under the rain + robron? :)

The sound of the rain pattering against the roof of the farmhouse was relaxing. Aaron wasn’t sure why you could hear it so much more here, than at the Mill - the farmhouse was older, he supposed - but either way, it was a deliciously relaxing sound when you knew you didn’t have to get up out of bed any time soon.

Robert shifted, slightly, nuzzling his face into Aaron’s chest. He’d lost his pyjama top some time during the night - too warm, Aaron knew, unable to keep a soft smile from tugging at the corners of his mouth - and so he was being treated to an armful of a half naked Robert Sugden that morning. He was never going to complain about that.

Robert’s skin was soft, under Aaron’s exploratory touch, Aaron pausing to trace every freckle, and mole on Robert’s back with the pads of his fingers, as though he hadn’t committed every inch to memory eleven years ago, the tapestry of marks and scars that made up Robert’s body more familiar than Aaron’s own body was to him, sometimes.

Gently, gently, Aaron mapped the notches of Robert’s spine, bone hidden under thick, sinewy muscle, the broad expanse of Robert’s back making his mouth water. He paused, as he reached the divot in Robert’s back, a dimple that sat right above the waistband of his boxers.

Pressing his thumb into the muscle there, he earned himself a happy hum from the half asleep man on top of him. Robert was slowly rousing, Aaron knew, so he indulged himself a little more, fingers tracing familiar patterns up, and down Robert’s back, before coming to settle; one hand splayed between Robert’s shoulder blades, the other tangled in the knotted mess of Robert’s blond hair.

“Mornin’,” Robert mumbled, angling his chin for a kiss. Aaron had long-since stopped caring about morning breath, and so he complied, the embrace lazy, and languid - his favourite kind. It was the kind of kiss that had felt like a promise of forever, before; and now it felt like a way to make up for lost time, for all those years of kisses they hadn’t gotten to share.

“Morning,” Aaron replied, wrapping both arms around Robert’s broad back, holding him close. His partner made for a good weighted blanket, was all.

“Rain sounds intense,” Robert hummed, eyes already fluttering shut again, as though he wasn’t quite ready to face the day yet.

Or he was just happy where he was. Aaron knew he was.

“Mm,” Aaron cuddled Robert closer, catching a whiff of the coconut scented shampoo Robert had taken to using. “Alarm won’t go off for another hour.”

“Problem for future us, then,” Robert replied, though it didn’t take more than a minute for him to drift off again, slack, and pliant in Aaron’s arms.

Aaron couldn’t help but smile, as he listened to the rain clatter against the roof of the farmhouse, Robert snoring softly in his arms. He didn’t mind rainy days, when they were like this.

You are my home, Sugden

It still caught Robert off guard. Turning the key in the lock, of the home he shared with Aaron. How had he made it here? In the span of 9 months. This ordinary motion, the mundane activity making his heart race – just to see Aaron’s face.

Staring at blank walls, resulting to counting the creases in his so-called bunk bed, wishing he was at home with his soulmate. Willing his idiotic self to undo the last few years and fight to survive for the life he built, his freedom, his family. It was all a jumbled mess in his head. The several beatings weekly probably did not help the rational thinking process but still, as Robert opened the door to their home, everything Robert had gone through flashed before him.

He did not have chance to ponder more on it because of the homely comforts that gave a kick to his sense of smell. The pressure on his heel allowed his shoes to fling, leaving them to rest with the annoying collection of dark trainers Aaron had, but never wore - due to insisting on wearing out the first pair until he was practically dragging carbon rubber across the village.

“Aaron?” Robert called out with a light chuckle. Kitchen was vacant, although the collection of used pots and pans, a chopping board and trays suggested chaotic activity had not long happened in here.

Aaron had clearly gone to a lot of effort here. It was always appreciated but Robert couldn’t fathom why. If anything, Robert had grovelling of his own to do – a regular occurrence lately which, Robert hated.

