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.💗

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...)

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? 😂😂😂

#my weird Crowbarrow shipper brain: party of one #yep so I just needed to hopefully get that out of my system 😅🤭😂#kindly ignore the insanity that is this post lol #my random ramblings #crack fics I'm too lazy to write #charlie cox #robert james collier #michael kinsella #martin evershed #anna areoye #duke of crowborough #philip villiers #thomas barrow #crowbarrow #kin amc #ackley bridge #long post

Mr Evershed x Student!reader - in your corner

A/N: this is for all you peoples going through mock exams and such rn! You can do this! And a bit of comfort for me cause I wanted some Evershed comfort 💜

Leg bouncing up and down, you twisted the pen between your fingers as you stared at the paper in front of you.

As you stared at the words on the page, you felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety wash over you, and the words didn’t make any sense anymore.

Looking at the clock, you turned back to your papers, it had only been half an hour and the mock exam didn’t end for another hour and fifteen minutes. The total running times was an hour and forty five minutes, but it felt like it had been centuries.

You tried flicking through the questions like you were told to do, but it was useless and you finally gave up, closing the booklet you rested your head on your arms and closed your eyes.

A few minutes later there was a tapping sound on your desk and you looked up.

Mr evershed was crouched at the said on the desk, resting his arms on the edge as he tapped the paper under yours arms.

“That must be the fastest someone’s ever completed the exam.” He chuckled.

You said nothing and went back to resting your head in your arms.

“(Y/N)?“ the teacher asked.

“I haven’t done it…” you mumbled.

“Can I have a look?” He asked.

You shrugged and lifted your arms for him to take the papers and flick through them.

Thankfully you were at the back of the hall and no one could see but you were still getting more and more anxious and worked up as the moments ticked by.

“(Y/N) you know this stuff, I know you do.” Mr Evershed sighed.

“I don’t… sir I don’t understand any of it…”

Sitting up, you leant back in your chair doing anything to avoid the gaze of the teacher holding the exam papers.

“Why haven’t you tried to answer them?” He asked softly.

“Because I thought sleeping was more fun obviously.” You snapped slightly.

Mr Evershed set the papers down on your desk and gave you a disapproving look.

“All I’m asking is you try, here.”

He crouched down and opened a page and pointed to the question.

“I know you know this (Y/N), you’ve done this stuff before.”

“I don’t…”

“You do, okay. Just think, take a deep breath and think about this, okay? Don’t rush it.”

With that he got up and walked away, checking on everyone else while you just stared at the paper in the booklet.

Looking up, you looked around the room before looking back down at the paper.

You shook your head and closed the paper, standing up, you walked out the room as if you were on autopilot, your legs just carried you.

You didn’t think, you didn’t really have any destination in mind, you just wanted to go, you wanted to leave.

So that’s what you did, you went to your locker to grab your bag and you walked towards the main entrance of the school.

“(Y/N)!” Sam yelled.

Stopping, you turned to her and frowned as she jogged over.

“Shouldn’t you be in the exam?” She asked.

“Shouldn’t you be in class?” You responded.

“Yeah but I couldn’t hack it.” She shrugged.

“Yeah.. same…”

She gave you a gentle smile and gestured to the doors of the school.

“Wanna get some ice cream?”

You nodded and you both left the school without bothering to think twice as you guys quickly ran from the school grounds so you wouldn’t be caught.

You were thankful to your friend for distracting you, but eventually Sam had to go, and she gave you one last look.

“Are you going to get home okay?” She asked.

“Yeah.. yeah I am. Don’t worry, I’ll text you okay?”

“Right, good.”

She left and you carried on sitting on the rock looking over the town, you didn’t stay too long, you wanted to be home before it started to get dark.

So you made your way back to the house and pulled your keys from your pocket as the front door came into sight.

Walking over, you let yourself in and closed it, locking it behind you as you tossed your bag on the floor and kicked your shoes off.

Pulling your phone out, you played some music as you walked to the kitchen as you started to work in cleaning the mess you had made before school while you were making your breakfast.

The whole evening you spent watching TV or playing some games before you went to bed.

Waking up the following morning, you looked at the time and grumbled, sending a text to Sam saying you weren’t coming in.

You lounged about all morning, ignoring your phone as it rang and decided to work on some errands you had to do.

You started with dragging the new boxes of furniture you had to build out and setting the tool box next to it, then you grabbed the shopping list from the fridge and made your way to the shops.

You pushed the cart around as you pulled stuff in, sometimes stopping to look at something that wasn’t in the list and to debate if you really wanted it or needed it.

While walking home, you heard someone call out your name and you stopped walking and set the shopping bags on the floor as you turned around to look at the car that had pulled up behind you.

Mr Evershed got out and he jogged over, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he frowned heavily.

