seen it mentiond before but i rlly stan Irish Mike, you gotta give it to him, man was THIRSSSTY for Robbo on main! Deffo relate to that!! 😂😂🙈🙈
Shame he wasnt around longr as it would've been fun to see a nice (and pretty fit) lad flirting with our boy for a bit instead of 1 night.
((&make aaron major jel even tho he had alex but shh))
(sry been watching reunion eps again 😅😅😅😅 would've liked to see more 'angry tht my single ex is actually on the pull' aaron)
Mike just saw a cute guy in a club and wanted to get him a piece of that! But in the end he had a lucky escape because just imagine getting stuck between robron! Just ask doctor boring what that's like lol
But yeah Aaron "moved on" with doctor boring, Rob should have been allowed to "move on" with Mike the chef! They should have let them date as long as Alex hung around Aaron.

Have faith in what will be - Part 1
It’s by accident that he sees them. He’s on his way home from a business dinner and the cab takes him past Bar West and they’re just about to go inside. Whoever it is with Aaron has an arm round his shoulders. He turns his head away, it still hurts after all this time.
It’s not the first time he’s seen Aaron with someone, of course it isn’t, but every time it’s just another reminder of what he’s lost.
He sees them again the next morning, when he’s on a run for milk. He’s forever running out, Seb seems to inhale the stuff and he always forgets to pick some up ready for the next morning.
They’re just coming out of Mill as he nears the shop, and it’s nothing really, just a quick goodbye kiss. It’s not the first time Robert’s seen him leaving, hell Aaron’s probably seen him doing the same on the very rare occasion he likes someone enough to let them into his home, but he’s heard the gossip, that they’ve been going out a while, that it’s serious.
He realises he’s standing and staring when David is waving a hand in front of his face and he jumps a little. “Sorry, mate, you looked miles away.” He looks and Robert sees his face change, almost embarrassed, and will it ever not be that way even after so long.
“Something like that. Just after some milk.” He hooks a finger around the handle of a bottle and stands it on the counter, fumbling for his change, because now they’re in the shop, laughing and joking. “Thanks. See ya.”
He catches Aaron’s gaze as he leaves and he smiles a little, they always do because it’s them and he doesn’t think they’ll ever not be ‘them’. It’s why he’d left after all. After everything had quietened down, when he was left with a three month old baby and a ton of guilt he couldn’t bear to stay no matter how much his sister had tried to persuade him.
So he’d gone, not like last time. He’d said his goodbyes, done it properly, put up with the tears from Vic. Not like anyone else would really miss him. He was scared, on his own with a tiny baby, no idea what he was doing. He managed somehow, not without a few late night phone calls to Diane or Vic, but he’d got through it and they’d been ok, the two of them.
He tried, God he’d tried to put everything away in a box in his mind, Aaron, everything he’d done, all of it, because he had to move on had to make a new life for himself. He’d done it before, hadn’t he, so it shouldn’t be any different this time. The difference was this time he wasn’t alone, he had Seb to think about and as much as he thought he was doing a good job, being the best Dad he could, it was just them, alone.
His son deserved a family and Robert’s was here, in Emmerdale. There wasn’t anyone else, he was all the tiny scrap of a thing had in the world. So he’d moved back, when Seb was about eighteen months old. He was doing an alright job but he missed his family, the crazy little village. They’d moved into the Nicola and Jimmy’s old place now they’d upgraded to somewhere just outside the village. It was a bit close for comfort sometimes but it had been the only place available, and even he had to admit it was handy for babysitting, or advice.
They’ve settled back in nicely in the year since they came home. He’d never got round to selling his shares in Home James, Nicola happy for him to be a silent partner, probably ecstatic in fact, so he’d settled right back in, albeit part time as if he’d never been away. 
He shakes himself out of his daydream and heads away from the shop before they can come back out. He drops the milk off at home, ready for Seb when he’s home from nursery and heads up to the scrap yard. They both still work there, although he spends most of the week either working at home or out at meetings and it’s…fine.
