Summary
/He blushes in just about the prettiest shade of pink Alfie has ever seen, and he fucking knows that this, this Tommy, right, he is truly going to be a handful, innit./
Tommy Shelby lands in the hospital with a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and Alfie Solomons is a physiotherapist - stuff happens.
This is my first Modern!AU for Peaky Blinders, and I am a bit nervous about it so please be kind :)
Prioritized this fic based on a poll - the people of Tumblr have spoken. Have another brain injury Tommy and caretaker Alfie fic.
(Let's be honest, hurt/comfort Tofie is simply the best, isn't it?)
I hope you enjoy![Title taken from Kaveh Akbar's poem "Pilgrim Bell"]

Summary
Thomas is haunted by guilt. Once a family man, he lost everything when his loved ones were imprisoned. Now he drifts through life burdened by failure, unable to change the past or grasp a future where he sets things right. The Midland Hotel offers a brief escape in mechanical, meaningless encounters that dull his regret.

Loretta is always careful. Her florist shop is a mask, a front that keeps the women upstairs safe, but illusions are fragile. One crack, one mistake, one man, and everything she’s built could come crashing down. -

Summary
Love doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it finds you like wildflowers—delicate, persistent, and blooming quietly in the rain.
Thomas Shelby wasn't sure how it happened—May Carlton's younger sister ended up calming the storm that he was.
It was a soft bud of attraction, still green and little, but with a little rain, every bud blooms.

Summary
”Aristocrats and gangsters have a lot in common.
They’re both selfish, get bored easily, and have access to wads of cash they didn’t work honestly to get and neither have any interest in bourgeois rules or morality.”So when Thomas Shelby manages to marry into that world, to a woman whose blood is almost as blue as that cursed sapphire of his, a perfect match is the only result one could expect, a stunning result for success.
Well...
...on the outside, at least.

Summary
"How can you be so miserable around flowers? they're beautiful," Her father asked
"Because flowers die, much like everything else. They're beautiful for a moment and then you're throwing them away like nothing and it's a constant reminder."
Valerie knew she was supposed to leave London, and she knew she wanted to leave, and it seemed any little thing would make its way into her con’s list for the city she called home. It wasn’t what she saw her life becoming; working in her parent’s flower shop until her dying days like her mother. She saw bigger things for herself. She just didn't expect her life to become what it did, and she certainly didn't expect someone to have as much of an impact and position in her life as he did.

Summary
This writing picks up after Season 6. Tommy Shelby is alive and contemplating his next step. His re-entry into life. Tom decides to begin at Margate, and consult his dead but alive friend, Alfie Solomons. Tom wants to "do his research" before just walking into the lives of those who love him. He is hoping for a somewhat objective and certainly detached point of view--not looking for emotion, just facts. It begins with a visit to Margate and a conversation between Tommy and Alfie.
