just enough to let me drown - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | ?
During S6-E5, starting with Tommy meeting Diana at the narrowboat, how he gets back to Arrow, that particular Dinner, through to Tommy returning home after dropping Jack Nelson off at the train.
Tommy was running out of women who didn’t look like other women. If Lizzie found out, he’d have only redheads left to fuck in his old age.
No. No old age. Only this.

#my writing#peaky blinders#peaky blinders fanfic#diana x mosley#diana x tommy#tommy x lizzie#lizzie x mosley#jack nelson#not 100% happy with this but keep re-writing it and it keeps coming back to them doing the same thing but with different words so oh well#wasn't sure if i wanted to put in an interlude or do this as a standalone but it felt better sitting in this fic#because of the link: the perfume lizzie smells on tommy is the perfume on diana; which diana bought purely to match gina's perfume-#-because diana smelled gina's perfume on mosley. so all in all that's gina's perfume lizzie's smelling on tommy#because it's that kind of Scene yanno XD#i couldn't quite wangle it to have Jack smell Gina's perfume on Tommy because no way would Tommy not bathe#plus the other purpose of the interlude to play delicately along the line of how independent Diana is acting#i did debate about finishing my Holford fic first (that final chapter plays along this line heavily) but just really want to finish this on#i might come back and edit this interlude to see if i can be happier with it; tbc

the irony being that CM is normal-height for a guy in that era so really, it really *is* that every guy who's taller than Tommy would be considered a freakish giant in England at that time. Freakishly tall Freddie etc...
(...Alfie's weird obsession with smallifying Tommy being something else entirely.)

guys shut up don’t talk with me for hours i need to process the height difference wtf wtf wtf
#really Luca there was absolutely no need to make Tommy get on his knees#tommy's disbelieving look like 'are you serious? like...you're already up there getting snowed on...'#tommy doesn't have 'short guy syndome' its more that every other guy who's taller than him has 'lumbering giant syndrome'#i do admire how they managed this on camera tho; how many scenes were they in the same shot? zero IMO

Did another one specific to the dinner attendees only; I mean it's just diagram-baiting someone like me to go on about Points of a Triangle, I *will* make it a mandala.
Anyone else think of a diagram like this when Diana mentioned 'points of a triangle' in the Season 6 Episode 5 dinner?
#Gina and Michael really should have been at this dinner#the 'would fuck' and 'loathe' in the canon is debatable; it could look exactly like the AU except for the tommy and mosley line being blue#diana actually having zero lasting thought or opinion about lizzie at all imo

after several discussions that left me baffled, let me throw this out to the masses: do you look at ao3's icons when you're looking for a fic to read?
#just read the tags and summary tbh#under what circumstance is the mega-tag 'underage' or 'rape' used; eg if fic doesn't feature the act but deals with repercussions y/n?#same as gender/gender.when those characters *are* together in story but story is not focused on the relationship?#therefore tend to loosely apply it myself but rely on tags and summary when reading as they add an additional layer of nuance#i'd probably use/rely on the four mega-tags more if they had a strict definition written into the checkbox section#because i do appreciate fixed categories (esp.with freeform tags) but the language used is too ambiguous for me to consider them reliable

fantasy story: but we grew complacent, indulgent, arrogant, spoiled by this era of prosperity and splendour, and in our short-sighted greed and vanity, we ended it.
me at 15: I hate this stupid trope. People aren't going to just turn stupid and ruin everything just because things have been "too good" for "too long". Why does this author think that people are inherently stupid and evil?
people on social media in 2024: I'm not going to vaccinate my dogs or my children because polio, measels and rabies are so rare they're not a real threat anyway uwu
me at 30: Ah. I see.

New discourse: it's actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you'll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!
also if you're a Sag and you're dating a Taurus, that means you're secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!

This is environmental storytelling
#there were three copies and the trio all bought the book separately and realised at breakfast one day they were all reading the same book#and burst into a round of punnish 'great minds' humour and decided to donate two books and share the third