Sometimes he thinks it would be easier if they weren’t so civil, if they weren’t friendly. He could deal with that a lot easier. It’s better now, time’s a great healer and all that, but before he’d left the boundaries were weird and they’d find themselves close, too close, before one of them would come to their senses and move away. Usually Aaron because even though Robert understood it was for the best, that Aaron couldn’t do it, he would still have that small spark of hope that maybe just maybe…
That was part of why he moved away because he couldn’t move on seeing Aaron every day and he doubted it was any easier for Aaron even though he’d been the one to say once and for all that it was over.
When he’d come back they’d just settled down, not as friends, not even mates, some weird combination of the two, but it was as though the time apart had healed them both and they could be in the same room without any lingering feelings getting in the way.
“Oh. I didn’t realise you were in today.” He looks up at Aaron as he barrels in the door same as always. “Just came to pick up my phone. Must have left it here yesterday”
“Ok. I just came in this morning to get some of this done before I pick up Seb. You off anywhere nice?” He glances out of the window, and he’s there, leaning against Aaron’s car.
“We’re going to a car auction. Liv wants a car and I said I’d find her one.”
“She told me you’d tried teaching her to drive.” The dramatic retelling had kept him laughing for ages. Liv was a funny one, once she was sure they weren’t getting back together when he moved back, she’d started to come round a little and now she called in every so often to make herself at home on his sofa and scoff his food. They didn’t talk about Aaron, nothing serious anyway just general moans and groans. He’d asked Aaron after the first time whether he minded, didn’t want any more aggro, but as always Aaron was better than most, said it was up to Liv. “Bet that was a fun experience.”
“Yeah well, she’s havin’ proper lessons now. Better for everyone.” He rubbed at the back of his neck, the gesture so familiar it made Robert stop. “Anyway best be off.”
“Good luck…Aaron,” He stopped, one hand clasping the door handle. “He seems nice. I’m glad for you, really.” A smile and then he’s gone and Robert can breathe again.
*****
He doesn’t see them again for a month or so. They’d gone away, Liv tells him, Ibiza. He’s glad because as much as he’s happy for Aaron it’s still hard seeing him with someone else even after so much time. He can get used to it, he’s sure, but not all at once, needs time to let it sink in. He’s heard all about the failed dates and those that didn’t last past a couple of weeks while he was away from Liv the first couple of times he saw her. Maybe she did it to make sure he knew he had no chance, not that he thought otherwise, maybe she didn’t want him finding out from anyone else. Whatever it was he was glad he’d had the warning, not that he’d expected Aaron would stay single forever.
He doesn’t see Aaron for a while when they get back because if it’s not Seb that’s coughing and spluttering all over the place thanks to catching Vic’s cold, it’s him. He keeps him home, doesn’t go in to work, struggles on little to no sleep because Seb’s ended up in with him every night and his son is like a limpet, clinging to him, coughs wracking his tiny body throughout the night.
It’s just a cold but it scares him because it’s the first real illness he’s had and no matter what Vic and Diane say he’s worried.
He’s picking up the toys that are scattered around the place now that Seb’s finally asleep, hoping it lasts long enough for him to get a nap or at least a sit down, when the doorbell rings.
Aaron, holding what appears to be a casserole dish, shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot. He just stands aside beckoning him in.
“I, er, bumped into Diane…she asked me to drop this in. She was on her way to Hotten for an appointment or something. Said you’d been laid up all week.” He takes it with a tired smile, putting it on the kitchen table before dropping down into the armchair, waving his arm for Aaron to sit down.
“Seb more than me. I’d offer you a cuppa but it’s the first time I’ve sat down all day.”
“I’ll make it, looks like you could do with one.” There’s a hand on his shoulder as Aaron passes and he closes his eyes to the sound of the kettle and cups clinking as he moves about.
