It has been eight days since Aaron changed his sheets and carded his hand through his sweaty hair, his knuckles pressed to the wall as he was trying to calm Robert down. It has been eight days since Vic came back from Hotten, tired but glad that her new car wasn’t acting up and that they had managed to get some appointments sorted. Eight days since Aaron chose not to tell her about the state Robert was in.
It has been eight nights, and Aaron’s fingers seem to tingle at the memory of Robert’s skin under the thin cotton of his t-shirt. It has been eight nights during which he turned in his bed before somehow managing to force himself to sleep, haunted by the colour of Robert’s eyes, beautiful like clear forest lakes.
Aaron tries not to look into this too much, telling himself that maybe he has always been drawn to despair, just as much as he has always seemed to attract it.
Diane pours him a second pint, gushing about Robert’s support group, and Aaron doesn’t even bother to pretend he isn’t interested or listening.
“Vic mentioned that he was in a bit better spirits after you stayed with him.” Diane says easily, and the skin on the back of Aaron’s neck prickles, “I’m heading there in twenty for some tea and biscuits, maybe you’ll come along?”
The itch becomes almost unbearable, and Aaron digs his nails into his nape before nodding.
The author feels mildly unhinged and offers an update on your nearest AO3 station.
Hi do You know what happend to @ifoundsomeone I was reblogging some stuff I had saved for later and I noticed that it says it god deleted then I went into the Tag and it looks like they got hacked or something because a rbron fan got spam from the account. Do you know if they deleted themselves or they never got their account back or did they made a new Tumblr. I was a mutual from the bucktommy and the robron fandom so I want to know if they are still out there to follow them.
I know a while back a couple accounts were spammed/hacked and wound up getting deleted in the end. Whether any of them came back with new accounts 🤷♀️.
Maybe someone that sees this ask/reply will have more info you. Sorry I couldn’t have been more help.
Aaron will say it later, and no one will believe him, but he knew then, when he saw Mack, that something was terribly, terribly wrong.
“It’s Robert, isn’t it?” Aaron managed, a wobble to his voice he couldn’t control as he spoke.
“Yeah, mate,” Mackenzie’s voice was soft, and sympathetic, in that way everyone’s voice tended to get when they were about to deliver bad news, and Aaron hated it. “It’s Robert.”

this fic is about suicide, rather explicitly. it deals with suicidal ideation, and self harm, and is about a suicide attempt and aaron's response to it as someone who's been suicidal. ok. those are your warnings!
What is your favourite episode from this new era? (Other than the wedding crash and 18th if August obviously 🤭)
Thank you for the ask! I’m gonna give ya three based on where they were, all from 2025:
08-Aug - the cafe where we see the first signs of the chill from Aaron lessening toward Robert. Robert opening up about prison taking more than it did from him and wondering if he should stay in the village. Aaron clearly not wanting him to go… his roots are in the village. And we have the Robert and Vic on Annie’s land scenes where Robert tells her about his vision and just wanting a decent life and family around him, a far cry from his vision when he’d returned back in 2014.
28-Aug - a complete joy this Robert-centric episode was that focused on moving a few sheep that pitted him and Vic against Ross and Matty. And they learned they moved the wrong flock and had to move them back 🤦♀️! But afterwards, the camaraderie amongst all of them having a beer in the kitchen then transferring over to the pub (the happiness and laughter from Robert in that last scene). It seemed like the end of farmbert but as we’ve seen, it wasn’t but all that camaraderie that appeared in this episode is long gone 😔.
25-Nov - our lads are back together but keeping it on the dl. Robert’s laughable (but endearing) and not so subtle sneaking to meet Aaron in the car but getting caught by Chas… their hiding when the K showed up… Liam was a loot as he was ‘nudged’ to fess about about K’s terminal lie… the lads, Chas and Liam plotting to get better of the K… it ending with a sneaky Aaron tracking down the loot and being so pleased with himself. It just had a little bit of everything.
Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):
Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click.
"Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said.
Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from.
"If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."
And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):
While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.
Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.
And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:
When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.
Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.
Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.
Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”
“It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.
Serena being "conflicted" about the choices she makes heavily implies she already knows these people and feels an obligation to take their side.
Hmmmmmm.
It just makes me laugh because when John framed Robert, Vic had no problem believing someone she knew for a year over someone she’s known her whole life. Vanessa believed someone she’s only known for a few weeks over someone she’s known for years. But Serena will be “conflicted”?
How she knows these people and for how long for will hopefully play out better than the other instances you mentioned. That conflict set in right from the get go. Will reserve judgment… for now.
Why are some people so sure Danny was back at work after his Apprentice stint? Was he standing in front of the Emmerdale sign in an insta story or something?;)
It’s based of his IG. He’d filmed for a couple days apparently then started his holiday.
How long before the joy of those who are excited get sucked out of them once more details come out about the new character? 🤣 Apparently, the actress said her entrance is related to an ongoing storyline and since the announcement also mentioned her being involved in someone’s story after they have a “traumatic” experience, I’m guessing it’s Charity related. So, yay (sarcasm). More Charity.
The clues are there as well as hints based on the IG follows. It’s basically a wait and see at this point.
