Here is a not so comprehensive list of characters Aneurin Barnard has played and how I feel about them:

Boris Pavlikosky (the goldfinch): An icon, can do no wrong, a menace to society but rights his wrongs (mostly). Unreliable narrator (positive)

David Bailey (we’ll take manhattan): surprisingly I liked this man. Low key a little shit/terror. Totally a cheater and open about it. But hilarious. Bonus: a happy Aneurin character which is rare.

William (dead in a week): hella depressed, needs a hug. So polite and sweet to literally everyone. A Baby.

Gibson (dunkirk): trying to survive. Helpful. Doesn’t leave his fellow soldiers behind. Screw Harry styles, he deserved better.

Davey (hunky dory): singing Aneurin! His hair is cute. He is SO young.

Danial Solace (1899): stressed. Wet all the time. Unfortunately knows everything. Trying his best for his family.

Tommy (citadel): constantly going through it. Seriously, this man is stressed and needs help. Father Aneurin!

Richard III (the white queen): hella loyal to his own determinate. Lots of screen time. Loved him at first but then I remembered history. Costumes! Falls for his niece 🤢

Wolfgang Mozart (interlude in Prague): international playboy. Got that 1700s rizz. Cheats on his wife then has the audacity to be sad when his mistress doesn’t want to commit.

Dr Dylan Pearce (men up): doctor Aneurin. Not much screen time but boy is he passionate about diabetes linked impotence. Not all heroes wear capes

(Currently watching peaky blinders. I haven’t gotten to Aneurin’s role in season 6 but I can’t wait.)

Behold my terrible, problematic, Stockholm Syndrome-loaded, smutty whump fic idea that I'm never going to write.

Roundup AO3 Updates

Catchup on crossposts here, missed across Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb

And for the sake of something completely different, an attempt at writing publisher-style 'chapter descriptions'. (*that's* what's happening -> I genuinely had no idea)

.

can't remember what i came to find | Tommy x Lizzie

Lizzie's caution regarding Tommy's current sexual dysfunction and brittle emotional state does not carry through to her physical actions, inadvertently raising traumatic memories during intimacy. Tommy hints at suicide, which Lizzie feels deeply, but cannot consciously accept or engage with. She triggers Tommy further using dialogue similar to that which he "hears" in his visions of Grace.

.

death is a tree you plant in my chest - Chapter 3 | Alfie x Tommy

Alfie eavesdrops, overhearing a possible source of Tommy's motive for asking him out that wounds Alfie's pride. Memories of past encounters with Tommy resurface where Alfie also felt insulted and mocked, fueling his desire to retaliate. He chooses to target Arthur, knowing it will provoke Tommy more than targeting Tommy himself, wanting to push Tommy off-balance and into truthful revelations. However, Tommy's response unexpectedly hits a sore spot with Alfie, given the suppressed emotion of his recent cancer diagnosis, causing tension to escalate.

.

fucking come on and break the door down - Chapter 4 | Dr Holford & Tommy

Dr. Holford becomes increasingly inebriated during dinner with Tommy, offering flattery aimed at those elements of Tommy's hosting which attempt to portray Tommy as higher class but which inadvertently expose him otherwise. Despite Holford uncovering some of Tommy's vulnerabilities, his own conflicting infatuation and disdain lead him to inadvertently reveal his own. In drunken desperation, Holford manages to twist his stumbling confessions to partial reveals of only those elements which further endear him to Tommy.

.

i thought i saw your mother in the dark - Chapter 8 | Charles Shelby & Tommy Shelby

The day after Charlie's birthday party, where Tommy successfully remobilised his Peaky loyalists to serve his potentially fascist-appearing ends, Tommy recruits Arthur to investigate his suspicions regarding Finn. Riding out, Tommy and Arthur pick on Finn, only for Tommy to inadvertantly catch the brunt of the prank. Charles attempts to reconnect with his cousin Karl, but Tommy disapproves, performing a magic trick intended to humiliate Karl, only for Karl to turn the tables and humiliate Tommy in front of the watching men. Arthur attempts to take care of Tommy's worsening illness in front of the others, only for Tommy to reject the offer of comfort in fury after two days of cumulative shocks and shames. Returning to Arrow House and after everyone has departed, Charlie and Tommy discover Lizzie's secret caller is Linda. Lizzie's defensiveness and accusations result in a loud verbal fight where Tommy takes out his accrued frustrations on Lizzie verbally. Charles and Ruby learn that their trusted Uncle Arthur has committed direct violence on and towards his wife.

