I just want Arthur to meet a nice farm girl who’s maybe a bit younger than him but teaches him how to love again and validates his ptsd and mental health issues and shows him other ways of dealing with them than turning to drugs and I just really need that in his life for him I just need to see him happy why can he never be happy OH GOD OH JEEZ

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

You're Adas Roommate and She Falls in Love with You Part 2 (Modern Au)

part one is here!

this woman makes me want to wet myself I'm no even kidding 

you guys have never argued like this before

or really ever

just like that Ada is back to eating alone

she's not coming back to the smell of baking 

its hard to explain to how much it hurts to hear you around the flat and know you're that but that you're both trying your hardest to avoid each other;

 you don't know what you've done wrong and you're upset that Ada doesn't seem to want to be mates with you anymore 

Ada just feels so guilty about the whole situation that she can't even bring herself to speak to you 

its a week and a but before Ada realises she has to do something 

she buys your favourite flowers and plans on getting home and cooking you a big meal as an apology, hoping that somewhere in this baking fiasco she will be able to think of some way of explaining why she said what she said

but when she gets back the flat its just a bit too quiet

she waits around for you to get back in and when it starts getting dark she starts to worry

when she goes to the bathroom she notices your toothbrush is gone

its just little things, but all the bits you'd have in the flat that you used every day 

it kinda dawns on her that you've gone and she just chucks all the food out and goes to cry on Polly shoulder

who wouldn't 

i bet she gives great hugs

“what should i do Pol? do i call her?”

Polly sits and listens to all her scenarios of how to win you back, knowing that she will tell Ada just to give you your space  

and obviously thats not the solution she wants to hear but for once in Polly’s  life a Shelby is actually gonna take her advice and not just do the complete opposite

with every passing day Ada gets less and less hopeful you'll come back

she was waiting on the text to tell her to just pack the rest of your stuff and leave it in the street for you 

and tbh as much as it would hurt she’d do it for you if thats what you wanted because she would do anything for you 

on day four though you were back 

she's having breakfast and you just kinda pop through the door like 

“hi, how y'all doin”

she's got no clue what to say to you at all

she hadn't rehearsed this scenario in her head 

you shuffle over and give her a hug and she's like 

wtf is happening 

but then obviously she hugs back 

“I'm sorry for whatever i did Ada i really am”

“you didn't do anything wrong it was all me”

girly happy tears hug 

Ada is so happy to see you again 

like she literally can't breath she's so happy 

its been only like 5 days but still

and she never wants this hug to end

EVER!

she's just soaking in the feeling of your warm arms around her and the smell of your hair

the feeling of your face pressed into the side of her neck 

having a movie night together to make up for all the time you guys missed eachother

5 days in lesbian time is like 2 years 

you watch all the twilights. all of them. 

bringing you quilts into the living room and cuddling on the sofa together

ada still feels a bit guilty about just how much her heart races when you guys cuddle but she's too happy you're back to think about that

playing with Adas hair like friends do until she falls asleep 

its the best nights sleep Ada has had since you left 

you start to notice Ada is acting a bit different? not bad just different 

a lil weird 

pulling polly aside and asking her if she had noticed anything

Polly putting on the best acting experience of her life and pretending she hadn't because the woman knows how to keep a secret 

everything goes back to how it was before for a while but Ada doesn't really know how much longer she can keep this facade up for 

she doesn't have to worry for long though 

all the ladies are out for Esmes hen do

this hen do is just a massive piss up to be honest, the whole family love going a little too far 

you all end up on the dance floor and Ada bumps into Freddie

who she hasn't seen in years 

you're at the table and can see them dancing together so you ask the girls who he is 

lizzie filling you in on their history together 

distant history but still history 

seeing how close he is to Ada makes you feel sick

is that his HaND On hEr AsS

meanwhile Ada is just enjoying a dance with an old mate, when all of a sudden you come out of nowhere with a grumpy face and grab her hand, pulling her out the club

polly watching this unfold like 

everyone else is confused, especially Linda

woman doesn't believe god made lesbians 

Lizzie, who has been theorising this outcome for months with her husband, is texting Tommy as we speak 

“what was that all abo-”

Ada is pushed against the back door and KISSED 

all that anger and jealousy makes for a horny reader (and writer I'm just saying)

Ada has literally no clue whats going on she just knows she's being kissed by her BABYGIRL OH HONEY 

👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌there👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my self 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌

ada kissing back 

its passionate my dudes

lots of tongue and hands in hair

its all getting a bit too steamy when Ada pulls back, suddenly realising that this isn't some fantasy but actual reality 

