Summary
As Carla and Lisa’s two worlds overlap, moments of warmth and humour sit alongside difficult truths, forcing both of them to confront what it means to trust someone with the parts of themselves they usually keep hidden. It’s a story about vulnerability, chosen family, and the courage it takes to believe that love can exist alongside imperfection — and it can flourish.

Summary
When Becky returned from the dead Carla knew it wasn’t going to be an easy ride. She was determined to fight for her relationship with Lisa. But after months of fighting, tension, and holding on for dear life it all became too much for Carla and Lisa, and they mutually decided to split.
Carla moved to Ireland – left everything behind to start fresh, apart from the factory - she did as much as she could remotely while Sarah did more of the in-person management. Lisa moved away to Brighton after the house sold, transferring to Sussex police.
Carla kept in touch with Betsy – never mentioning Lisa or Becky.
5 years later a sudden attack at Underworld takes place that requires Carla to come back to Weatherfield.
How will she react when she comes face to face with ex Lisa who unbeknown to Carla has been back in Weatherfield for the past year.Bookmarked by Moonriver15

Summary
AU: When Carla Connor decides she’s done with love—she means it.
If five failed marriages have taught her anything, it’s that she’s done with being the one who always gets hurt.
So when she sets out to write an article so big, it’s sure to feature on the cover of her very own Underworld Magazine, she has a plan: find an unsuspecting participant, sabotage the relationship, and win the cover story. No feelings, no risk, no heartbreak.
Simple, right?
But what if the unsuspecting participant has a game of her own?
What starts as a carefully orchestrated plan, quickly becomes something far more complicated. And the longer the ‘game’ goes on, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real and what’s supposed to be fake.
Because for Carla, falling in love was never supposed to be part of her plan.

Summary
Ever since Becky returned from the dead, everything falls apart for the Connor-Swains.
Trust is broken, old wounds are torn open, and the love Carla and Lisa once relied on can no longer hold them together. They separate but Betsy refuses to leave, unwilling to let her family fall apart completely.
When Lisa becomes seriously ill, the fragile balance between them is pushed to its limits, forcing Carla to face feelings she tried desperately to bury. But illness is only the beginning.
Because nothing tests them more than the invitation that follows: a weekend with Lisa’s deeply homophobic parents - a confrontation with the past that threatens to undo whatever fragile peace remains.- Language:
