Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | ?

Full of plans for the family's future, Tommy Shelby makes sure to conclude his five year service on a very special day, the same day his big brother Arthur's coming home.

Best laid plans, etc; then Tommy takes a half-thought detour on his way home.

A Modern AU take on Tommy's immediate return from military service, and the period between his demobilisation and the start of S1.

#my writing #peaky blinders #peaky blinders fanfic #tommy x lizzie #lizzie stark #look i would say 'just trust me'#but you probably shouldn't trust me XD #the first (full) draft of this story also has mosley in it #-> see that melodrama tag #next chapter: homecoming/the wider theme and cast introduction #my terror at the possible size of this thing #probably the opposite of what lizzie thought during this chapter tbh #easter egg: condoms mostly fall off if the dude is not properly hard or the condom is too large #i do feel like tagging this cringe but only in the sense that i hope to occasionally induce the delightful sensation of 'oh no you didn't'#the mimetic nature of circling through the same interlocked typology of scenes is absolutely fascinating to me though #the number of times i tried to conceptualise this as *not* about the similar sort of personal drama in-season and failed #tommy and his close companions caught in an endless time loop of the same shit happening over and over
