TOMMY: y'know, our little tara is trying to get us married
NAINA: over my dead body, shelby
TOMMY: i don't think it's ethical of you to crush her dreams, sanera

✧ ˚ 　· 　　 .

TOMMY: i just need to make sure we're on the same page
NAINA: same page? shelby we're not even in the same book, nor library

✧ ˚ 　· 　　 .

TOMMY: i'm sick
NAINA: you finally got clap, eh?

a golden hour was what naina needed. oh, how much she desperately craved to see such a phenomenon. grey, murky skies encapsulated with pollution. all she wanted was to see that silver lining in her ever so monotonous life. and once upon a time, in her mind far, far away, she saw it. naina knew good things never happen to good people.

but she had a leela and tara.

a respective star and night beauty in her life. her motive to live was solely for the two of them.

naina sanera was a fighter and she did it all for leela and little tara.

blessed with the will of the gods, naina knew she could do whatever she wanted to do, with every intention. she never wanted the burden of responsibility on her shoulders, but she had no choice. leaving india was a necessity for the trio, considering her parents were deceased and her brother, jai, was forcefully signed up for the war by british troops. the same people who treated her and her family like shit and sent her brother to something inescapable. the same people who treated her and her little family like shit.

naina once never felt content; it wasn't easy doing her job. it's not that she disliked it, she only did what was necessary. what she deemed as necessary.

blood never fazed her anyway.

anything for tara and leela.

birmingham would be a good beginning. after all, what the fuck could possibly be in small heath of all places?

ah, but they say that intimacy and lust most resides in the sight of two rivals. and looking into tommy shelby's eyes, she had decided she fucking hated the misogynistic prick, who she thought was a whore incarnate.

all she asked for was a golden hour, not fucking tommy shelby.

at the same, she was scared to have her golden hour. she wanted the right golden hour.

but instead, she meets her blue hour in the eyes of thomas shelby.

in which naina sanera does anything to see her golden hour

or

in which tommy shelby does everything to give her a golden hour

tres. don't be a silent reader! i hope you like this!

bonjour to my new venture!! icl this was completely off a whim, but for some reason, i decide to make this fic a day before my organic chem exam, so well done to me for not revising!!
update: it was SHIT. pyrrole derivatives can smd and so can newman. need to do quantum chem and quantum physics next lol.

naina is very much a natasha romanoff, leela sanera, ayesha mehra, lily tucker-pritchett, alexdunphy girl boss queen, but babe has a shit ton load of issues. affinity with weapons? check. minimum 4 on her at all times? check. can't cook british food but makes the most BANGING indian food? check. Tara is the PHATTEST shambles, chicken mum and horse loving matchmaker for tommy and naina. tara is the drama, the fucking moment so tbh, we're all living in tara sanera's world rn.

leela heheheheheheheh fucking leeela.
shit shall make sense.

tommy and naina are very much people who are forced to like each other because of angel baby tara and our queen pol.
memes are here to stay
plot twists galore and morally grey naina >>>
