#Lily 🌼

[brummiereader]

Ohhh, my heart ❤️😩! This was absolutely beautiful Lee, I'm speechless.

The way you captured Tommy and Lily's grief is so accurate to any parent having lost a child (although for me not the same degree of loss as Tommy and Lily's, I have personally had pregnancy losses). It's raw, unforgiving and soul destroying. This was so powerful to read. Tommy delving in to his own grief is not something we usually see men do, especially not men from his generation, and you wrote it so well, you can feel his torment and desperation to have his wife come back to him. I know this sounds weird to say but hearing about Tommy's pain was almost a relief, it took the pressure off hearing about Lily's, hers pulls you down into a feeling of dread and despair with no light at the end on tunnel, where Tommy's grief has hope and the want for calmer times. I honestly can't praise your writing enough, you have an exceptional way of writing characters feelings, there's so much empathy and care written in your words. It's like you are looking out for them, holding their hand as you guide them through your story ❤️.

“Yes, sir. Only open when the wind blows. Or as my mum used to tell us —fairy folk hid in the petals and closed them up when it threatened to rain,” Please...i want this to be true because that made me smile so much ❤️. It's just wonderful 🌼.

Honestly this story has really touched me, and you have given anyone that has gone through something similar hope that even through the darkest moments the Windflowers will reopen and peace will soon arrive, beautiful Lee absolutely beautiful, thank you ❤️❤️.

Windflowers

Tommy Shelby x Lily Shelby (OC, Tommy's wife)

Summary: A continuation of my fic, Lily, where we revisit Tommy and his wife a year after the death of their daughter. As Lily wakes from a nightmare Tommy is there to comfort her and they have a break thru in her recovery.

Author's Note: Requested by @jomarch-wannabe who wanted to read a fic about Tommy comforting someone after a nightmare. I decided to use my OC. I hope that's ok!

Warnings: drinking, PTSD, mention of child death

“You’ve brought her those every day for months. Why?” Tommy gestured wearily toward the white and black flowers, thinking how much they reminded him of funeral flowers. They were nothing like the cheerful pink tulips and red roses his wife had kept in the house before their daughter was taken from them. Why must the color be stolen from every corner of their lives, Tommy wondered. 

“Where streams his blood there blushing springs a rose and where a tear has dropped, a wind-flower blows,” Ada mused softly as she arranged the blossoms carefully in a vase. Turning to face her brother she explained. "These flowers only close at night and open in the morning. Like an anticipation of something soon to arrive.”

“What are you on about, eh?” Tommy asked, stamping out his cigarette in frustration. His head throbbed with a fresh headache, the first whisky of the day not doing enough to quell his growing fears about his wife’s condition.

"I thought Lily should have something to remind her of her strength," she said, holding Tommy’s gaze for a moment before reaching forward to give his hand a reassuring squeeze. 

As his sister’s hand slipped from his calloused fingertips, Tommy called out, “Ada, what if…”

But she interrupted, knowing all too well what trepidation he held close to his heart. “She’ll come back to you, Tom. Give her time,” she said quietly.

“She will,” Tommy agreed quickly. He paced toward his desk, stomping the thought out like burning embers of weakness he didn’t dare let catch fire.

There wasn’t anything anyone could do except wait for Lily to reemerge from the dense forest of her mind. She seemed to wander aimlessly about Arrow House as though in a dream, but when she slept she seemed to be fully conscious elsewhere, her facial expressions changing in her sleep. 

While she lay in repose, Tommy kept careful watch over her, noticing these small shifts of movement, wanting nothing more than to reach for her and stroke her cheek. He wondered in those moments if she might awaken and speak to him as she used to, looking up through heavy eyelids and smile when she realized how adoringly he gazed upon her. Would she blush and giggle as she did when they were first married, hearing him compliment her natural beauty?

That night as Tommy watched Frances gather his wife’s nightgown and slippers, he stared at the flowers on the bedside table. 

“The windflowers are lovely aren’t they, Mr. Shelby?,” she asked, making pleasant conversation. 

“Windflowers? Is that what they’re called?” he responded. 

“Yes, sir. Only open when the wind blows. Or as my mum used to tell us —fairy folk hid in the petals and closed them up when it threatened to rain,” she added with a chuckle, heading toward the bathroom to help Mrs. Shelby dress for bed.