“I've wanted to do that for so long”

“you've wanted to do that for so long? Ive wanted to do that for so long!”

going back to your flat

not to have sex of course although

but to talk 

falling asleep in each others arms again, but this time Ada doesn't have to feel guilty about being the only one who feels more from this than just friendship 

to be honest i could keep writing this forever, I'm planning on a smutty part 3 so if thats something you want let me know 

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

Falling in love - Michael Gray

weirdly enough i was going through a Michael phase when i got this request so thank you @midwinternightz for making my dreams come true

this isn't a song fic, but if it was, id tag Sweet Creature by Harry Styles because i can imagine Michael being a massive HS stan js - this is your song 

 Oh god where to begin

i get the feeling that Michael isn't one to make the first move

hes confident but also a bit like cocky? like too arrogant to ask someone out 

you start working at the garrison to make a bit of money and Arthur isn't sure about having a young girl behind the bar at first but you're such a hit

everyone just loves you, especially Jonny dogs 

he loves you a bit TOO much 

but you can hold your own and aren't afraid to break up a fight or two

seeing the peaky boys daily, you're working at their watering hole after all

you catch Michaels eye but he's just too gosh darn cool to admit it 

Hes probably the one you speak to least, i feel like all the other peaky juniors are much more talkative 

but boy does he LOVE drinking so you slowly but surely begin to get more comfortable with him

you're the chatty one

i feel like he just sits and listens to you most of the time 

you're not even sure if he's listening tbh 

but he starts to stay later, you notice he's still there at close, sitting at the bar nursing the rest of his whisky 

and he will listen to you talk about the day

or what youre gonna do with your day off

or just listen in on you and Harry chatting about Arthur 

he's surprised by how much he likes your voice

he offers to walk you home one night and this starts to become a regular thing

Arthur was usually the one to walk you home, but when he couldn't make it for whatever reason he would call Finn up to do it 

because he kinda wanted to see you too together

hes considerably pissed off when he sees Michael waiting for you outside instead of his brother 

“what’re you doing’ ere”

“im making sure Y/N gets home okay, like you do every night”

“exactly so bugger off!”

he lets you leave with him but only because Arthur has a masterplan in mind for getting you and Finn married

he tries to get Polly and Ada involved 

“so you want me to stop my son from seeing his female friend because...?”

“’cause he's getting in the way”

“ah right, and why is that?”

“’cause i like her with Finn better”

hes ADMINT and he won't rest until he's got you on his arm and he's walking you down the aisle to Finn

nobody quite understands why Arthur is so invested in you and Finn being an item, and god bless him he's not gonna get his way

everyone else thinks you and Michael have a good ying and Yang thing going on

but not Arthur

and he will continue to try and convince them all of this 

you're goods friends by this point 

Michael has a angsty side that only you take seriously 

you don't make him feel like his problems are mundane like the rest of his family 

he comes to you over Polly and she knows this 

she's probably a bit jealous, she's its got her son back after all 

and now he'd rather speak to some barmaid over his own blood?

but Polly likes you a lot, and so she doesn't make your life hell like should would any other girl she felt was taking what was hers

Michael is a serious guy, but you bring out the fun side of him 

which makes his presence more bearable for everyone involved

Michael only realises he's actually interested in you when he starts to notice  all the male attention you get and how much it bothers him

you're a pretty girl, and everyone knows the way to these mens hearts is through cheap beer or Scottish whisky 

naturally, you're the apple of most garrison goers eyes

jealous michael is a grumpy michael 

Polly rolling her eyes at this behaviour 

“if you want her you have to tell her, Michael, she's not a mind reader” 

he can't lie though, he's a little bit worried you don't see him that way

you've been friends for a good while by this point and he's worried he's too stuck in the friendzone to ever get back out of it 

so he tries to buy you expensive things 

which is very confusing to you 

“Y/N, have you ever wanted a horse?”

like seriously 

wtf 

when those hints hit flat he tries to plan the best date ever

hes convinced this night will single-handedly bring him out of the friend zone forever 

taking you to the most expensive wine bar in London and tasting all the fine drinks of the upper class

its all vile

who even likes wine?

you can't even swallow most of it in a ladylike way

you also can't stop laughing at how ridiculous it all is 

Michael gets angry and flustered because his fool proof plan some how did not work? but how could this be

“lets just go” him storming out and you following, now giggling at how ridiculously serious he was

catching up to him and convincing him to come down the cut with you 

grabbing a few bottles of beer from the back of the Garrison and taking them up with you 

sitting by the water under the starts and laughing about what a sham the day has been 

