An enemy hits a member of Maple's actual party, impaling them with half a dozen arrows, and Maple doesn't bat an eye.

The same enemy tries - unsuccessfully - to hit Morticia however and Maple starts frothing at the mouth.

JAMES REYNOLDS ( HE/THEY ) is a DEMIBOY, TWENTY-FIVE year old FIREFIGHTER who has been living in Moorbrooke for HIS ENTIRE LIFE. They were born on JANUARY 1ST and right now, they are currently residing in MAPLE COURT. It has been said that they look suspiciously like TIMOTHEE CHALAMET and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose ON THE LOOSE by NIALL HORAN.

trigger warnings: family death, binge drinking

alrighty welcome to JAMES REYNOLDS aka moorbrooke’s local dumbass!

okay this kid is lowkey a (fun) chaotic mess like where do we even begin

so he was born in moorbrooke on january 1st ( just to ruin mama reynolds’ new year! ). he’s lived here his entire life and adores moorbrooke and has probably known most people there for as long as he can remember

he grew up in a typical perfect white picket fence, two-and-a-half kids family who all adored each other and james would protect his siblings with his life, even though they still like to play the role of embarrassing brother

because of their perfect upbringing, james can sometimes act like a bit of a spoiled brat even now. he literally cannot fend for himself and has zero brain cells or basic life skills

james has never lived more than ten minutes away from his parents so he’s still used to them doing everything for him, even in his twenties ( however they’re most definitely not embarrassed about the fact that they’re a mama’s boy who still enjoys cuddles with her )

he had a huge love-hate relationship with school as he liked the social aspects of it because he was that irritatingly popular loud kid ( who ended up being impossible to hate just because he was so nice and charming ) but he despised the workload

he was diagnosed with adhd and anxiety when he was fifteen so they struggled with their schoolwork and would often stress cry in the middle of the night when he had an exam the next day and absolutely nothing was going in, no matter how hard he tried

fooled around at school just so people wouldn’t think that he was stupid and instead thought that he was just a class clown

handles his mental health a lot better now but there are still days where he has so much energy he just wants to scream and cannot focus on literally a n y t h i n g

james has been besties with teddy montgomery literally ever since he was born and they’ve always been inseparable to the point where james would just cry whenever teddy wasn’t around :/

as soon as james turned eighteen they moved in together and eventually they realised they had feelings for each other. after being dumb for a while they finally admitted they were in love and got together and james like to think they are the power couple of moorbrooke ( main character energy smh )

but then the accident happened. james had always been close to his brother alfie so would come and visit him regularly

( death of a sibling tw ) james had always been a terrible cook but he liked to experiment and make weird concoctions for his brother. but that night he accidentally left the stove on and and fire began while they were trapped inside. james managed to pull his brother out but it was too late because his brother died in the ambulance on the way to hospital ( tw end )

james was DEVASTATED. he knew it was his fault and he remained in hospital for a while as his burns healed but he was inconsolable and didn’t speak to anyone unless he had to

seeing him that way was frankly terrifying for everyone who knew him because james was a chatterbox who would never stfu but he was so guilt-ridden for not protecting his baby brother the way he was supposed to that he just didn’t want to exist around other people

afterwards, things were just different for james. he was acting stupid and reckless and going out too much and getting too drunk and trying to push everyone away

he wasn’t entirely sure when the idea came to him but when they started getting better and becoming themself again, james decided that they wanted to become a firefighter. his parents thought it was a reckless decision but frankly james had never known what he wanted to do with his life and suddenly this idea seemed so PERFECT for him

james absolutely LOVES his job bc he likes having this weird hero complex and saving people and even likes doing dumb things like cutting trapped teenagers out of baby swings or saving cats from trees

deep down he knew he was only doing this job because of the guilt he felt about alfie. james seems to think that if he recklessly jumps into enough burning buildings then maybe…….. just maybe they might finally make up for what they did to alfie

random facts!

very open about the fact that he’s gay and coming out has never been an issue for him bc they were lucky to have supportive parents and would get into fight with any kids who even so much as TRIED to pick on him for his sexuality

they’re a massive flirt and will literally flirt with ANYTHING that breathes, whether it’s a guy, girl or even the little old lady who lives next door. there’s never anything malicious behind his flirtatious tendencies tbh he’s just naturally charming and flirty and likes to chat people up and make them feel good about themselves

he’s not very good at a lot of things tbh bless him but he’s very enthusiastic!!! and does their best!! cannot cook to save his life ( as everyone knows after he cooked alfie rip ). they’re literally lactose intolerant and live on a diet of chicken nuggets and ice cream and wonders why they have stomach ache all the time ( i repeat, literally zero brain cells )

they like looking pretty so he always has his nails painted black or pink ( then chews them and picks off the polish whenever they’re feeling anxious ) and likes to play about with his style. sees no gender boundaries in clothing and just wears anything they feel good in!!

