"I have heard many rumours about you, Mr Shelby."

"Anything of interest?"

"I could write a whole book about you, Mr Shelby."

The smog ridden city had many secrets and Katherine Williams had a way of finding out every single one of them. Before the war, Kat was known simply as a busybody. But then the war came and then it left, forcing the men to return home different people. And when the men changed and so did the woman with little choice. Kat was no different to any other woman in Small Heath, she wasn't the same woman she was before the war. 

No, she was a force to be reckoned with. She knew things that could bring anyone to their knees and she revelled in that fact. But not even she was immune to the fear and terror the Peaky Blinders brought with them and nor was she immune to the icy blue eyes of the leader of the infamous gang.All Rights Reserved

The Rose of Birmingham | ᴘᴇᴀᴋʏ ʙʟɪɴᴅᴇʀꜱ by MarCafeWrites

"I do bad things. But you already know that." ~ Thomas Shelby A tragic misunderstanding. A murder. A secret. An unlikely partnership. When the disappearance of a Russian refugee brings Lady Rose MacClare to the doorstep of Thomas Shelby, neither party is prepared for the significant changes a single encounter can inspire. As Rose unwillingly ventures deeper into the world of the notorious Peaky Blinders -- spanning ballrooms to dark alleys -- she finds herself torn between her moral compass, her suppressed rebellious youth, her growing love for a motherless toddler, and her mounting attraction for Tommy, a man she knows she should hate. || A historical fanfiction novel combining the fandoms of "Peaky Blinders" and "Downton Abbey." || ⚠️ Read with caution: foul language, violence, trauma, and sexual content within.

Clara (Thomas Shelby Fan Fiction, Peaky Blinders) by MrsNOBrien

Clara Baker was an Agent for the King. Top at her class for her intelligence and physical skills. However, there was one problem. She was wild, she did what she wanted when she wanted and people in the agency couldn't tie her down. So, alongside Grace Burgess, Clara is sent to Birmingham to get involved with the Peaky Blinders especially Thomas Shelby. They are instructed to report everything back to the Birmingham Police. Clara thought this mission was going to be easy, in and out, but she also didn't think she was going to fall in love with Thomas Shelby. I ONLY OWN CLARA BAKER AND HER STORYLINES. THE REST OF IT BELONGS TO THE CREATORS OF PEAKY BLINDERS. BEWARE THERE WILL BE SWEAR WORDS.

Gun metal and Daisies (Thomas Shelby) by wordless-writing

Dorothy Monroe is a petite woman with a heart too big for her chest. She's pure, kind, she looked at the world and determined all the colours of nature were miracles and needed to be remembered. She's loved photography ever since her father brought a camera home and even had a gift with the newly designed lenses ever since she could wrap her small hands around the clunks of metal. Thomas Shelby: gangster; and war hero; he reads the devils script as if it were the morning newspaper - the list will go on. I don't need to say much more, you already know him. The Shelby family, as part of Tommy's expansion plan, bought a large area of the woods on the outskirts of Small Heath, far away from the Birmingham smog, there they built safe houses and kept heavy machinery; maybe even once they kept a large crate of stolen guns, supposedly belonging to the Government. Unbeknownst to Dorothy, who stumbled around the woods (a bulky camera in hand), she had explored the woods many times, taking photos of all the things that shined bright enough, but had never come across the peculiar buildings that held many dangers. That is, of course, until she knocks upon one of the doors, ready to give an earful to whoever had built over this precious patch of land, only to come face to face with one Thomas Shelby. -loosely follows the plot of season 1- *disclaimer* I do not own the Peaky Blinders or any of Steven Knights characters, only the story of Dorothy and her own plot line. This trope is cliche and overused, but idc, I like it.

The Wildest of Them All, peaky blinders by bluev3lvet2

THE WILDEST OF THEM ALL - a Peaky Blinders fanfiction IN WHICH all sorts of things happen, at home and outside, every day, but Darcy doesn't recall having ever thought that in the life she had there was particularly bad. Life was like that, that's all, she grew up with the duty to make it difficult for others before they made it difficult for her. Little devil, they called her. The wild, Italian half sister of the Shelby siblings, blessed with the beauty of her mother, cursed with the wickedness of her father. She was a wildfire, a force of nature that couldn't be contained or tamed. And just like wildfire, she was unpredictable, sometimes spreading warmth and light, other times, leaving destruction in her path. But despite the chaos she brought, there was a raw beauty to her wild nature. She was a force of change, a reminder to all that some are born to be Shelby. Darcy was. And no one dared to say otherwise. She was a girl who blazed her own trail, and in doing so, set the world on fire with her passion and unapologetic authenticity. Darcy was desire itself consumed in pure madness, lost in vain, a prodigal existence yearning for freedom, the kind that the Shelby family couldn't give. A kind of freedom she would take and live.

