You are such an amazing writer. I admire you so much for your talent.
Your story “Iceberg” is and will always be one of my all time favourite fanfictions! I remember reading it for the first time and it just reasonated with me and it was crafted so wondeerfully with love for the characters and for detail.
Everybody should go and read everything you have ever written! I wanted to do a top 5 of my favourite fanfictions of yours and I couldn’t.
(or, the one where I pick 12 random fics that I love out of my bookmarks and share them with you)

Robert Sugden's not a Hero.
Pursuit of the Whole by @portinastorm -6k
“…this becoming one instead of two, was the very expression of his ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called love.”
Robert and Aaron find each other throughout time, though never in circumstances that it could ever stick.
Daniel in the Den (Felled in the Night) by @magicalrocketships -2k
Everything he felt was trapped in his chest, clamouring to get out, desperate to tear itself out from underneath his skin.
or:
Aaron shows up on Robert's doorstep in the middle of the night.
Move Together by @secondsofhappiness -3.3k
Aaron swallowed hard, smile teary as he allowed his hands to slide out of Robert's jacket and up into his hair, fingers splayed and scratching a little. Robert curled into it making Aaron grin, satisfied. "You are so drunk," he whispered and Robert laughed against his cheek.
"Pretty sure you're meant to be on your wedding day."
The Journey by @yoongii-s -7.8k
Aaron and Robert meet on the Eurostar from Paris to London.
And then again on the train from London to Leeds.
And then again on the bus from Leeds to Emmerdale.
And then finally...
Textbook by @beautifulhigh -2.6k
He looks it up a month following "the incident" and it turns out that he's actually textbook. Of course he didn't come to this conclusion himself, it was Aaron's nurse – the one who fancied him and seemed to ignore the fact that he was there visiting his fiancé – who first said it.
Waste Time with a Masterpiece by @sapphicsugden -14.8k
“So where are you taking me, then?” Aaron asks, rooting around in his bag for his passport.
Robert’s driving, stretched out and languid even in a car, one hand on his thigh, the other on the steering wheel. “Nobody’s spoiled the surprise this time around?”
There’s a wry twist to Robert’s mouth, but Aaron feels momentarily guilty. He’s still gutted they never got to Vegas, but is sure whatever Robert’s got planned will make up for it. “Mum’s not blabbed, you know that."
Robert brushes a hand through Aaron’s hair. His eyes flick to the road as the cars inch forward a little, but looks back as soon as they’ve crawled to a stop. “Clue: a holiday destination, you love it, I think it’s tacky.”
Fireworks, Gold and Dazzling by @littlelooneyluna -3k
"Hey look I know a trick yeah? Just - count to ten and then count back and, and it will help yeah?" Chas knows he is talking to her like she is his child but she finds the thought oddly comforting, this is how he'd be with his child, with Aaron's child, she thinks to herself amongst the chaos of her mind.
- robert finds chas mid panic attack on bonfire night and supports her, prompting chas to understand him a little better.
Waves Know Shores by @robertandliv -4.9k
Their eyes meet over the table and Robert felt soft and warm and fuzzy and all the things that only Aaron ever manages to make him feel with a mere smile.
Your icon is making me emotionaaaaal, can we just rewind 5 months pls. Firstly, you’re not being needy at all but I see you’ve been needing a hug, so I’m sending virtual hugs and I hope that will suffice, and I hope this cheers you up a little. You have such wonderful and respectful thoughts on this storyline which I thoroughly enjoy reading and I love that that you get so involved in fandom discussion as you help bring us all closer together. Thank you for being an absolute gem in the fandom. I hope you’re having a lovely day because you deserve all the love and happiness! 💜
I'm sorry, I wanted to write something for you, but Inspiration just hasn't hit me! If you have any request, and I mean ANY, then please go ahead and let me know and I will write it for you!
But for now I am gonna talk about how lovely you are. Not only are you fun to talk to (it's been too Long) but you are also so generous. You created badges and shipped them out to anybody who wanted them without any charge.
We are lucky to have you in the fandom!
(Keep your eyes open for more praise to come today :))
