pointing to one man and four pointing at you; you liked your chances.
The one with the baby face spoke up, “who are you, eh? Who is she?” His voice was loud and maybe distressed but now was not the time for shock analysis.
You stared and got closer to the man, ‘Tommy’. He made the wise decision to not extract his gun, but his expression looked nearly bored. You admired that in a man.
“Evening ladies and gentlemen, I’m very sorry to disrupt your couples night, but for tonight, the “King William Ale House” is closing early.” Danny and Lisa along with the other couples all scurried out.
All that was left now was you against the blinders. Your men who still sat in their chairs did not move. They knew not to. They were only there in case you died. Unlikely, but you didn’t like leaving much up to chance.
You inched closer to ‘Tommy’, despite his bored exterior, you saw the curiosity that resides in his temple. “I’m not a fucking whore, eh? You hear me?” You brought the gun closer to his face, hearing the tell tale click of it’s metal as you pressed it against his face.
“Who are you then?” His eyes quivered, but his face remained like a stone, eyebrow crooked.
“My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty and dispair!”
You pushed the cold metal closer to his face. You sighed again, “I’m very sorry boys, but we’re going to have to cut this short. You were late for our meeting, anyway.”
You clicked back the gun on to safety and instead cupped Tommy’s jaw. You leaned in close, making an effort to fan your breath.
“I’ve read about you in the papers, Shelby. Maybe next time, don’t be late for our evening date?” You felt his spine shiver as you spoke. “Two weeks. Meet me back here. Same time. Bring your cleanest suit and maybe some flowers, just for me? Yeah? Alone and sweet; how quaint.”
Leaving the frozen men behind, you toddled back around the counter and started washing glasses that sat there.
Slowly while swaying to the music that still played, you hummed the tune to yourself. When you looked up again, the men were still standing there like ninnies.
“What’re you lot still doing here? I told you, we’re closed.”
You carried on your work of cleaning glasses while heavy boots shuffled on the ground, and two of them picking up the groaning man with the burly moustache.
You placed down your glass and leaned back against the counter again. Looking up at the plaque, you read aloud:
“I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
——
Based off of ‘Ozymandius’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Tumblr media
Your eyes were covered with a blindfold as Polly led you to what felt like a field, given there was grass beneath your feet and you could feel your clothes catching on the tall wheat plants swaying in the wind as you followed her lead.
“Am I being kidnapped by your family? What have I done?” You asked with a smile, Polly laughing lightly as she led you onward.
“We wouldn’t dare kidnap you. You’re too precious.” She said, thinking about how you’d been there for Tommy during his darkest moments, seeing him off before the war and putting him back together when he came back. It was a slow process, but you made sure to be one of the only constant things in his life. The only one who could get him to let half of his walls down since they were built up like a fortress. The stones so heavy you didn’t think you’d be able to bear them yourself. But you did, and here you were being led on one of the most interesting times of your life, blindfolded of all things.
“It’s getting late Pol, I was supposed to meet Tom at the Garrison remember?” You asked, your mind racing with how the days events unfolded.
You’d gone through half the days work to find a letter written by none other than your long-time boyfriend Thomas Shelby. The infamous main man of the backstreet razor gang you’d come to love. The letter included a small picture of the two of you from your first date years ago, taken by Polly on the front steps of the old house on Watery Lane. The two of you young and full of life before the war.
“Y/N, you know he said in the letter he was trying to make up for the time spent away from you. I’m just helping him out. I wouldn’t want to disappoint my heathen of a nephew.” She said, slowing her steps as you thought about how you’d gotten to be behind a blindfold.
Polly had whisked you away per Thomas’ request that was unbeknownst to you. Telling her to take you out for an early lunch as a treat for not seeing you enough recently, giving her a few extra shillings to put towards a nice outfit for later.
You being a lover of anything remotely of shopping, perked up at the request, and so you couldn’t turn it down. Not when you had free reign of the shops with just the mention of the Shelby name.
Although, living a life of crime, or more-so watching the others that you’d grown to love, live a life of crime wasn’t always easy. Seeing as you’ve had your fair share of late nights wondering when he’d be home, dealing with constant surveillance due to threats, or deciding whether or not to sew a wound up or have a doctor give it a go.
But this was one of the perks, albeit a rare one as he wasn’t the most romantic of the Shelby men. Most times he’d send you flowers or would take you out on the town when his schedule would allow it, even if it didn’t fall quite on a day worth celebrating, but you applauded his efforts anyway as he was a busy man with a million things going on in his head.
At times, this would put strain on the both of you. You sometimes wishing to turn his brain off, like a light switch. Just so he could focus on you and your relationship for more than 5 minutes. But deep down you knew he tried his best given what he’s been through. Doing everything he had to do to make sure you were safe, even if it meant going weeks without you like recently. But now was his time to make up for it, and little did you know how great of a length he’d gone to make that happen.
Polly slowed her steps as you felt someone near you, the familiar smell of his cologne filling your nose as he undid the blindfold. Your eyes soon adjusting to the sunlight that was just starting to fade into the evening sky.
Thomas’ eyes were happier than you’d seen in weeks. And if you were honest it was a little unsettling at first, at least internally. You’d grown accustomed to his steely gaze but he’d always reserved a softer glance just for you. But this one was...different. There was more love there than before. More depth.
As you tore your eyes away from his with a smile, you quickly looked around at the set-up he had going.
There was a vardo sitting nearby, the one he’d shown you years ago where you’d make out until sunset until one of his parent would come looking for him. And there were two chairs and a makeshift table, with torches around it lighting the area. It was nothing compared to the lavish living you were accustomed to now, but it felt more like him. More at home in a way. Especially with the beautiful lake in the distance that matched the blue of his eyes. The color of them pulling you in like a riptide as he pulled your attention back to him with a light stroke of your cheek.
“Where’d you go just now?” He asked, seeing you have that look once before after he took you to London the night before a mission, seeing some of the city that you’d never had the privilege of being to until then.
“Paradise...I mean look love, it’s beautiful! How’d you put all this together? Never knew you had it in ya.” You said jokingly, wrapping your arms around his waist as he pulled you close, his lips finding yours in an instant.
“I may have stayed here and planned it out with the lads...” he said, referring to his brothers and trusted friend Johnny Dogs.
“Well I think it’s lovely. But I do have to ask...what’s all this for?” You asked, his facial expression changing slightly as he put his hand in his pocket.
“I wanted to surprise you since I’ve been away so long. Also, it got me thinking about something.” He said, watching Polly walk off in the distance, giving you two the privacy you needed.
“You’re always thinking Tommy, I need specifics.” You said with a smirk.
“I was thinking about the future. Our future.” He said, holding your left hand in his as he got down on one knee, the sunset reflecting on his eyes as he gazed up at you.
Your heart raced as he let go to open the small box, a large diamond ring sticking out of the velvet casing.
“Will you marry me, Y/N?” He asked, a cautiously hopeful look on his face as you smiled through your tears. Your hand shaking as you held it out to him.
“Yes!” You said aloud, wiping the tears from your cheeks as he slipped the ring on your finger and wrapped you in a long, protective hug.
For one day, it definitely was the most eventful of them, and you wouldn’t trade any of it for the world, even if you’d gotten offered millions to leave the family, you knew in your heart you couldn’t. It was where you belonged, and now the two of you looked forward to your adventure in marriage. Knowing the title of becoming a Shelby was sure to come with some perks.
