Can Robert save Aaron from the noose?

Reunion (2018) 7.5K words, livesybaby

Reunion 2.0 alternative.

Well, with having a sister that is rooting from them, a little nudging is needed with the two but will it be enough to push them in the right direction especially when they get stuck on a road?…

Royal Expectations (2015) 23.4K words, shineistan

Be My Forever (2016) 7.0K words, thesalmondean

When Aaron returns from a meeting in Hotten Adam forgot to cancel, he comes across blood at the scrapyard where Robert had been scrapping a car (yes, manual labor shocking). Having left his mobile behind, he learns Robert is at hospital but when he gets there, he is erroneously informed Robert died! Harming himself believing he’s lost Robert, Aaron is shaken when Robert turns up alive and well. Back home at the pub, they talk and reconnect. “But I can promise you I’ll never leave you willingly.” - how true that line became in the end 😢.

Count your life by smiles, not tears

Everything had been perfect. He’d been woken up by Seb gently patting his cheek, Aaron’s muffled laughter in the background. He’d made his son join in by pretending to bite his hand.

Aaron had cooked one of his fry ups and it was just the three of them, Gerry making himself scarce. He didn’t mind the lad in all honesty, but sometimes he could be just that little too much. Today he just wanted it to be them. Neither of them mentioned the empty chair, where Liv should be, teasing him about getting old. They were seeing her on Tuesday, it would have to wait until then.

“So, come on, I know you. You have something planned.” He asked as he slid his knife and fork together, ignoring the twitch he got when Aaron just left his any old how on the plate.

“You said you didn’t want anything, and besides we’re not exactly flush right now, but you’ve got me, and him all day.” He leans over to peck him on the cheek and bop Seb on the end of his nose before getting up and clearing the plates. He does come back though, a small smile crossing his face. “Like I wouldn’t get you anything. Happy birthday.” He kisses him as he hands over a card.

He rips into it, helped by Seb grabbing at it. It’s typical Aaron, no fancy words, just a multicoloured happy birthday on the front and a ‘love Aaron’ on the inside. 

“I love you.”

“It’s just a card.”

“Yeah, from you.” He sighs, can’t quite work out what’s wrong. “We don’t have to do anything big...how about the three of us go for a walk? I’ve got to call in on Vic, or she’ll go mad at me, but after...”

“Yeah, course. You wanna go see the sheep at Aunty Moira’s Seb? Hmm? Then maybe lunch?” He’s staring at Robert but if he had to guess he’d say his mind is elsewhere. “Call Vic, tell her we’ll be round this afternoon.”

“Yes sir.” He gets to his feet, Seb clutching at his shoulder babbling away to himself. “You’re alright, aren’t you?”

“Course I am. Go get him ready while I wash these.” He’s not the slightest bit convincing but after everything that’s happened he can’t really complain.

He dresses Seb in the bright yellow Giraffe trousers that Vic bought for him, handing them to him with a bright smile on her face, and the t-shirt to match that Aaron had bought on their trip to the zoo. If nothing else it’ll make him smile.

Aaron’s waiting at the bottom of the stairs when they go back down and he hands Seb to him while he grabs spare bottles and everything else that Seb might need. Babies don’t travel light. He can’t help watching the two of them, Seb chuckling as Aaron pulls faces and he still doesn’t know how he gets to have this, a family.

“Ready?”

Aaron doesn’t put Seb in the pram like he expects, he carries him, letting him look around taking in everything around him, leaving Robert to push the empty pram. 

“And up there is where Daddy’s friend Vanessa lives. She’s going out with your Aunty Charity. Now listen to me because this is important...we don’t let Charity get us into any schemes yeah?”

“Oh I don’t know...one of them had a pretty good result.” 

“Like you wouldn’t have found me anyway?” Robert just shakes his head, glad that the mood has lifted a bit. As they carry on he can’t help but frown when he passes the garage without a word, just a glance and a pause in his steps. “Didn’t you forget something?”

“What?”

“The garage?”

“No.” He doesn’t look at him, just puts Seb into the pram, a finger brushing his cheek before he’s walking off and Robert has to hurry to catch him.