Tommy smiled at the children’s tale, having heard similar stories in his youth of fairies and their world of twilight. For a moment he thought of sharing it with his daughter, a funny little bedtime story, and then he remembered her empty room at the end of the silent corridor. It was moments like those that made him lose breath, the unbearable ache taking him from joy to grief so suddenly he felt nauseous. Sitting forward on the bed, he placed his head in his hands to keep the room from swaying, waiting for his balance to return before descending the stairs in a panic.

It wasn’t until hours later, he returned to bed, properly numbed by the alcohol and stacks of paperwork. Lily slept, though he couldn’t quite tell if it was a peaceful slumber. She often moved about the mattress at night and currently she was laying across it so there was little room for Tommy. He didn’t mind, taking up a place in the armchair across from her to keep watch. He had only just sunk into the deep cushions when her lips parted in a shallow cry and Tommy lurched forward in fear, worried tonight might be a rare occasion for the doctor. 

Tommy placed a hand on the duvet to be closer to her, though he didn’t  dare touch her directly. In the early days that had sent Lily into a panic, setting off screaming and thrashing that could only be calmed by sedatives. Now Tommy was more cautious in his approach. However, tonight would be different. To his surprise, Lily’s demeanor was calm and contented as she seemed to be having a  pleasant dream. Her hand reached for something in the darkness and Tommy observed with awe, enchanted by her beautiful smile.

Then suddenly she recoiled and her body began to shake uncontrollably. Tommy froze, unsure what to do. Should he wake her or allow the dream to continue? Uncertain what she was seeing, he debated for a fraction of a second. When Lily began to toss and whimper painfully, he could not restrain himself any longer. He hadn’t been there when the Changrettas tortured his wife and daughter, but he was here now and he could comfort her. He had to try.

Sliding into bed beside his wife, he took her in his arms, smoothing back her hair as he hushed her. “Lily, darling, it’s me. You’re home. You’re safe,” he whispered to her as he rocked her. To his surprise she clung to him, fingers gripping him with brutal strength he didn’t know she possessed. Then her eyes opened, wild and frightened at first. 

Suddenly, she focused on him, seeing him for the first time in months. Eyes glistening with tears, her lip trembled. “T-tommy?” 

“Yes, yes,” Tommy replied, overwhelmed by the sound of his name on her lips once again. 

“I’m here. You’re safe with me,” he repeated as he kissed the top her head. “I love you, Lily,” he said, feeling tears stinging his eyes. Feeling her in his arms was a revelation, the solace he had been seeking all that time without knowing it. Had she really said his name or did he imagine it?

As they sat huddled together, the sun began to rise in the distance. For the first time Tommy noticed what Ada and Frances had told him. The flowers were opening slightly and leaning toward the light. As Lily stroked a hand down his chest, he felt hopeful. She had let him comfort her and she had said his name. He was sure of it now more than ever, she would return to him.

Ikr some of the links in my pinned post can’t be accessed so I’m literally so done with the app 🤡🤡 they should just leave it alone honestly, the updates are making it worse

I’m not sure which fics you’ve read but I would recommend the laundromat (not to sound like a total narcissist, its probably the work I’m most satisfied with tbh) and looking through people’s favourite it would be banquet but I’m not sure if you’re into that kind of kink so I would ask you to read the warnings first 🙏

IM EXCITED!!! i actually reblogged the laundromat (especially back when we weren’t still mutuals, i was actually looking for fics to read and i stumbled upon that fic and i can say, it really piqued my interest!!!) i really love the header and tbh im ok with the kinks 👀👀

what did capitalism doooo today

are you ready for this?? cause i have been in the airport for at least 2 days now (the travel is to much etc etc) so it’s gonna be long. i am not talking about capitalism like oh no! high end companies are expensive or some shit like that. i am talking about how companies have taken everything and monotized it. everything that comes in your mind is boom there we go price and ridiculous priced. for instance airports yeah? you have ur business classes and economy one (i am not saying there shouldn’t be a divide because it is what it is),,, however i remember when i travelled for the time internationally/nationally and i was barely five things were soo much different,, like even the walking lanes of the plane have gone soo much narrow (it seems stupid and dumb but hopefully ur getting what i’m saying). like even people aka the staff would treat you different depending on it. everything and each person has a price on them now more than ever which is personally soo scary and makes me wonder what the future actually holds.
