the truth is we died together once before. Arthur, me, Danny Whizzbang, Freddie Thorne, Jeremiah, and John. we were cut off from the retreat... Jeremiah said, "We should sing, 'In the Bleak Midwinter.' but we were spared. the enemy never came and we all agreed that everything after that was extra. and when our time came we'd all remember. you remember that God spared you. but what did you do with that extra time that he gave you, eh, Thomas?

Eliza : Margaret said it was like she could see into my heart. And because of that I trusted her. William : And what about me? Have I not shown myself worthy of your trust? Do I mean nothing to you? Eliza : Of course you do. You know you mean a great deal. William : Yet you trusted a liar over me. You are many things Eliza but I did not think you gullible of such manipulation.

reflection

Fandom:  FHR

Pairing:  Flystep (Herald/Lila Becker)

Summary:  Lila is a little harsh with Herald, especially given verbal sparring is not his sport of choice. She has instant regrets.   (aka. that one time Lila used vicious mockery and Herald took psychic damage)

Notes:  Don’t mind me playing around with 2nd person for the first time while all my other fics refuse to finish themselves.

Rating:  G  Word Count: 528  [AO3 link]

---

You’ve been going for coffee for a while now.  And Daniel—Herald— has been growing bolder.  Making other suggestions.

The cinema, now that’s a challenge.  You’re fussy.  Awkward. Can’t go when there are too many people—though it is good for there to be some, gives you some kind of gauge.  The images alone just don’t evoke the same reactions in you as other’s.  It’s like sitting with your eyes closed, being unable to feel what the actors are.  But a full cinema, that’s overwhelming.

You explain this to Daniel—Herald.

“Oh, of course.”  And, of course, he kicks himself for not thinking of that.

“You don’t have to do that, you know?  Blame yourself for not making a foolproof suggestion.”  You bite your lip to stop yourself mirroring his smile.  “Telepaths are awkward creatures.”

“I know—oh, no, not about—”  You laugh as he kicks himself yet again.  “It’s just—”

“You’re used to being better at picking things.”  You reach out, plucking the flyaway thought from midair.  “Or are you more used to girls who’ll agree to anything?  After all, you are the famous Herald of the Los Diablos Rangers.”

You whisper the last part conspiratorially. ��Wicked smirk tugging at your lips.

“You know, sometimes when you tease me, it’s just mean.”

Daniel’s cheeks flush slightly.  There's a hint of hurt in his tone that he’s trying to pass off as humour.

And he’s right.  You were being mean.  Needlessly so.  There was no ego behind his comments.  This isn’t you bantering with Ortega—there’s no need for you to drum humility into him.

This is just Daniel trying to make the best of a bad situation.  The bad situation being you.

What’s worse is you know you could get away with it, no apology required.  One look—you know the one— and all would be forgiven.

You just have to step a little closer.  Close enough that you need to tilt your chin up to make eye contact.  Let your expression go soft.  Just try not to get lost in those big blue eyes.  Remind yourself that it’s Danny’s heart you feel skip a beat.  It’s not yours.  You’re still in control.

You do all this...and you still apologise.  You’re close enough that your expression really does go soft.  Dangerously so.

Did he somehow wear away your sharp edges?  Or are you shielding him from them?  Letting them cut you instead, because you can take the pain.  And you deserve it.  For the things you did in the past that you can never take back.

Best step away now before one of you closes the distance— does something stupid — because it’s written in one of your minds.  You’re just not sure which.

“How about we catch a matinee?” you suggest, trying to break the tension you’re solely responsible for.  “Just you, me and a handful of old people.”

Danny lights up.  Smiles like a midwinter dawn.  And you try your best not to thaw.

“Ok, that sounds great.”  Wonderful.  Perfect.  A thousand other little words he should never associate with you.

But he does.

And you can’t help it when your smile mirrors his.

Is “In the Bleak Midwinter” playing during Tommy and Grace’s wedding a clue she could be alive?

I think so. Whenever it said to a character in PB BEFORE their death they survive their next brush with it.

Dannny Whizbang - Tommy says it to him right before his death fake-out. 

Tommy - Says it in the s2 finale when he is certain he is about to die but he is saved at the last second.

John, Arthur, Polly, and Michael - John and Arthur say it before they are all about to be hanged and they are saved at the last possible second just like Tommy was.

Grace - It plays at her and Tommy’s wedding. She gets shot in the next episode. and dies??? I call BULLSHIT!

Now let’s look at the backstory of this phrase.  This is what Tommy says in 4x02:

  “This is how John wanted to go. On the smoke. And the truth is... we died together once before. Arthur, me, Danny Whizzbang, Freddie Thorne, Jeremiah, and John. We were cut off from the retreat... No bullets left, waiting for the Prussian cavalry to come and to finish us off. And while we waited... Jeremiah said, "We should sing, 'In the Bleak Midwinter.'" But we were spared. The enemy never came.”

 So, when they said it before what looked to be certain death, it never came. They all survived that situation. That tracks with the previous and current symbolism in which the phrased is used on the show.

There are some people that will claim that it played to hint at her death in the next episode but it doesn’t work that way. When characters are actually dead, it is said AFTER their death not before.