“Aaron, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. We going to Moira’s or what?”

He doesn’t say anything else, knows when Aaron’s like this he might as well not bother for a while. The walk is only broken by the little noises Seb makes to himself and at least Aaron smiles at him. 

They have fun though in the end, Aaron showing Seb one of the tiny baby lambs, not much bigger than him. Robert just sits and watches, clutching the mug of tea that Moira brings him.

“I used to love this time of year. Probably the only bit of farming I did enjoy. My Dad would always let me feed them, the ones that got rejected.”

“There’s something about babies...and big babies. Look at him.” He smiles at the sight before him, Aaron with Seb in one arm, tiny lamb in the other, in his element. “Is he alright? With Liv and everything?”

“I think so. We’ll get through it...although he’s been a bit off today.”

“Have you asked him about it?”

“He just said nothing. You know Aaron.”

“Tell you what, let me take Seb for a while, the two of you can talk in peace. Faith’s inside, he’ll be fine with us.” He senses that there’s more than she’s letting on but he sets his mug down on the wall and heads over to Aaron.

“Which one of you was this visit for exactly?” Aaron looks sheepish, and Robert can’t help laughing to himself at the pun, before taking Seb. “Moira said she and Faith will watch him for a bit, so me and you can talk.”

“What about?”

“You tell me.” He leaves him to put the lamb back in the pen and hands his son over to Moira and then they’re wandering out of the yard into the fields. “You want to tell me what’s going on?”

“I did. There’s nothing.”

“Aaron, can we not...I know something’s bothering you. Is it Liv? Is it me?”

“It’s not you, I promise, or Liv.” With that he’s wandering off again, leaving Robert bewildered. He’s perched on a wall by the time he reaches him. “Where were you eight years ago?”

“Uh...London. I think I’d just started working for Lawrence. Probably off spending my first salary for my birthday. Why?”

“It was there when I woke up but...walking past, with you, and Seb, made me realise...if they hadn’t found me, got me out...” All of a sudden he gets it. He knows what happened but they’ve never talked about it, not in any way he wants to remember anyway. 

“Aaron...it was today?” How had it not come up before? Then again last year he was more interested in making Aaron happy, after everything and the year before that his birthday had fallen by the wayside, more important things to be dealt with. 

“Yeah. I’ve never really thought about it before. Like I said just...made me realise everything I would never have had.” He sniffs and Robert wraps an arm round him, pulling him closer. “Sorry.”

“Don’t. There’s nothing to be sorry about.”

“It’s your birthday and I’ve been so distracted I...”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve got you, and two months ago I thought I would never be holding you close like this ever again, so I don’t care if you didn’t get me anything or whatever. I’ve got everything I want.”

“You’re a bloody soppy git sometimes.”

“You love it. Are you really alright?” He feels him nod against his collarbone and holds him tighter, doesn’t want to let him go.

“I am. Just sometimes I remember how I felt back then, what I did and it gets on top of me.”

“You can talk to me whenever you need.” He sees him wipe his eyes, “I know I’ve not always been the most...”

“Stop it.” He pulls away, jumping down from the wall, “Right, go and rescue Seb from my Gran and I’ll take you for lunch. Only the pub, but it’s better than me cooking.” The sudden mood change has him worried but Aaron’s smiling.

“Are you sure?”

“Go on. I’ll be there in a minute.” He does as he’s told, finds Seb being bounced gently on Faith’s knee.

“Aaron ok?” Moira asks and he nods.

“Yeah, he’s good. Er, thanks for...”

“No need. Go on, maybe we’ll see you in the pub later?” He nods again, although he really just wants to go home, make the most of a nearly empty house.

Aaron’s waiting outside when he’s collected Seb and all his stuff and he looks better, lighter. They take their time, going the long way round, enjoying the sunshine. It must be an hour before they get to the village, and he’s more than ready for a pint by the time they reach the pub.

“Right, so...it’s not much but it was the best I could do at short notice.”