he has his nose pierced and lots of tattoos!!! has probably dyed his hair pink at some point when he was pretending he was punk ( and did a terrible job of it )

he can be a v lazy person and likes to blame it all on shoddy mental health but mostly they’re just a lazy ass ( and is also dumb because he stays up until 4am every night for no reason ). he likes to nap a lot and if he’s not drinking or trying to get it on with teddy, then he’s probably asleep somewhere that he shouldn’t be sleeping

despite this, jamie is pretty sporty and is on moorbrooke’s local soccer team bc it’s a good outlet for him to release his energy otherwise they just get extremely pent up and becomes an annoying pain in the ass or just starts crying for absolutely no reason

speaking of crying he’s very much in touch with his emotions to the point where he cries over just about anything from sad movies to dogs to finishing the last biscuit in a packet

they have this NEED to be busy and social all of the time and is pretty sure that if he’s not occupied he might literally die. therefore they’re in hundreds of different social circles and likes to get very involved with everything going on in the town

he was spiralling for a while after everything that happened and didn’t rlly know what to do with himself until he became a firefighter. he was going out getting drunk a lot more and pushed himself into doing even more activities so they didn’t have a second to think about ~things~ and get sad and lowkey he still does this now

also most importantly!!! james has a precious grumpy old lady cat called newtie and thinks the sun shines out of her arse ( which it 10000% does ). they hang out all the time and she hates most people other than james and teddy who she’ll let do anything to her even though she’d murder anyone else who touched her

obsessed with his phone and social media. they’re on twitter 24/7 and his insta story always looks like a dotted line and is trying their hardest to become tik tok famous ( so far there has been little success )

idk i’m out of ideas pls plot with me

#mbintro #// sorry this is ridiculously long bc james is a character i've played for years gfhjdkls

FREDDIE WILLIAMS ( HE/THEY ) is a DEMI MAN, THIRTY-THREE year old ILLUSTRATOR AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER who has been living in Moorbrooke for TWO YEARS. They were born on FEBRUARY 6TH and right now, they are currently residing in MAPLE COURT. It has been said that they look suspiciously like ALFIE ENOCH and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose VERTIGO by KHALID. ( emilia/em, 24, gmt, she/her )

quick facts

sexuality: pansexual

occupation: freelance illustrator and graphic designer

typing: 4w3 / INFP / aquarius

interests: art, philosophy & nature

relationship status: single, a hopeless romantic

background

trigger warnings: drug use, bullying, cheating

freddie comes from a large loving family in new york, but his heart never felt truly connected to the city - it was just too busy and corporate for them

( CHEATING TW ) he worked as a graphic designer for a newspaper and was in a very serious relationship with a woman he had met working at his family’s restaurant. the two of them were together for six years, until one day freddie discovered that she had been cheating on him for over a year.

completely heartbroken and increasingly overwhelmed by the busy city, freddie decided to leave new york. a friend of their family recommended moorbrooke, and so without another thought, freddie packed up their belongings ( mostly books and art supplies ) and left for maine.

he quickly acclimated to the small town, finding his very own apartment in maple court and impulsively purchasing two ferrets he named castor and pollux. he started working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer for the companies around town.

freddie fell in love with the nature that surrounded them. he is particularly keen on cycling, walking, and fresh water swimming.

( BULLYING TW ) freddie’s eccentric nature and inherent awkwardness led to him being severely bullied when he was a child. this continued all the way through high school. he sought therapy when he was young, and still goes every week. ( they have also seen a few psychics ).

freddie is a hopeless romantic, and even though his heart still feels shattered from the betrayal he experienced back in new york, that doesn’t stop them from daydreaming about romance and love whenever they get a chance. they are not superficial or too interested in looks, but rather fall in love with the soul of another person.

some would describe them as naive ( even though he is well into his thirties... though most of his family believe he will be exactly like this until the day he passes ). freddie likes to describe himself as kind. he is also highly emotional.

