Writing the last chapter of Love's a state of mind, and damn i regret not making Eva be in the plot of inception.

But im also imagining robert fischer conjuring eva every time he's in danger in the dreams to everyone's annoyance.

I have two sons. Raising boys in this world is difficult. You do everything in your power to avoid raising proto-bullies, to avoid raising proto-misogynists, to avoid all the evil tropes of masculinity we are confronted by everyday.

🔴 Red- What is a trait your OC has that those around them don't see very often? Is it seen by a rare few or completely overlooked? 🟡 Yellow- What is something your OC wants but knows they can never have? How does it feel to never get this specific desire? For Eva, please!

Thanks lauren 😘 🖤🖤

Red: people actually forget that Eva is capable of evil(and violence) and that she can be scarier than the guy she is paired with if you piss her off lol

Tommy has seen it once, in the og fic and has wisely never brought it up again. Jack took her to murder the American soldiers who killed her parents as their second date. And Luca kinda wins his vendetta because she drove Tommy to suicide by making him kill Lizzie, getting mrs ross to avenge her son by killing arthur and convincing him his family was turning against him all the while luca picked them off like flies.

Eva chooses to be good-ish because when she goes dark, there is no line she won't cross.

Yellow: eva desperately wants to be normal lol.

She was born to a filthy rich family with psychic abilities that manipulated the government and the economy for centuries in mexico, was baptized by the pope and was born in the sistine chapel, during a dictatorship that led to a 20 year revolution. Had her childhood home pillaged by american soldiers in the occupation of veracruz of 1914, was a political hostage for a week a year before that, became an Adelita(soldadera/female member of the army) in pancho villas army at 16, spying on the dictator while dating his son at age 21 (and havibg a secret romance with antonia who was engaged to her cousin)then was smuggled out of mexico 6 months into her house arrest(and forced sobriety)for treason which led to her meeting tommy in small heath while taking care of her senile romani grandma. Or in other fics, married a gangster she met once at the opera(luca) or was arranged to marry a millionaire for a green card after desecrating a confessional(jack)

Absolutely nothing in her life is normal amd she'd kill to be a normal person for a day atleast

The Fabulous Miss Shelby

Part one

Luca Changretta x Shelby sister

CW: mentions of an abortion

Gif by @x-changretta-x

In the beginning, the Shelbys and the Changrettas were not enemies.

They weren’t friends, but they weren’t enemies.

Occasionally Polly fucked Luca, the boys would go out for drinks with Angel and you and Ada would get nice clothes from Audrey’s nieces while she and mama talked.

But then things changed, Polly got married to Michael Gray after Luca was banished to New York, the boys had a falling out with Angel and you and Ada had to take care of Finn after mama died and papa left.

Before you knew it you were in your twenties and accepting an invitation to some Changretta’s wedding just to avoid being rude.

No need to piss off the wops, Tommy had said after ordering you to go by your lonesome while he pines for the mousy bitch who nearly got them all killed.

“Long time no see.” Luca said as he tried making conversation with you.

You were in a foul mood, but the Italians had great food and drinks and maybe, just maybe one of them would take you to their place and return you with a limp later tomorrow.

Would it be too weird to fuck your aunt’s former boyfriend?

It was only a six-year age difference, surely it wasn’t that bad. And Polly had moved on and you hoped he had to.

“Nearly a decade, Luca. John could’ve been a grandfather had you taken longer.” You joke and you feel like the stupid teenager who used to have the biggest crush on Polly’s one time boyfriend.

“or you could’ve been married.” He adds and she tries not to choke on her wine.

One thing leads to another and now you are running off to New York just to see him.

Your brothers don’t know anything about this, no they just think you’ve decided to go on holiday with a friend.

A friend with money and connections and great skill with his cock.

“We could get married, amore, our families aren’t enemies. If you become my wife, our families could rule America and England together.” He says as the two of you lounge naked in tangled silk sheets.

You already lie and say you are husband and wife, why not make it true?

“They wouldn’t agree, you know that, my love.” You say knowing it will never happen.

“I could do some pest control and give them the Rat’s head on a platter, will that make them agree, tesoro?” he asks kissing you again.

As tempting as Grace’s justified murder is, you know that would make Tommy say no.

He loved her.

Just like Nathaniel in the Sandman loved Olympia thinking she was real.

It was pathetic really.

“No, you know how she crowed about Tommy still being in love with her last night. Tommy’s always been a fool when it comes to love and fucking.” You shook your head hating this turn of conversation.

Besides. You were free and would remain so. You loved Luca, but you were never going to be a man’s wife.

That had been why you went to the woman who Polly knows instead of telling Luca you had gotten pregnant during that night a year ago.

“Aren’t we all fools in love.” He said with that stupid grin.

Maybe you are, you think, I am different.

You were the fabulous Miss Shelby, the one who doesn’t suffer from the Achilles heel your siblings have.

Arthur had Linda, Tommy had Grace, Ada had Freddie, John had Martha and now Esme and you would be damned if you followed suit.