John - Tommy and Arthur say it to him after his death while he is laying there on a table. There’s no chance for him to be secretly alive. We see his body and he gets a funeral.

Black horse in 5x01 - Tommy then goes to say it his dead horse but stops because he is crying or is about to cry. This horse even gets a mini funeral. 

So in conclusion, “In the Bleak Midwinter” - Before their ‘death’, they live. After their death, they’re dead.

Why give this moment to Grace if she’s not alive. It would just make no sense. SK could have easily chose a different song to play. It was an odd choice anyways. Like yeah, let’s have Tommy and Grace choose a song to be played during their wedding ceremony that is associated with upcoming death. That makes a whole bunch of sense, umm not! 

[lamia111]

Eliza : Before you begin an angry tirade, please let me explain myself. William : You have let me down Eliza. Eliza : Is that all you’re gonna say? You’re not gonna yell at me? I’d prefer that. William : Let go of my arm. Eliza : You’re making me nervous William, you’re not yourself. William : There’s nothing left to say. Eliza : Well, I had to follow my conscience. I was wrong, I preferred it when you were calm.

Requested by: anonymous

Prompt: #numb

Warnings: war, swearing, violence, one reference to drinking and drugs

A/N: Since SK didn’t bother to show us the impact that the war had on John, I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I inserted a reader at some point, but this really focuses on him. I wrote this at night after a random wave of inspiration. Also, this is my first piece of writing after a loooing pause, so I hope it isn’t too terrible. I hope you like it⭐️

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

John knew those words by heart. They played in his head again and again, day and night, from when he got up to when he rested with his head on the pillow. The same words that gave him comfort when he thought it was over, when he understood that his time was finally coming to an end with a feeling of bitter acceptance. They echoed in the room as he waited for the enemies to burst in, with his brothers by his side. Tommy, Arthur, Jeremiah, Freddy, Danny Whizz-Bang, they were all there.

They were kids. Kids whose life had been taken away by a system that didn’t care about the future of his people. Everything was about power, money, control. Those bastards out there took decisions in their palaces, sitting in their comfortable chairs, by the fire of their fireplaces. They weren’t the ones crawling in the mud, avoiding the landmines, trying to survive another day. They couldn’t hear the screams of their companions and the bullets whistle over their heads from the warmth of their offices. They didn’t know what it meant to be face to face with your enemy and finding yourself in his eyes. It was easy to picture him as a big monster you must defeat to save your country. But eventually the truth came out and you were left with the dreadful awareness that there was no difference between you and him. You were just the same.

If I were a shepherd

I would give a lamb

If I were a wise man

I would do my part

They were singing, waiting for the Prussian cavalry to finish them off. At least they still had each other. They wouldn’t die alone.

But that moment never came and before they could even realise that, they found themselves coming home on an empty train. Four years prior that same train was full.

So many young lives were wasted, thrown away, like they meant nothing. Like their death was nothing more than a collateral effect. But maybe they had been lucky, because it was over for them. The ones who made it home still had to come to terms with what they had gone through. The man who came back was just the shell of the boy he was before. His mischievous eyes were lifeless, his laugh wasn’t the same anymore. He couldn’t sleep. If he did, nightmares would haunt him all night. He had been spared, he had been given an extra time and he didn’t know what to do with it. He even wondered if it was really worth it.

The only way to make it stop was to numb his feelings. Drown them in the cut along with his medals. He didn’t need them anyway. He closed the door on the war, not daring to look back not even for a moment. If he allowed himself to think, everything came back, overwhelming him, making him feel like the air around him was toxic and his throat burned so much that he couldn’t breathe. Just like when a bomb fell.

He felt angry, paralysed. Useless. He couldn’t even take care of his own kids. God knew what would have been of them if he hadn’t had your help. What kind of life could he give them? What kind of father was he? The younger ones didn’t even remember him. He was a stranger to them.

You tried your best to be there for John, to hold him when it all became too much, to stand by his side when he felt like it was him against the world. But you knew it wasn’t enough. Nothing could erase what happened to him.

Then the gang shit started and for the first time he felt alive again. The adrenaline was like a drug, better than cocaine, better than whiskey. For once, he was in control, he was the one who had the power. He was the one to decide who lived and who died. No one would mess with his life ever again. If someone tried, he would cut them. He knew people talked, voices spread about how the young Shelby had gone crazy, completely out of his mind. But he didn’t mind, as long as they feared him. He became so good at pushing his emotions back, at making it his new identity, that years later no one worried about him anymore. He had fooled everyone.

But he couldn’t fool you. You knew him. You knew that it was the only way he had to cope. You missed the old John, but you knew he was still there, you could still see glimpses of the real him from time to time.

He couldn’t fool himself, either. Because sometimes, when the nights were darker and more silent than usual, an old melody resounded in his mind.