“i just wanted it to be the perfect dat- day”

whoops

smooth Michael isn't so effective after a few beers

trying to explain that you're not one of those fancy girls who needs to be spoken to with money and expensive things, 

“i just want honesty Michael”

“okay well i really like you and i really want to take you on more dates please” 

drunk Michael is a very honest michael 

agreeing to more dates with him

doing all the stuff young teen  lovers do 

you keep him humble, while he shows you just how much you deserve 

knowing the Michael everyone else sees, but falling in love with the real him

the country boy who has big dreams and wants to see change in the world

hes a leader, but so are you 

you're both fiery, so it takes a while to work out how to coexist together

teaching Michael the importance of family loyalty because he's not got non season 5 michael I'm looking at you wtf is going on my dude sort your shit 

he is so LOYAL TO YOU 

wants to have a big family in the country with you 

he talks about having kids all the time 

he also believes in the importance of marriage 

he knows he wants you and you only, i imagine he's excited to put a ring on it but he also is okay with waiting until he knows for sure you're just as into it as him

helping him over the scars of his childhood and whatever happened in the orphanage 

he scares a lot of deep personal shit with you that makes you extremely angry 

you have dreams of killing that priest with your bare hands at least once a week 

Polly wouldn't be happy with anyone else being with her son, you are the only girl who has ever reached her impeccably high standards and she is always there for you; because you're her daughter in her eyes now - even before you two marry 

Convinving Michael to be a dog person 

he'd do anything for you 

you're not just his lover, you're his best friend and his whole heart. Michael has never found another soul he felt he could share all his thoughts with until you, and he knows there will be no one else after you 

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

I’m sorry but pls I need more ada!!! I’ll take anything!

this is also about to be a thing !!!

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

Hi gorgeous! Can I request “falling in love with Michael Gray”? I just love the format!

this is about to be a thing just a warning !!!

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

A Taste for Something Younger  - Polly Grey Headcannon

Omg I love the Ada roommate headcanon! Could you do the same for Polly? Maybe with a woman a little older/same age as Ada (because we accept age gaps in this household) and her and Polly actually get together in the end? I'd die for that ( @vikingsxf​ )

this idea gave me a big gay hard on and honestly I'm so glad you had it; Polly doesn't get enough love. Ive gone for a younger (Ada age) reader because we definitely support a healthy age gap relationship and i just want to pretend its me who's with polly so. ALSO THIS IS A BIT SMUTTY JUST A LITTLE BIT BUT JUST A WARNING OKAY BABES 

you and Ada had been friends since she started at the library

you both had a lot in common and she would tell you about her crazy relatives which always kept you entertained

obviously you had no clue that the Ada Throne you knew was actually thee Ada Shelby 

when you finally do meet her brother in one of his unannounced visits to her flat its a massive shock that your besties family are the notorious Shelby's 

she brings you out to meet the other brothers and John and Arthur both take a liking to you

when Finn tells Polly about Adas new friend from the city who is breaking hearts all over Birmingham she doesn't really have much to think 

i mean it wouldn't be the first time the shelby boys lost their heads over a girl (especially dumb and dumber) and it probably won't be the last

but when she gets the pleasure of meeting you she can't help but understand why the lads lost their heads

you're stunning, not just physically 

you're mind is almost too wise for your years

“you've got an old soul” 

“thank you, Mrs Gray”

“its Miss, and call me Pol”

you're around a lot

you help in the office with the other women and come for drinks when Tommys in a good mood and feels like having the gang out

Polly’s sass making an impression

you're really intimidated by her because she's just this all knowing mature lady who is also really stunning 

she invites you and ada over to have a girly evening 

you literally don't want to go

anxious as hell

i feel like Polly is one of those people that gives off this no bullshit vibe, so you're scared to even chat to her just incase you say the wrong thing

dressing to impress by buying a new outfit and feeling like a fool for it

its the first thing Polly notices when she sees you 

“you look ravishing don't you”

literally blushing all over

stumbling on your words

Ada has no clue whats going on and is so confused

maybe even a little jealous? why are you swooning over her auntie so much 

Ada gets a surprise phone call and has to leave and you are wanting to leave with her but Polly all nah stay 

this is the (best) WORST CASE SCENARIO PEOPLE 

ALONE WITH POLLY 

in her HoUSE

getting drunk to hide the fear but then also getting loose lipped

chatting absolute beans with her and she can't stop laughing at you 

Because she loves that you're a bit scared of her but seeing a more bold side of you kinda turns her on

