Thomas Shelby's injury in fanfiction is a major plot device. It can lead to several consequences. Firstly, it can disrupt the normal operations of the Shelby business, causing chaos and confusion. Secondly, it can bring out the true nature of the characters around him. Some might show their loyalty by standing by him, while others might betray him for their own gain. Thirdly, his injury can be a means for the author to explore his emotional side. He might be forced to deal with feelings of weakness, fear, and dependence, which are not common for him. All these aspects combined can make the plot more complex and interesting.
His injury can create a lot of suspense. For example, the other characters are left wondering if he'll survive and what will happen to the Shelby empire without him fully in charge. It also adds an element of vulnerability to his character, which is quite different from his usual tough - as - nails persona.
