   Summary

   Thomas Shelby notices things most men don’t.
   Astrid Björk keeps her head down, her hands steady, and her past where it belongs: behind her. London is work. Survival. She's managed to climb her way out of the gutters and found a stable job. Something she loves. Something she's good at. She doesn't care about anything else.
   She does not care about Thomas Shelby when he walks into the tailor shop. She wants no part in his life.
   Unfortunately, that has never stopped Thomas Shelby.

   Takes place between season 2-3. Canon divergence: Tommy Killed Grace when he found out about her betrayal. Otherwise, I've followed canon as closely as possible.