The next thing he knows Seb’s laughing and he snaps upright in the chair, imagining all sorts. What he doesn’t imagine is him being sat on Aaron’s lap, giggling as they turn the pages of one of his books.
“Hey, what’s this?”
“You were sparked out. Figured you needed it and he woke up. We’ve been alright haven’t we mate?” Seb just tips his head back to look up at this new person who’s talking to him, goofy smile in full force.
“Aaron…” It feels wrong, but also right and he’s confused and still half asleep. It’s everything he hoped, well the best he could have hoped for considering everything, and he only gets it when Aaron’s with someone else.
“Stop freaking out or whatever it is you’re doing. I’m helping you out, like anyone would. Besides this book is pretty interesting.” He lets Seb onto the floor when he whines and he’s climbing up next to Robert before either of them can say anything.
“Dinos Daddy!” The excitement in his voice makes Robert smile. He’s never been a chatterbox, late in starting to talk but he’s catching up and every word is like music to Robert’s ears. He catches Robert’s lip with the edge of the book and he hears Aaron stifle a laugh.
“I know, dinosaurs are your favourite aren’t they? Now I know why you were into the book.” He raises an eyebrow at Aaron.
“I, er, I should go, leave you to it.” He gets up, not quite meeting Robert’s eyes. He ruffles Seb’s hair as he passes.
“Thanks…for staying with him. I really did need that sleep.” With a nod he’s gone and the place feels empty but he doesn’t have the energy to go out or do anything so he just sits and listens as Seb looks through the book chattering to himself.
*****
They carry on like that for a while, running into each other in the shop and the cafe, one time in the pub when he convinced Vic to babysit so he could have an evening to himself.
He’s still seeing him, Robert knows that from the gossip he overhears when Pearl isn’t quite discreet enough. He doesn’t feel jealous, doesn’t have the right, but he feels like he’s lost something all over again.
He even tries going on a date, his first for a while. He’s nice enough, own business, successful, interesting he guesses, but he finds his attention straying halfway through the meal. He makes an excuse and he’s home before dark, stroking a hand through Seb’s hair as he tucks him in.
The next morning he passes Aaron in the street just as Vic is asking him how his date went. He thinks it’s his imagination but does Aaron hesitate just a little. He’d stop and try and make conversation, but Vic’s got her arm through his and is tugging him along.
“You know it’s not going to happen, right?”
“What are you on about?”
“Aaron. He’s happy Robert, with Mark.” He wishes he’d never agreed to brunch now because when she’s got a bee in her bonnet she doesn’t let up and he’s not in the mood. He knows why last night didn’t go well, it’s because throughout the meal he was thinking about what Aaron would be saying or doing and how the man in front of him just couldn’t compete with that.
“I know that. I even told him I was happy for him.” She looks over in surprise and he can’t help but smile at getting one over on her. “Didn’t know that did ya? Vic, I’m fine.” He holds her gaze, refuses to let her see he’s lying through his teeth.
“Hmm, so when do you want me to watch Seb for you again? I promised him we’d make cookies to next time he stayed over. That’s ok isn’t it?”
“As long as you’re the one looking after him when he’s hyped up on sugar, yes. Um, actually, could you have him tomorrow night?” She nodded eagerly, eyes shining over her cup of tea.
“Are you seeing him again then?”
“Something like that.” No he’s not, but she doesn’t have to know that. “Thanks Vic, where would I be without you?”
*****
Life goes on they say, so why does his feel as though it’s stopped all of a sudden. Ever since Aaron had called round that day a month or so ago it’s like his been thrown back in time. His days are set into a routine that he loves for it’s repetitiveness and he knows that it won’t be that way forever because it feels as though Seb is growing up every day, but he’s struggling and he doesn’t really know why. Why now? Maybe it was that tiny glimpse of how things could have been, how good Aaron had looked holding onto Seb, reading together. It was enough to make him want it all over again and bring everything back up, all that he’d thought he’d stamped down far enough to be left behind for good.