Suddenly Robert could see their bedroom door opening. Aaron looked smart. Too smart for a casual Friday night in on the sofa but bloody handsome nonetheless. Aaron didn’t seem to wear anything other than different shades of black these days and Robert always wondered if it was a reflection on Aaron’s mood? How Aaron lost his way in his relationship with John, too deep in the pits of denial at his ever-present love for Robert that it was too much to think about colour in the world again? Well, that was at least Robert’s outlook anyway.

A blazer, an ironed shirt, a box. No, it cannot be. Robert had to swallow the thought in a flash. The emotions wrangling in his throat. Aaron however, was smirking. That man knows exactly how to destroy me, in the best way possible.

Aaron came face-to-face with him now, twisting his lips in that predictable motion when words felt too heavy to convey. “Open this.” Aaron ordered quietly, offering the box towards Robert.

“I-Aaron…” Again, words caught in Robert’s throat. “Is this what-“ Aaron stopped him by stroking a thumb against the purlicue of his hand. With shaking fingers and a lack of compose, Robert opened the box, to be greeted by their wedding bands. Those same wedding bands that destroyed Robert’s soul when he returned them to Aaron. “You kept them..” The realisation felt too powerful. He had spent a devastating amount of time believing Aaron would move on, that Robert was easily forgettable. An anecdote in Aaron Dingle’s life story. Again, an idiot of the highest class.

“Just in case you forgot we agreed to marry again,” Came a quip from Aaron’s mouth.

“Look inside.” Aaron instructed enthusiastically.

Upon further inspection, Robert could see that something was different about the metal this time.

On the inner rim, barely readable, but poignant in every way, lay the words: ‘You’re my home, Sugden.’

“Aaron, when? Why? This is-“ Robert wanted to scoop Aaron into his arms, yearned to kiss him senseless but, he needed to ask the question: “Shouldn’t mine say, Dingle?”

Aaron scraped his top teeth just past his bottom lip before answering, “no, Sugden.” Aaron confirmed. He then took a step closer towards his fiancé and rested his hand on his hip, swaying him in a slight motion.

“It will say Sugden aswell because, that is who I want to be. It feels right.” Aaron will start confidentially. “I’ve always been a Dingle and yes, it felt right to be that, it’s where I felt part of something again after feeling so lost for years,” Aaron studied Robert and when the expression was unreadable, he felt he needed to go on, “but with you, everything is different. You’re my family. Have been since I was willing to meet you at those ridiculously over-priced hotels and content with getting a small smile in my general direction.”

“You introduced me to my family. To Liv.” The name sent a shiver down Robert’s spine. She should be here for this. For their reunion. Saying goodbye to her was the second hardest thing Robert had to do.

“You stayed during the darkest parts of my life. You soothed me to sleep. You loved me when it was impossible to love myself. When the only love I was capable of, was the love I could give to you.” Aaron croaked and all Robert could muster was a reassuring smile. His eyes felt too wet, his lips felt too dry to speak.

“I have loved you and been yours since I was twenty-two years old, Robert. It only feels right to confirm it properly. I’m going to be Aaron Sugden.”

I wanted to do a scene where Aaron gave the rings back and confirmed to Robert he wanted the Sugden name.

part seven — 2025 continued | 2020-2025 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015

here and now by @kellykadesperate

[“in an event of emergency, victoria has said she would like albie to be in the guardianship of you.” daisy looks between aaron and robert. her eyes don’t settle on either one of them for some odd reason. “who?” aaron blurts out. “um. both of you.” daisy says. or, a sort of life as we know it au. multi-chapter. 57k.]

snowflakes in my stomach when we’re kissing by @irinaboginya

[aaron dingle has kissed robert sugden five times. yes, he has counted. no, that’s not pathetic. he wasn’t in love with him the first time, eighteen years old and staying with his friend’s older brother in london. he wasn’t in love with him the second time either. oneshot. 2.3k.]

operation: woo robert sugden by @softlass27

[it’s over. john is gone for good, aaron lived to tell the tale, and now he's doing his best to get on with his life and learn how to trust himself again. this mostly consists of moving into a houseshare with his best friend and figuring out how to date his ex-husband. oneshot. 25k.]

