Everyone has their first love and Tommy Shelby/OC had his own, never making a move and he even let her go to get her best chance. Lily Evans was a massive part of his life and made Tommy the man he was before the war. It was the sort of bond that was a once in a lifetime and was a whole something else. Lily is his best friend in life, helping him through his good and bad moments.

Though she never strayed too far from his mind in the years that passed them by. Tommy/OC. [Part Two now available]
