• K’s ‘Halfway to 2K’ Celebration •
Thank you so very much for 1.5K Followers!
I never thought that when I started writing again that this blog would become so big, and that my stories would be read by so many people. The amount of support that I get absolutely blows my mind each and every day that I log onto this site. I don’t think I would be writing still if y’all hadn’t been so nice to me. It really means a lot. ☺️💕
So......for my 1K follower celebration, I took on some blurb requests and tried my best for y’all. Now, for my ‘halfway to 2K’ celebration, I figured I’d ask for some of the amazing writers within the Peaky community to join in and celebrate with me.
I’ve decided to organize a little celebration that I will go into detail about below the cut, so if you’re interested, please tap/click on the ‘keep reading’ so you can learn what it’s about. I really hope that you’d want to celebrate with me!!
If you’re not interested, thank you so much, again, for following me and/or reading my stories. You are truly the reason why this blog is still alive. 🥰❤️
**For Updated Choices and Finished Creations, check this post out!
First off, thanks so much for taking interest in my celebration! It means the world to me that you’d want to join in!
So I’m gonna start off by saying that this beautiful idea comes from what Lily ( @/retromafia ) decided to do for her latest celebration. I absolutely love music, and, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I love to base stories off of songs that I get inspired by...so when I was thinking about what to do for a celebration, my mind went to this idea almost immediately.
Listed below are a bunch of songs that I’m in love with/have been listening to a lot recently (I may have gone a bit overboard, I know). I feel like these songs would lend themselves well to writing (particularly with peaky), and I hope that you find the same.
So...if you’d still like to participate:
first off, pick a song. Then pick a character(s) you’d like to write with (it can be any character from the show — only Peaky Blinders though, please). You can use a show pairing, OC, or a reader for your story...I’m open to all ideas. If you plan to write something that’s NSFW (18+), please make sure that you put the proper warnings (and that you are 18+)! Finally: Send me a message with the song and the character you’re going to be writing with!
- Because I have so many songs listed here, I hope that you’ll be able to find one that will strike inspiration. If you absolutely, positively want to use a song of your choice, please send me a message with the title and artist first. I’d really love for you to pick one of mine, but I will be open to suggestions.
- I’ve gone back and forth between how many people can use the same song. I think that I’m going to allow two (2) people per song, but I’d hope that you might find interest in one that has no names under it first...if that makes sense. I’d like to see as many songs on the list used as possible. Also, you’re more than welcome to choose more than one song ... in fact, choose as many as you’d like!
If you’re not a fic writer, but you’d still like to participate: I’d be happy to accept moodboards or edits, or whatever else you may want to create. If this applies to you, please make sure that you send me a message letting me know what you’ll be creating and what song you’ll be using.
**You don’t have to be following me to join in on the fun — everyone’s welcome here!**
There is no deadline for these creations to be submitted by — let your creativity flow free!
Please make sure that you tag me in your work so that I can see it!
Alright...let’s get into the songs now. I’ve listed them in alphabetical order. I hope you find one that interests you! 😊

The Fastest Growing Areas in the DMV Region!
A booming job market, a thriving cultural and entertainment scene, diverse cultures – for these reasons and many more, the DMV (Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area continues to grow. Metropolitan Washington is one of the most educated and affluent places in the U.S., and housing construction can barely keep up with population and job growth. The whole region is growing, but what particular areas are seeing the biggest surge?
Virginia
According to the most recent census data, the three fastest growing DMV cities in Virginia are:
Purcellville
Population: 10,063
Growth in the past decade: 41.7%
Located in Loudoun County, Purcellville’s small town charm is particularly appealing to families. Although it doesn’t have as many shopping options that a larger city offers, its dining options are appealing, and the town is a great departure point for surrounding wineries, farms, and countryside adventures.
Manassas Park
Population: 17,548
Growth in the past decade: 33%
Manassas Park is full of historic buildings that house restaurants, bars, and shops. The Amtrack Station and the Manassas Regional Airport make this city a good launching location for travel. Located in Prince William County, Manassas Park has housing that ranges from rental apartments to a broad range of single family homes.
Leesburg
Population: 53,731
Growth in the past decade: 32%
Historic Leesburg is Loudoun County’s seat. It is located at the base of Catoctin Mountain, 33 miles northwest of D.C., and is the northwestern terminus of the Dulles Greenway, a private toll road that connects to the Dulles Toll Road at Washington Dulles International Airport, making it a convenient place for travelers to live.
Maryland
The suburbs of Maryland that have seen the largest growth include Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Frederick.
Rockville
Population: 68,155
Growth in the past decade: 16.9%
Montgomery County’s seat, Rockville, is one of the largest communities in Maryland. It’s also one of the state’s oldest cities – although driving through it’s hard to tell. Shopping, dining, and entertainment options are abundant. This vibrant community has indoor and outdoor activities geared toward all ages and interests.
Gaithersburg
Population: 67,878
Growth in the past decade: 16.7%
Rockville’s neighbor, Gaithersburg, also has plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. And this modern city’s historical sites include the Clara Barton House (the founder of the American Red Cross) and Glen Echo Park – a former amusement park turned artist collective.
Frederick
Population: 71,843
Growth in the past decade: 12.7%
A little less than an hour north of D.C., Frederick is “where hip meets historic.” Wineries, orchards, breweries, and hiking trails abound. The average commuting time is higher than other DMV areas, since Frederick is a bit further out, but housing is more affordable which may make the commute worth it.
Washington, D.C.
The already densely-populated Washington, D.C. has seen staggering growth in its housing market over the last decade. Some neighborhoods are considered “transitioning,” shifting toward younger, more affluent residents. Many of the new residents are single and looking for a condo in a trendy or more affordable transitioning neighborhood. Here are a handful of fast-growing neighborhoods in D.C.
NoMa
Growth in the past decade: 13.7%
This culturally diverse neighborhood in Adams Morgan is known for eclectic dining and nightlife. Union Market food hall, Gallaudet University, and National Public Radio are located in this area.
Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard
Growth in the past decade: 12.4%
This 500-acre neighborhood situated between I-395 and the Anacostia River offers urban-minded residents an active community with year-round recreation, from big-league sporting events to riverfront parks, restaurants, and other retail.
Eckington
Growth in the past decade: 11%
This neighborhood is located one mile southeast of Howard University and is the home of Sirius XM Radio. The area is described as having an urban-suburban mix feel where residents can enjoy many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and parks.
Shaw
Growth in the past decade: 6.8%
This rapidly developing downtown zone is one of DC’s oldest neighborhoods, but now has a hip shopping and food scene. Situated east of the U Street corridor, this section is sometimes called “Black Broadway” from the time when acts like Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway performed at local venues. Now, the legendary 9:30 Club also rocks this neighborhood.
Southwest & The Wharf
Growth in the past decade: 6.7%
Houseboats – also called “liveaboards” – are one way people choose to reside in this area. The Wharf also boasts the nation’s longest continually operating open-air fish market. Waterfront dining and entertainment are contributing to this neighborhood becoming one of DC’s hottest.
Mount Vernon Square
Growth in the past decade: 5 to 7.9%
This is one of DC’s most attractive and flourishing neighborhoods. The beautiful Beaux-Arts Carnegie Library holds exhibit space for the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., and the neighborhood also has the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Brookland/Edgewood
Growth in the past decade: 4.3% to 7.5%
An abundance of Catholic churches – and Catholic University – has given Brookland the nickname “Little Rome.” The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is also located here; this is the largest Roman Catholic Church in North America. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with charming older homes and a central arts zone.