He rasped and I looked up at him through my lashes. "Only if he is as evil as they say." I replied.

𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒 ˢʰᵉˡᵇʸ ˢⁱˢᵗᵉʳ by gracessecretshelby

"𝐎𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬." ( oc x oc ) 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 - the youngest Shelby sister was the only sibling that you could look at and say "no, she isn't related to those Shelby bastards." Although she shared the same brunette locks as her sister Ada and the same blue eyes as her brother Tommy, she did not share the same attitudes. Francesca was an anxious girl. And that only worsened when her brothers left for war. Her second eldest brother, Tommy, was a God in her eyes. She idolised him. Why? Nobody knew. But there was something about him. And for her.. Tommy loved her like she was his own daughter. They had a bond not even the strongest of men could destroy. They were cut from the same cloth. 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑, - Francesca finds that her closest and only friend, George, a boy who came from the richer side of Birmingham, had returned from the countryside. He was the type of boy all the girls would fawn over. Golden hair and blue eyes. Except, he didn't care for any of them. He cared for his best friend: Francesca Shelby. Or - Frances, as he called her. He was her only friend. Being older and, well, liked by most, he found it was his duty to look after her during such a hostile time. But they seemed to be blind to the fact that they were more than friends. In some way, they were more. They didn't know it but everybody else did.

Arthur Shelby- Love at First Sight by Skellyagogo

*Modern Day Peaky Blinders AU* A war was brewing because of actions in the past. Thomas Shelby reached out for help in America, but no one was expecting her or the way she'd show up in the Garrison. The fates are a funny thing though, sending a type of person you least expect. She was warned though, 'don't fall in love', too bad she was never one to listen. **I don't own the rights to any of these characters but I do however claim ownership to the stories herein written.

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

Can they eventually learn to become allies or are they doomed to hate each other forever? Read on to find out how she navigates working with the Shelby family and - begrudgingly - Tommy too. [Series/Season 1 of Peaky Blinders] [Tommy Shelby x OC] [Tommy Shelby x WOC]

The Sweetest of Hearts.1| T.S by PeakyB003

Book 1 - Complete Book 2 - Ongoing If anyone in Birmingham had asked Polly Gray when the ice around Thomas Shelby's heart had started to melt, she'd say it was the day Maude Felton came to town, looking for her brothers. She'd tell them he became a human being once again, the second his eyes landed on the dark-haired girl. He smiled, and he laughed, he was kind and sweet. By no means had he become a kind human being. He was still cold, he still swore out everyone around him, cut and shot men without batting an eye. No, Thomas Shelby had not simply become a kind human being. But he was kind...to her. He treated Maude Felton with such softness, kindness, and gentleness, that Polly Gray had never seen before. He looked at the blue-eyed girl like she hung the moon and stars. And she looked at him the same way, because she knew, all she had to do was ask, and Tommy would. There was no limit to what he'd do for her. She has single-handedly fixed his heart, and he'd forever be thankful for that. She loved and cherished Tommy despite the things he did, and for that, he'd keep her in his heart forever. He'd protect her like his life depended on it. Because his life did depend on Maude. Because without Maude Felton, there'd be no Thomas Shelby.

blue velvet, t.s by lolitaadaydreams

she was young, much too young for him, much too young for it to be moral but thomas shelby wasn't a man of many morels not in the general sense anyways, they say opposites attract but tommy could swear it on the bible that had they met under other circumstances that he wouldn't have touched her perhaps out of respect but deep down it was more so out of fear, she was the devil wrapped up in angel wings more like him than he could have ever imagined. a wise woman one said the only thing strong enough to blind a man like thomas was love; but his lola wasn't like grace not one bit. broken in a way only he could understand. this is a reright of Tommy Shelbys last love with barely any of the sadness, the turmoil the anguish, tommy shelby isn't a man who can promise much in the way of love or kindness and granted it's hard to love the man sometimes; a man plagued by his own desires. tommy shelby, the definition of an anti-hero // i'm not gonna be mentioning much of grace i want to allow tommy to have his own romance without grace being bought up 24/7, god knows i hate that bitch 'end of season 3 onwards'
