get somebody to be your always, chapter 3

“Well, well, I’d like to say I’m surprised, but not really.” Cain’s tone is almost amused as he leans against the doorframe, a little smirk playing at his lips, “I hope you’re not distracting Aaron too much, Sugden.”

Aaron feels himself tensing, ready to step in if needed. 

“I’m only providing my very professional expertise." Robert says, smooth and bright. He’s still smiling, looking calm and-

Beautiful. He’s so beautiful that Aaron has to curl his hands, his fingernails digging into the soft flesh of his palms so he doesn’t think about it, doesn’t think about himself, because it really shouldn’t matter now.

“Haven’t lost your touch, eh?” Cain hums, taking a step closer, looking at the Fiat 500 Aaron has been working on, “Looking good. Why don’t you go and have a pint? Tell Chas to put it on me, I’ll stop by after closing up here.”

Now on your nearest AO3.

thank you for the tags @barnbert @stuckinanothertimezone @livflahertydingle @robertbugden @mellaithwen @capseycartwright @illbeyourreasonwhy <33 i started this yesterday, and i don't really know what it's going to be yet

Robert’s always had a knack for talking to people, for knowing what to say to gently encourage people to do what he wants. Sales over the phone is easy. He sells old people life insurance they don’t need, and young people property insurance that doesn’t cover them in the event of a fire or robbery. They’d only know that if they read the fine print, which they don’t. It’s a dodgy insurance company, charging premium prices for basic cover, a company that Robert would never give a penny to because he’s not an idiot. His call connects and from the hello? he knows it’s going to be an easy sell.  “Good morning, this is Robert from Dolus Insurance. May I ask who I’m talking to?”  Robert learns that her name is Angie and she loves the sound of life insurance, to protect the grandkids. Robert spins her a tale of his own nana who passed without any insurance and he and his siblings got screwed on funeral costs, which was such a hard hit especially since their parents had already passed away. Annie Sugden is alive and well and Robert adds a healthy amount to his commission pay.

thank youuu @barnbert @stuckinanothertimezone @livflahertydingle @robertbugden @mellaithwen @capseycartwright for the tags <3 today i offer. yet another snippet from the post gorge fic. surely i will start wrapping it up at some point

"Oi," he says, voice soft. "Breakfast?" The word seems to rouse Aaron, a low groan getting caught in his throat as he shifts against Robert's shoulder. He wakes slowly, blinking a little, and Robert aches at the familiarity of it. "Morning," he says, tries to keep the fondness out of his voice. He's not sure he succeeds. Aaron glances up at him, his eyes soft. "Morning." Robert resists the urge to run a hand through Aaron's hair. Instead, he clears his throat in an attempt to dislodge the knot of affection there that's making it hard for him to speak and distracts himself by asking him if he wants breakfast again. "Nah, y'alright," Aaron says, his voice still rough with sleep. Robert aches. "Got an early morning at the scrapyard. Should get back so I can change." "Alright," Robert says. He makes himself get up and walk towards the kitchen, refusing to dwell on the immediate warmth he misses at the distance. "Want a cuppa, for the road?" he asks — can't help but ask, really. Aaron looks at him, all tousled hair and bleary eyes, then smiles, like he can't help it, either. "Yeah, alright."

thanks for the wip wednesday tags @madroxed @mellaithwen @robertbugden @livflahertydingle @stuckinanothertimezone @barnbert! very excited for all of your wonderful fics!

here’s another wee snippet from my movie au!

“Glad to see you’re still a relentless fucking asshole,” Aaron spat, embarrassment colouring his cheeks. He hated the person he became around Robert, and time hadn’t changed that.

Robert smiled sweetly. “Good to see you’ve still got that chip on your shoulder,” he retorted, doing what he did best and rubbing salt into those open wounds Aaron had made the mistake of opening up to him about all those years ago.

“Better a chip on my shoulder than to be a washed up nepo baby,” Aaron growled back, because if Robert went low, he always went lower - and he wasn’t sorry about it either. “Tell me, is daddy proud of you yet? Have you acted enough to make him love you?”

Robert’s face went scarily neutral. “At least I don’t need to sleep with my director to make it on stage,” he replied, glancing at Mack. “This isn’t going to work, Mack. We’re not going to be to make this movie.”

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tags @barnbert @robertbugden @stuckinanothertimezone and @livflahertydingle !! I’m not totally happy with this but I promised Clara so here’s a random moment from the My Lord Robert au….

