Summary
Matty presses his face into Vic’s shoulder, his arms around her torso bringing her closer as he tries to gather himself. She smells like lavender and fresh air, a scent that’s so unequivocally her that it lights him up again, which only makes everything worse as Amy’s face is still there when he closes his eyes.
He should be pulling away, but he can’t, needing the comfort her embrace provides too much. She’s the only person he wants to be with right now, despite all the messy feelings that accompany all of their interactions these days. Maybe what he’s feeling isn’t even real, and all of this is just his grieving mind projecting his love for Amy onto Victoria, so it has somewhere to go.
Matty and Victoria find comfort in each other.

Summary
Aaron shuffles. He can feel the heat coming off him, knows he's dancing too close to the fire. Does it anyway.
“Of course I still want you around.”
It hurts him to say it, like pressing on bruise he didn't know was there.

Summary
Canon divergence AU where, after the trial, Aaron tells Robert he just wants to be friends. A slow burn featuring character growth, plenty of angst, and a new face in Emmerdale that might prove troublesome for Aaron.
Please heed the tags and warnings at the beginning of each chapter.
***
"Robert will do anything to protect those he considers to be his family. He’ll lie, he’ll cheat, he’ll use people like puppets and hurt anyone he needs to if, in the long run, it means he wins. Aaron isn’t like that. He isn’t cold; he’s raw and dangerous, a force of fucking nature when provoked, and there’s no stopping him. Getting in his way is like trying to bottle a hurricane. Robert has never seen anything as beautiful or as dangerous as Aaron Livesy when someone hurts a person he loves."
