"Why do we even bother to say that anymore? I mean, look at us- surrounded by a graveyard of broken promises."



Esther Solomons- the woman that had held Thomas Shelby's heart from the time they were mere children. The woman he had loved. The woman he promised to return to after the war. The woman that broke him.

Thomas returned from France to find a letter awaiting him rather than the woman he loved. A letter offering Esther's apologies along with the knowledge that she had left Small Heath behind for a new life with her new husband. Promising him that she'd never be back and wish him a lifetime of happiness. But what happens when that promise is broken?

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'