Aneurin Barnard as Dr. Holford in PEAKY BLINDERS season six (2022)

[deliciousnutcomputer]

SK is trying hard to save and redeem Tommy for the past 3 seasons. He's not going to kill him certainly in a "heroic death" ending. Tommy doesn't need a heroic death, he is already doing good being a minister where he has the most power to do good - free hospital care for the poor, shelter for children, affordable housing plans, research into illness, SK also said he put it in S5 script that Tommy even started a facility for shell shocked soldiers after seeing the condition Barney is kept - if Tommy wants the parliament to listen to him, he must lead by example.

Him working and reporting on Mosley despite the toll its taking on him and his family (sealing Mosleys fate) is the ultimate good isn't it? Coming out guns blazing (I guess this is what heroic means) to save someone/cause and dies and then sees his dead where he is at peace is as cringe as they come.

Now You Know the Truth (Part 7)

Tommy x wife reader

Summary: Dr. Holford comes to answer questions about Tommy's condition and you play your part as the supportive wife...perhaps too well.

Author's Note: My readers have spoken via poll, calling for a happy(ish) ending for this series. However, I also heard those of you who craved a dose of evil. I hope you enjoy the ending I've crafted for this twisted tale. I have to admit, I find it quite satisfying!

Warnings: medical situations, inaccurate medical advice, manipulation

Part 6

"If left untreated, the consequences would be dire," Dr. Holford concluded as silence blanketed the room.

Tommy stood from his desk and began pacing slowly, hands stuffed in his pockets as he began to shake his head in disagreement. "If," he mumbled disgustedly. He cast a long shadow where he stood above the doctor's chair, glowering as he pronounced, "You don't know a bloody thing about what's going to happen."

"Tommy, please, you promised to listen," you began, exchanging a worried glance with Dr. Holford.

"While you are correct that I do not know the exact course of events, I can say with certainty it is not a matter of if but when you succumb. Your wife tells me you enjoy race horses, playing the odds. Well let me assure you these percentages are not in your favor, sir. " Although the doctor tried to adopt a more forceful tone, Tommy only scoffed in reply.

"You people and your percentages. Wasn't it your doctors who told my aunt the gold salts worked without fail?" he asked, eyebrow cocked defiantly.

"As I've explained, your condition is quite different and the treatment I'm offering is a new cure," the doctor assured. "It's less invasive and we would keep your confinement to the absolute minimum."

Tommy stood rubbing his temples as he considered the gravity of the situation. Finally he asked through gritted teeth, "How long?"

"I'm afraid we won't know until we've begun, but cases similar to yours have taken less than six months,” Dr. Holford advised, mouth twitching slightly as he spoke. Every moment spent deceiving your husband was wearing down his defenses and you prayed Tommy wouldn't notice the poorly concealed nervous tremor.

Tommy grumbled as he reached for his cigarette case, a rumble of dissatisfaction issuing forth. "I'm a busy man, doctor. My business interests combined with the care of my pregnant wife….That isn't possible," he concluded, the snap of his lighter finalizing the decision hastily.

Rising to your feet, you placed a hand to Tommy's forearm gently. "That's exactly why you must get well soon," you pleaded. "I need you, Tom," you said with as much sincerity as you could muster.

Though you could feel his icy blue eyes upon you, a sudden waft of smoke created a veil between you. Momentarily, you were transported to Dr. Holford's office and the moment your final plan for Tommy took shape.

I will insist he get well and thus he will refuse to go. That’s when you must present the second option. However, Tommy must be thoroughly convinced in order to believe he's chosen it for himself.

Yes, but are you certain this is what you want, Mrs. Shelby? The effects would be irreversible.

