Too Hard, Heart First by @madroxed -6.2k

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.

@secondsofhappiness @wellyfullofale 😉 thx guys. It's nice to have support that says I'm not just pulling this shit out of my butt, because I do wonder sometimes 😂

[smittenwithsugden]

Sending love to Ellie (turnerkanes) for being my favourite fic writer, to Ell (sugdenspecial) because she seems really sweet and to Megan (Secondsofhappiness) for being my favourite tumblr to go to when I need to calm down.

@turnerkanes , @sugdenspecial and @secondsofhappiness have some awesome love!

[sapphicsugden]

@secondsofhappiness is a complete gem and @beautifulhigh always has such kind words to say, my coming into this fandom would've been completely different if not for them

[bartsugsy]

YOU'RE BACK. Help us. We're a mess and it's all falling apart... like a wasteland of misery hahaha

I’m building crackpot contingency plans that involve the second coming of Jesus and drug hallucinations does that count

[seanslaters]

@secondsofhappiness drinking things and judging people are two of my favourite pastimes so it's a yes from me ;) Also can scarily relate to Charity losing the will to live sometimes haha!

"You should have kept your trap shut son" - why did this make me laugh so much and also long for the North again! So bloody northern, I love it ❤️

Haha! Well you can’t get much more northern than Scotland (even if I’m quite low down) 😂 You just can’t beat a bit of the North though!

I’m glad it made you laugh 😘❤
