I’m John Shelbyyy

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the peaky tumblr community (or what’s left from it) for this year. Thanks to each one of my 1k followers, thanks to the writers that justified my procrastination tendencies, thanks to the readers who took their time to leave a reblog and some feedback. Thanks to those mutuals who, even though we haven’t talked too much, I know you’re there to interact in any other way. These 8 months have been great next to you.

An special thanks you to my SLC for being the most lovely human beings, specially @shelbybroslimited. You made my job more bearable back when I was working and introduced me to these marvellous girls, @peakyrach @wowdamnokay @animalkingdom-anonymous @freddiesada @justiceforjohn. I know these past days I have been really inactive, and I hope to catch up soon with you.

@xxdearlybeloved, Thank you for fuelling my crush on Alex. Thank you for those deep conversations about self realisation, love and relationships. You are a wonderful woman and everybody can see that.

And last but not least, shout out to these content providers who I see on my dashboard almost daily, who keep my blog alive when I am clearly not writing and complaining about having to write. I may have had a short conversation with you or maybe not even that, but your dedication keeps the rest of us useless bloggers active and alive. @prettieparker86, @aranoburns, @hecute-orwhatever, @john-shelby, @captstefanbrandt

I hope all of you have a great 2019.

With love,

And I’m so very glad I did bc through this ONE show I’ve met some of the best people in my life. Ive never thought that something as small as a television program could give me such a strong bond with such amazing people. I am so unbelievably grateful for you all.

SLC I love you. 🥰

Modern!John x Reader

Summary: Mirror, mirror on the wall / Is this love? / Not at all.

Warnings: Angst, cheating?, holiday parties, revealing mirrors, whiskey, tommy fucking shit up or saving the day - you decide!

Some nights you drank, letting the whiskey blur your thoughts until you spun into sleep. When your life got too still, the ache that underlined your days would almost vibrate through you, the string section in your personal symphony of sadness.  

It was after one of these nights that your alarm pulled you awake, the ache still there but the promise of your routine helping you out of bed. You started your playlist to keep you company from your thoughts and danced through your house as you prepared for the day.  

prompts: “I need a place to stay.” “Here, take my blanket.” “I don’t want you to stop.”

a/n: set this around s1 time 

prompt list

It isn’t ideal, but there’s nowhere else for you to turn. 

You haven’t been in Birmingham long enough to make any real friends, the girl from work isn’t your biggest fan, and it’s too late in the evening to get a train back to your parents - so that leaves you with him. John. The first guy you saw when you stepped off the train, and the only guy you’ve been with since moving. 

He’d taken you out, taken you home, then, quite politely, turfed you out the morning after. It was great but you haven’t spoken to him since. Standing by his door, seems nothing short of lunacy.

oK yer a john girl, nonny! sorry for taking forever to answer this :)

John

we all know that john is literally the opposite of what shy is, so he has no qualms about approaching you. he likes a girl with fire so once you get to know each other, he’s completely enamoured by your assertiveness.

at first, you’re nervous around him - especially because he’s a blinder and he has an eye for you. you think it’s a fluke or a game or a joke, which makes you shyer around him.

but you still won’t let john make a pass at you, and stand up for yourself when others make jokes. john is so excited by this, he makes a point to know more about the quiet girl with so much steel inside her.

let’s be real, you don’t stand for any of john’s bullshit, because there’s a lot of it. you can always put him in his place (and he also thinks this is hot).

all in all, though, you care a tonne about each other. your loving side truly starts to come out a few months into your relationship and that’s when john knew he wanted to be with you for the rest of his life.

hope you enjoyed!!
