Aaron glares at him over his pint. “Stop trying to be mates with my ex-husband.”
“Well," Mack grins, stealing a handful of Aaron's chips. "I’m not mates with your current one, so I’m just balancing it out.”

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."

“It’s called Aphasia,” the doctor tells them, clinical and detached.
Aaron wants to punch her in the mouth. Robert’s keeping a death grip on Aaron’s hand, nails digging into the skin of Aaron’s palm. It’s grounding, a familiar pain that Aaron will carry for eternity if it helps Robert. “What does that mean?”

Summary
“Leave me alone, Robert,” Aaron says, and it tastes like relief on his tongue, the words ready and waiting.
“I am,” Robert says, off-script. “In case you hadn’t noticed.”
[Aaron doesn't want Robert, except for how he's never wanted anything else.]

Summary
“We can’t,” Robert finally says, peeling himself away. He doesn’t miss the stricken look on Aaron’s face, like his whole body might crumple with the weight of it.
“Robert, I thought - ”“No, no, no.” Robert pushes back in, cradling Aaron’s face in his hands. “I meant I can’t come inside. Not tonight.”
After Aaron asks Robert to come home, Robert decides he still needs to earn it first.

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)

Summary
“The terms.”
Robert stares ahead, at the darkness currently shrouding Hell from his view. “I keep walking,” Robert starts, unable to focus on anything but the thud of his heart in his chest. It’s like you’re talking about a contract, he thinks. This is just a deal that you need to fucking win. Except the stakes - and the payoff - were so much more than Robert could handle. “I keep walking until I get to the lake where there’ll be a boat waiting to take me back."
Hades nods, leaning casually against a pillar.
"I don’t look back,” Robert continues, words sticking in his throat. “He’ll be behind me, following me out of hell, but the instant I look back, he’ll vanish and he’ll-“
He trails off, unable to make himself say it.
“He’ll be mine,” Hades supplies. “His life for your inability to put his needs above your own.”

Summary
He knew, in the back of his mind, that it was their Connection that was sending sparks rushing through him, numbing every sense until all he knew was Aaron, but the realist in him – the one that grew up never believing that fate could bring two strangers together and bond them. The one that believed it could never happen to someone you knew, that it was meant for those with more poetic souls that lived life as if love was all there was – believed he would have felt this way about Aaron regardless.
Or, Aaron and Robert don’t exactly have the meet-cute worth writing home about, but Fate has other ideas in mind.