( DRUG USE TW ) freddie is a very old soul - he carries a cassette player everywhere he goes and refuses to buy a car because “ his bicycle can get him anywhere he wants to go “. they also smoke weed but have never abused any drugs.

justice is extremely important to freddie and they feel the weight of the injustices of the universe heavily. he tries to combat this through artistic anarchy - he used to create a lot of graffiti art but has toned it down to political comic strips, which he posts around town every once in a while. they are aware that not everyone likes them due to this, and although it pains them, fighting for what’s right is the one thing they will never give up.

positive traits

creative

passionate

empathetic

generous

negative traits

naive

dramatic

unrealistic

claims he’s vegan but constantly eats cheese

Finn, Alfie and the Eggs

A/N: I love writing for Alfie because it gives me an excuse to watch ‘Alfie Solomons Best Moments’ video’s on repeat for ‘research’

Summary: The Home Alone Peaky Blinders Series Featuring 10 y/o Finn Shelby part 2. The three daftest Shelby brothers forget their little Finn in London. Luckily for Finn, Alfie is there to save him.

part 1, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6

Warnings: none

---

It was supposed to be a boy’s day out. Finn had looked forward to it all week. The whole day, he and his brothers would go to London, do some sightseeing, drink some whiskey (or lemon water in Finn’s case) and talk about whatever brothers talked about. In truth, Finn didn’t really know what brothers talked about. His brothers only ever talked about business, horses and alcohol. So Finn should have known better; he should have known that the moment the Shelby’s ran into a business acquaintance, his little day out would be ruined. Finn watched as his three brothers talked and talked about some race. He sat on the curb, face in hands and was deadly bored. And hungry. The moment he thought about how hungry he actually was, he smelled something delicious. Something sweet. In an instant he knew what it was: scones. He looked around and saw a bit further down the street a market. And on the right side was a little bakery. He watched as an old lady placed the golden cakes in a basket and Finn heard his tummy rumble. That’s it, he thought, if I can’t have a boy’s day out, then I can certainly have a scone. He stood up and walked to Tommy, who was still talking to the business associate. Finn grabbed his brother’s coat and softly pulled to grab Tommy’s attention. “Tommy, can I get a scone?” he whispered. Tommy tried not to notice his little brother and continued talking. Finn changes tactics. He moved to get in front of Tommy and put his arms on his hips as he had seen Aunt Polly do. “Tommy, I am going to get a scone,” he stated. Now, Tommy had to acknowledge him. “Yes, yes, fine, go ahead,” he said absently and Finn grinned. He walked around the circle to Arthur, stuck his hand in the pocket of Arthur’s coat and pulled out three coins. Finn, being a practised pickpocket, was in and out in a jiffy and Arthur would never have noticed. Happy to finally be released from the boring impromptu meeting, Finn ran across the street to the old lady and her scones. She was kind and chatty, so Finn stayed to talk while he ate his sweet. He told the lady about his day and she listened and smiled at his jokes. After half an hour and an extra free scone, Finn realised that he should be getting back. He said goodbye to the lady and ran back to Tommy, Arthur and John. But when he saw nothing but an empty street, he stopped dead in his tracks.

“Uh-oh,” he said softly. His brothers were gone. Had left without him. And had probably already gone home. As the realisation dawned on him, Finn hung his head. It was nothing new; they had forgotten him more often in the past. At the Garrison, at the church, at Uncle Charlie’s, the Garrison again, but that had all been in Birmingham and he had found his way home. But this, this was London. Finn felt giddy when he thought of the vastness of the city and he felt tears burn in his eyes. But no, he told himself, I am a Shelby, and I am not going to cry. Not even if I won’t find my way back. Not even if I have to beg for scraps and not even if I have to sleep under bridges and eat with the rats. But no matter how often he told himself not to cry, he felt a tear trickle down his cheek, and he became scared. He ran back to the market, the safest place he could think of right now. He still had two coins left, maybe he should buy something to eat now before the market would be closed. Finn nodded to himself and felt a little better having solved the problem of food for now. I need something nutritious, he thought, and his eye fell on a carton of eggs. But he had nothing to cook them with and started to walk on.