the drinking night becomes a weekly thing

you start to relax into Polly presence 

seeking comfort in your time in her home 

Ada doesn't even get an invite anymore

getting drunk together and her listening while you babble on about literally the most random topics ever

you get two whiskies in and start telling her all the facts you know about giraffes or the fall of the Berlin wall

and she just loves to sit and watch you 

insane tension 

a lot of staring 

touching but nothing that would cross the friendship line, flirting with it though 

her doing you makeup and telling you about the wild things she's done 

that almost so close you could kiss but without the kiss tension when she's in your face putting your lipstick on

she says you look good in red, which you don't believe but at this point she could tell you you looked good in a teletubbie costume and a bitch would be dressed head to toe as Lala

she sees you start to push your comfort zones and she loves it 

the new found confidence makes her horny as hell

Jealous Ada is more jealous when she sees you walking round in Polly’s shade of lipstick 

“she must really like you to let you borrow that” - but its LACED IN GAY ANGST BECAUSE WTF HOW DID HER AUNT STEAL YOU 

i feel like you make the first move 

which isn't something you or Polly expected

like you've both been drinking all night and for some reason you start doing vodka shots

and this is the good shit vodka were stalking russian standard pissed off your tits shit love

and you watch her neck those shots like she's getting paid by the hour

and you just 

walk stumble right on over there and fall into her lap 

grab that sexy face in both hands and give her the softest kiss she's ever had in her life

it feels like her first kiss ever

which is saying something because you betcha that womans had a lot of kisses

polly doesnt know how to respond she's SHOOK 

she doesn't even close her eyes she's like 

literally frozen in shock 

pulling straight back

whoops

suddenly all that drunk confidence is gone and you're hit with that crippling anxiety you get when you've done something wrong and been caught for it 

Polly grabbing a fist full of your hair and pulling you back down 

now she's KISSING YOU AND OH LORD 

passion 

she's not even clumsy when she's drunk like you are this woman is EXPERIENCED

lip biting oh my christ 

not that pussyass nibbling but actual biting 

and tongue 

and i mean after that loves theres no going back really is there

finding your confidence again or maybe just horniness and drifting your hand under her skirt

your newfound confidence surprises her but she refuses to let you know that because hello she's Polly fucking Gray 

“dont start something you can't finish, little dove”

“do you want me to stop?”

“i didn't say that”

this is the START OF SOMETHING NEW

leaving her panting and sweating, lipstick smudged and clinging to the arms of the chair

i mean once it happens once its a common occurrence loves

not that either of you are complaining 

not just sex but dates in her living room by the fire

walks together arm and arm 

nobody really thinks to much of seeing her and you together, either assuming you're just one of the boys girlfriends or that you're her niece or something 

and they couldn't be more wrong but their ignorance is bliss

she loves how young you make her feel

and you love how much she takes care of you

i feel like maybe she's a little nervous of baring all to you; physically and mentally

her body is slightly more mature than yours, things aren't as new and shiny as yours may be; i feel like she’d take some reassurance maybe before she knew that you wouldn't just leave her for someone your own age

not that Polly is one to doubt her self worth but she feels like maybe she's just a phase for you 

you wouldn't want her any other way though; you love her body and lets be real we all do too 

she takes even longer to be open about her memories and past

i feel like she slowly but surely reveals more and more about her private life until she can finally trust you with the complete story 

the rest of the shelbys know better than to question Polly on her personal choices; but they are happy to see the carefree woman they remember from when they were young 

even salty Ada can see the happiness you bring out in her, although she doesn't want to admit it to herself

Polly buys lingerie for you all the time 

being bratty and flashing your bra strap to her in public places 

or grabbing her hand and running it under your dress until she can feel the lace of your underwear when you're both out in the Garrison 

she has this “wait until i get you home” look that you'll do anything to provoke 

she teases you until you beg for her to let you finish as punishment 

“you see what you get for being naughty, y/n?”

she likes it when you ride her face, because although Polly is still in control she likes to put you in a position of power

and she likes to be able to see all of you when you're close to the edge

angry sex, because lets be real Polly can be a snappy little bitch and when you both get angry what better way is there to solve the issue than rough lesbian sex 

she loves your smile 

and your giggle

it makes her feel like a teenager all over again 

nobody really understands how you put up with such a intimidating, dominating woman everyday but they don't see cuddly Polly who likes to be little spoon 

she does her very best to keep you out of the family business and always will because you're one of the only people on earth Polly couldn't live without 

you often joke about how Polly would just move in after you but she knows that after you there would be nobody else for her