This way was better.

It’s 1922 when Luca suprises you at the Derby.

“He doesn’t love you anymore, he’s marrying a woman named May Carlton.” You tell Grace a truth Tommy told you this morning.

Tommy was planning on courting May in truth, he’d asked for advice and you told him he’d find no better woman than her.

That night with Grace was a slip up, a fuck up he’d never repeat, or so he told you after you asked about that.

Grace MacMillan needed to woman up and accept defeat for his sake.

“You are lying!” the blonde cries and takes a swing at you only to be stopped by Luca.

“Why would my wife be lying to you? Thomas Shelby would be a fucking fool to marry scum like you, now go back to New York and pretend this never happened.” He stood at your side and stared her down as he chewed on his toothpick.

“I need to hear it from him.” She demands only for Luca to say the damning words.

“Too bad, he’s been arrested and won’t be coming out of there for weeks.” Luca built up on a lie.

Once Grace leaves in a mess of anger and tears, you are reminded of that question you refuse to answer.

“I think wife was too much, Luca.” You tell him as the two of you walk away together.

“I want to marry you, that is why I came here. Thomas can’t say no of he sees how happy I make you.” He is adamant, thinking that what you need is time.

No man respects your decision to remain free. You love your freedom more than you love Luca.

And he refuses to accept that.

He will never accept that; you hear Polly’s voice in the back of your mind.

Its 1925 when you accept an engagement from him.

He is not allowed at Tommy’s wedding and you are relieved when everything goes wrong.

Angel started seeing Lizzy and this had made a mess because Tommy still held a torch for her.

No woman was enough for Tommy, not Grace, not Lizzie, not even sweet May.

Tommy set the boys loose on the Changretta’s territory and now you wonder if you should just send Luca the diamond ring he gave you on your birthday instead of telling Tommy you were engaged to him.

“You should’ve told them!” Lizzie hissed in pain as her dreams with Angel crumble to dust. “He would’ve let me go if you had told them about Luca!”

After three months of thinking about it you decide to tell him at the opening of May’s charity.

“I need to tell you something, Tommy.” You wear Luca’s ring on your finger as May talks to John and Esme across the ballroom.

Everyone lived May, who couldn’t?

You only hoped your family would accept Luca as well.

“Is this about this mystery man you’ve been with all this time?” he said pointing to the ring.

“Yeah, I’m going to marry him and I think it’s about time you knew who he is.” You begin only to be interrupted by a gun shot and shouting.

The man shouts in Italian, but he isn’t one. You know the Italians wouldn’t do this, not when they know your marriage will fix the issues with the family and let Angel and Lizzie leave tonight.

“For Angel!” the man shouts and aims at John.

But it’s not John he hits, no, it’s May.

May who could never hate anyone. May who brings out the good in Tommy and doesn’t judge any of your like Grace did.

Its when you see the sickening smile on the Russian bitch that you realize who sent the gunman.

End of part 1

Part 2

Notes

The Sandman is a short story by E.T.A Hoffman in 1817 about Nathaniel who is obsesses with this man named Coppola whom he believes is a monster called the Sandman (turns out to be right,but no one believes him) , Nathaniel also falls in love with his ideal woman, his teacher Spallanzani's daughter, Olympia, after dumping his ex ,Clara, who he felt too artificial (being a normal woman with a good head on her shoulders)only to find out that Olympia is a human looking doll who is cold to the touch, described as dull and mechanical bybeveryyone else. Olympia can play and sing and only say ah ha in converstion and listens to his boring shit with interest cuz she is in fact a fucking robot and not a real human. Nathaniel then goes insane after discovering she is a doll created by his tecaher and Coppola/Coppelius.

The Fabulous Miss Shelby

Part 1

Part 2

May do a part three

Gif by @imaginesbymk

Cw:murder, mentions of child loss

May doesn’t die, but Angel does.

May had been pregnant and the baby had been lost from her brush with death.

Angel’s death was caused by the Russians too.

Everyone just wanted to believe that Tommy would put a pillow over his face because his baby son was born too early.

Too bad no one believed you.

The only way to stop this was to marry Luca as soon as possible.

Tie the families together to prevent bloodshed.

“I can’t marry you, Y/N. Angel is dead because of him. My baby brother is dead. I cannot marry his murderers sister.” He cries as he tells you when the tables are turned and he leaves you at the altar.

“If I could make Tommy see sense, I could be of use.” May says when you burden her with your problems.

May had been the only one to know about you and Luca.

Tommy is different, and you understand why he is now harder and meaner and cruel.

He almost lost his wife along with their child, but he was blaming the wrong people.

The Italians weren’t to blame, Section D was the real villain.

“You need to tell him about Luca, tell him why he was at the Charity with you.” She urged you as Tommy kept her like a princess in a tower.

“I will, May, once he comes back from the dinner I’ll come clean.” You swear to her.

The universe hates you; you think as your invincible twin brother is tossed outside your place with a broken skull.

