Summary
He’s told the Soviet’s all the information he can remember, so now his focus is breathing, staying in his seat, breathing. Breathe. Breathe. He hears murmuring, between Ada and the men. Then he can feel her eyes on him, worried about him. Makes sense, his brain dripping out of his skull.

Summary
‘I was betting with the other nurses as to whether you’d have pretty eyes,” a nurse began, messing with his painkillers. “Don’t worry, I won.” She smiled.
Tommy tried to smile back, which he hadn’t done in some time, before opening his mouth to talk. All that came out was a slur of undecipherable letters and syllables, zero of which made any sense.
“I’m sorry, sir. Please try not to speak. We think it might be damage to your Broco’s area, which affects your ability to speak properly. I’m sorry, sir. You hit your head when you fell unconscious.” The smile dropped off her face, and she broke eye contact with the soldier in front of her.

Alive.
Tommy Shelby, alive at last.

His first place to stop is where he knows Ada and Arthur have been staying, at the Midland Hotel. Arthur can’t be on his own and Linda’s nowhere to be found after the money stopped coming in from Tommy, and Ada needed someone to be her brother again. They’re staying at the hotel while they wait for their new house to be ready, a fresh start.Or Tommy Shelby after the ending of Season 6

Summary
In the wake of a battle, several things became apparent. Several things which would change my thoughts on the matter. His face. He doesn’t think, doesn’t speak, doesn’t feel. His hands. They don’t shake, they don’t tremor like ours. His hair tells that he’s washed recently. But his eyes. His eyes tell everything the rest of him hides, and you can almost miss it if you don’t look properly, don’t know what to see.
Or
AU where Tommy and Lizzie have been married since before France and have a child together. They live on Watery Lane and Tommy's just returned home from France a different man.

Summary
“And rain will make the flowers grow." Perhaps Tommy knew this was it, that they were the final words Grace wanted him to hear, but he didn’t truly know until she stopped moving.
We don't hear, or really see, what happens in Grace's final moments and, while I am wholeheartedly team Lizzie, Tommy loves her and I often wonder what happened in those moments.

Summary
“Tell you what, Tom?” Freddie’s honestly grateful to hear this much from Tommy. He's gone quiet recently.
“I dunno, mate. Whatever it is got you quiet when you look at me these days.” Loose tongued; Tommy’s always been that way when he’s drunk. “Got that... that fuckin’ look in your eyes.”

Summary
Tommy was horrendously sick on the ship back to England. He’d played it off as a little seasickness, or the awfully fresh bread the French girls were given him which he’d not been accustomed to in the trenches and the tunnels where you’d be lucky to find anything other than a rat. In reality, he was sick to his stomach with the thought of returning home.
To what? To his family? He hadn’t seen them in so long, he’d almost convinced himself they weren’t real. Were they ever? Was he ever in England?

Summary
Even in the brightness of day, he feels like he never really dug himself out of the tunnels that collapsed around him.
He knows they’re not real, that the shovels that exist even when he’s awake are no longer real, that the nightmares that plague him are just memories. But they were real. And they are so vivid that it doesn’t take long each night for Tommy to imagine he never came home from France, that this life ‘after’ has all been some twisted dream, and he’s only just now waking up to the reality that he’s still there, underground.
