An Evening at Arrow House

I've reached 2K followers, darlings! To thrill my dark little heart ❤, will you accept my invitation for some devilish fun? I'll begin with a brief story of why we're here.

Tommy has eloped with a young bride the family has deemed untrustworthy from reputable sources. The couple has just returned from their honeymoon in Paris and now the new Mrs. Shelby would like to meet those closest to him. The couple spares no expense for their lovely housewarming party, but it's ill-fated from the beginning as those Tommy holds near and dear try to run her off with tales of horror. Every room holds a surprise and each guest a secret, but what could they be?

That's where you come into play! Can we get Mrs. Shelby to crack under the weight of our deviousness? Let's try, it will be such fun!

🔪 Write a short fic for a character or a room within Arrow House that would frighten the poor Mrs. Shelby into leaving.

💋 Send an ask for a secret about a guest in attendance and I'll write you a blurb about them that will make your hair stand on end.

🔪 Make a moodboard for me about the evening, the darker the better!

💋 Send an ask requesting inspo for a room and/or guest (with or w/out weapon just like Cluedo!!) moodboard.

🔪 Suggest a song or playlist for the evening bc we'll need music!

** All OCs welcome to join in the fun!!**

This celebration is now CLOSED. You can read all finished work HERE.

I wrote this for my 1.5k follower celebration, I hope you like it!

It is a Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x gn!reader blurb, requested by @the-makingsofgreatness.

The prompt requested is: kissing in a stairwell, giving them an artificial height difference.

Warnings: this isn’t proofread by someone else, other than that none

Maybe it sounded weird, but some of your favorite memories between you and your boyfriend Jake Seresin were the moments in which you had to say goodbye for a little while.

It didn’t make sense, because you loved spending time with him more than anything, but the display of affection when saying goodbye were your favorite moments of intimacy, for sure.

Jake was always so gentle with you, especially when he had to leave, his hands ghosting over your back, arms or face lovingly.

You always missed him far too much, but the way he kissed you and held you close, and the way he whispered promises of your future into your ear or against your lips did more than make up for it.

Jake had to leave on a mission for at least a few weeks, which filled you with sadness and longing already.

Your steps grew heavier as you made your way to him, seeing him amongst the other sailors, but Jake’s hopeful and consoling demeanor had your spirits up in no time.

The two of you spent a little while talking about your job and then about what he could tell you about the mission, Jake reassured you every step of the way.

A smile graced your face when you turned around to leave, the security of knowing how sure Jake was of you boosting your mood and confidence.

You were just taking the first step of the stairs when Jake shouted after you, his voice and the word ‘baby’ echoing through the corridor.

Jake was hurrying towards you, his eyes searching your face for the last time in a while, and a more intimate version of his million dollar smile was once again on his lips.

You reached out instinctively and let your fingers brush over the side of his face as Jake pulled you closer by your waist.

Whereas you were normally smaller than him you had an added height by the stairs that let you reach his face much easier, and let you kiss him easier as well.

Jake realized that too as he let his eyes take in your face for a few seconds before he leaned closer, even lifting his chin a little so he could connect your lips.

The kiss was one of the most loving ones you had ever shared and you were both smiling when you broke apart, your foreheads leaning against each other as you just breathed, savoring each other’s presence.

Jake was probably already late but he took his time, pecking your lips once again.

“I love you,” he whispered one last time before he turned away and rushed back to where he came from.

Unlike the other Anon, I don't believe the fandom has "died", maybe people have moved on and just posting less content because the show has ended. I still reckon there's still those out there creating content, reblogging, making gifs etc for the fandom. It's not necessarily died.

It's just because people's interests may have changed. I say check the peaky tags, I reckon there's still content creators and rebloggers and people who talk about the show etc still out there. It's not dead. It's just quieter.

Yeah well at first I was sad when the other anon told me, but then I just started thinking and there’s a few people on here still who are very much active. Like in the last few days I’ve seen @zablife, @cillmequick @theshelbyslimited @notyour-valentine @the-makingsofgreatness @runnning-outof-time @vintunnavaa @solomons-finest-rum @peakyswritings @look-at-the-soul be active on here, just to name a few ❤️

Bit it was bound to happen, people move on, especially after a series ends. But I comfort myself with the idea that some people and blogs never die and that, without a doubt, new people are gonna be joining the fandom. It might not get as big, but it can still be good 😊

the sin factor 14/?

masterlist

Warnings: mentions of murder, nothing too bad, other than that i don’t think there’s anything that needs a warning but let me know if there is

Summary: It’s in the eyes, too, the same ambition and clawing desperation to be more, get more, hidden behind a carefully blank stare. He also knows that Duke has something Tommy never had although it’s more likely that it’s the other way around, because Tommy has lines that he won’t cross for reasons that are his own. Duke has no such reservations.

tagging: @zablife @the-makingsofgreatness @peakyrogers @hb-writes @caelys (let me know if you want to be added on or taken off)

The thing is, Tommy had assumed that eventually he would come to think of the boy as his son and not a stranger with eyes that looked too much like his own for comfort. It had been a foolish assumption, he knows that now, and yet he still can’t quite shake the idea. If everything had happened sooner, if he’d made an effort years ago, would it have stopped everything from happening? The thoughts turn over and over in his mind like a never-ending self imposed torture. Would it have stopped this? What was it that made Duke the way he was, something unspoken and hidden from his childhood, or was it something in their bloodline that did it?

