Oooh man,strap yourself in! Iif rewriting 2017 (and angst was needed) I'd have done the below (apologies as its long):

The ONS didn't happen, he kissed her but stopped himself.

B*x still gets pregnant from Ross, she finds out he's cheated on her, so she and Chrissie decide to punish both Ross and Robert by claiming she didn't know who the father is.

Aaron's back at this point and still vulnerable from prison. Rob can't account for where he was that night (passed out or whatever) and Adam points out B*x had been in Mill with him alone.

Chaddy and Liv are all convinced Rob cheated, they persuade Aaron. Aaron breaks up with him, he's not in a good place either.

Robert spirals quickly as he actually did nothing wrong, gets on the wrong side of Cain's fists (while trying to talk to Aaron) and ends up in hospital.

Over a few months:

Dingles turn on Robert for hurting Aaron, the Sugdens and rest of the village thinks he's vile because he's not stepping up for his unborn kid. Robert starts drinking and blacking out. Ross is a model soon to be dad in comparison.

Lawrence offers Robert his old job back as 'he's family again', and helps get him set up in Jacob's Fold.

Liv trashes Rob's house, steals his car and burns it. Cain threatens Robert if he dares report her to the police. Liv feels guilty and starts drinking.

Lachlan takes advantage of Robert's drinking and starts hurting people/damaging things (including drugging Liv) and the blame gets put on Robert, who doesn't know he didn't do it.

Robert gets arrested and released on lack of evidence, everyone thinks he's guilty anyway.

Liv ends up in hospital, Aaron meets Alex, that all happens, they get together but Aaron is just as happy as he was in canon.

Lawrence spends time trying to get Robert to step up as a father, then actually listens to him and starts doubting if the baby is Robert's. Robert tries to sort himself out.

His doubts are half because he has his weird crush, but they actually bond like normal human beings and we see what their relationship was like before Rob met Chrissie (although the canon Robrence stuff was fucking hilarious).

Robert starts coping because he loves his job and has a home of his own, he's sure that the paternity results will bring Aaron back to him. Aaron is angry/upset that Robert is back at Home Farm.

Baby is born, both Ross and Rob take paternity tests (Rob to use as proof 100% that it wasn't his, as he been denying it from the very start).

Results come back, the dingles just assume that Robert HAD doubted paternity or he wouldn't have taken the test. They still think he cheated and lied about it. Aaron agrees with them, he's exhausted and miserable and just wants to be back with Rob but can't let himself as he's not ready.

Rob has a complete, full on mental breakdown now he realises he's lost Aaron for good, even though he'd not cheated, and he's found by either Jimmy/Nicola or Vanessa, who take him to the hospital or mental health clinic.

B*x and Chrissie wonder if they went too far, Lachlan confesses the crime he did and blamed drunken Robert for, Lawrence overhears and throws them all out, he can't believe his own family would do that.

Lawrence tells Aaron and his family the truth, Aaron tries to visit at the mental health clinic but Robert won't let anyone visit. He lashes out at his family for telling him to break up with Robert.

Lawrence plans to take Lachlan, Chrissie B*x and Seb out of the country. Ross overhears and takes Seb, Lachlan crashes the car as per canon, but B*x is the only one who dies.

Ross gets custody of the baby, Lawrence gives Robert some cash as an apology. Lachlan goes to prison for everything he blamed/ set up Robert for, and the crash.

Rob comes home, Aaron offers to break up with Alex for him, Robert turns him down. He's now the one who's mentally exhausted, and unable to be with anyone until his head is sorted. He's A Wreck.

Rob goes to A LOT of therapy and starts doing up Jacob's Fold as a project. Aaron and Vic help and they both fix their relationships with Rob over some time.

I like this mainly because:

We still get the angst and break up.

Robert isn't in the wrong (he always is, in canon, and it's really fucking annoying).

I wish we'd had more Rob & Lawrence, frankly. Larry's one sided crush was great 😂.

B*x could have actually had a proactive role and stepped into being awful, instead of just being a vessel of the Plot.

We get more bitchy Chrissie, I love her.

More spiteful Liv, it's in character as she's always borderline hated Robert anyway.

We see how quickly the Dingles and Sugdens turn on Robert, and afterwards they realise they should have been nicer.

Robert. Has. An. Actual. Breakdown. And. Gets. Therapy.

anon you hurt my SOUL with some of this!