good days only serve as relief again by @capseycartwright

[robert couldn’t tell you exactly when he stopped talking. he could tell you why he did, though - two charges of attempted murder, a stint in prison, and the fact no one believed it wasn't him. selective mutism, was what the prison doctor diagnosed, after a few sessions where robert had sat there, silent, unable to bring himself to say anything. it can be a result of trauma – PTSD, the doctor had suggested. the only cure was time, and therapy. or, in the aftermath of john, robert stops speaking. aaron helps. oneshot. 15k.]

hallow sinking fast by @madroxed

[aaron’s dead. robert’s been lonely for most of his life. a deep well that threatens to drown him regardless of touch and kiss and talk, threatens always to pull him under like he deserves. aaron was the stopper from the moment robert kissed him — a breathing tube, a blanket, a goddamn skyscraper beneath his feet — taking that vast ache and filling it piece by piece. every smile, every lingering look, every i love you.

robert’s been lonely but it’s not the same as being alone. he’s alone now. aron’s dead. oneshot. 1.5k.]

i’ll find a new pace to be from by @donotpercievemebaby

[robert sugden walks out of prison for the second time with nothing but a thin jacket and the urge to keep moving. his plan is simple: hire a car, drive to bristol, and finally see his son again. what he doesn’t plan on is aaron dingle, fresh out of a coma and his second marriage, wangling his way into the passenger seat.

five hours of road between yorkshire and bristol, a car with no radio, and everything they’ve lost sat right between them — maybe it’s the worst idea in the world. maybe it's a way forward. multi-chapter. 25k.]

no one’s ever had me (not like you) by @softlass27

[aaron glances over at robert. “you wanna tell them or should i?” “oh my god.” mack brings a hand to his chest, eyes wide. “you’re pregnant.”

matty bursts out laughing. aaron takes a deep breath and pinches the bridge of his nose, hearing robert snort beside him. “close,” he says, resting a hand on aaron’s thigh. “we’re engaged, actually.” mack and matty both gape at them for a moment, before simultaneously dropping to sit on the ground opposite them and immediately talking over each other.

or, a wedding 3.0 fic where aaron and robert decide there's no need for another dingle do, actually. oneshot. 8.4k.]

good, bad and undecided by @robrondale

[“who’s there?” he dares to ask, hating how small his voice sounds. “robert, it’s me, mate. it’s mack.” robert frowns. “am i in london?” mack lets out a sound that’s somewhere between a laugh and a sob, strangled like he’s holding himself back from breaking down. “no, mate. we’re in your brother’s secret underground hellhole.” oneshot. 10k.]

oh, i don’t like to be by the seaside by @capseycartwright

[aaron felt like the human manifestation of a migraine. vic looked as though she understood. “right – so robert is alone, in whitby, with a mentally unstable gangster that’s got a jealous streak about a mile wide, who now knows his husband is cheating on him, and robert has no idea how much danger he’s in?” vic winced. “that’s about it, yeah.”

or, kev finds out about robert and aaron. aaron and vic go to whitby to save the day. oneshot. 6.2k.]

every look, every touch, i’m lost in you by @escapingreality51

[aaron says "just mates" but how does he handle being mates with robert sugden? or, ex-husbands with benefits. oneshot. 3.1k.]

truth hurts by @irinaboginya

[“you should have told me sooner-” aaron starts, and robert can’t let it lie. “when?” he asks, incredulously. “when you were telling me to leave you alone so you could marry my brother? or when you were telling me to leave you alone so you wouldn’t cheat on my brother? or when you were telling me to leave you alone so you wouldn’t cheat on my brother, again? or when you were telling me to leave you alone because i was right about my brother?”

