Mr Evershed x daughter!reader - some days
Tumblr media
Hiii darling!! Is it possible to request a Martin Evershed x Daughter!reader in which the reader really struggles with Anxiety/social anxiety? If not if your uncomfortable writing this that's absolutely fine! Thank you for taking your time to read this askk - big love you ❤️ - Anon 💜
Generally your dad dropped you off at school when he was leaving. It didn’t make much sense for you to go earlier since he was heading there anyways.
But there were days when he would find you had already left for school, and he knew they were bad days.
The days when your anxiety was so bad you wanted to walk and clear your head, try to calm yourself down before you had to head to lessons.
He was expecting you to turn up, but when he got an email saying you hadn’t made it into your first lesson he began to worry and pulled out his phone to message you.
Mr Evershed knew texting was easier for you, especially on a bad day, and he would never call you unless it was an emergency or you hadn’t replied within so long.
So went he messaged you he set his unlocked phone down on the table and waited for your reply.
You looked at the message from your dad.
Dad: are you in the school?
You debated lying to him, but you had a good relationship with him and you didn’t want to ruin it.
Sighing, you replied to him.
You: no, I’m not. I’m not feeling well I’m going back home.
You weren’t lying, because after sitting in the cool morning air, you didn’t want to be outside anymore and were walking back to the house.
You were around the corner when your phone chimed again.
Dad: is everything alright?
You: I’m just not feeling well.
Your dad sighed as he read your message.
He wanted to go home and check on you, but he couldn’t just leave work, so he decided to message you every now and then.
You texted him when you were home, so he knew if you weren’t responding to him now you had gone to your quiet corner.
And that’s where he found you when he got in.
Sitting in your quiet corner, soft music playing through the room as you sat in the corner of the room surrounded by blankets and some papers.
Walking over, he sat down next to you, covering his legs with a blanket.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked quietly.
You shook your head.
“Is it just a bad day?”
You paused for a second before you nodded.
Mr Evershed nodded back at you.
“Do you want me to make your favourite hot chocolate?”
You nodded again and he smiled.
Getting up, he went and made two hot chocolate’s and brought them in, sitting down with his, he set yours next to you.
He knew when your anxiety was bad you found it hard to communicate. Closed questions you could respond with a nod or a shake of your head were easier, but sometimes you struggled with them as well.
And he understood that. He respected that.
Sometimes it wasn’t easy to go outside, sometimes it wasn’t easy to do every day things, and sometimes you struggled with the worries of everything washing over you.
So he would sit there with you for as long as you needed just so you were reassured that you weren’t alone.
You rested your head on his arm, and he looked at you.
“You’re alright, come here…”
He gently hugged you, and you hugged him back tightly, trying to hide yourself away.
“You’re okay..”
Some days you didn’t want to be around anybody, including him.
And others, just like today, you needed your dad to hug you and remind you that everything was going to be okay

sometimes it’s actually super fun and sexy to get a new actor obsession and start going through their filmography. Like thanks Downton I’m now going to watch everything Rob James-Collier is in because he has a magnetic screen presence and is very talented, thanks a lot haha.

It’s that time of year again! After last year’s success, I thought it would be nice to do another group birthday card for Robert James-Collier. I’ve set one up here: https://www.groupgreeting.com/sign/a02369e3a7590cd
I’d appreciate it if you could do the following by 8th September:
- Write a birthday message for Rob (as long or short as you’d like)
- If you can, post one of your fave photos of him too (professional, screenshot, or casual)
- Feel free to share the above link to others.
To make it a bit different from last year, you could also use the following format if you want, when you are writing your text (although if you want to just write your own thing, feel free):
- Fave role(s):
- Why I’m a fan:
- Describe Rob in five words or less!:
You could also post fan art or poems etc. Go for it!
Thanks!
P.s. for those that don’t know, Rob let us know how much he loved last year’s card, through his friend 🙂
P.p.s. If you can’t add anything to the card directly for some reason, message me and I’ll post it for you.

