Author's Note:

Hey guys! Don't worry, for those of you following A Mysterious Connection quite closely, I'm going to continue updating that as well. This is just a story I've had in my head for a very long time, and although the fanbase on isn't as big for Peaky Blinders, as other things like Sherlock and Star Wars, I don't really care about recognition for this. I just wanted to write this story for enjoyment, and if it happens to get reviews that, of course, would be awesome, but it's not my reason for writing this.

Secondly and lastly, I chose the OC (original character) option because there is no option for the character I've chosen to given prominence to in this story. But make no mistake: this character is canon. She is a confirmed character, she just hasn't been given any screen time, she's only been mentioned in conversation. But I thought it would be so interesting if she made a comeback, and how that would affect Thomas Shelby in particular. I'm calling this character a hybrid because a lot of how I'm fleshing her out is from my own mind but also, I can't take credit for her creation because she actually existed in the show (sort of).

Please enjoy,

P.S.: If you haven't watched Peaky Blinders, I highly recommend it, it's one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life (and that's saying something because I watch a LOT of TV). Also, this takes place at the very end of season 5, the most recent season of the series so if you're not fully caught up with the show this will contain spoilers for season 5. You have been warned.