As you refocused on Tommy's crystal irises, Dr. Holford's voice came wafting over your shoulder like a siren call. "There is another way.”

Tommy broke from you suddenly, attempting to hide his curiosity and failing when he rushed out the words, “Go on.”

Sitting forward, the doctor explained, “Some colleagues of mine have shared their research on an experimental procedure to remove the tumor instead of attempting to shrink it.”

“A simpler, more effective solution?” Tommy mused.

“More painful perhaps, but certainly less time to execute,” the doctor conceded with quickening breath, his knee bouncing slightly as he cut his eyes toward you. “And the results would be..." he paused for emphasis, "immediate."

Your eyes gleamed at his word choice, hopeful Tommy would seize upon his promise.

“Pain is the least of my concerns,” Tommy replied gruffly, crushing his cigarette into the ashtray forcefully.

You could tell by his determination, he had made up his mind without you having to ask, but you voiced the question for Dr. Holford's benefit. "Then you'll agree to put this behind us before the baby arrives?" you prodded.

He only nodded with clenched jaw as Dr. Holford reached into his briefcase for the consent forms.

"Fucking get on with it then," Tommy announced to no one in particular as he signed them and stormed out of the room.

"Thank you," you mouthed to the doctor.

He returned your show of appreciation with a small, but triumphant nod.

----------------------

One year later...

"There she is! There's mummy!" Frances called in sing song, crossing the lawn to bring you a wriggling infant.

"Did you have a lovely nap, my darling?" you asked the tiny raven haired cherub, her bright blue eyes catching the light and glinting back at you mischievously. At times she looked so much like Tommy, it stole your breath.

"Not long enough," Frances replied with apologetic eyes. "Mr. Shelby woke her ma'am. I'm awfully sorry."

"Is he wandering the halls again?" you sighed.

"I'm afraid so, but the nurse is coming to fetch him,” she assured you.

"No, there’s no need," you replied with a cheerful smile. "We’ll tend to daddy, won’t we?” you asked your child, hoisting her onto your hip as Frances went back to her other duties. Meanwhile your daughter gurgled back at you happily and you stopped to admire her, heart flooding with overwhelming joy.

Strolling back through the well manicured grounds you surveyed the magnificent face of Arrow House. “This will all be yours one day,” you promised placing a kiss to her temple. “Mummy saw to it because I love you so,” you cooed to her in the soothing voice reserved for bedtime fairy tales.

As you rounded the corner to the room that you once shared with your husband, you sighed softly at the sight of him sitting on the bed, struggling to unbutton his shirt. A maid passed you in the hall, offering a sympathetic smile. “Mr. Shelby looks well today,” she chirped encouragingly, her green eyes shining with admiration for your bravery.

In truth, everyone looked upon you with kindness after the unfortunate outcome of your husband’s brain surgery. Though docile and calm, he had been left simple minded, relying on you for every decision.

“I think you’re right, Mary,” you agreed, closing the door to your husband’s room for privacy.

Bringing your daughter to his bedside, you watched him slowly form the words to greet her, a lazy smile settling on his face before returning to his task. Placing her on the floor to play, you turned back to help him remove his shirt and swing his legs into bed.

You pulled the covers up to his chin and pushed the fringe from his forehead, watching as his empty eyes gazed back at you. All the spite and malice of years past erased with no hint of the formidable man he once was. At times it made you believe you could love him if not for the suffering that came before, which you could neither forgive nor forget.

Pulling back to study him, your face hardened involuntarily at the memory of all the years you spent under the reign of his cruelty. How the tide had turned, you thought as you watched your now frail husband draw breath.

"Y/n?" he called out, hand reaching from beneath the duvet to reach for you. "My love?"

Leaning forward to tuck him in, your lips brushed past his ear whispering, “How long have you been dead for, darling? Lost inside your mind. Have you forgotten?" Your breath fanned over him in a gentle wave, making him shudder slightly and you relished it.

Your lips curled into a satisfied smile as you hissed, "I'm not yours any longer, but make no mistake you are mine until the day you die." Then you leaned down to retrieve your daughter, walking away to leave him sputtering in distress.