Right now he’s taking Seb to Isaac’s birthday party, because the two of them have of course become fast friends. He’ll drop him off and then pick him up, still not really comfortable being in the same room as a bunch of Dingles for any length of time. Vic will be there later so he knows he’ll be fine.
He doesn’t count on Seb having a tantrum as he goes to leave, demanding he stay, making a fuss so everyone’s looking. He feels totally inadequate even though he’s dealt with it before, just not with his ex’s family staring at him, thinking he can’t cope. Thankfully Moira sends him next door so he can calm him down in peace, and he can breathe.
He’s just tired and over excited and he’s curled up on Robert’s lap clutching his shirt, and Robert’s happy to stay where he is. He doesn’t look up when the door opens, expecting it to be Moira checking on them.
“He alright?” Aaron. He should have known he’d be here. He keeps his face turned away, cheek brushing against Seb’s soft hair, because he knows he’s got tears of frustration and exhaustion in his eyes, doesn’t want Aaron to see.
“Just tired. He’s decided he doesn’t like to sleep any more. Maybe I should take him home.
“No, wan’ to go.” He’s whining and Robert knows that means he’s tired but he’s never been able to deny him anything so he gets to his feet but Aaron’s hand on his arm stops him.
“Let me take him and then I’ll come back.” He frowns but doesn’t say anything, lets Aaron take Seb’s hand and lead him to the door to the room full of screaming children. He sits back down, head pounding already, doesn’t know what’s going on. He hears the whispered ‘it’s fine’ from Aaron before the door opens again and he’s back, perching on the table in front of him handing him a bottle of beer. “Vic’s here, he’s fine.”
“Thanks.” He takes a large sip of the drink, finds it easier to pick at the label on the bottle than look at Aaron. “Don’t you want to get back out there?”
“Mark’s not here if that’s what you’re askin’.” It was but he’s not admitting it, should know that Aaron can read him too well. “He had to work.”
“I meant what I said, I’m happy for you.” Whatever this is that he’s feeling, he is happy for Aaron, but as much as Aaron can read him, he’s almost as good at knowing when something’s wrong. “What is it?”
“It’s...this isn’t a conversation I...” His knee is bouncing up and down and it’s everything he has not to reach out and press his hand on his to stop him, “He wants to get married.”

Robron week 2022 coming to a screen near you from April 18 - April 24!
I’ve decided to make things a little easier for myself and use the same themes for fic authors and artists this time around.
April 18 Day 1: It’s Easter, you’re meant to live on sugar Easter in the Sugden-Dingle household. How much chocolate did Robert buy “for the kids”? Are they reliving that first Easter? First meeting at Easter service in the church they both get dragged to by relatives? April 19 Day 2: Proper little family Robron + family. Roblivion, robron and their football team of kids, found family, family get together, robron + chaddy before they were awful, robron + Vic, Robron + Vadam, robron + vanity.
April 20 Day 3: Reunited and it feels so good Robron + reunion. Post prison, post break up, reunion from a previous life - any reunion. April 21 Day 4: What if... What if... Robert was still in Emmerdale to work with Jai?, What if Aaron was still around to find out Liv and Vinny got married?, What if they had gone on the run together?, what if Liv never came to live with them?, What if robron bought the pub? What if either of them had never gone to prison? What if Aaron had been in a relationship when they first met?
 April 22 Day 5: Robert’s Birthday Robert’s 36th birthday! April 23 Day 6: Holiday in the sun Something they both need! April 24 Day 7: Hope for the future What does the perfect robron future look like?
---
As always, anything goes. Fic, gifsets, (digital) drawings, videos, moodboards - if it’s robron related, it counts.
For fic - any rating from General Audience to Explicit is allowed, robron with other people is allowed as long as robron is endgame, and feel free to include any and all characters you like. Just put a warning on it if it includes robron with other people or could be considered NSFW.
