"Blinders at Downton
" is a crossover fanfic between Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders, taking place in 1924, during Series 5 of the former and Series 3 of the latter.
Tom Branson has been invited to his cousin Grace's wedding, which puts him and the Crawleys on a collision course with the Shelbys and their own criminal activities.
Tropes that appear in this fanfic:
- Crossover: Between the two series. Tom is Grace's cousin, and Rose had gone to the Eden Club at least once while Arthur was there.
- Forgotten First Meeting: Tommy met Thomas Barrow during World War One when Thomas treated Tommy's injuries after he was trapped underground during the Battle of the Somme; a week later, Thomas was shot in the hand as depicted in the Series 2 premiere and sent home.
- Have We Met?: Polly meets Anna at the wedding and seems to recognize her.
- A House Divided: Tom and Grace initially lost contact with each other when their family was split by the Irish independent movement.
- In-Series Nickname: The rest of the Shelby family start calling Tommy "Lord Shelby" after he was invited to Downton.
- One-Steve Limit: There are three men named Thomas moving through events: Tommy Shelby the leader of the Shelby family, Tom Branson Lord Grantham's son-in-law, and Thomas Barrow, under-butler at Downton.