“that’s not fair,” aaron says, but he’s looking down at his feet now. or, robert tells aaron about kev. oneshot. 2.3k.]

when the flames burst down the morning news by @capseycartwright

[aaron felt sleep tugging at his consciousness, his body still aching. he needed to fight, he needed to stay awake – he needed to get john out of his hospital room, so he could tell his mum everything. aaron wakes up in hospital after his husband throws them both off a cliff - and he remembers everything. oneshot. 4.6k.]

stay and forgive by @robrondale

[“robert was arrested,” paddy finally cracks. he holds aaron’s gaze for a second before flitting it away, finding a sudden fascination with his shoes. aaron absorbs the information, replays it thrice in his head, assumes the drugs they’re pumping him with in here are even stronger than john’s secret stash because he knows he didn’t hear that right. “you what?” calm, dangerously so. oneshot. 2.8k.]

home is not a place, but a promise by @ultrabananaquan

[aaron swallows hard, biting his lower lip. everything between them – every word, every shared look, every breath – has a history. it's too much right now. aaron called robert, needed to see him, wanted to see him, but it feels like there's a gulf between them, and aaron doesn't know how to bridge the gap—two marriages, kids, a divorce, a new husband, and now a murderer between them. this – them – feels too big for aaron, feels like too much.

“maybe this was a mistake.” aaron croaks out finally, after a long silence. “why?” robert challenges, that haughty tone in his voice. It's familiar, yet ill-placed on this soft, well-worn version of robert. aaron finds himself charmed by it. oneshot. 3.7k.]

first day by @robron-til-the-end-of-time

[how do you have your first date with a man you married twice? aaron wants to find out. oneshot. 3.6k.]

we forgot about tomorrow by @bartonmatty

[after one week of being mates, everything is fine. after two weeks of being mates, aaron finds out about kev. after three weeks of being mates, it all falls apart. robert and aaron have an affair again. oneshot. 3.2k.]

your hope, your love, everything that you need by @memorieswarm

[aaron and robert reunite on monday 18th august 2025 for an afternoon of living in the moment. oneshot. 1.7k.]

in the tempest of a moment by @mellaithwen

[robert waits until he hears the front door slam closed and kev's definitely gone before he lets himself collapse. or, in the aftermath of the 27th november episode, aaron and liam look after an injured robert, and get an insight into the depths of robert’s traum. oneshot. 2.5k.]

buried in broken dreams by @snarfettelove

[things come to a head between aaron and kev…inevitably, robert is caught in the middle. multi-chapter. 4.9k.]

grow around the blooming heather by @capseycartwright

[aaron was sure he’d feel the loss of the life they’d once shared for the rest of his life - but aaron was tired of carrying that grief alone. the only person in the world who intimately understood what it had been like to lose that life was robert himself, because he’d lost it too. or, aaron and robert go to scotland, fall in love a little more, and heal together - mostly in that order. oneshot. 9.5k.]

lock me down tonight by @madroxed

[it’s not a conscious thing. like, aaron didn’t wake up one day and think yeah, i’ll be weird about this. doesn’t actually remember when it started being a thing at all — (except…there was a time years ago when he’d had robert over the back of the sofa, finally alone after a long day of liv’s tantrums and seb refusing to nap, house a mess and smears of baby food over both their clothes, that the thought had maybe crossed his mind for a second, unformed and confusing and easily pushed aside) — just that it’s there now and he can’t shake it, feels hot and bothered at stupid moments, tongue too big for his mouth. oneshot. 1.9k.]

flinch by @iwillsendapostcard

[aaron sees robert and kev together and has a totally normal reaction about it. oneshot. 1.3k.]

it wasn’t your fault by @robrondale

[“have you been experiencing any other symptoms of anxiety?” doctors could probably quote their entire pamphlets on the condition from the inside of robert’s brain — restlessness, racing heartbeat, the uncontrollable thoughts in his head that keep him up at night; he’s ticking all the boxes. a therapist’s field day. his own worst nightmare. “one or two, i suppose,” he agrees. oneshot. 4.4k.]

but we’ll wake up in the same bed, always and evermore by @escapingreality51

[robert can't sleep and aaron takes him away so they can get some rest, so robert can relax. he takes them to edinburgh, but robert still can't sleep. oneshot. 3.3k.]

your love is tied true and blue by @enchantedsugden

[“you brought me here.” robert breathes out, and when aaron looks at him he looks confused “course. robert, i thought – i couldn’t wake you. I was so scared.” aaron remembers how his anger towards kev, the need to kill him, dissipated the second he was holding robert in his arms, pleading with him to wake up. or, robert wakes up in hospital with aaron by his side. oneshot. 4.6k.]