Robert considers Aaron for a moment—realising then how truly alike their circumstances are. All of this deception, not for duty, or money, or status, but for the love and safety of the younger sisters they swore to protect.

"So we're both trapped then," Robert muses glumly. "Not sure if that makes it better or worse."

"You're heir to the throne," Aaron scoffs, "not exactly what I'd call being trapped, mate."

Robert laughs, not unkindly, but merely with the air of someone who's been told his whole life that he should be grateful—when he'd have much preferred to merely be loved.

"The union is set," he explains simply. "The law is clear. One of us has to marry you. If it's John, then I'm condemning the Kingdom to a snake as their ruler, who's first act will surely be to kill me, and my sister, before hunting down my brother in exile. And if it's Victoria?”

Robert gives their surroundings a cursory look around before continuing quietly. "Well, her heart belongs to another, and while I don't exactly care for the fool, he's all she's ever wanted. God knows why.”

i have been bouncing back and forth between both of my jobs all week (& spending most of my free time with my only other friend who works mornings) so i haven't had time to make much progress on any fics since i posted my last. here's another excerpt from the hockey AU that i've totally been working on since i last posted it (😅).

Robert shifts his gear onto his left arm and holds out his hand, but Livesy ignores it. "Right, you're the bloke stupid enough to leave the NHL in his prime for this dump," he practically spits. Comments like that, from journos, nosy teammates, and the like, used to make Robert's blood run cold. Each mention of his transfer planted another seed, the fear of leaving the sport without a Hall of Fame induction growing every time it was brought up. He tries to ignore it, now, but the idea of dying unknown—without even so much as his number getting retired after all this is over—still keeps him up. Livesy's comment makes something itch under Robert's skin. "I got a good offer." Livesy rolls his eyes. "Must be why you're driving around a car worth two hundred thousand pounds while my mate picks up work at his mum's farm during the off-season to afford rent." "Three," Robert corrects. He feels blood rushing to his cheeks. "What?" Livesy is shorter than Robert by a few inches, but the way he has been staring Robert down makes it seem like it's the other way 'round. Livesy takes a step closer to him, squinting, and Robert spares a glance down to his lips on instinct. Robert shakes off the feeling—intimidation, it must be, even though Livesy's quite a bit younger and much less experienced—and steps away. He unlocks his car and moves to drop his gear in the passenger's seat as he says, "My car is worth three hundred thousand pounds."

Wip Wednesday! Thank you for tagging me @barnbert 🌻

Chapter 3 of my angsty yearning baby is almost done, so here's a little bit.

“I really miss it.” Robert whispers, his fingertips brushing thin skin by Aaron's ear, and Aaron fights against the need to close his eyes, lean into his hand, stay like this forever, “Touch.”

Aaron knows Robert well enough to realize how much it takes for him to admit that, to bare his soul to someone, even to Aaron, with whom it has seemed easier for a reason none of them ever tried to talk about.

“I can touch you.”

He looks remarkably better, completely free of the bruising that had coated him before. And standing under proper, functional lighting instead of a murky, shadowy alleyway is truly working for him. “Do you usually make it a habit to heal strangers in the middle of the night?” He asks gruffly, his voice sending a jolt straight through Robert. “Only the better looking ones,” Robert purrs. Hey, if his secret is already out there, he might as well use it to his advantage, see how far he can push the bloke before he storms out, punch his lights out or push Robert against the desk and have his wicked ways with him. He's got no complaints either way.

seven sentence sunday

i knowwwwww i'm cutting it close here BUT thank you thank you thank you @robrondale @nerdyfangirl76 @robertbugden @capseycartwright and @illbeyourreasonwhy for the tags youre all fabulous and wonderful and lovely!!!!

i'm not sure how much i like this but i thought i'd post from a wip i've already posted about rather than the new one that i started today (i dont have a problem i promise) soooooo here's seven sentences from wsr 2025 edition <3

Robert should have known he would wake up alone.

yesterday had been the greatest day in ages, potentially the only good day he’d had all year, in years.

Aaron had missed him, you see. he’d helped him, talked to him, held him close and took control, took charge, took over, let Robert slip away into the bliss of his presence. Aaron had been his for a moment, for a few. Aaron had been his and it had been a dream.

Robert only dreamed when he was alone.

since there's about 40 mins left of Sunday i won't tag anyone specifically BUT if you haven't posted and want to post consider this me tagging you <3