I'm on a serious Peaky Blinders kick and have been for the last 2 weeks and when rewatching scenes with @tophatcat459 I released a few things about the War

They (Tommy, Arthur, John, Freddie, Danny, Barney and Jeremiah) talk about being a team together but if you look at some of their wikis and what you see on the show they're also separated

So I've decided that they all joined and were send to Warwickshire Yeomanry Regiment and after the whole "In the Bleak Midwinter" they were given medals and separated

Tommy, Freddie, Danny and apparently Arthur all became Clay Kickers

John stayed with the Warwickshire Yeomanry and Barney trained with the Marines as a sniper

Then I found out that Jeremiah was born in the 1870s, so is closer to Charlie Strong's age. Which begs the question, if Jeremiah fought, would Charlie have?

"Wait! Thomas?! Was that....?!"

He ignored his brother and everyone else who suddenly noticed her walking through the building and he left the place completely with her to stop the rumors and weird glares towards her.

~~~

"Think about it, Thomas." She rolled her neck as she fixed the collar of her clothing before hiding her face in the shadow of the cloak's hood again. "You won't be able to hide them any other way."

Thomas sighed and watched her disappear into a dark alley to his left after she was done talking. He didn't want to agree with her plans, but knew she had a point.

It was the only way to stay safe from the Copper.

Frustrated, Thomas put more speed behind his walking pace and decided to go and find Danny Whizzbang. Danny was a former comrade of the blue eyed man and a loyal member of the Peaky Blinders, but after the war, the poor comrade began to suffer from violent psychotic episodes where he believed he was still at war. The traumatic hallucinations caused him to unwittingly kill an Italian man who appeared to have strong criminal ties and that created a quarrel. There were already a lot of relatives who prayed for the crazy man's death so Danny actually seemed like a good choice to execute his plan with.

It took a few hours, but he eventually found his friends and they were now walking on the docks side by side, two Italians watching them to confirm Danny would be death at the end of this.

"Danny, as you know, the man you killed was Italian." The nervous man walked with his cap in his hands, fidgeting with it a little. "And those two men over there are his brothers. If I let the Italians do this, Danny, they'll cut off your manhood and let you drain. That's how those bastards do things. So, to stop a war breaking out between us and the Italians, and to save you from their barbarity.... I said I would dispatch you myself. They are here to witness."

The two brothers were exhaling the smoke of their cigarettes as they watched Danny and Thomas from the opposite side of the canal.

"I died over there anyway, Tommy, I left my fucking brains the the mud." The blue eyed man walked around his comrade to position himself behind him while Danny talked, his voice was shaking from the anxiety.

"You have any last requests, comrade?" Danny looked over his shoulder at his friend before turning around completely to face him.

"You'll look out for my Rosie and my boys." He pointed at Thomas and his eyes started to water, his lip trembling. "See they get apprenticeship. At the BSA factory or the Austin. And they'll make foremen. I know they will. Just ordinary. Just ordinary men. And they won't get told to do that he shit, the shit, the shit that we got told to do."

His friend before him stayed quiet and watched his feet. Thomas was pretty heartless when it came to things like this.... but he had fought alongside this man, survived alongside this man.

Plus it had to look real, he had to make Danny believe he was truly going to kill him.

"I suppose I ought to pray now. Those fucking guns, they blew God right out of my head." The crying man mumbled and then looked up, spotting a boat. "Is that boat for me?"

"We have to get your body out of the city, Danny. This new copper, you know~...."

"Don't bury me anywhere there's mud. Okay? Promise me. Bury me on a hill. And tell Rosie where." He interrupted Thomas.

"You were a good man and a good soldier." Thomas held out his hand with confidence and Danny took it, shaking his head firmly.

"Yes, Sergeant Major." He replied and put on his cap, turning around while Thomas aimed the gun at the back of his head in the meantime.

"In the bleak midwinter." Thomas spoke with a small tone of emotion in his voice and pulled the trigger,  the body of his friend falling limp into the boat and the two brothers on the opposite side satisfied. However, they weren't the only ones who had watched the scene. A broad and tall man had also secretly watched Thomas and Danny and was now planning on leaving so he could spread the words to his boss, until Thomas suddenly ended up in front of him. He had the same revolver he had fake killed Danny with still in his hands and fired a warning's shot so the familiar man would stop walking. "I will tell your boss it myself, understood?"

"My apologies, but I don't think so." The tall dark skinned man hissed while crossing his arms and raising his brow. Thomas knew he was one of the highest ranked people in his boss's gang and so he wasn't going to hurt him. If he did, it would mean goodbye to the partnership he had accepted just a few seconds ago. Thomas shrugged it off while sliding his pistol in its holster again, grabbing and lighting a cigarette up instead while already spotting his partner appearing from behind the other man.

"Mr. Jones, I appreciate your worries, but it's fine. I've seen what happened and I came to talk to Mr. Shelby in person." Melaina patted the muscular man on his back and he gave her a simple nod return, his body posture relaxing a little again while he turned around, ready to go back to her hideout. "You should take a day off." She suggested and he looked at her from over his shoulder, shaking his head.

"I still have much work to do...." He sighed and turned his head back before he started to walk off.

"I'm your boss, I'll take it over from here. Just go and have that day off, Isaac!" She shouted after him and the man smiled before disappearing. Now you, come on, let's go." She looked at Thomas.

"To where?" He narrowed his eyes.

"My home."