“without you my little doll, i couldn't be me” 

lots of lap sitting 

hair stroking  

the sweetest kisses; she tastes of cherry and whisky

she says you're like pink gin, sweet tasting and extremely intoxicating 

Polly had given up on love until she found you, and now she's got you best believe she will spend the rest of time she has on earth making sure she keeps you 

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

Omg I love the Ada roommate headcanon! Could you do the same for Polly? Maybe with a woman a little older/same age as Ada (because we accept age gaps in this household) and her and Polly actually get together in the end? I'd die for that

This is the best idea I’ve seen all year and we DEFFO love a gay age gap

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

You're Adas Roommate and She Falls in Love with You (Modern Au)

am i exclusively writing modern au headcannons because i don't trust my ability enough to turn it to a period piece and because my commitment issues make it near on impossible to write a full fic? you bet. Also, i eternally simp for Ada

Ada is at her wits end with living with her brothers

she's genuinely ready to murder them all

so she finds a nice one bedroom flat in London and packs her stuff

Tommy says its a big fat no sorry 

compromise a two bedroom and a roommate situation, as long as Ada can pick who

but obviously, Tommy finds a way to involve himself in this part of the decision making too

he just wants to make sure his sister isn't moving in with some weirdo or a gang banger

he also just loves being in control but whatever 

he actually shows you around the place 

you get the impression that he is the landlord and he doesn't exactly correct you 

he likes you though, he thinks you're a good fit and you don't seem to have any ties to people that want to kill him which is a rarity in this town

Ada is fuming when he tells her that her roommate has already moved in

the roommate who she was supposed to pick but hasn't even met yet

when you first meet her she seems so angry at you that you feel kinda guilty like you've done something wrong 

or just assume she's a big fat bitch 

it doesn't take her long to snap out of it though, when she figures out your not just one of her brothers little spies

i feel like ada is really into green/ herbal teas? she makes you tea all the time 

and at first its a bit hit or miss but she kinda hones her skill and honestly that shit is GOOD

she has an obsession reading up on it for a bit and she finds this recipe for this like super tea for mornings that builds your immune system and she starts making it for herself but then feels bad for not sharing with you so she leaves you a cup on the kitchen counter every morning for when you get up

she also bakes a lot, and she leaves you little goodies out with a post it note on them with your name on or a little cute note

after a while though when you grow closer she will literally just bring these baked goods into your room

like at the start she's SO careful with not entering your space

because all she's had her whole life is brothers coming in her room and annoying her 

no privacy in the shelby home

she doesn't want to make you feel like that

but after  a while you guys grow so comfortable with each other that you literally can just walk into each others rooms unannounced 

having dinners together 

you guys start by cooking together and like 

eating your separate meals around the table together

and then ada comes home one day utterly shattered from working at the library and you make her tea for her

in thanks she makes you your tea the next night and then it just kind of continues from there

even when one of you is away, its hard for the other to just make one portion so you'll often leave each other frozen meals with post it notes on

theres notes start as just names but then they kinda turn into a way of sharing little inside jokes

which is incredibly confusing for the boys when they come round

“Ada, why is there a cake labelled ‘Boris Johnson’ in your fridge?”

“thats y/n’s leave it alone!”

you get used to there being random men in the house

growing to enjoy the company of Adas brothers much much more than she herself does

Ada bringing you as her plus one to all Tommy political events and parties

Polly gets a strange vibe from the two of you

not that she doesn't like you, because she does

very much so actually

but she just can sense that theres something there thats a little deeper than friendship

she starts to see it in the way Ada is so hands on with you

Ada has always been cuddly, but exclusively with her closest circle of friends 

Polly picks up on all the little touches and hand strokes that not even you nor Ada notice to be abnormal 

instead of intervening she just watches, waiting for one of you to realise whats going on

Ada feels it first

you've lived together for a year and a bit and Ada comes to your room to drop off your morning tea like normal and your doors closed

thinking you've closed it by accident she barges in to find you in bed with a very naked male 

shes really angry so she goes to tell Polly about it

“but why are you angry dear?” 

Ada doesn't know, she just babbles on about it being so unlike you 

Polly just listens, not wanting to butt in until Ada had got it all out of her system

“i don't know Pol, i guess i don't know why I'm angry” 

“thats because you're not my love, you're jealous”

Polly is all knowing right 

she's just so wise

Ada had no CLUE how to act 

she doesn't even know how to accept herself, never mind how to approach it with you 

its not like anything really happened, there wasn't some earth shattering event that brought her the realisation 

it was incredibly slow-burner that was just simmering and simmering until finally one little event tipped it over the edge

and suddenly all the little things that only niggled at her before were not like bullets through the heart 

you'd come back from a night out and she’d be waiting up for like always and you'd go on the roof together for a tab like you always had but for some reason it would be different than before

she was much less animated when listening to your stories of conquests and hook ups 

“ are you alright babe?”