feel love before it’s gone / it kicks like a sleep twitch by @softlofty

[robert sugden is a ghost of himself. aaron worries that the brief moments of robert dozing off in public he keeps seeing are the only sleep he's getting at the moment. problem: it's not aaron’s place to care anymore. not that that's ever been able to stop him before. oneshot. 5.1k.]

lost ‘til you’re found by @robronaissance

[the 5 times aaron, robert & mack’s friendship confused the village of emmerdale and the one time it made complete sense. oneshot. 4.8k.]

now i only see daylight by @capseycartwright

[aaron had been sure he would never get to have this again, have robert curled up next to him in bed, the rest of the world waiting outside of their bedroom door, and aaron’s universe reduced down to this; the cold brush of the tip of robert’s nose against his own as he leaned in to kiss him, robert barely awake but gorgeously responsive as he kissed aaron back. oneshot. 2k.]

in vino veritas by @nooneelsecomesclose17

[aaron and robert are getting married and aaron's worried robert’s not telling him something. oneshot. 3.1k.]

we only have a couple of minutes by @kellykadesperate

[aaron and robert's december weeks away. oneshot. 9.9k.]

through the years, we all will be together by @irinaboginya

[“aaron… i’m working on christmas day. at the farm, i told moria this morning that i’d cover it so she could have some family time.” robert’s eyes are tracking his face as aaron takes this in. “but, why would you do that? we’ve got plans?”

“well, no, you’ve got plans.” robert insists, brow furrowing, and aaron's confusion must show on his face because he continues, “your mum, mandy, mackenzie, i wasn’t invited to any of that, you were.” aaron thinks back over the day, and okay, maybe none of them had explicitly said that robert was invited, but “well, it was implied!” oneshot. 4.8k.]

i mean, camaraderie by @kevbert

[he bites the inside of his cheek to stop himself. he’s trying to create a certain vibe for tonight. a certain experience. so he keeps his eyes forward on the road, pointing the driver to the correct side street as he lets his left hand rest on aaron’s tight. squeezes until he hears aaron breath in. runs his hand slowly up the inside of his leg. “ah here’s fine mate ta” he tells the cabby and taps aaron’s knee twice before he opens his own door to get out.

aaron’s eyebrows are heavy on his eyes as he falls in line next to him. wears his frustration openly on his face. hands on his jacket pockets as he looks around at all the 20-somethings already partway to drunk. “you know we could have done this at home right.” his frown deepens when a girl almost stumbles into him. “what?” the fake innocence in his voice is probably ruined by the grin on his face “dance?” aaron rolls his eyes at him as the line moves forward but doesn’t complain anymore until they are inside. oneshot. 2.8k.]

streetlights in the dark blue by @you-whot

[aaron went through life alone because of robert’s mistakes. and so, robert owes it to him to listen. even though he’s five years and six months late, even if it might mean nothing in the end, even if his chest feels hollow all over. or, robert is released from prison. as he makes his way back to the village, he listens to all the voice messages aaron left him over the years. multi-chapter. 10k.]

my beloved ghost and me by @aelric

[aaron looks up and finds robert still staring at the toy in his hands. his expression is stern, but his eyes are soft, like he can’t decide whether to throw the tiny sheep out of the window or cradle it to his chest. or; robert buys a present he can't give. oneshot. 1.2k.]

all play by @icouldhyperfixatehim

[aaron keeps turning up while robert's working at the farm, and that is A-Okay by him. oneshot. 1.5k.]

wish the wind by @thefancyspin

[the coastal town means everything is so cold, the fire burning day and night and their clothes layered up so much they both look like the michelin man. despite it, they pass the time easily, with food and booze and TV and sex, with board games and cards and more food and more sex. it’s an ideal life, and robert can see a future in it - their future, away from emmerdale and all its ghosts. oneshot. 3.5k.]

hold your hand ‘til the end of time by @morganaspendragonss

[it’s a tuesday when chas corners him in the cafe, almost a full week after john got carted off by the police. “i’m not interested, chas,” he says brusquely, abandoning his half-drunk coffee as he stands and reaches to grab his laptop. before he can get a hand on it, though, chas has latched onto his wrist, the tips of her nails biting into his skin. He looks down and raises his eyebrows and she lets him go, chastened for once. “i’m not here to have a go,” she says quietly. “i’m here about aaron.” oneshot. 2.2k.]

damnitiloveyou

I’m quite new to the Robeson fandom. I was wondering if you could recommend any really good fanfictions?