“You look unwell, are you ill?”

From anyone else the words might’ve been concerned, but any warmth they might’ve held is smothered underneath the utterly blank voice they’re spoken in. Duke stares at him with eyes that might as well be carved from ice for all the coldness they hold within them. The gaze makes him feel like he’s underneath a microscope, being studied for purposes he’s not privy to, and for the first time he understands why people are so unsettled by his own stare.

“There’s no shame in declining an invitation. Especially from someone like Oswald Mosley,” Duke says, still monotone, and if it wasn’t for the slight twitch of fingers Tommy might think he was completely unaffected by where they’re going. “The world is slowly going to hell and people are hosting parties like if they ignore it hard enough it won’t happen.

“Duke-“

“Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll have an interesting night,” Duke says, turning to look out the window at the crowds gathering outside the ostentatious club, still with that blank mask concealing what he’s thinking.

He watches Duke ignore Isiah watching him in the rear view mirror. It had been Ada’s idea, keeping Isiah close at hand, because where one goes the other swiftly follows, but something about it makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. It means they’re both close enough to strike if that’s what they’ve been planning, and he knows they’ve been planning something. Neither of them have been seen much the past week and normally that would be a comfort, so why does it feel like he’s walking into his own execution chamber?

There’s no point in ordering Isiah to stay with the car and so he doesn’t even bother, turning away when Isiah steps up behind Duke like a silent shadow, glaring at anyone who gets too close. Thankfully not many people do, though whether they’re deterred by Isiah’s glares or the dead-eyed look on Duke’s face is impossible to tell. The part of Tommy that wants to keep Duke away from Mosley and his mistress, to minimise any collateral damage that could happen, wars with the small part of him that wants to stand back and see what happens.

“Try to look less like you’re going to slit everyone’s throats,” he says quietly, and if he hadn’t been watching so closely he would’ve missed the minute switches in Duke’s face. He might’ve thought they were two different people entirely, had he not seen it for himself. Isiah laughs and conceals it, poorly, behind a cough.

“I would never slit everyone’s throats,” Duke says, smiling like he doesn’t have a care in the world, “It’s a bitch to clean out of clothes and these are new.” It’s not comforting, but he’ll take it.

***

Isiah watches from one of the small tables as Duke shakes Mosley’s hand, smiling like he’s being paid to do it, like it doesn’t make him want to claw his own skin off. It’s impressive how easily he manages to hide it. He’s too far away to hear much of the conversation but there’s no point in getting any closer. It would look suspicious, for one, and he’ll be hearing all about it later once they finally get away from here.

He doesn’t turn to look when he feels someone stop beside him. Isiah had already seen her as soon as they stepped inside.

“Ms. Nelson. I heard about what happened to your husband. I imagine it was quite a shock, finding him like that,” Isiah says, and he can practically feel the rage rolling off her like it’s something tangible. Sooner or later, Isiah’s money is on sooner, she’ll say something she won’t be able to take back.

“Tell me, is it you calling the shots, or do you let Tommy Shelby’s son fu-“

If anyone were to look at them, all they’d see is a young couple getting a little closer than proper for such a public spot, not scandalous enough for someone to say anything but enough that they’d make their assumptions and keep their distance. He tightens his arm around Gina’s waist slowly, dragging her closer under the guise of young love or whatever inane story people will decide on if they’re seen, until it’s far past the point of comfort and she digs her fingernails into his wrist. Isiah knows the knife is sharp because he’d sharpened it himself, and he doesn’t bother being gentle when he holds the blade of it against her stomach underneath the table, hidden from view.

The smell of her perfume is enough to make him sick.

“Baby, if you think your family name is enough to deter me from opening you up all over this freshly polished floor, I’d suggest you rethink that and shut your fucking mouth.”

“Baby, if you think I’m scared of you, I’d suggest-“

He’ll laugh about it later, the way Gina shrinks into herself when she sees Duke reach around her to pick up her forgotten drink, staring at her unblinkingly as he downs it in one smooth movement. They’re attracting more attention now, especially after Duke’s moves in on Gina’s other side, the two of them boxing her between them, and she flinches when Duke reaches out to tuck her hair back behind her ear.