“yer just tired”

Ada knew she shouldn't let herself get so hung up on this silly little crush and that she was only hurting herself more but 

you were more than just some crush

and Ada had no clue how to deal with it

trying not to be obvious and being very obvious

 even Arthur notices his sister being weird

him asking Polly and her telling him its just girl things 

him understanding even less 

Tommy kinda figuring it out 

he doesn't really understand at first; why his sister is giving you all those little looks and laughing at everything you say

you're all at dinner together and he catches ada looking at you and it just all clicks 

he asks Pol about it but she says its none of his business 

which he finds kinda frustrating because he's Tommy fucking Shelby 

kinda an everyone but you knows kinda situation

Ada feels almost perverted for feeling things when she sees you walking round the flat in just a towel or you get changed in front of her

because you're so naive to her feelings

and she wants you so badly 

which just makes her feel like fucking the worst scum of the earth 

because you trust her like a friend and she feels like she's abusing that trust 

furiously listening to Girl in Red 

she tries to pull away from you, because it just hurts to much 

which in turn upsets you 

until you guys end up arguing and she can't keep it in anymore 

“ada i thought we were supposed to be best friends”

“i don't want to be your friend anymore”

imma leave you all gay hanging sorry

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

Being John Shelbys Best Friend (Modern AU)

You're somehow both the female version of John and also the antiJohn 

you meet in the most random of ways

he has a one night stand and you're her roommate 

he probably notices your looks first, but you offer him a snarky comment and he's absolutely both attacked and impressed

“you know most people are scared shitless of me”

“doesn't make you any less of a pussy, John”

his brothers LOVE you for this sheer reason 

you're the only person who can leave him utterly speechless 

you're his wingman 

always going out for ‘one’ and ending up out all night with him

he always brings you back to one of the shelby houses, much to the annoyance of whoever else resides in that home

polly meets you when she comes down to her living room one morning to find you and john in fits of giggles trying to shush each other and unsuccessfully hide behind her sofa 

she grows to love you though, and she thinks you're perfect for john 

so does ada

they both desperately want you together

they can see the fun side you bring out in john

John might seem like the ‘fun’ shelby, but he's still haunted by his past and has dark thoughts just as Tommy and Arthur do

he can share that with you too

crying with him when drunk and you telling each other about your whole lives in a back alley after being chucked out of a club 

partners in crime; quite literally sometimes

you love each other, in the deepest way possible 

you've always got each others back 

he drives you mental 

but he's the one person you know you can call at 3 am when you can't sleep because you watched a horror movie and you know he will drop everything just to come over 

his Facebook profile picture is one of you and him

people definitely think you're dating ALL THE TIME

he's the one you send funny memes too

you force him to make a tiktok so you can send him videos on there too and he ends up learning renegade 

its in his drafts, but you've definitely seen it and you're not even sure if its just ironic anymore

you dont know it, but he has a picture of you in his wallet  

you set a mug picture of you as his wallpaper and he never changed it

your mum loves him, she's glad you're not dating him though 

your dad is DEFINITELY glad of this too

  you fight like cat and dog 

i can imagine you have some pretty explosive arguments too 

you're both such passionate people, you're gonna clash on some things but you're also both stubborn as donkeys 

Polly is the peace keeper

“its like watching you argue with yourself John”

always making up

he may be a bad boy, but he knows when to apologise 

big cuddler

at the end of the day, John knows you're on of the best things that ever happened to him and he loves you with his whole heart

he's still annoying as fuck though

Belter - Tommy Shelby

a bit of Tommy fluff based on Belter by Gerry Cinnamon, because thats what the world needs right now.

i hope youre all doing well and staying inside and safe! nothing lasts forever <3

She is a belter Different from the rest 

Tommy saw you as soon as you walked through the door. It wasn't like when he saw Grace or Greta, he felt you. You took his breath away, you made the most powerful man in Birmingham speechless, without even knowing it. 

Diamonds on her finger And she always looks her best

You looked like something from his dreams, from any mans dreams. Every single light in that room hit your dress; you shimmered. He couldn't ignore you if he tried.

He would never know of the time you spent in the mirror, scrutinising ever part of your body and picking yourself apart - to him you were immaculate. 

