    Summary

    “You did the right thing,” Liam tells him later, pulled apart from Vic’s sobbing and John’s quiet placations. Aaron’s mum’s somewhere, getting them tea and hating the fact she’s having to make gentle noises about Robert of all people. “He needs more help than Vic’s able to give him.”

    He needs me, Aaron thinks viciously and hates himself for it immediately.

    He doesn’t. Robert needs doctors and therapy and medication. Needs someone to formally call it what it is so he can move forward with his life.

    He doesn’t need an ex-husband who’s living the same day over and over again and never managing to actually do anythin’.

     

    [Or, Aaron's stuck in an August 18th time loop.]

    Summary

    "And," Aaron says, smiling widely now, "we're already married."

    "What?!" comes a shriek from the doorway, as Chas is wheeled in by an orderly. Her arm is in a sling, and she looks tired and pissed, and Aaron swears under his breath.

    He takes in a breath like he's about to say something, when a doctor comes in behind Chas and reads off a tablet, "Alright then, Mr… Aaron Sugden? I just have a few last notes to go over with you-"

    "What?!" this shriek is louder and Robert winces.

    Summary

    “Make a wish then,” he urges, holding the cupcake just close enough that April can blow out the candle without singeing her hair.

    April looks around her — sees a bunch of idiots, all joking around and clinging to each other, all pleased to be ringing in the new year together as a family — then closes her eyes, extinguishing the flame with a soft whoosh.

    Summary

    There are moments when Aaron will look at Robert and wonder how much of him actually came back from prison. Robert keeps a routine, strict and unyielding, nowadays. Aaron will blink awake to Robert slipping out of the bedroom door, he’ll come home from the scrapyard to catch Robert washing up his dishes and heading out again. They have vast fields and herds of cattle to tend to so it’s easy for Robert to get lost out there. Lost to Aaron, at least, looking out of the back-facing window to try and get a glimpse of his husband who always seems to be on his way out when Aaron enters.

    after prison, and John, and Kev, Aaron and Robert should be happy and excited and ready to get on with the rest of their lives but things have never been made easy for them