“What are you on about?” He turns back to look at him, Seb in his arms again, as he goes to open the door to the pub.

“I can’t promise cake or candles, and usually it’d be a Dingle party...probably not a good idea right now, but...well...” He steps past and opens the door himself and Robert can see balloons and can already hear his sister’s voice.

The place isn’t full but everyone that he might want is there, Vic and Diane, Chas and a reasonably pleased looking Paddy. Vanessa and Charity are in the corner booth ignoring everyone. Even Bernice is at the far side of the bar with Kerry.

“You did this? When?”

“When you went to get this one. Everyone wanted to be here, Gran, Cain and Moira are coming too. You deserve this. You’re always putting me first, and Liv...this is your day. I’ve got him.” He nods at Seb. “Happy birthday, Robert.”

The Thrill of the Chase (2018) 3.2K words, livesybaby

Robert is known as the serial dater by his sister. But to himself, Robert sees it as the Sugden charm that makes him able to have whoever he wants… but for Aaron.

Was it you? (2016) 11.5K words, jamesm97

The fic covers a couple of areas which, in the end, is all about trust and not keeping secrets whether it’s for the other’s own good. That said, we focus on Liv calling the coppers on Robert for supposedly having the vile one killed and Aaron having believed it, both Aaron and Robert revealing their insecurities about their future (and fearing not having one), as well as Aaron learning about the Andy/Ross connection to Robert’s shooting.

Fight to Survive (2015) 6.3K words, Elle0555

Oh, and Robert has a little pressie at the end… It’s simply the lads being happy and carefree.

Car Wash (2015) 7.4K words, robronsugsy

Cain decides to expand the money coming into Dingle & Dingle Automotives by opening up a car wash service on a country road and that means grumpy Aaron is first up on duties there (luckily he has mate Adam to help him out in the start).

Your Body’s a Message (2017) 12.4K words, lovesnarf (snarfette)

Better yet? No Whites in sight 🙌!

Robron Fanfiction Recommendations (Oct-2024)

The below were recommended on Twitter during October 2024.

What a difference it makes (2019) 40.8K words, Keggles

A new take on the lads beginnings. Robert returns to the village on his own but now as the new owner of Home Farm and the Mill as well as having shares in Home James. Right off the back, he comes out as bisexual and all the usual antis in the village instead welcome him with zero animosity (barring Katie). Robert automatically hits it off with Finn as well as Aaron but here they take it slow as they become boyfriends. Unfortunately, Aaron’s insecurities cause him to do something that tears apart their relationship (and Robert’s trust in him). But when Aaron’s past comes back to haunt him causing him self-harm, will the trauma lead the lads beyond being mates and back to being more?

Just Us (2015) 20.8K words, Elle0555

Robert has ended his marriage to Chrissie realizing that the only person for him was Aaron, who makes him complete. Now that Robert and Aaron are officially together, Robert wants the two of them to live on their own and no longer at the pub. This leads to Robert buying Home Farm and he and Aaron redoing it to their likes. The next natural step is marriage for Robert (even if he decided previously it wouldn’t be in his future). The tiny (well not so tiny) problem with that is Chas who is unable to let go of his past as he had hurt Aaron previously. What will it take to make her come around, if at all?

Warning Sign series (2016) 3.2K words, orphan_account

A two story series. The first has Vic trying to access Andy’s phone to figure out why he ran from the court hearing only to come across a recording he made of his confrontation at Wilson’s field for chicken run 2.0 with all in the pub to hear including Jimmy. The second offers up reflections from Robert about Jack’s having him leave the village and how Jack chose to cover and protect Andy on multiple occasions plus his brief return for Jack’s funeral. Heartbreaking. Intervals (2019) 12.2K words, danvereque

Rings and all (2016) 2.7K words, dreamember

A look at the mindset of Robert when he decided he wanted to marry Aaron and to get just the right ring for him. It also gives a bit of insight of the mentions of commitment and marriage from the day previous. It covers also the other bits that would have aired on screen on 14-Oct-2016.