 She is a gangster With a hundred mile stare When she walks Her feet don't touch the flair

You were Tommys ride or die, and everyone knew it. Nobody touched Mrs Shelby - those who didn't know you well feared tommy too much to do you wrong but the ones who did feared you. 

Just as smart as tommy, you were his equal. Arthur and John were no match for you quick wit, you could level with Ada on complex politics and even Polly admired your strength of character; 

“she's a good one Tommy, that lass, but god be with you if you ever do her wrong”

She plays with lightning I'm a hundred miles high Dishing out the thunder Like a God inside the sky

You had no fear of Tommy, and he loved that about you. the way you spoke to him, the way you teased him - made him weak. When you were alone together you had all the power. He would do anything you said, and it both terrified and excited him. Sometimes you let him have a flavour of that control, let him take the reins. But he knew it was all on your terms - he would serve you in any way possible, anything to hear the way his name sounded from your lips.

How can she reach me When I'm high above the shelf Lost inside a smoke ring While I ponder to myself

At first the Shelbys accepted you because they had too; Tommys girl was part of the family whether they liked it or not. However, when they saw how you could deal with him, talk him out from those dark corners of his brain he often dwelled in. You brought back parts of Tommy that they hadn't seen since before the war, parts they thought they would never see again. And for that, they welcomed you into the family with open arms.

Is happiness an option Or has love just turned me blind

It took Tommy a while to actually believe you would stay. He found it hard to believe that someone as good as you would be willing to blend their future with a man like him. He felt like he wasn't worthy of the happiness he felt when you were around him, the euphoria he felt under your touch. After all the bad things he had done, how could any god grant him such an angel like yourself. He'd lost love in the past, he knew the feeling of heartbreak and he also knew he could survive it - but he doubted losing you would compare. He had found someone he genuinely couldn't imagine a future without, and it scared him shitless.

No happy endings Unless fairytales comes true But she looks like a princess And there's not much else to do

He tried to turn you away, tried to deny the attraction he felt every time he was in your presence - but it was simply a battle he didn't want to fight nor did he enjoy. All it took was a bit of interest from you and he would lose all resolve, all common scene. You brought him to his knees and he would let you every time.

She gets underneath my skin But I've been stung a few times So I don't let no one in

No even belters

it would take a while for you to get inside that head of his, truly. Tommy had built so many walls to protect himself over the years that they were heard to bring down, even when he wanted to let you in. But Tommy was worth the effort, even if he didn't believe it himself. You loved him and you were willing to put in the leg work to prove he could trust you with all the sides to his personal. 

She is a Belter.

Falling in Love - John Shelby Headcannon

Alrighty then, so I'm not gonna lie out of the whole show i definitely sleep on John the most? i don't know why though because the mans a SALT and just an all round geezer. Anyway, i hope you enjoy! 

John: 

he sees you out somewhere 

like if you work in a cafe or bakery or something 

tries to slip you his number because he's a slick boy 

and i feel like at first maybe you’re not interested because like

he’s a Shelby you know so, angst 

or maybe you’re just playing hard to get you know 

so he just comes back everyday 

same time, day in, day out

it doesn't take long for his jokes to get to you and you start to come round to the idea of going on a date with him

‘does this mean you'll stop harassing me in my place of work?’

‘no promises, love’

he's literally always smiling when he's with you

even when youre not there and he's just thinking about you 

bragging to his brothers about how he's pulled the best bird in all of Birmingham 

Arthur and Tommy taking bets on whether you exist or not because  they are still get to see real proof of you being a real person

because he never takes you round the peakys

tries to keep you away from all that business as long as possible

you think its because youre just some bit on the side and he doesn't want to introduce you to his family 

he's actually scared of you finding out what he's really like

not that he would ever admit he's scared of anything 

he knows you are too good for him and he doesn't want you to run away and find someone better

because baby boy feels b l e s s e d

and John has some ‘baggage’ - as he would see it

he 100% knows his brothers will say something to screw it up too

and if not them then a drunken Ada or Polly

 you probably have had enough of all his secrecy one night and have a go 

“youre just better than that love, you deserve more than that and i don't want to lose you because I'm selfish”

he probably takes a lot of reassuring that he's good enough for you

even then i don't think he will ever actually believe that he actually deserves someone who he sees as so special 

hes also probably very nervous of introducing you to his kids

that a whole lot

i feel like he'd avoid telling you about therefor as long as possible

not because he's ashamed but he's worried its too much for you

when he does tell you he makes a massive thing of it and youre just like

okay?