Oh my god, anon there are so many incredible ones. I will absolutely leave some off because there's just too many. The Robron tag has some of the most incredible fic writers. Incredible. Here are a few of my favorites. Also I'm on mobile and can't get the links to attach so I will just give you some of my all time favorites. Again, sorry that I can't get the links to attach. The fics below are all AU's but there are plenty of amazing canon fics as well. These are just the ones I've read an embarrassing amount of times.

Both Sides of the Moon (by softlyspoken). Anything by this writer needs to be read. Absolutely incredible writer. I have read this particular fic more times than I can count. It's an all time fav.

Stay Awhile and Listen (by exploring_in_space) again this is an all time fav. There's a lovely little line in this fic that has lived rent free in my brain for years now. Bliss. There is also a first chapter to a sequel of this fic available and it's a must read as well.

Out of the Blue (by raelee514) the entire Blue Verse is worth reading. All are amazing. Again all of this author's works are a must read.

When You Know.....You Know (by ScrapyardBoyfriends) also an incredible artist. Give a follow on Tumblr to check out the art.

I'm going to stop here for now. This is a lot of fic to cover. Especially if you read all the available works by these authors, which I hope you do. There's so many more to recommend but this is a lot for now. They are incredible. Also welcome and happy reading 💗

"Trust you to get engaged in a car crash again"

robronbrainrot

in honor of robron hitting 7000 works on ao3. what are your top 5 robron fics?

oof i've only just entered my fanfic era and have already read so many good ones! think i'll separate long-form vs one-shots because i feel like they aren't comparable.

Multi-chapter:

The Hardest Science by jentacular - first one i read this year after hearing rave reviews and it deserves the hype. gripping, enthralling, amazing, show stopping etc. jentacular you gave us one a* fic and then dipped. i respect it. however i would pay you a substantial sum to write another.

In Which the Audi Was Never Stolen - shamelessurbanbunny - read everything by this author!! i don't see this author mentioned very often and i have no idea who you are but honestly i love these fics to death. the audi series is an alternate version of robron if ross and aaron never stole robert's car, very in-universe and sticks to characterisation well.

From the Beginning by shamelessurbanbunny - follows the robron timeline to a t but includes off-screen development and lots of inner monologue!! as someone with a terrible imagination i love in-universe fics because i don't have to work too hard to visualise. yes i am a simp for this author and what of it.

Amongst the Quiet by some_mad_lunge - series in which robert is a cop and aaron is a pi. scratched my murder mystery loving brain perfectly.

Both Sides of the Moon by softlyspoken - robron affair but aaron is the one that has a partner. amazing work, loved every word.

One shots:

Midnight in Paris by wafflesofdoom - just a straight up masterpiece. read it.

The End of the After by benmitchells - robron affair 2.0

I mean, camaraderie by glitradora - robert and aaron go to a nightclub to have fun. kinktober so be warned if you don't like smut!

You Let Me Complicate You by thequeenvic - kinktober again but a perfect continuation of "upstairs, now."

Oh I Don't Like to be by the Seaside by wafflesofdoom - kev finds out about robron so aaron and vic have to save robert!

i don't know if all of these authors have tumblr but i just wanna shoutout the ones i do know by name:

wafflesofdoom - @capseycartwright

glitradora - @kevbert

thequeenvic - @queenvic

softlyspoken - @kellykadesperate

some_mad_lunge - @some-mad-lunge

there are so many talented writers in this fandom and i am truly so grateful there's so much content to read and that you all do it for free. we are all indebted to you guys <3

barnbert

Lots of love to you. Bring on 2026 💖

I LOVE THIS AND WAS THINKING OF DOING A SIMILAR THING SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can't believe you even want my opinion tbh🙈🙈

Is it a cop out to say even having Ryan/Robert back? The 'miss me?' I WAS SCREAMING.

