I'm actually a really good dancer

As is tradition, a drawing for my birthday.

Inspired by Danny’s chickens since the show is giving me nothing.

hi anon!!!! thank you for the request, i think it’s exactly what the fandom could do with right now!!! here’s just a tiinnyyy selection of some of my faves this year:

endless grey conundrums (painted black and white) by @mellaithwen

[desperate for revenge, cain takes things too far, but it’s kyle that ends up finding robert tied-up, beaten and bloody in the dilapidated barn behind wishing well. oneshot. 5.5k.]

something blue by @whimsywooo

[aaron is ready to settle down and marry his boyfriend of two years: john sugden. everything is fine until he decides to seek out john's moody estranged brother to come to the wedding. romance and insanity ensues. multi-chapter. wip.]

you are cordially invited to by @aaronsugdens

[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. oneshot. 19k.]

and i start to forget all the reasons i cried at your hands by @capseycartwright

[starts taking anti-depressants for the first time in his life. It’s not much of a birthday present - not what he’d imagined he might gift himself for turning forty, robert of old dreaming of fancy holidays, and flash cars - but it’s the best gift he can come up with.

the anti-depressants come with a long list of side effects, and it's just robert's luck he seems to experience them all. oneshot. 5.5k.]

i believe my soul’s on fire by @sugdenkatie

[the fact that they haven’t had sex in a while must be getting to aaron’s head, because while this view of robert would undoubtedly turn him on at any time, he’s driven to near insanity by the desire that wells up inside him. he has to have robert now, or he’s going to lose his mind. oneshot. 2.6k.]

i’m too young to believe until the end by @capseycartwright

[aaron knows this is a bad idea. he’s known it from the first moment he set eyes on victoria sugden’s gorgeous older brother, and decided that he was going to shag him, regardless of what he had to do to make it happen. robert sugden was - well, he was fucking gorgeous, was the thing. he was gorgeous, and smart - and he didn't know aaron existed. oneshot. 13k.]

in your arms (where all my journeys end) by @sugdendeeznuts

[there had been countless sleepless nights over those six years where he’d imagined what it would be like to share a bed with robert again. to feel robert’s cold feet against his leg, to smell the warm skin on the back of his neck, to drift off to sleep to the sound of him snoring on their first night at the farm aaron reflects on sleeping with robert. oneshot. 2.8k.]

always, forever (running back to you) by @enchantedsugden

[aaron tracks robert’s face, lingering on the bruise there left by his own fist. it’s only here, in the low light of their bedroom, that aaron sees it properly, sees how it covers most of robert’s cheek, how it has bloomed into a more purplish mark. oneshot. 1.9k.]

i couldn’t keep the pain away from this house by @aelric

[aaron wanted to visit, but between the farm and keeping his mother’s nerves in check, he wasn’t able to. he rang the hospital, but the staff simply told him that robert didn’t want to take any calls. that sent him into free fall, plagued by memories of denied visits and divorce papers. he was being cut off. robert was leaving him all over again. but then, two weeks later, he got a text. 'they’re discharging me tomorrow. can you come and get me?' or; robert falls apart. oneshot. 3.5k.]