“We nearly reported you missing, why haven’t you answered your phone? Why hasn’t your parents rang us back? If it weren’t for Sam I was going to call the police and tell them you were missing!” He scolded.

You pulled your phone out and showed him your blocked contacts and it was the school and a few missed calls from a withheld number.

“I got fed up of the school calling me and I don’t answer unknown numbers, gotta be safe innit.” You shrugged.

“Right, and your parents?”

“My guess? In the middle of the ocean probably basking in the sunlight or whatever they only dock once a week or some crap like that I don’t know try email them.”

“Right this is serious (Y/N). We need to talk.”

“Well I’m busy, my milks gonna go off and you’ll have to buy me a new one.”

Mr Evershed looked at the bags on the floor and sighed, gesturing to the car park not far away.

“I’ll take you home but I’m serious okay? We need to talk about what happened.”

“It’s fine. It’s not that far.”

He sighed and held his hands out to you as you picked up the numerous shopping bags on the floor.

“Come on, you’re gonna break your arms carrying them like that.”

“It’s not even that many.”

“Right, and when your arms fall off I’m just going to stand here and tell you I told you so.”

You rolled your eyes and carried on walking and he walked along side of you.

“You know you can get arrested for leaving your car there.”

“Come on, just a small chat, that’s all I’m asking for. What do you say?”

You didn’t reply.

He spun around and walked backwards, looking down at you as he kept an eye on his car.

“If your arms fall off I’m going to leave them there and take your shopping.”

“Did you just say you’re going to rob me?”

“It’s not stealing if you can’t pick them up anymore.”

You stopped walking and he grinned down a little at you as he held his hands out again.

“Fine, okay, whatever.”

You held out your hands, letting him take the bags from you and you followed him back to his car to let him drop you off home.

He refused to let you carry the bags out, and you left him to follow you as you entered the house.

“Watch the crap on the floor.”

“Doing some DIY?” He asked.

“Trying to, I don’t really know how but they need built since I broke the other draws.”

You focused on putting your shopping away and offered the teacher a drink.

He accepted and you made some tea, setting a cup on the table as you set yours on the floor beside you and started to unbox the new furniture.

“So, want to tell me what happened yesterday?”

“What’s there to say. You’re a teacher, figure it out.”

“Well, I’m thinking that you got worried. Overwhelmed? Am I along the right line?” He asked.

“Its no use sir, I just.. I looked at it and the words went right through me… I couldn’t focus… I couldn’t do it…”

He sighed.

“(Y/N) you’re a bright student, I’ve seen your class work okay? I know you know this stuff, you just need to learn how to focus, how to calm yourself.”

You ignored him and focused on trying to follow the instructions in front of you.

Your hands were shaking and you were getting frustrated again trying to figure out where the parts were supposed to go.

“Look, we can set something up for you. Extra classes, support, practice exams. You just need to tell us what will help you.”

You tossed the screw driver across the room in frustration and stood up, running a hand down your face.

“What will it matter?! My parents couldn’t care less! They’re too busy taking fancy vacations across the world! They don’t care about helping me! They don’t care about my grades or what I do sir! The information just won’t stick, I’ll be lucky if I land some dead end job after all this!” You yelled.

“(Y/N), look at me.”

You refused and left the room, heading into the hallway you slumped against the wall and buried your face in your knees.

“I can’t.. I can’t do this sir.. I can’t.. I can’t even put some god damn furniture together…”

“You just need someone to show you, to teach you.”

There was some movement and he walked over.

“All you need is someone to be in your corner, and even if no one else is I am.” He spoke gently.

Looking up, you found him crouching in front of you, a smile on his hand as he held the instruction booklet you were trying to follow.

“Why…?”

“Because I know you’re capable of so much more then you think. Come on.”

He got up and went back into the front room and you followed him.

He sat down and gestured for you to sit next to him so you did, setting the paper down in front of the pair of you.

“Just breathe. Read the first section and tell me what you think you need to do.”

You carefully read the words and looked around the parts and picked a few up.

“We need to connect these two first.”

“Good, here.”

He handed you the hammer from the tool box and you got to work.

While you worked he asked you questions that were in the exam, asking you to think about what they meant first before asking you to give your answer.

And before you knew it you were finished and you had successfully completed both the building of the draws and the exam you had walked out for yesterday.

“Absolutely perfect, you smashed it (Y/N).”

“Wait.. really..?”

He smiled and laughed, placing a hand on your shoulder.

“Yeah, you successfully answered every single one of those questions. All you need is to take your mind of it. Think of something else while doing it, a song or a film or whatever it is you like. Focus on that to calm yourself down, okay?”

You nodded your head and smiled a little at him.

“Thanks sir…”

“No problem, now, do you think you can tackle this coffee table?”

You looked at it and turned back to him.

“Could you maybe help…? Ask me revision questions while I build it?”

