SUMMARY: [see request]
Request from anon: Headcanon for Tom Shelby dating a violinist player (edited)

- Tommy seems like the kind of man who enjoys listening to music but would never admit it

- You two met when Ada forced Tommy to attend a concert with her, you were a friend of hers in the first place

- You were the first chair before you played a solo which captivated Tommy

- He's never been so attentive during a performance and even Ada noticed it

- At the end of the concert, Ada brought Tommy to meet you

- He hadn't known that you knew Ada but soon realized why Ada liked you

- Your relationship starts to grow relatively quickly

- Tom asks you if you'd like to tutor Charlie on how to play the violin and you agree because who wouldn't help that little cutie pie?

- As Charlie learns, Tommy begins to fall for you, far quicker than he ever has before

- "Listen dad, I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb!" (Charlie)
- Charlie is honestly bad at playing but Tommy can tell he's learned so much from you

- "A young prodigy, I'd say!" (You)

- You adored teaching Charlie because he was just so curious and you loved how much he wanted to learn

- "One day I'm gonna be as good as you!" (Charlie)

- "If you keep practicing, you'll be the best violinist this world has seen!" (You)

- I think Tom's favorite part about you would be how giving you are and of course how well you get on with his son

- He'd definitely talk to Ada about you all the time

- "They've made me want to be a better man, Ada..." (Tommy)

- "Well, it seems I made the right call forcing you to go, then eh?" (Ada)

- Tommy would support you so much

- He'd definitely listen to you when you practice and would always say it sounds beautiful

- I think he'd find your calloused fingers to be so nice and just... strong

- He'd find the difference in texture on his skin to be euphoric

- Some days he'll find you practicing in the green house so you don't wake him and he'll just watch you, in your element, looking amazing (as usual)If you ever feel you did badly during a performance, Tommy would reassure you that every performance you do is amazing and perfect

- He'd bring Charlie to your concerts

- Sometimes you and Charlie will put on concerts at the Arrow House

- The entire Shelby and extended family will show up some days

- And as you continue doing them, Charlie gets better and better

- Over all it'd be rather swell and fluffy, having Tommy and Charlie in your life made everything a touch brighter

- Sometimes Tom would be hard to deal with, but aren't we all?