“Do you want to know a secret, Gina?” Duke draws the name out mockingly, looking her over for a few quick seconds before he reaches down and pulls her hand away from Isiah’s wrist, eyes flashing when he feels the wetness of blood there. Isiah almost wants her nails to have left permanent marks behind, just so he can watch what Duke does to her for it. “You’re so close to being right. I do call the shots, so you get a point for guessing that, but you know what that means? All I have to do is say the word and he’d use that frankly beautiful knife to gut you like a fish. I’m tempted to let him, all that red would be spectacular against all this marble, don’t you think?”

Isiah sees Tommy looking at them from across the room, and the carefully blank look on his face is so similar to his son’s that it’s amusing to see. Isiah shakes his head and watches until Tommy deliberately turns his back, and he can see that the inaction takes a toll, even if it is Gina they’ve got trapped between their bodies.

“Then afterwards, when everyone has all run away and this place is empty, he wouldn’t think twice about fucking me in the blood you leave behind if I asked him to, because unlike you, I have a husband that truly would do anything for me. You don’t even have a husband anymore. He didn’t even call for you while I was spilling his blood all over my shoes.”

“Husband?”

Isiah isn’t expecting the box that Duke pulls out of his pocket, or the smile Duke sends him, one of the rare real ones and not just the one he uses when he’s hiding who he really is. He’s not expecting the familiar rings inside.

“Your father gave them to me, I’ve been waiting for the right time.”

“And this is the right time?”

Gina has gone silent, probably from the knife digging further into her stomach, but maybe from the shock of what’s happening right now. It could go either way.

“We can never make it official, I know that, but I know how I feel, and I’m sick of pretending to care what everyone else might think. Will you-“

“Love, as soon as I saw you, I knew I’d follow you anywhere, and if I had to do it all over again I still wouldn’t change a thing.”

The ring feels right on his finger, like belonging and home and acceptance all at once. He doesn’t even care about anyone that might be looking when he steps around Gina to cup his hands around Duke’s face, looking down at him. It’s a risk, even above all the violence and the bloodshed the two of them are personally responsible for, and he knows they’re both going to be subjected to a lecture on the way home but he can’t bring himself to care.

“You’re my reason, baby.”

#i'm finally back baby #i can't remember how long its been since i wrote anything for this but it's been a while #originally this was supposed to be 100% tommy's pov but it got away from me in the second half #i actually had more of a large-scale event planned but i changed my mind #so no one dies in this part but originally there was going to be a lot of people being killed #instead you get this twisted and very questionable fluff #i hope its as good to other people as it was to me because i had a blast writing this one #although the dialogue at the end fought me so hard #it just did not want to cooperate with me #anyway yeah enjoy #peaky blinders #peaky blinders fics #tommy shelby #duke shelby #isiah jesus #gina gray #duke shelby x isiah jesus #duke x isiah #the sin factor

I wrote this for my 1.5k follower celebration, I hope you like it!

It is a young!Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky x gn!reader blurb, requested by @angstyjellybean.

Thank you @footprintsinthesxnd for proofreading!

The prompt requested is: accidentally knocking your head into someone’s chin.

Warnings: none

You were so madly in love with your boyfriend, and vice versa, that even a day spent in bed looked appealing to you both.

Tom generally had a lot of work to do and you weren’t exactly lazy either, so every chance you had to be together was taken serious- and wholeheartedly.

You liked to be active and adventurous, going hiking, rock climbing or even surfing whenever the weather allowed.

Your favorite way of spending time together though was with his arms wrapped around you, preferably in bed.

He was so strong but also gentle, the weight of his arms just enough to keep you grounded, and the way his thumb ran over your skin soothingly always causing goosebumps to erupt in its wake.

You usually slept with your head on his chest but you also enjoyed whenever you were conscious enough to cherish the feeling, the warmth of his body below yours and the steady rising and falling of his chest below you calmed you instantly.

You could also feel him move his head so his nose was pressed to your hair, inhaling your natural smell as well as your shampoo.

It always filled you with pride whenever he did it because it meant that he too was drawing comfort from you.

The two of you liked to watch tv like that, though neither of you properly listened when in that state, or you talked about anything and everything, rather humming and whispering than that your voices had actual volume.

You loved the quiet moments, and you knew Tom cherished them too.

With how busy the two of you were at work you really loved the quiet moments, because you could spend them with each other.

You spent hours watching tv like that, letting yourself calm down and almost falling asleep in the process.

Your eyes were falling shut repeatedly before Tom addressed you, a soft mumble leaving his lips as his thumb gently grazed your arm.

“Hey, honey?” He asked, and you turned to look at him, sitting up just as he shifted in his seat, your head connecting with his chin as the two of you let out simultaneous cries of surprise.

You held your forehead for a second but the moment your eyes met Tom’s the two of you broke out into laughter.

After a few seconds you both settled down, sitting there facing each other.

Tom took your hands in his and just took time to look at you, his eyes warm and his gaze loving.

He chuckled softly before shaking his head, his eyes still not leaving yours.

“I just wanted to ask you to marry me,” he whispered, and after a nod from you the two of you again started laughing.