“Of course I can, if that’s whats going to help you with this then of course. But I need you to promise me something.”

You nodded and turned your attention to him.

“I want you to come to school tomorrow okay? You’re going to come find me first thing and you’re going to retake that mock exam, and you’re going to answer just like you’ve done. Then you’re going to write me a list of everything you think will help you, everything we can do as a school to help you okay?”

“Okay.”

“You promise me?”

You smiled and nodded.

“I promise sir.”

Mr Evershed nodded his head with a smile and began to ask you more revision questions while you worked on your next DIY project.

You were a bright student and he could see that, you just needed someone who was willing to work with you to support you. Someone to show you you’re able to do more then you think

Saul doesn't kill Andreas at Aster Dell - instead, he tries to warn Farah and Ben. As a consequence, Rosalind punishes him, erasing and changing his memories to send him into the human world, alongside two children he is now responsible for. It goes as well as one might expect, and surly teenagers, distrusting colleagues and a Burnt One in the school yard are only the tip of the ice berg.

Or: A very weird cross-over fic that grew legs on its own and ran away from me :)

my thoughts about the first two eps of s5 of ackley bridge

i should probably title this “my thoughts about martin” bcos that’s all it is.

needless to say, spoilers await

1. what happened to his kids? they just disappeared i guess

2. him and the new gf are serious omg

3. and mega horny but i would be too its okay

4. i want to see more of kayla and marina’s thoughts about their headteacher dating their mam. im guessing marina isnt very happy about it, going off of how rude she was to martin, but what about kayla?

5. sam’s gone. sam’s gone! farewell! (i hated her so much - love the actress with all my heart but fuck u sam)

6. whos betting loraine peeked through the curtains while martin and (i forgot to gf’s name) were banging? hopefully he shut them omg

7. loved the focus on martin even though it didn’t continue through to the third and fourth episode

8. LOVE his fancy car. my man is loadedddddd. his house is nice too. big sugar daddy vibes.

9. the story line abt gf’s debt was so rushed i hated it. like. there was zero buildup just ‘oh babes we lost the house bcos i keep spending money’. like could we not have had a couple of scenes portraying her escalation into debt? felt so rushed and uncomfy

10. the gf is leaving for glesga! noooo!

11. she’s going to come back i know it. my prediction is she finds out shes pregnant. or kayla finds out shes pregnant. either way they’ll be coming back.

Martin Evershed x reader - my lookalike

Okay you do crossovers right? If yes, could you do one where Saul meets with Evershed as the Reader is Saul's best friend and is dating Evershed? - Anon 💜

You looked at the man next to you in the car.

“You didn’t have to come Saul.”

“Well, you’re always going to the first world every weekend, I wanted to meet the reason why.” He smirked.

“Saul!”

He laughed, giving you a little grin as you pulled up in front of the school.

“Wow, he must be young.”

“Saul Silva I will slap you. He’s a teacher.”

“So you just go from one school to another?” He asked in confusion.

“They don’t live in schools here, not all of them anyways. This is just a normal school, no dorms or anything.”

“So… everyone just leaves?”

“Yup.”

“That’s not very safe.”

“It’s the first world Saul, not the other world.”

He shrugged a little and you held your hand up to him, telling him to wait as you walked into the school.

“Hey Loraine, is he in?”

“(Y/N) hi! Yes of course.” She smiled.

Smiling back you walked into the office and leant against the door, smiling to yourself as you watched him working away at his desk.

“You’re looking stressed love.”

He snapped his head up and his frown faded into a smile as he looked at you.

“Hello Martin.” You smiled.

“You came.” He said softly.

He walked over and you met him halfway, tucking your arms under his blazer as you hugged him, resting your forehead on shoulder as he kissed the top of your head.

“I told you I would. I can’t stay long, Saul is waiting in the car, are we still meeting at the bar?” You asked.

Martin pulled away from you and nodded his head.

“Yes, yes of course do you need the keys?”

“Please, and don’t worry Saul only here for this weekend, practically bullied me into letting him come.” You laughed.

Martin chuckled softly, going back to his desk, he grabbed his house keys and held them out for you and you smiled.

“Thank you darling, we’ll meet you there.”

You kissed him softly and gave him a grin before you left and made your way back inside the car and started to drive to the house.

“Where we going now?” Saul asked.

“Martin’s house, we’re going to drop out stuff and get a taxi to the bar.”

He nodded his head and when you guys got to the car he grabbed both your bags while you unlocked the door to let him in.

He set everything down and you looked at him, looking at his armour and you shook your head.

“Absolutely not Saul, no armour no sword.”

“What if something happens?”

“What the hell is going to happen in a bar Saul?”

He shrugged a little and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

“I’m bringing them.”

“Saul we can’t go walking around with swords on our backs!” You hissed.

“Fine! God you’re no fun.”

“You’re just asking to be set on fire aren’t you?”

