Every verse is flexible and I love plotting.
We can always change the family circumstances or the age. We also can always create a verse on our own or mix something.
Just know that I’m not into any ABO dynamics and mostly will refuse any vampire or werewolf stories.
Some personal traits of Tommy are constant like his possessiveness (due to his fear of loss), the loyalty to his family and his troubled mind. But he’s very flexible in his way of interacting in a relationship. Also he will be always bisexual but with a stronger lean to females, so I might be even more picky with male muses. Please don’t assume him to be the super romantic, faithful and sensitive guy in relationships, cause he mostly isn’t. That being said it’s not impossible that Tommy falls in love and gets soft, but his interpretation of love can be different from what you think. Keep that in mind and don’t expect him to be different from what is in my version.
I will update more about the verses with the time, but if you have any questions always hit me up. Again: I love plotting and am flexible and I absolutely don’t mind having more threads in different verses. But I don’t see Tommy in every role, that’s why I just wanted to write a few ideas down.
Peaky Blinders (main verse) #v: peaky blinders
Location: Birmingham in the 1920’s
This is his main verse and therefore I use most of the canon background of the series. Where it exactly takes place or which of his relationships, kids, family etc are involved is up to our choice. I like to adjust certain stories so it fits best to our muses (especially important for pre-established relationships or certain backgrounds).

Harry Potter (or other magical worlds like Shadow and Bone) #v: hp
Location: London around the 70s
I imagine Tommy in the Harry Potter verse as someone working against Voldemort as a former Slytherin who went to school with him. He’s part of the order of the Phoenix but works undercover on both sides (pretty similar to Snape and Sirius Black). We can also use this verse to write our muses in a Highschool/college verse or teacher verse and use other fantasy franchises, but Tommy will definitely never be a 100% good one and rather be in grey areas (like The Darkling in shadow and bone or Cole from Charmed or Draco from HP. I mean look at younger Tom riddle and how their style and energy fits 👀). Tommy will be well versed in spells and is able to communicate with animals (also speaks parsel), but he never was interested in brooms or quidditch (he would rather ride a thestral or apparates instead of flying on a broom), neither in herbology. During young age he was already able to create new spells himself, most of them focused on illusional magic and attack spells even if he wasn’t aware that some of them belonged to dark magic (Nearly every spell he created himself would be considered belonging to the dark arts cause there’s a certain darkness in Tommy since he killed his abusive father, but he never really accepts that his magic should be considered as dark or that he belongs to the dark side). The good grades in spells, defense against dark art and history helped him to get through his school time, since he lacked in many other subjects. So if we write him as a teacher, he’ll probably be a teacher for defense against the dark arts. He joins the death eaters at some point to infiltrate them and therefore will have the dark mark on his arm which he always tries to hide towards others. His illusionary spells will help him to cover his tracks since he can change what others see when he for example talks to someone. For bystanders it can look like a normal conversation when in reality he could threaten the other person or torture them without the others seeing. Since his magic is somehow naturally more leaning to the dark arts, he’s not really able to do good with it like healing and probably even repairing spells. Tommy thinks he will never be able to use good magic and therefore works on more and more forbidden creations of spells himself that still allow him to help others (but provably often in the wrong way). He uses for example a spell called “transferō” to transfer someone else’s injuries and curses to himself to bear it for them. He tries the same with experimental magic of emotions even deeper than occlumency which he is very skilled in with the goal to take emotional pain or sadness from someone as well. I’ll add a list of the spells he creates with a link here so in case I use them you know what I mean. (Also in the verse Tommy exists, Snape doesn’t. So Sectum sempra will also be a spell Tommy created accidentally and which killed his father).

How he got the dark mark by tricking Voldemort and created his first horcrux:
> He knew they had to leave. Knew that this was the day he deleted her memory for. Tom would attack the school and leave it with Tommy by his side but not without waiting for his apparently best friend to prove himself to receive the dark mark. Tommy knew there was no way out of this and he had researched for months what Riddle was after. The forbidden magic in the restricted area… his secret talks to the professors. Tommy knew what he had planned and to defeat him wasn’t possible anymore at this state, it needed time and patience. There was no other choice in following him that night and as Riddle stood up in the middle of the yearly annual dinner to walk on the stage to face Dumbledore, he knew this was the time he had to act. He got up to kill his first victim: a teacher who had questioned Voldemort for too long. In this moment Tommys life had changed and everyone saw him as the right hand of the dark lord, his defender and loyal friend. Tommy was so good in making everyone believe that even Riddle trusted him and gave him that dark mark he still wore to this day, but what he didn’t know was that Tommy had planned all of this just to dispossess him one day. As soon as Tommy had found out what Riddle did to protect his soul and become immortal, he knew this was his only way to stay alive long enough to take him down. It was his own life insurance that would give him time and the opportunity to defeat him since Riddle didn’t know any of it. Back then he didn’t know what kind of horcruxes Riddle created, he needed more time to find it out and stay close with him to get every little piece of it together. And he needed to stay alive which wasn’t the easiest with someone who lost his mind to chaos and had become unpredictable. It made Tommy understand that he needed to use the moment of proving himself to the dark lord for something good. That night in the school Tommy had created his first horcrux and killed the man he knew would die soon enough from the curse he was suffering under. That man offered himself as the victim after Dumbledore had heard about Tommy’s plan and even if he fought against it with every force for so long, Albus convinced him it was the only way. It worked. Just like the split of his soul which in that night found a home in your muses heart. The same heart he could always feel beating during the war, just to make sure she was okay. Just like he planned. >

Disclaimer: only because I write in a HP world doesn’t mean I support JKR in any way.
It’s very close to the Peaky Blinders verse just that it’s set later in history and can take place anywhere. Peaky Blinders is the name of the mafia organization his family leads which works closely with some groups in Italy and all over the world. Every relationship and family connections are of course flexible and up to our choice.

In this verse I could imagine him being a famous actor who’s either unhappily married or just a lonely soul in this crazy business. I imagine he likes the attention on small stages when he started to play theatre cause he always felt like an outcast in his family. As his career started he loved how his name grew, but now being so involved in Hollywood he starts to realize that everyone (even his wife) just is with him for the fame. He’s a very lonely soul in this superficial world and just wants to be seen for who he really is. Maybe your muse meets him in one of the hotels he always has to stay in, maybe your muse is an actress too, maybe they went to school together and the early fame made them broke contact cause he became soon very arrogant about it but when they meet later your muse realizes that he’s still the lost boy from the past. Maybe his loneliness got him involved in drug abuse and that’s how he meets your muse. There are many possibilities I could imagine just hit me up for that.
