Summary
Inspired by the musical The Last 5 Years, in which we see a couple’s life through their eyes but along opposite timelines.
This story follows Carla and Lisa through the 15 years of their relationship. Chapters from Carla’s perspective are told in chronological order whilst Lisa’s are in reverse and begin at the end, so to speak. They’ll meet in the middle and cross over as the story continues.
Some aspects are canon (as many as possible!) and others I’ve taken off in different directions because who knows what’ll happen in the future on the show?! (It’s worth saying that I’ve also taken out canon things that I wish hadn’t happened, for example, Becky being back from the dead. You’re welcome!)

Summary
Dr. Wheeler said Lisa needed a hobby. Carla suggested "bullying some plants." Neither of them anticipated that a Tuesday afternoon would devolve into a tactical rescue mission involving a sequined police hat, a sodden shower cap, and the classified discovery of Sally Metcalfe’s "experimental" college phase.
A story of trauma recovery, "medicinal" Rosé, and the absolute, unhinged joy of two women who have finally found the perimeter is secure.

Summary
Lisa Swain is the architect of order: Captain of Manchester City, a minimalist perfectionist, and the self-proclaimed "Ice Queen" of the league. She views football as a science to be mastered.
Carla Connor is the definition of chaos: Captain of Manchester United, a local hero fueled by adrenaline, instinct, and the roar of the crowd. She views football as a war to be won.
For ten years, they have been total opposites. For five years, they have been bitter rivals. But this season, the tackles are hitting harder, the stares in the tunnel are lingering longer, and the hatred is starting to feel dangerously like obsession.
When the rivalry spills over the touchline, Lisa discovers that the only thing more terrifying than losing control is giving it to the one person she’s sworn to destroy.
