Summary
After five years of living in Birmingham, Roseline now lives the life that many women dream of. Her husband is a successful businessman, and they reside in a stunning mansion filled with numerous hallways and corridors that seem to stretch on endlessly. The house is filled with both used and unused rooms. Money is never a concern for her; she spends it freely without a second thought. Everything she wears now is fashionable and beautiful, and her jewelry adorns her like a second skin.
Her beauty is the envy and awe of many, with the most charming smile anyone could see. Talented in her own right at music and art, with a soft-spoken presence. Even started her own business, unrelated to her husband’s.
She has everything.
So what if she had to quit her Job because her husband told her?
She still has everything anyone could possibly want, and all Rose has to do is be a good wife.
It’s perfect.
Except... her husband is Thomas Shelby, and she swore to be with him till death do them part.
Isn’t that so beautiful?
(This fic can be read separately from the first one.)

Summary
How did he cope with this? How did his family cope with this? And at the same time, how could anyone see him that way and consider it the prime time to abandon him? She had never felt more need to be right there, right at his side, than she had in those terrifying moments and she could not understand why the women of his past would ever leave him when his need for them, in those moments, would have been greater than ever.
Tommy lives with the fallout form a traumatic brain injury, and navigates a love life, a working life, and a family life that all seems to be massively impacted by that injury - sometimes, it feels like everyone else is more affected than he is. That is until his skills, and weaknesses, lead the entire family into danger.

Summary
In the years since Rose Abottsford left Small Heath, her life had taken several turns she could have never foreseen, all of which led to her return to her hometown. She never imagined she'd find her childhood friends again, or get involved in their business matters. More than anything, she never expected to see the boy she fell in love with before she left, nor did she expect her heart to still race every time he looked her way.

Summary
Love doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it finds you like wildflowers—delicate, persistent, and blooming quietly in the rain.
Thomas Shelby wasn't sure how it happened—May Carlton's younger sister ended up calming the storm that he was.
It was a soft bud of attraction, still green and little, but with a little rain, every bud blooms.

Summary
He didn't flinch when she touched him, not when she leaned in close enough that he felt the warmth of her breath as it escaped her nostrils. She didn't flinch when his heartbeat thumped against his ribs. Her stethoscope lays cool against his chest, cool against the scars and secrets his skin held like armor.
"It's a wonder it hasn't broken by now," she said gently, in that same voice that seemed to control the strength of the ocean tides just as the moon held them captive.
He didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked beyond at the clinic window, the sun hung low on the horizon, a peace so far away he could almost grasp the man he used to be– lost, somewhere in France, his face drowned by mud, despair–and the thought of all the things before this moment with her came together. Greta. Grace. Every damned person who crossed his path and ended up bearing his curse.
Then he met her gaze, unblinking, too blue to be real.
"Already broken."
TLDR: Thomas Shelby finally goes to a doctor.
