Summary
“I thought you didn’t work for the Blinders, Charlotte?”
Something fluttered briefly, flared into life in the pit of her stomach when his lips rolled around her name.
“I don’t Mr Shelby, but I’d do this as a favour. Call it in return for my grandmother treating you as a mark in her kitchen. Nothing too dangerous, either. Not a job, just asking a few questions.”
***
Charlotte Williamson, born and grown in Small Heath, should have known better than to get mixed up with the Shelbys again. She’d once been let go from a job she’d never even claimed to have, it not being “women’s business” after the war to work for the Peaky Blinders.
But buried in a seamstress shop some years later, she can’t ignore a long forgotten thrill of excitement when Thomas Shelby comes unexpectedly calling with an old accusation.

Summary
| Canon AU | Season 4/5 |
Rosalie Delacour was a seventeen-year-old ballerina when she was sold into a marriage agreement with a New York gangster; she was twenty years old when she ran from New York City and fled to Britain, where she eventually met the infamous gang, the Peaky Blinders, run by Tommy Shelby with an iron fist.
Rosalie was always taught that a woman should be demure and submissive to the men in her life, but with mafia blood from multiple bloodlines running through her veins, with the help of Tommy, Rosalie learns that she is capable of being much more than a simple housewife, a pretty ballerina. She can be dark and deadly too.
Every king needs a queen, and just like in the game of chess, while the king is the ultimate deciding factor, the queen is the most powerful piece on the board.

Summary
“This may not be the promised land, but I assure you I am capable of pouring beer into glasses.”
“If this isn’t the promised land, why would you come here?” He spoke. You laid your eyes on the back of his head.
“No one ever went to the promised land to be a barmaid, Mr. Shelby.”
After leaving your suffocating home, with only your paints and the clothes on your back, and hopping on a train to Birmingham, the last thing you expected was to be working for Thomas fucking Shelby.
You also didn't expect to be breaking the law for him, but working for the Shelby Brothers was never going to be simple...