You don’t have to officially sign up, if you want to create something for any of the days, just go ahead and do it. You can create something for all 7 days or just 1, or all of them apart from day 2. If you’re feeling *very* inspired, you can even create both fic and art, or maybe two fics for day 3, or two drawings for day 7. All of that is up to you and your creativity.
To participate just post your thing on your own blog on the day you created it for and tag it rw22 and or robron week in the first five tags. I’ll like it with my personal account @sugdenlovesdingle and then reblog it to this blog so everyone can enjoy it.
If I haven’t liked your thing when we’ve moved on to the next day, I might have missed it, so message me or send me an ask with the link so I can reblog it after all.
if you have any questions - just message me or send me an ask (or reply to this post) and I’ll do my best to answer.
*the explanations with the themes are just suggestions, if you have a completely different idea, that’s fine too.*

Separation Never Suited Us
Emmerdale Big Bang Round One by wellyfullofale
AO3 link: here
Word Count: 33,169
Characters: Robert Sugden, Aaron Dingle, Liv Flaherty, Vic Barton, Chas Dingle, Jamie (original character)
Tags: angst, break-up, reunion, heartbreak, longing looks across crowded rooms etc.
Summary:
Robert’s been away from Emmerdale for almost a year, but Vic has persuaded him to return for his 40th Birthday party. He hasn’t seen or spoken to his husband since he left the village after convincing himself that Aaron had moved on following an argument that they were both too stubborn to move past. He returns with hope that Aaron might still love him the same way that he still loves Aaron, but when he finds his husband is seeing someone new, is all hope now lost after a year apart? Or will they find that, actually, a kind of love like theirs isn’t ever over?
Future fic, canon compliant (with a little poetic licence, because this is my world and in my world the baby isn’t Robert’s)
Artwork: So many thanks to the amazing @vaticanchameleon for producing the artwork on this fic - find it here!

2021 fic masterpost
I wanted to do this last night... but I ran out of time and then all hell broke loose with the fireworks at midnight so here it is now instead!
I started a lot of challenges... and finished exactly 0. My health wasn’t the greatest last year and once you fall behind on these challenges - you’ll never catch up. Or at least I don’t.
I WILL however finish all of them - eventually. I might end up posting a Halloween fic in June... but just go with it if I do.
Thanks to everyone that’s left comments/kudos on AO3 or liked/reblogged my fics on here - you’re all amazing!

Week 1
Our first instalment of ‘what pineapple related crap is Chloe posting this week?’ is this snazzy candle holder painted exclusively by yours truly a couple of days ago.
Now to recap: starting from after Thursday’s final scene cos I value my life too much to get into spanner-gate etc.
We’ve got mopey Rob at Brook Cottage (WITH ACTUAL SUGDEN FAMILY INTERACTION - SHOOK) crying into his brekkie. Commiserations babe but you kinda brought this on yourself
Classic in denial Rob misguidedly telling Diane he can fix things and then proceeding to tell Aaron how Aaron feels *major projection of own feelings klaxon*
Aaron being heartbroken and walking away for his own wellbeing and sanity - we’re all super proud of you hun!
Meanwhile we have Rebecca showcasing at least 4 of her personality types (and managing to truly outdo herself in the headf*ck stakes) by saying she’s surprised (?!) and sad about them splitting (?!) to Debs; making out that she wanted them all to be some kind of modern family (the f*ck?) and acting like she hasn’t actively tried to split them up on numerous occasions since she arrived to Vic in the Woolie Kitchens MINUS ANY KIND OF PHYSICAL SIGN THAT SHE IS CARRYING A HUMAN FOETUS IN HER WOMB excuse me while I lie down and try to process that
Then we have NO AARON WHATSOEVER (how are you feeling? what are your thoughts I wanna know?!?)
More mopey Rob throwing paper airplanes in the B&B (Valerie Pollard’s spiritual home, rip) and making us swoon by saying Aaron was his whole life *hearteyes* - you and me both Rob
Robert calling Doug and Diane boring (but Robert, did you know Doug can carve a carrot into a penny whistle, what you saying?)
