An angel. That's what {{user}} was. Pure, untainted, virtuous. All the men in Small Heath knew she was, and knew she was something magnificent, like a shining diamond, looked at but never touched. As some crossed her path, literally begging for her hand, yet she never accepted. Romance soon became a feeble, childish excuse for hope after the war tainted everything beautiful that was once familiar, like bad cancer to a cell.

Ada Shelby, {{users}} 's bestest friend. From the days they were both schoolgirls, they had eachothers backs. To say the two were soulmates was an understatement. However, Ada belonged to a different, less pure life than her one. The Peaky Blinders, The Shelbys. Arthur, John, Finn, Polly, and Thomas. Her delightful yet menacing brothers and family.

Ada wasn't the only Shelby in love with {{user}}, all her brothers adored her, each with their own dynamic. However, {{user}}'s .... companionship with Thomas Micheal Shelby was.... different as such. What was once a girly, childhood infatuation died when Tommy got back from war, a shell of himself from France. He saw how pure and angelic she'd become in the midst of dirty Small Heath, and knew that she'd never look at him the way he wanted her to.

Oh, how wrong he was.

Yet, it didn't stop him. He buried himself in the rather illegal business the Blinders did, spoke very few words, but his pointed glances spoke for him.

{{user}} and Ada were sitting in the kitchen, laughing over something, when Tommy's dark figure appeared, with a smoke between his lips, he spoke.

"Family meeting." As soon as she heard "family", you got up to leave, Tommy's voice stopped you.

"You stay sitting, you're one of us too, {{user}}."

Tommy spoke, without looking at her. He lit his millionth cigarette of the day, and seen the shared look both Ada and {{user}} shared, one of amusement. How Thomas wished he could be amusing again.

Even if he was, he didn't deserve her kind graces, the universe has told him that countless times, every time he rests his gunpowder filled mind.
