Summary
Alfie’s backstory: from a snowy Hanukkah in 1898, to the loss of his mother, dealing with antisemitism and starting a family of his own. A bit of Alfie/Tommy at the end. Set in the GUAS AU.
Character death warning: Alfie's mum was only mentioned once on the show, but she features in this story quite a lot. NO actual violence is described, it's all from Alfie's POV.

Summary
It's Christmas with the Shelby’s in 1898. There’s snow, fun school days, family fluff, presents, 3am wake up calls and reluctant carol singing.
(And not an Arthur Snr in sight to ruin the mood!)