A safe harbour (2016) 11.6K words), sugdensquad

Post SSW2016. The events of the crash not only landed Aaron in hospital but Robert’s mental health drops considerably with the worries of almost having lost his now fiancé. Even after Aaron returns home to heal, Robert continues to be plagued by nightmare, exhaustion and a general aversion to water, enclosed spaces and the dark. What will it take for Robert to stop holding it in and let himself not be the strong one for both Aaron and Liv?

Tipped on its Axis (2016) 6.2K words, robron_til_the_end

An alternative version of what happened at SSW2016 written before it aired. Here, there is no plunge into the rank lake. Instead, the lads still are involved in pileup on the road and it’s Robert that is severely injured. Basically, the roles are reversed and it’s Aaron staying by Robert’s bedside and the ring is still in the picture (all the events of the lads kicking off that week remain intact).

Intervals (2019) 12.2K words, danvereque

Vignettes that tie together that begin with the lads being set up on a blind date by Vic but going extremely wrong with Aaron literally falling for Robert courtesy of running into his car door. This leads to a fake boyfriend scenario at a bar… friends with benefits… and leading to their first I love you’s. There also another alternative SSW2016 spin with the last chapter coming full circle to a happy ending. Oh, and there’s a tiny bit of alive Sarah scattered here and there.

Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard (2017) 4.3K words, lesfemmesdangereuses

The lads attend a house party in Manchester hosted by an ex of Aaron’s. What unsettles Robert is most of the guests are gay and had been with Aaron at one time or another. But that is just on the surface and more about Aaron is learned. The real reason for Robert’s unease very much comes down to Jack and what he’d think of his present life with Aaron, Liv and the baby Aaron has embraced.

Aaron is there for him but Robert pushes him away believing he can’t make Aaron happy. That’s okay, Aaron won’t give up getting him back with Liv’s encouragement.

The end (for how) to our lads in 2019 was quite depressing so it’s time to have a fic that gives them the happy ending they deserved. With Vic’s assaulter taken care of legally and she and Diane still deciding to leave the village of the damned, the lads themselves (including Liv) decide to make the move too for Robert to be close to them. A happy ending cannot go without Sebastian being a part of it as well as also whether there is hope for surrogacy becoming a reality.

Unfortunately, it appears Robert has started to move on with a bloke, Ian, that he met at a club. While Ian appears too good to be true (especially in Aaron’s eyes), he will soon become Robert’s greatest nightmare leading to domestic abuse which Robert believes he deserves. How far will things go before anyone realizes something is wrong with Robert before it’s too late?

It’s now two years later and Robert is back in the village after filing and winning an appeal. What he doesn’t expect is to have Aaron sitting in prison with a murder charge for the bloke he was with (for barely five minutes) and that Liv is being ostracized by Chas and that family believing she did the bloke in and Aaron is sacrificing himself. Robert sets out to prove who it fact did kill the bloke even if it puts himself in danger. Credit to @emma-dale17 for suggesting this fic.

Flowers can symbolize many things along with the emotions of the situation such as being sorry, a thank you, a mental boost and so forth.

An alternative take on what happened after Aaron’s fist made contact with Andy’s face (actual consequences rather than none). Having dawned the punch happened out in the open for anyone to see, the lads make the decision to tell Robert’s sister and stepmum about Andy being behind his shooting and how they (and Andy himself) react now that the truth is out. There is also another truth revealed from that time with all of it bringing the lads closer.

Aaron spots coppers at Vic’s and believes something’s happened to Adam when it’s actually Robert who is in the hospital for being stabbed after helping a girl being attacked on the street. As Aaron as well as Vic, Diane and Adam wait for Robert to wake up and have surgery (Chas and Liv arriving also), Aaron stays by his side (the others ensuring that happens), refusing to leave him as he didn’t leave him when he was in hospital.

When Vic finds out pretty much the entire village (including Sandy and Liv) are betting on how long Robert and Aaron stay together, she winds up telling Robert all about it. Well, that just won’t do at all, the villagers poking their nose in their business. Two can play at that game (that is both Robert and Aaron) so let the games begin and who will come out on top? Is that even a question.
