Summary
Tommy had always been a sucker for control. Not purely for the sake of dominance and authority but because he learned the hard way that this is how you protect those you love. But sometimes he felt his gypsy roots pulling at him: freedom, letting go, trusting your gut, listening to the voices in the wind… And in these singular instants where Tommy allowed insecurity and doubt into his life he felt more whole than ever.
In the midst of his life as a single father, as a fresh member of parliament and still as the head of the Shelby family, Thomas comes face-to-face with a gypsy woman from his childhood. Connected by heritage but allied by their shared belief in socialism, they fight for the rights of the working class. Slowly but surely they both recover from the horror of the Great War. But whoever said that ‘it’s darkest before dawn’ probably didn’t know the Peaky Blinders…

Summary
This is my first time writing Alfie Solomons. This is a younger, World War I Officer Alfie. He's shell-shocked and brutalised by what he's seen and done and he's in a brothel. Warning: there is a quite graphic discussion of war, trauma, shellshock/PTSD and then eventual smut. NSFW.
This fic was also written in acknowledgement of the Centenary of the end of World War One, one of the most brutal conflicts in history.
Thank you to Wysiwygot for being my cheerleader and reading about a million drafts in one day.

Summary
Perhaps, being saved by woman hellbent on self-indulging foolery wasn't the greatest event that could have happened to him. Perhaps, saving a man that always put his own pursuits and ideas before all else wasn't the smartest decision she could have made. What could really go wrong when a Gypsy princess, Tilly Boswell, makes acquaintances with a Jewish mobster, Alfie Solomons? Time will always tell.

Summary
Tessa Telfair is half history scholar, half Southern Belle. She travels to London on a research fellowship and leases an apartment that seems frozen in time. But time is much less frozen there than anywhere else, and when she wakes up one morning in NOT 2019, her studies are suddenly the least of her concerns.
The brute of a gangster that finds her is far more interesting.

Summary
You and Alfie were the best of friends as kids. And you were the dumbest of teenagers. But after the War, and a marriage, and the winning of all Camden Town, perhaps you'll get a second chance.