“’Ello, lad!” it suddenly sounded from behind him. Finn turned around and his breath caught in his throat. Before him stood a real-life boogieman. The man -or monster, Finn thought, - was wearing a long black coat and a white scarf. He had a wild beard and wore a big black hat and held a cane in his hand that went tap, tap, tap as the man came closer. And if Finn wasn’t frightened of the man himself, he was of the dog, which was obviously here to eat Finn alive. “Yes, you. Are ya here all by yourself, mate?” Finn’s eyes widened. He means to trick me into leaving with him so he can gobble me up in a dark corner, he thought, and he moved. His arms felt behind him and the only thing they reached was the carton of eggs. In a fight for your life, even eggs were better than nothing. “You won’t eat me!” Finn screamed and threw an egg at the monster. It flew with a perfect arc through the air and Finn followed it with his eyes. Then the egg hit the black coat of the man and cracked open. The egg yolk slowly dripped down and left a yellow stain. The man was absolutely stupefied and stared with big eyes at his coat. Then he lifted his head and narrowed his eyes. “Fucking ‘ell, you are certainly a Shelby,” he said. In Finn’s head all the alarms bells went off. He knows my name, he thought and panicked. “Get away!” he yelled and threw one, two, three more eggs at the stranger. The first one missed, the second hit the monster’s boot and the third one knocked the hat right off the man’s head. The man ducked under the rain of eggs and yelled: “Get him, Cyril!” and let go of the dog leash. The dog ran and leapt towards Finn, who was paralysed with fear. He closed his eyes; this is it, he thought and prepared for the worst. But instead, he only felt a soft, wet tongue on his face. He opened his eyes and noticed the dog was wagging his tail and pushing his muzzle in Finn’s hand, eager to get a rub behind the ears. Finn, bewildered, obeyed and stroked the dog. “You, laddie, got one ‘ell of an aim, that’s for sure.” Finn looked up and saw the man stand next to his dog. “You Shelby’s certainly know how to put up a show, hmm? You’re just like that brother of yours.” “Tommy?” Finn said surprised. “Oh yeah, I’m a—well, let’s call it a friend, I am a friend of Tommy’s and you must be Finn.” Finn nodded. The man seemed to be friendly enough and he knew Finn’s brother. Moreover, Finn had heard Tommy speak about one Alfie Solomons in London, who spoke with a funny accent and owned a dog. It all seemed to work out and Finn decided to trust the man in front of him. “Yeah, I’m Finn,” he admitted, “I was in London with my brothers but they forgot me and left here.” Alfie raised his eyebrows. “They forgot you, eh?” he asked in disbelief, “some brothers you’ve got.” Finn merely shrugged. “All I wanted was a scone,” he said softly. Alfie stood up and patted him on the shoulder “Right, then. Scones you say? Well, you’re in luck, mate. You see, I own a bakery.”

After a short walk, Alfie and Finn arrived at said ‘bakery’. Finn had let go of all suspicions and had talked about all sorts of things on the way. He told Alfie about the time he had collected all the King’s pictures, which they had burned, and of the time he had nicked John’s gun, although he left out the part where he got a beating from Aunt Polly because of it. In Alfie, Finn found a patient and willing audience. Alfie let Finn hold Cyril’s leash and the boy and the dog had become best friends by the time they entered Alfie’s workshop. Alfie quickly told Ollie to ring ‘this boys fucking no-good brothers’ to tell them ‘they could collect their fucking stray’. When Alfie returned to Finn, the boy pointed to a handyman who was busy with the lock on the door. “What happened?” the boy asked. “Oh yeah, we had a fucking break-in last weekend. Some bastard thought he could just barge in and steal all our—” he stopped and glanced sideways at the boy. “—bread,” he finished. Finn nodded as if he understood. Then he asked, “don’t you have booby traps here for the thieves?” Alfie tilted his head, “Booby traps? What the ‘ell would we need booby traps here for?”

Finn’s face split open in a smile. “Well, some time ago, me and a friend were alone in the shop when two woppers came in, right.” Alfie raised his one eyebrow at the word ‘woppers’ but didn’t say anything. Finn continued speaking and told Alfie all about his episode with the Italians, the maple syrup and the feathers. “—and now if anybody sees them woppers walking in the streets they all laugh and point and say: ‘there are those ugly birds again!’.” “Well,” Alfie said after Finn had finished, “that is just bloody brilliant. Very effective indeed.” The man stroked his beard and made a decision. “Right then, lad, show me where we can plant these booby traps.” And for the next two hours, the workers in the shop saw how a 10-year-old boy pointed to doorposts, talked about tripwires, alarm bells, buckets filled with jelly that would fall on the thief’s head and saw how their ruthless boss and gang leader absorbed all the booby-trap-information like a sponge. Alfie even ordered for Ollie to grab a paper and pen and mark this all down, because ‘this bloody stuff might actually work, hmm?”

By the time Tommy burst into the shop to get his brother, Finn had fallen asleep on the sofa in Alfie’s office. Tommy exhaled in relief when he saw the curled-up shape of his little brother sleeping and he walked over to the couch. Gently, he brushed Finn’s hair out of his face. “Sorry, Finn,” Tommy whispered and bend over to pick him up. Finn woke up for a moment. “You owe me a hundred scones, Tom,” he mumbled before he continued to sleep on his big brother’s shoulder. “That I do,” Tommy answered, and he turned to Alfie. “Thank you for looking after him,” he simply said. Alfie nodded, “Of course, mate.” But then he added something. “But don’t you fucking lose him again in London. Because next time, I’ll keep him.”