Aaron's inability to not look helpless when Robert walks away from his hospital room, Robert telling Aaron he already found someone (even knowing he had a husband inside - iconic). Even the simplest of things, the fact they were happily embarking on the robron train after all these years. We live in such a great time 💖

Okay. I'm going to get mushy. Be prepared.

@robertaaron - my first friend here, the one that embraced my love language of song recs, the one who let me rant in the inbox 24/7 and let me ramble about traitors. I wouldn't feel half as accepted here without you. Ilysm🩷

@bartonmatty - there are simply no words for how much I love you. You have become such an integral part of my day, I'd be lost without you. You have such a beautiful soul and I'm so lucky to call you my friend. My queen and my personal diary at any time. You've welcomed me and I feel honoured you make time in your day for lil me 😊😊🩷

@robrondale - again, no words for you... I adore you, my fam & friends now ask how you are 😂😂. You, aswell, indulge my constant song recs and it makes me feel more connected to you. I love hearing about your ramblings and you making a small space for me in your day. I'm ending 2025 on a high because of our friendship. Ilysm ❤️

@robron-til-the-end-of-time - your posts, I love. I would be upset (and was so upset when you were briefly) if you were gone from this site. I love your prompts and what you have made from my big brother au! Thank you so much. You're an angel 🩷🩷

@robronbrainrot - one word. TAGS!! You know I love them so much.

@robronbrainrot @roberts-sugden @alright-fuckhead @escapingreality51 @findingcasualmagic

New connections but love you all just the same. Thank you for discussing all the robron content with me. Appreciate you all

And to all my mutals, I have so much love for this fandom and everything it has given me.

C) for the fics:

operation: woo robert sugden - I've read this SEVERAL times. Iconic

Big Brother AU! - by @robron-til-the-end-of-time - of course. This was my baby and I feel honoured that it has been made into a beautiful fic

Kiss the name that you sign - another one of my ideas and it just makes me weep 🥹🥹 @bartonmatty

Pull up to my bumper baby - it brought me to you @bartonmatty 🩷🩷

(Your Love is Like) Bad Medicine - the first fic I read this year and still haven't finished because I can't bare to part with it.

This was such a ramble I'm so sorry!

Well, we’re just always partners, okay? STEVE HARRINGTON and DUSTIN HENDERSON in STRANGER THINGS

He would become exceptional. A SOLDIER. A hero. Someone special to Tifa. [x]

dreamer-of-ships

Just saw someone post all their orphaned Robron fics and wanted to do the same - mainly so I can remind myself. I don't have many, but the nostalgia is real whenever I go back and read them, haha.

I orphaned my old account (@Islolzaword) when I was going through it, and man I regret it to this day.

Multichapter:

Only wrote one, and man, it was meaty and took a lot out of me. But still, one of the things I'm most proud of that I was able to finish it.

You Used To Be My World - 23 Chapters. 101,959 words.

Was my dream reunion 3.0 haha. Affair 2.0 and pining ex husbands, and wholesome Seb moments.

One shots:

Muppets in love - 2,564 words

Drunk Robert taunting the White sisters with how much he loves Aaron lol. RIP. Bless their souls.

We are each other's - 4,342 words

Robert finding out that Aaron slept with his sister. And Adam moaning about the fact that Aaron slept with his sister, brother...and his wife.

Patience is a virtue - 2,803 words

The boys waiting inpatiently for Robert's divorce to Chrissie. Cute and fluffy and domestic.

Remedy - 4,550 words

Just wholesome (???) husband sex lol. That's literally the fic. NSFW!!!!

Love me while I bleed - 8,162 words

Purely a cathartic story I wrote for myself in the midst of 2017 hell year. Basically the fix it fic we all wanted back then before the best reunion ever.