Is this your punishment for saying no to Luca those five years with him?

You didn’t want to marry him then and now that you want to be his forever you just can’t.

And worse, you can’t confide in Tommy about it.

“What happened to your fiance?” he asks when he is fine enough to talk.

His recovery was going smoothly, maybe it was because he had May who was guiding him to the finish line like a lighthouse in a storm.

“Didn’t work out, Tom.” You say and bite your tongue. Wouldn’t have in the long run, he’s Italian and you think Italians hired a Russian with bad Italian to kill John.

“You really loved him, didn’t you?” he asks and you look away.

No one knew you better than your twin and no one knew Tommy like you did.

“Yeah, he waited five years to get a yes from me and now that I said yes he said no.” you admit.

“Do we know him?” he asks again.

You should lie and say no.

“Yeah. Luca Changretta. That’s why he was at the party, they weren’t planning anything against you. He was there so I could introduce him as my fiancé.” It’s too soon. The doctors said no bad news, but this can’t wait anymore.

“Then who sent the man after May?” Tommy’s angry thinking love has turned your head to mush. You’re not him, he forgets that all the time.

“Man was Russian, stole the clothes of one of Angel’s men. Same Russians who framed you for Angel’s accident and death that night too.” You answer, you always did have the answers to the questions he could never ask anyone else.

“Who did you fuck over, Tommy?” its your turn to ask.

“No one, there’s a group of people who don’t like paying for the dirty work. Didn’t know that until Churchill had me sign the fucking contract for the job.”

You aren’t the first Shelby to run away in a wedding dress and pregnant with your husband’s child.

Polly had, Ada and now you.

He’s in Liverpool with his parents when you reach him.

“Tommy didn’t kill him. I swear to you that he didn’t.” Instead of a bridal bouquet you have the identity of Angel’s murderer.

But he doesn’t believe you.

If his parents don’t, he won’t either.

But he marries you then and there when you tell him you are pregnant.

You cease to be Miss Shelby then.

“You cannot save your family.” Your mother-in-law says as she holds baby Angela, Lizzie and Angel’s baby girl while she tells you the news Luca will not tell you.

She thinks it’s wrong that Tommy doesn’t get to pay for killing Angel.

Audrey takes sick delight in tormenting you. She hates that Luca lives you more than he should.

She hates that you for being a Shelby, and she hates her unborn grandson for being one too.

You are seven months pregnant, a boy, you are sure of it.

You cannot save your family from the noose Tommy’s deals tied around their necks.

And all you can do is cry on Luca’s chest when your mother-in-law tells you their execution date has been moved up.

You give birth to Thomas Changretta in the bleak midwinter.

The Fabulous Miss Shelby

Part 3

Gif by@mrs-gray

Life seems to regain its colors after baby Tommy is born.

He is Thomas to you and Tommaso to everyone else.

You knew grief, you had lost your mother, John and your family, and you knew with time it no longer hurts as much.

You are no longer the woman you were, the Fabulous Miss Shelby had been buried with her twin brother in Small Heath. You were the Elegant Mrs. Changretta who was the moon to the sun you used to be.

Luca is as loving and attentive as always, making up for the loathing his mother feels for you.

But he refuses to let you go home and grieve for your family properly. Not only that, he has his people keep you disconnected from them and ensure your ties home remain severed.

You loved him, but he became what you had dreaded worst.

Luca had become your jailor and your marriage a prison.

But he had underestimated you and overestimated the loyalty of the housemaids. You planned your escape ---you’d return to him eventually, you think--- and took your son with you home to Birmingham.

As far as they know you are only going to spend the winter holidays with your family.

You walk with your head up high down the streets you grew up in and rang the door at 6 Watery Lane as if you weren’t shaking from the anxiety of facing your family after deserting them in the name of love.

You were not expecting Him to open the door. He was dead, he was buried with baby Charles in the mausoleum in Arrow House. But he is there alive and furious and happy and everything in between.

You throw yourself into his arms unable to keep your composure, “You’re alive, you’re alive. They told me you were dead, and I’m so sorry I believed them, Tom.”

“We Shelbys are hard to kill.” he says and welcomes you in as if nothing had happened.

On Christmas Day, every Shelby receives Luca’s calling card, a Black Hand.

Hi, July!! For the ask game:

🟢 Green- What is considered a weakness in your OC that is actually a strength? What is a strength in your character that can be twisted into a weakness?

🔵 Blue- How would your OC spend a single day of interrupted peace? Where would they go or who would they be with?

For thg!Eva

Thanks Flor 🖤🖤🖤

Green: thg!Eva considers her lack of fighting skills to be a weakness, because in the event of an actual fight she'd die without Jack or in her first games, Laurie.

Its technically her strength because she makes up for it with her healing skills, quick thinking and survival skills.

Blue: her farm, with Jack, just pretending they are a normal couple (family if you add baby laurie) who isn't breaking several laws by being together.

She would love to see Jack’s cabin in his district, and eventually they'll go there during the war