“Ooo alright then. You wouldn’t even dare.”

You hummed, walking over as you poked his shoulder and he shuffled back a little bit.

“Ouch?”

“Oh don’t be pathetic Saul it doesn’t even hurt but I know you still have the scar from when you pissed me off as kids.”

He raised his hands and stood up, taking his armour off, but he gestured to the shirt he was wearing.

“I’m keeping this on.”

“Well I don’t want you to take it off.”

“You sure.” He smirked.

“Silva I swear I will burn you to ashes.”

You grabbed his armour and sword and stuffed it into the cupboard under the stairs and gestured for him to follow you so he did.

You got a taxi to the bar and got a booth in the corner you and Martin always sat at at he got up.

“Going to get some drinks.”

“You got money?” You asked.

He stopped, turning to face you.

“Can I have money?”

Laughing, you shook your head and handed him your bank card so he could order drinks and you looked at your watch.

It wouldn’t be long until Martin got there, so until he did you and Saul spoke about work while you waited.

You excused yourself to get more drinks and Saul sat sipping at his drink when he noticed someone standing a bit lost at the table.

He flicked his eyes up.

“Sorry I thought (Y/N) was here.” Martin said.

“They were, just gone to get drinks.” Saul said.

He stuffed his phone into his pocket and looked up, and he couldn’t help but stare, and neither could Martin.

It was almost like staring into a mirror, except the only different was clothing, hair and facial hair.

“Martin!” You beamed.

You set the drinks down and he looked at you, smiling softly as he placed his hand on the side of your face and leant down to quickly kiss you.

He pulled away and let you sit in the booth first before he sat down next to you.

“Martin, this is Saul Silva, my best friend. Saul, this is Martin, my boyfriend.” You smiled.

The two stared at each other again and Martin leant close to you.

“Why does he look like me…?” He asked nervously.

You blinked, and looked between the pair of them before laughing loudly.

“I didn’t even think of that.” You snickered.

Martin looked at you and you looked at him, taking his hand in yours as you gave it a gentle squeeze.

“It’s a big world, it’s nothing more than a coincidence love, don’t worry about it. You’re both from different worlds remember?”

“Right, right.” Martin nodded.

He looked back at your best friend.

“I don’t like it.. it’s weird…” he mumbled out.

Saul looked at you, a smirk creeping up on his face.

“You know if you wanted to date me you could’ve just asked.” He teased lightly.

Leaning over, you smacked the back of his head and he pouted a little, rubbing his head.

“Damn, okay. That’s not nice.”

“Sucks for you doesn’t it Saul.” You smirked.

You rested your head on Martin shoulder and he still couldn’t get over the fact how much Saul looked like him.

“Hey, if we swapped clothes would you recognise us?” Saul asked.

Martin turned his attention to you.

“Would you?”

“Of course I would. One is my annoying childhood best friend and the other is my dear loving boyfriend, of course.”

You guys talked and Martin and Saul got to know each other a little more and you all went back home.

Saul slept on the sofa, and you got changed, resting your head on Martin’s shoulder as you laid next to him in bed.

You held his hand and he rested his head on yours.

“I don’t know when I’ll next be able to come.” You said.

“That’s alright, you’ll be safe won’t you?” He asked.

“Of course love.”

You smiled up at him and cuddled up to him, and he wrapped his arms protectively around you.

Morning came and you woke up after Martin, so you padded down the stairs to the kitchen and stopped when you looked at the two men in front of you.

Both of them smiled at you and you flicked your gaze between them.

Walking over to the one in the Alfea uniform you walked over and placed a hand on the side of his face, leaning up to softly kiss him.

“Morning Martin.”

Walking to the other man, you backhanded his stomach making him groan with a chuckle.

“Morning idiot.”

“Damn how can you tell?” Saul asked.

You flicked the kettle on while the two men swapped shirts.

Turning around, you looked at them and shook your hand, holding your hand out for Martin and he took it, letting you pull him over.

“This man, is adorable, innocent looking.”

Then you pointed to Saul.

“You look like a mess, and your hair is also shorter then his.”

“So if we had the same hair you wouldn’t be able to tell?” Martin asked.

You looked up at him, bumping your hip against his as you turned around to make your drink.

“I would. Your face instantly goes softer when you look at me, Saul’s turns into a grin like he’s planning something.

The two men chuckled and Saul started looking around for something to eat.

“Oh by the way is that a sword under my stairs?” Martin asked.

“Yeah that’s mine.” Saul said.

“Why’s there a sword under my stairs?”

“I wouldn’t let him take it with him to the bar, and we came straight after his classes end.” You explained.

Martin nodded his head and carried your drink over to the table for you and all three of you sat down and you looked between them both with a smile.

Sure, okay it was a little weird they looked alike, but it was nice having your two favourite men in the same room