It's good though, definitely better than the shitshow we actually got! I'm so torn on rebecca though. She had so much potential to be the top bitch and screw over her family before the plot made her the eternal victim of evil Robert.

Her and Robert scheming together to take down the whites would have been gold. And then they'd split Larry's money 50/50 and robron use their share for surrogacy.

and a couple of dogs.

Consensual robrence. Maybe the past wasn’t quite what it seemed, and no one was entirely to blame for what happened next. 

[lostwithoutmyritual]

I’m in the delightful year of 2017 doing my rewatch and I’ve just realised poor Finn actually died believing Robert and Lawrence actually slept together

[sweetcandygirl21]

A moment's silence for the end of the other half of Robrence 💀💀💀

Robert x Lawrence (16/16)

He was an older man and it was just a facade, but he gave me a strange comfort so I led him on.

[sugdenlovesdingle]

I recently watched the 'Robert and Lawrence' bit of 2017 and it's hilarious how freaked out Robert gets when he realises Lawrence actually wants him in that hotel room.

I know it's not a fan favourite, but dear God I found it so funny when Robert realised he'd taken it too far and was trying so hard to backtrack. 😂👌

Poor Larry, in another life he got his sugar baby but it sure as hell wasn't this one 😹 🙈

Lol yeah Robert trying to break the world record slow sandwich eating!

But not a fan favourite? A lot of people LOVE that scene and the whole 'robrence' era.

I'm getting war flashbacks just typing that - though it was funny that in Rob's mind 'fake seducing larry' was easier and more appealing than fake seducing rebecca or even chrissie to get his hands on the white family fortune.

Happy birthday @eloquentmydear!!! I love you loads, thank you for always leading the good ship robrence 😗

Hotel fix it drabble under the cut

It had been a tense wait for Lawrence, trying to get Robert alone like this. He'd planned the hotel the second Robert announced he was leaving: he couldn't let him go, not without fighting for the man he loved.

He'd hated Robert for so long, watched him lust after both of his daughters, and after that foolish boy Aaron. Jealousy had seeped through every pore in his body until it had taken over, waves of desperation coming out as anger and repression. The younger man had proven himself, though, and shown himself to be the man Lawrence always knew he could be; to a lesser extent the man he'd always wanted himself to be.

It had been a tough journey for them both, but Lawrence was ready- ready to take the next step with Robert. He'd been through so much trauma but he could be himself with Robert, he trusted him in a way even Ronnie couldn't compare to. He was in love with Robert, always had been, always would be. This was the man he could give all of himself to.

He'd lured Robert here under the pretence of there being a business meeting; it wasn't QUITE a lie if the rumours of Robert and his ex getting filthy in barns while having business meetings were to be believed. Robert wasn't stupid, he knew exactly why he was here.

- The colour drained from Robert's face as he entered their supposed business meeting, but he quickly composed himself. He'd known that sex was on the cards, but the reality of it all hitting him was a mix of dread and sheer excitement.

He wanted it, he wouldn't have gone this far if he didn't, but he hadn't been with anyone new in so many years- since Aaron- that he had been doubting himself and his abilities. He respected how difficult Lawrence found intimacy, and he wanted to make it special. He just didn't know if he could be the man Lawrence deserved.

The nerves took over before he had the chance to make a move, and he relished the chance to have a romantic afternoon tea with Lawrence. He wanted this to be more than just sex, he wanted romance and to savour their time together before Robert had to leave.

Despite his nerves, the wait for Robert was agonising. Lawrence was all he could see; all he could think about and he'd never been so sure of anything in his life as he was that the beat of his heart was Lawrence's and Lawrence's alone.

The last sandwich- hummus and coriander because the gods clearly had a grudge against him- was consumed. It was time.

- Lawrence was shaking at the very sight of Robert, knowing he was so close to him, so close to making him his own. What an inconvenience it was, then, that Robert was too busy checking his phone to share this tension, this heat with him.

"Please, put the phone down", Lawrence purred, brushing his hand against Robert's. The beautiful, vulnerable face before him was fixed on Lawrence, with a desire that meant the phone was long forgotten.

"It's off, there's nothing getting between us now", Robert whispered, nibbling against Lawrence's ear. He turned his face, and bit on Lawrence's lip; finally the afternoon could truly begin.

Are you still working on your sequel to your Robert/Lawrence's Fic "... Or Does He?"?

Yes! I haven't touched it for a while (because of the hellscape we're living in that's just Free Daily Anxiety) but it will happen.
