Peaky blinders but genderbent(you know how I'm going with this)
The weird new world (women dominate, men submissive).
The Shelbys noticing Alex.
The conflict between Alex's refusal to "bow" and the Shelbys' dominance.
His rise into the gang world.
Here's a structured First Arc (Episodes 1–10 or so) you can follow:
Arc 1 – The Devil's Smoke
Episode 1 – The Wrong Birmingham
Alexander wakes up in Birmingham, 1919, after a night of watching Peaky Blinders in his old world.
Confusion hits when he walks the streets: women in sharp suits, women running pubs, women spitting, fighting, gambling—while men are meek and submissive.
He sits in the Garrison Pub, cigar in hand, attracting whispers—his blue pupils and white eyes unsettle people.
Thomisia Shelby notices him sitting there too calm, too confident. She thinks he's a potential problem.
Cliffhanger: Thomisia walks over with her sisters, asking, "Who the f** are you?"*
Episode 2 – A Silent Wolf
Alexander barely answers, giving cryptic one-liners.
Artie Shelby threatens him, but he doesn't flinch—he just smokes, making Artie angrier.
Instead of backing down, Alex turns the table: "You want my name? Earn it."
Thomisia sees he's not an ordinary man—his aura feels more dangerous than most gangsters.
She orders him watched.
Episode 3 – A World Upside Down
Alex explores this world:
Men sewing, gossiping, running shops.
Women betting on horse races, beating rivals, commanding soldiers.
He realizes he's in a gender-swapped Peaky Blinders timeline.
Instead of panicking, he accepts it—he's always been adaptable, and his sharp mind plus imposing presence makes him thrive.
But his silence and "unnatural" confidence start to spread rumors.
Episode 4 – The First Test
The Shelbys suspect Alex might be working for a rival gang.
They set him up: send men to rough him up in an alley.
Alex brutally beats them down—but without killing, just to make a point.
When Thomisia confronts him, he simply says: "If I wanted blood, Birmingham would drown in it."
Thomisia begins to respect his strength, though Artie still wants him dead.
Episode 5 – A Cigar with the Devil
Alex is invited to a private sit-down at the Shelby headquarters.
Thomisia interrogates him about his past—he gives vague, chilling answers.
He smokes calmly in front of them, unnerving everyone.
He proposes nothing—he doesn't beg to join, doesn't ask for favors.
Thomisia is unsettled: "Most men crawl. Why do you stand?"
Alex: "Because I can."
Episode 6 – Rival Shadows
Word spreads of a "devil-eyed man" in Birmingham.
A rival gang (gender-swapped Sabinis or Lees) takes interest.
They try to recruit Alex—he refuses.
They send assassins—Alex leaves their bodies broken, cigars still lit.
The Shelbys hear about it and realize Alex isn't someone who can be ignored.
Episode 7 – Smoke in the Garrison
Johanna Shelby flirts with Alex, curious about his stoic demeanor.
Artie tries to provoke him into a fight again, but Alex simply leans back, smoking—until Artie snaps.
Alex floors her in one punch—not out of cruelty, but defense.
Silence falls—the first time a man has struck a Shelby sister.
Thomisia doesn't order his death. Instead, she tells Artie: "If you pick a fight with the devil, don't be shocked when he bites back."
Episode 8 – An Offer
Thomisia officially offers Alex a role—not as a soldier, but as something else:
An "enforcer" outside the family, a weapon they point when things get messy.
Alex refuses to be owned.
Instead, he offers a deal: "You don't command me. But when I move, Birmingham shakes—and you can either be beside me, or buried under the rubble."
Thomisia, both intrigued and angered, reluctantly accepts a truce.
Episode 9 – The First Heist
The Shelbys plan their first major operation of the series: stealing arms.
Alex decides to tag along uninvited.
During the heist, his sheer physical dominance and calculated mind save the gang from disaster.
Even Artie has to grudgingly admit: he's useful.
Episode 10 – The Devil Joins the Family
After the heist, Thomisia privately meets Alex.
She admits she doesn't understand him—he's not like other men, and not like any woman either.
Alex finally gives a thin smile, blowing smoke into her face: "That's because I'm not from your world."
Thomisia feels both threatened and intrigued—Alexander has become part of the Shelby story.
End of Arc 1 → Alex establishes himself as a terrifying, mysterious force in Birmingham. The Shelbys don't own him, but they can't ignore him. Rivals fear him. The balance of power has shifted.
