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
The year is 1916. Lady Catherine Beaumont has been shipped off to her first duty station as a frontlines nurse, much to her aristocratic parents' chagrin. She wants to prove herself useful in a time where women don't have a lot of power or options presented to them, and she know she doesn't want to spent the rest of her life as a member of the stuck-up aristocracy. A potentially fatal decision nearly costs Lady Catherine everything, but in the end, it's possible it led her right to where she belonged.
The year is 1924. Thomas Shelby finally feels as though he's made in life. He has an amazing house, a thriving family business, and though there's a little thorn in his side by the name of Winston Churchill, it isn't anything he can't manage. However, there's a hole in his heart that he is finding increasingly hard to ignore, one that was once the home of a woman he'd met in the most unlikely of places, one who taught him it was okay to want to be someone else.

Summary
There's no love lost between accountant Beatrice Price and Peaky Blinders leader Tommy Shelby, but when Trixie begins to grow suspicious of Birmingham's newest barkeep, they're forced to take action. Action, in this case, involves maintaining the facade of a romance, a role that becomes surprisingly easy for the former-rivals to play.

Summary
Thomas Shelby was death personified, the embodiment of death at its finest, the rejected and forsaken god of Olympus, but Scarlett? Oh, Scarlett is the beauty that the gods have always presumed to have, she is the goddess who makes the days brighter and makes them splendid, a being that useless mortals have worshipped and longed for desperately until the last gasp of life in their lungs, but which they can never attain.
The divine would never mix with worldly dross, even if the worshipped soul is kind.
But that rejected, isolated and presumably evil god would give all of himself and much more to have Persephone with him, would kneel before the night skies, pleading for her, for a simple caress from his beloved goddess, would surrender his scorched soul in the nine circles of hell just to spend an eternity with Scarlett.
