Uhhh you know I'm going to ask for #7 and Alfie ❤❤❤
Pairing: Alfie Solomons x Female Reader; past Thomas Shelby x Female Reader
Warnings: allusion to cheating (non explicit); pregnancy; swearing;
Word Count: 263
Prompt: 7. They say what the devil can’t do, he’s gon’ send a woman to.
A/N: I kinda mixed this with another request and I quite liked writing it. Been a while since I wrote for Alfie. Thanks for requesting, Ginger <3
“Thomas Shelby” You asked, incredulous about what your husband had just told you.
“Yeah, love. Thomas Shelby. Mad fucker, isn’t he?” Alfie confirms and you sigh. “You must know him from your days in that shithole, don’t you?”
“Yeah, you can say that.” You said, caressing your very pregnant belly.
Alfie knew very little about your life before you two met. All you told him was that you were from Birmingham and that your fiance had left you for another woman. He never knew that the man was Thomas Shelby and the woman was Grace Burgess.
You haven’t heard from him since you left the city. Actually, you thought you would never hear from him again. And now he was making business with your husband.
“Let me talk to him.” You ask and Alfie frowns.
“Why?”
“You know, they say what the devil can’t do, he’s going to send a woman to. If you want him to agree to your terms, send me.” Alfie opens his mouth to speak but you cut him off. “He won’t do anything with a pregnant woman.” You walk to him, taking his hand and putting it on your belly. “We’ll be safe.”
“I’ll think about it.” You simply nodded, knowing that you would end up getting what you wanted one way or another.
Thomas Shelby had left you for the blonde barmaid that left him to go to America, and here you were, happily married with a child on the way. You would give anything to see his face once he discovered you were his business partner’s wife.
Your gifs are God tier. ❤️ Do you happen to have any gifs of Tommy taking opium... For science?
Thank you! 🥰
Do you have any particular scene in mind? I made one where he's smoking opium. Really close-up scene. You can find it here. I can think of another one but I think I did not ‘gif’ it.. yet. 😄
I can't help but also ask for #10 and either John or Tommy. I immediately think John but gosh I could see someone doing it to Tommy, too.
Pairing: John Shelby x Reader
Warnings: cheating (non explict); swearing; reader is bisexual; modern!AU; angst
Word Count: 178
Prompt: 10. I don't play anymore, I went through your phone and called the girls in your DMs and took all them home.
A/N: Ginger, anything for you. I chose John for this one, but as you said, it totally suits Tommy too. Maybe I'll do one for him later if you want.
“Love, I can explain.” He pleads with you, trying to reach out for your hand but you take a step back. “It was just a mistake.”
“The first time you did it was a mistake, after that they were choices and from what I know you had a lot of choices.” Taking a deep breath you continue.
“It isn’t like that, I swear.” You know he is getting desperate.
“No, John. I don’t play anymore.” You said getting up from your seat and throwing him a couple of photos. “I went through your phone and called the girls in your DMs and took all them home.”
Watching him go through the photographs in shock, you realized John certainly didn’t expect that behavior from you, his always faithful and loyal girlfriend. But you were tired of people laughing at your expense.
“You…”
"It's over, John.” You finally say. “Now you're as free as a bird to do whatever the hell you want.” With that you take your coat and purse to leave behind the only man you've ever loved.
Of course I had to use one. I'm sad you didn't have my favorite line from "Is There Somewhere" but I also couldn't help but choose this one:
27. “I sold my soul to a three-piece, and he told me I was holy. He’s got me down on both knees, but it’s the devil that’s tryna hold me down.”
Could I please have #27 for Tommy?
Fandom: Peaky Blinders
Pariring: Thomas Shelby x Female!Reader
Warnings: mentions of sexism; if you squint, there's a very brief, almost undetactable mention of rape, and a joke about the reader selling her soul to the devil which might be partially true since she's fooling around with Tommy
Word Count: 322
A/N: I DID HALSEY PROMPTS. Couldn't resist, honestly. Hope I did it justice.
Also, this can be read as something placed in the same universe of “Between these four walls” and “Endings and Beginnings”.
Seeing her in court was probably one of the most arousing things Tommy has ever experienced. He never really understood why.
Maybe it was the fact that she used her gender to her advantage all the time, even with her reputation people—mostly men, and one day that category included him too—underestimated her abilities. She always let them, just to bring them down with a satisfied smirk on her beautiful lips. Maybe it was the fact that she never backed down from a fight with him, always knowing the right way to win the arguments of making him calm down to see things cleared. Most probably it was the fact that he knew she was his. That this woman that was a force of nature slept on his bed and writhed at his touch, begging for it, for him. Even when nobody knew.