Watching Ackley Bridge, Waterloo Road and EastEnders at the same time makes me want an AU where Jane and Tanya just left Walford together and both became teachers and are happily in lesbians.

When the funniest and most intriguing crack pairing bursts into life in your brain but it’s so niche you’re probably the only one who can appreciate it. 🥺
Firstly, it’d help a good deal if you’re a Crowbarrow fan to begin with.💗
Tumblr media
Secondly, you’d need to have seen both Kin and Ackley Bridge to fully appreciate why the thought of Michael Kinsella (Charlie Cox) and Martin Evershed (Robert James-Collier) meeting is just sending me right now. 🤣❤️
Martin and Michael seem like such perfect opposites on the surface (one is a frequently surly yet comedic high school teacher and the other is an unexpectedly soft-spoken and sad Irish mobster) that I have a sudden perverse urge to see them forced to interact regularly. 😅 
(But if you haven’t seen both shows, a gif’s worth a 1000 words...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And how are we getting these two in the same place? 
Anna, Michael’s daughter - whom he loves more than anyone - decides she wants to live with her dad even though he doesn’t have legal custody of her, and never will, thanks to his past. Though he tries to dissuade her, Anna is stubbornly resolved and eventually Michael gives in though it means having to leave his criminal family and Ireland behind to start a life somewhere else. 
They end up in the small Yorkshire mill town of Ackley Bridge, hoping to avoid too much notice since Anna was reported as having been abducted to the Irish authorities. Anna enrolls in the local high school, and, naturally, who should one of her new teachers be but Mr. Martin Evershed? 
Anna begins settling in but Michael is still hyper-vigilant about either of them being recognized, not only because Michael would be arrested for “abducting” Anna but because he knows the Kinsella family have enemies who’d like nothing more than to take Michael out now that he’s alone. He insists on escorting Anna to and from school every day, even though she keeps telling him he needs to chill out because he’s just making himself more conspicuous. 
Her words prove prophetic as one day Martin notices Michael following Anna at a distance and confronts him, thinking he’s a creep. Michael thankfully refrains from pulling a gun on him or just beating the shit out of him, though he’d been solely tempted at first, and explains that he’s Anna’s father - which she confirms and introduces Martin as her teacher. Michael is impressed by his willingness to protect his students and tells him so. The subject of an upcoming school dance is raised and Martin asks if he’s interested in attending, because they’re still short of chaperones. Michael agrees, much to Anna’s consternation. 
As they’re leaving Anna suggests Michael let her give him a bit of a makeover, because he still looks like an Irish mobster and they’re not in Dublin anymore. Michael reluctantly agrees, asking her not to go overboard with it. 
The makeover the night of the school dance:

I did mention this was a crack fic, right? 😂😂😂

Mr Evershed x teen!reader - our interests
Tumblr media
Prompt number 20 with mr Evershed x student reader? :) - Anon💜
20: “I can’t read, you know that right?” “You can read, stop lying and help.”
Sitting in the music room, you had your feet kicked up on the chair in front of you, guitar in your hands as you sat playing the tune you had been practicing for a while now.
You had been kicked out of your class, you were supposed to be in resolve, but you had no interest in going to do that.
After all, why would you? The music room was always unlocked first thing in the day anyways, so why not make use of the instruments other students weren’t?
Standing up you walked around your room, a little grin on your face as you emerged yourself into your own world.
The door was opened and you turned around, grinning even more.
“Morning sir.”
“Good morning (Y/N), you were supposed to report to resolve.”
You shrugged a little bit, setting the guitar against the wall.
“It’s a waste of time in there.”
“Then maybe we should reconsider swearing at our teachers.”
You grinned a little bit at him, sitting down on the chair again, kicking your feet up on the chair you had them up on to begin with.
Mr Evershed sighed, propping the door open and made his way over.
“Feet down, let’s go.”
“Nope.”
“This isn’t a debate (Y/N), half the language you used in that argument I can’t even repeat, I don’t even now what some of it means but the point still stands.”
You shrugged a little bit.
“It’s still pointless, you’re going to make me do work I already know how to do.”
“Unfortunately this isn’t up for debate (Y/N), please come with me to resolve.”
You just crossed your arms, looking at him.
You were challenging him, daring him to try and do something to get you to move.
“What if I can promise you that it doesn’t involve doing work you already know how to do?”
You sat up a little bit.
“Depends on what it is.”
“Well, I’ve got a presentation to go through, and since you enjoy being so honest with everybody I thought you could help.”
You grinned from ear to ear.
“I can’t read, you know that right?”
Mr Evershed chuckled a little bit, shaking his head at you as he picked up your bag, swinging it over his shoulder.
“You can read, stop lying and help.”
You laughed a little, getting up to follow him out of the music room.
“What’s it about? Is it a lot of reading because nobody likes that.”
“It’s about Shakespeare, and it’s not a lot of reading you’re just dramatic.”
“Sir you can’t say that it’s not nice.”
He opened the door for you, letting you walk in and sit at one of the tables.
Mr Evershed sat next to you, setting your bag on the ground and he pulled his laptop out of his own bag, setting it on the table so he could set everything up.
“I can, and since you missed the last lesson for English, you can read through the presentation, because this stuff will be on your exam.”
“Come on sir, I know this already.”
“I know, but just humour me please?”
You let out a groan of annoyance, and you titled the laptop towards you, scanning over the first slide.
“That’s wrong.”
“What is?”
“About the characters and symbolism and all that. It’s wrong.”
Mr Evershed smiled a little bit, gesturing to the laptop.
“Go on then, show me.”
You changed the slide, and then you moved to the next one, seeing that it was wrong as well.
You turned to the teacher.
“It’s all wrong isn’t it?”
He chuckled a little bit, setting some paperwork on the table as he began to go through it.
“I know you (Y/N), I know you don’t like to leave things unfinished, or leaving things done wrong when you know the right answer.”
“Touché.”
You took the laptop so you could carry on correcting the work, occasionally going into google so you could do some research.
You were invested in learning, maybe not so much the things you should be learning about, but you were fascinated by facts and history.
Mr Everhsed glanced up half and hour later, and he leant over.
“I don’t think the evolution of birds is going to help.”
“Well I was researching, then I saw something about Darwin, and I had a thought about if it was him who said something about finches and they’re birds and now we’re here.”
He chuckled a little bit.
“Okay, well you can tell me about the evolution of birds after your homework.”
“Ugh fine.”
“Thank you (Y/N).”
You went back to the presentation and paused.
“Homework?”
“Yes, homework. Did you really forget that it’s your own homework?”
“This is mine?”
“Well, not exactly. I know you got somebody else to do it for you. So, now you’re rewriting it.”
You turned to him.
“Lying in a sin.”
“Well, I guess both of us are in trouble then.”
You hummed, nodding your head in agreement before going back to fixing the homework you were supposed to have done last week.
Mr Evershed smiled, turning his attention back to his paperwork.
Not even ten minutes later you were back to researching something else completely unrelated and he pretended not to notice to give you a little more time to do something you enjoyed

I love ackley bridge 1-3 was the best because I think personally I could relate to it in a way and it was more like a school would be and they but season 4-5 was unrealistic and a bit boring 
Yeah, the first three seasons were definitely the most grounded. I think part of the problem was that seasons 1-3 were aimed at an older/more mature audience, while seasons 4-5 were toned down. The runtime was shorter, meaning there was less time to develop the story, and the show in general started to have a more childish tone.
To be fair though, I'm mostly talking about series 4 here. Series 5 had its problems, but was much better than series 4 imo