Pissed Robert telling the alleged mother of his child to her face that she has had multiple sexual partners in a less than ideal fashion and finally (FINALLY) bringing up the paternity issue we’ve all been harping on about since April(!)
Finally we have the best camera shot in weeks and something all Robert fans can agree on - those jeans are A++ (thank you Emmerdale wardrobe department) and that shot includes a magnificent arse - in both senses of the word 😉

All this speculation about Ryan's return had me excited for a while. I didn't get my hopes up exactly (who can forget the Lockdown episode 💔?!) but I did have an extra spring in my steps!!
And then the Inside Soap "insiders" brought us back to earth with the "no current plans" for Ryan's return info.
Not exactly a heartbreak since it was too good to be true 🙄 but it did make me super annoyed. How many times will they use Robert's name to bait people like this? 🥺😡💔
The way these producers treat Robron fans, it's like having a narcissistic, abusive ex! You know they are bad for you and that is why you left. But every now and then they will manage to pull at your heartstrings & try to get something out of you... which by the way, is not you!! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️ And so you are disappointed...in yourself...but not surprised at the ex...and life carries on!
But thinking about this SL from the sidelines, I have two speculations:
1) The producers are genuinely using Robert's exit SL to break up Luke and Vic because that's where it all started and it would be the most contentious. You have to add that they are SO TONE DEAF that they didn't realize mentioning Robert would lead to speculations of return 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
And to be fair, if done properly, this could be a smart move. The last 18 months have shown that Robron cannot be replicated and are virtually IRREPLACEABLE. So Aaron with anyone will be controversial and unless there is a major SL, it will probably be a background ship.... something like Chas and Paddy🙊😂.
But Luke with someone else has potential. Because people do like him. A new gay couple will broaden representation and might win hearts and minds!! 🤔 ( for politics buffs, yes I DID use that reference 😂)
2) The second one is more "out there" but it is my favourite for obvious reasons. Ryan is a prankster. And if he wanted to keep something secret he would go to any lengths to do it. Remember when Emily Head was trying to keep a secret about her SL? No one really cared😂 But she did say in her interview, the lengths to which she went to protect the SL. Ryan might want to do something similar, and I am thinking, also wants to take revenge on The Sun. So I wouldn't put it past him to misdirect the media. It won't be anytime soon. Could be SSW21, could be Christmas....but maybe, me thinks, no current plans means, loose distant plans! 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🙏❤️
Of course, the world doesn't revolve around Robron.... although why doesn't it?! 😂❤️🤷🏻‍♀️....so what more than likely happened is that the story writers didn't even think about Robron while coming up with this story. Ryan left, Robert is in jail, Aaron is building a friendship with a "good guy". So why not use Robert to break up Vic and Luke and maybe give Aaron a shoulder to cry on when he finds out? A nice friendly face who helped Aaron with his sister and with whom Aaron can share how lonely he is? And then, Aaron realises what's good for him, that there is life beyond Robert.....
A slow burn SL just like how these producers like it!!
I used to get mad thinking about it! Like REALLY MAD!!! Crying inconsolably first thing in the morning mad. Because it just feels so wrong, you know?! All of this is based on a premise which makes Aaron like Chas or any of the other characters. But Aaron is special. His love for Robert is special. The way he protects Robert and cares for him is special. His ability to forgive Robert and see through Robert's harsh exterior is special.
I have always said this and I will continue till my last breath. Robert's exit was perfect, brilliant!! A bit of the follow up was also great. But what they did with Aaron is UNFORGIVABLE in my books and I will genuinely never ...erm....forgive...them for it!! (Didn't think that through 😂). Part of me doesn't even want a Robron Reunion under these producers because I have lost all trust in them, especially Ms Hudson.
I'll be honest with you. The "hope dies last" part of me is praying this is a misdirection and something is in the works....
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk! 🙏😂❤️
