Summary
If Aaron never goes to another wedding in his life, it will be too soon. With all the peripheral Dingles coming out of the woodwork, he’s at a wedding almost every other weekend at this stage.
When he was younger, there was a period of time where he had been so incredibly alone, no relationship with his mum, no way in hell he was going back to his dad, no friends or family to speak of. That version of him would look at him now in wonder and awe, and Aaron’s sure current him feels that way too, somewhere. Underneath the exhaustion and weariness and irritation at being asked by yet another distant relative if he’s up next, he’s definitely appreciative of how his life has turned around. Well, definitely is a bit strong.
He’ll probably feel better about the whole thing once he’s completely pissed at the afters.

Summary
“Time to wake up, slacker.”
Aaron’s heart comes to a halt, and he must still be drunk. He must be sick with alcohol and love and longing and everything that’s wrong with him.
“Rise and shine, eh?”
Aaron is tired. He is barely awake, and his half-drunk, half-asleep mind is fucking with him already, and there isn’t really a point in trying to fall asleep again.
Robert is not here. He is at the hospital, with a tube down his throat and a wound in his chest.Bookmarked by NLRS

Summary
The gold ring glints in the sliver of sunlight that peeks through the gap in the curtains in Aaron’s hotel room the next morning, sitting innocuously on the floor in the pile of clothes Robert had shirked off with haste the second the door slammed shut behind them. A glittering reminder that Aaron should give up on romance and join a convent or somethin’ because the universe clearly has it in for him.
Jackson, dead. Ed, a canvas of bruises from other (rugby, but still) lads. Ben, terminally boring. Marco, the only Italian in history to not like pasta. Robert, married.
About sums up his luck.

Summary
The audience all begin to clap like seals in some kind of waterpark show in Tenerife, and Aaron rolls his eyes and joins in too when Mack elbows him in the ribs and nods in the direction of Nicola from HR, who is frowning at him from across the room with beady eyes. Aaron sighs through his nose and turns his gaze back towards the front, raises an eyebrow in curiosity when he sees the twitch of unease in Robert’s almost photoshoot perfect grin as he takes Lawrence’s hand and squeezes tight.
“I give it six months before he’s caught shagging one of the salesgirls over his desk.” Mack murmurs to him from the corner of his mouth; Aaron snorts and tilts his head in further towards him.
“Bet you a tenner it’s five.”

Summary
It’d been touch and go, Andy told him when Robert finally picked up the phone, but he’d made it. There hadn't been much else to say given the resentment still clinging to them at the time, but Robert had taken annual leave and headed back to Emmerdale, sat around the kitchen table as Vic cried on his shoulder and Diane fussed and Annie called from a bad connection in Spain, and braved himself to see his dad for the first time in three years.
In typical Jack Sugden fashion, he’d barely reacted to Robert’s presence, taking it as a given, and Robert had bitten his tongue and tried not to scream.
[Or: Robert's home for the weekend, which would be fine if they were a normal, healthy family.]
