Nothing Will Change by FloralPassengers

On a train arrives a young woman. She's naive, she's kind, she's everything the city begs her not to be. When she meets Thomas Shelby, he is unlike any man she has met before. An exploration into Tommy as a character as he tries to find love. A warning that this has no purpose of being a satisfying, kind romance, but more a broken man trying so hard and a woman trying so hard to understand him. Please take that into consideration.

Tommy Shelby ~ Between the Walls and the Whiskey by tearsinrain_33

Cecilia Clark didn't cross the ocean for trouble and certainly not for love, yet both welcome her to Small Heath Birmingham through the cold blue gaze of Thomas Shelby. When the bar maid proves to be much more than an extra set of hands, Tommy learns the true meaning of love with a broken heart. In honor of this final season, I decided to post the very first fic I ever wrote, all the way back in 2015! Thats how inspired I was by those brilliant blue eyes and that beautifully sad man who still could scare everyone in the room. Thanks for absolutely crushing our hearts while being the baddest boy on the block Mr. Shelby, I can't wait to see how you'll devastate us in season 6. (no spoilers please!) Warnings: 18+ M/f, VERY explicit sexual content throughout, threats of violence, attempted rape, blood/violence, language, heavy drinking/smoking, period typical views of race, period typical views of assault

Alfie Solomon's, 36, an ex-soldier, leader of the Jewish gang, illegal distillery owner and... baker. Was heartless and savage mentioned in that description? When Thomas Shelby agreed to Alfie's demands of getting a secretary for him he never thought that it would've been Tommys younger sister that would unlock his wounded heart. Sophia Shelby, 24, younger sister of Thomas Shelby, a sight for sore eyes, heavily protected by her brothers and was it mentioned that she was looking for a job to occupy her time? Never in a million years did she think that she would be working for Mr Solomon's, let alone the rest that came with it. But Sophia wasn't an easy catch, as well as the prettiest she was also the most skilled of the Shelby clan. But sometimes she let herself slip...

BOOK ONE DISCLAIMER: All characters that appear in Peaky Blinders belong to Steven Knight & the rest of the writers/directors. Some elements remain true to the original plot, other elements do not. This does not follow the timeline of the show whatsoever - it was my own AU/rendition where the Blinders exist. Canonically, this storyline would occur between seasons one & two!
