   Summary

   Tommy Shelby lands himself in the hospital with a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and Alfie Solomons is a physiotherapist - stuff happens.

   This is my first Modern!AU for Peaky Blinders, and I am a bit nervous about it so please be kind :)
   Prioritized this fic based on a poll - the people of Tumblr have spoken. Have another brain injury Tommy and caretaker Alfie fic.
   (Let's be honest, hurt/comfort Tofie is simply the best, isn't it?)
   I hope you enjoy!