But seeing her in court didn’t bring him half of the joy of seeing her in a private room debating with lawyers and wealthy men to defend her clients.
Especially when that client was himself.
“We’re not gonna sign it,” she protested, yet again, “this is not beneficial to the company and we both know we have proof of the fraud. If we go to court, guess who will win?”
“You seem so sure of it? What did you do to know the outcome of this lawsuit? Sold your soul to the Devil?”
The lawyer looked at him, smirking. Even after receiving an OBE and becoming an MP, some people still had the guts to bring up his past. Thomas Shelby would always be the Devil of Small Heat, after all.
“I sold my soul to a three-piece, and he told me I was holy.”
Tommy watched her closely, knowing who she was referring to and that even when she didn’t even flinch speaking the words, there was pain in the memory of it.
“He’s got me down on both knees, but it’s the devil that’s tryna hold me down.”
1. The first woman to practice law in the UK was Helena Normanton, that became a barrister in 1922. So, considering this fic takes place around seasons 4 and 5, it's not really historically inaccurate to have a female lawyer around the Shelby's. And thank you Helena for opening some door for us.
2. The top definition to “three-piece” on Urban dictionary is: "a man of "high stature" in a suit. Perceptively snobby.” and, coincidently or not, the example is the line I used here. In general, a three-piece is a suit in which the jacket, vest, and pants are made of the same material, like the ones Tommy uses so much and we all love. In here it’s refering to a very whelty and powerful man that wears one of those.
Mostly because it feels far too vulnerable for her to be comfortable with it. Have a challenge 😉
Prompt: 15. washing the other's hair
Fandom: Peaky Blinders
Pairing: Thomas Shelby x Eve (OC)
Warnings: none
A/N: Indeed, this is way too vulnerable to her and something she’s not used to. I hope you enjoy it babe.
“Common, let me help.”
Eve barely registered his words before she felt his fingers threading through her hair. She gasped, startled, hands gripping the edges of the tub while she stared back at him trying to dissipate the fear running through her veins.
“Hey hey, it’s okay.” He cooed, gently, careful not to startle her even more. “It’s just me.”
She blinked. Once, twice. Her knuckles white from the force she was putting on her grip.
After the initial shock, she slowly relaxed, eyes closing, as Tommy slowly massaged her scalp, fingers tenderly untangling the knots on her hair before washing away the foam.
Eve didn’t remember the last time someone had truly taken care of her without wanting anything in exchange.
Send me a number + an OC of mine and I’ll write a little drabble.

Wanna be added to one of my taglists? Fill this form, please!
For thr fic asks i wanna know about K and R (or i just wanna hear what authors you like, if you don’t concider them an influence) 🖤🖤
Oh my love, thanks for sending these 🖤
K. What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
Oh my. I’m writing a fix about it. Something about a long-time friend of Tommy whom he mostly uses and manipulates, but never cares too much about her feelings. There’s some really bad situations that happens because of their dynamic and it’s probably the angstiest and darkest idea I’ve ever had.
R. Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
It might be obvious, but I’ve always looked up to Tolkien in various ways. There’s also Eduardo Spohr, that is one of the nicest people I know and such an amazing writer. Jane Austen and I dare say Julia Quinn, because I just love how they write romance and I think I’ll never be able to do one percent of it. Fanfic wise, I wish I had the ability to do research so throuthfully as Sinead [ @findinghisredrighthand ] because, God, it’s so amazing to see the things she does with all that info. And there’s also how she delves into details and descriptions, I know that some might think it’s too much, but I’m a Tolkien fan, folks, nothing is ever too much for me. I LOVE the details. Thura [ @theshelbyclan ] made me go into the Shelby!sister fics and I just love how Teddy just fits in so well and I love her so damn much. Lily [ @retromafia ] does some crazy researches too, and I love how she writes domesticity so well. Ditty [ @acapelladitty ] has probably the most compelling way to write filth in a way that feels in character for Crane and I just can’t get enough of it. The writing is #chef’skiss. Ginger [ @murderousginger ], my fellow fire sign, writes banters like no one else and I love her for it. And you, you my dear Cindy Lou, has such a range and a way to make me feel different things and even read horror, which is not my piece of cake, that I can’t even put into words. This might sound like I’m just giving away compliments, and I could list at least twenty more amazing writers here, but these are the ones that first come into my mind and that I wish I could, in some way, steal a little bit of their habilites and mix with mine.
Take a look at the fanfic ask game and send me some questions, if you like.