a man youve only been seeing for like a few weeks has kids? not partially earth shattering news

you want to meet them but understand that it should wait so they don't get confused 

understanding way he's so secretive about his personal life and feeling blessed when he feels comfortable enough to share information with you

you open up to him a lot too, because who doesn't have past  

he grows to not hate feeling vulnerable around you, but he probably never enjoys it 

he wants to still be big bad John, but he also wants to show you all the little bits of his life he's never wanted to share with someone before 

so one night when youre out on some fancy date in some expensive restaurant 

and Johns wearing his best shirt or the  only one without some blood stainage somewhere  visible

you can't ignore how out of place he looks anymore

‘take me somewhere you loved as a kid’

and instead of arguing he takes you up the cut

tells you about all the fun him and his brothers had round here before the war

sitting in under the stars with him there and getting mud on your fancy clothes

Johns a hopeless romantic okay 

he knows right then and there he's going to make you his wife

him introducing you to Tommy and Arthur first 

right in the deep end tbh 

Arthur is just surprised you actually exist tbh

and mad he's lost a tenner 

them telling you all about the stupid shit he's done 

laughing so much with them your whole tummy literally aches 

then its Polly and Ada - which is what youre most nervous for

they love you straight away though

you are the ying to Johns yang and they can see how you bounce of each other and they very much approve 

Adas inviting you round to hers for some proper one on one girl time 

Pollys probably planning her outfit for the wedding 

she's also planning your dress

i feel like all the brothers would just forget to formally introduce you to Finn

like you'd just meet him at some point anyway they just don't think to introduce him properly 

like poor Finn honestly

You meet his kids lads and i feel like John has some sleepless nights about this

because like yer you might like kids but are you ready to be a mother?

they love you straight away

you love them

when he finally gets them off you long enough for you to leave they won't stop asking when youre coming back 

kinda pissed that they seem to love you more than him

him never keeping you away from his family again

keeps you out of the business side of things 

all he wants to do is protect you 

moving to the country with him

you tell him about how when you were little you used to dream of living in the country and riding unicorns 

so he just goes out and buys you a horse

“John why is there a horse in the garden?”

“well i couldn't find any unicorns”

(insert John smirk here)

riding with him on summer nights

waking up to the kids in the bed with you 

John loves seeing you all snuggled up with them

makes it impossible for him to leave the bed

he's never known love like this

he met his first wife when they were young and everything was so fast and new

and then after losing her he was a bit of a player

never settling for any one girl

but now all he wants is to come home to you forever. 

he marries you a soon as you will let him

its a BIG wedding like his whole family is there and so are yours and all the kids friends 

he still can't believe he managed to make someone like you his and he wants everyone to see it happen

he cries when he sees you coming down the aisle 

like UGLY cries and everyones shocked

including you 

Arthur is gasping for air because he's laughing at him so hard

he just loves you so much and seeing you in your white dress and flowers in your hair is just all a bit too much for him OKAY

he will never live this down though, his brothers make sure of that

Okay so lets get a bit smuttyyyyy

just want to get this out the way but 

johns got a big dick okay 

i dont make the rules 

anyway

hes deffo got a breeding kink 

wants you to have loads of his babies 

deffo very sexually attracted to pregnant you 

he just loves the whole idea of it 

other than that i don't think he's that kinky 

maybe sex at work - like in the office 

but its more just because he literally love shaving sex with you, he doesn't care about the time or place 

hes not more turned on because he's in the office 

it just is what it is 

big giver

loves going down on you 

he just loves the power of making you squirm you know 

probably a bit of a teaser 

and love being teased 

although he's quite crass i feel like he's good at hiding how turned on he is in public

like if youre deliberately trying to get him hard

he won't let it show that youre getting under his skin

but when you get home 

oh boy 

good luck to you 

hope you don't have to walk anywhere the next day 

hes definitely loud when he  can be

at home he's used to holding it all in because the kids are in the next room

but like when you guys are away in a hotel or something everyone on that floor hears way more than they would like too

your first Christmas together you go to Tommy’s for dinner and end up drinking late into the night and staying over

nobody can look at you the same the next morning 

and now theres a yearly argument over who has to sleep in the room closest to yours and Johns 

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

I just started season 2. I love John 😍😍 give me anything! I even like the filth!

I meant to do this tonight and then I took the fattest nap ever but I will be doing some John stuff tomorrow !! (Sorry for making you wait I’m just a lump of lazy)

[adashelbysgirlfriend]

Hey! Would you consider making headcanons for being Polly's lost daughter and how she would react to the daughter just appearing one day telling her that they just told Polly that she's dead to keep her away? And how Polly would react and treat her afterwards + how the rest of the family would? 💜

It’s posted now!!
