Summary
Carla had her birthday ruined by her kidney last year and this year it didn't even get a mention so I decided to fix that.

Summary
In all honesty, I have no idea what this is going to turn out like. I had a little idea based on the memory of Lisa throwing herself into work and leaving Betsy to deal with her grief after Becky initially 'died.'
Set after the events of Corriedale and Becky being arrested and after Carla packed her bags to stay at the hotel. I know we haven't seen it happen so we don't know what goes down, but for the sake of this story, Carla told Lisa she needs time and so she has gone to stay at the hotel. -

Summary
Lisa Swain- A 30 year old single mother to a daring little 2 year old, working as a detective sergeant.
Carla Connor - A 30 year old who makes a living working in a 24-hour setting that provides care for the children of frontline workers.
Very far from the actual characters and their story.
Will start off with one chapter to get a feel for how people take to it, will then try to get ahead on writing some chapters before I start to post:) -

Summary
This is probably going to be random little snippets of life ab (after becky). Everything that happened on screen happened here up until Corriedale since I have no clue what the outcome will be. So this will start with Carla being found in my own little version and then will be jumpy to show my own idea of their life immediately after.

Summary
NOTE: UPDATED TO EXPLICIT BECAUSE OF CHAPTER 18 NSFW/GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT
Carla and Lisa have known each other since high school, but life pulled them in different directions. Lisa pursued aviation engineering and became a pilot, while Carla went to medical school. Years later, fate brings them back together. Lisa, now a single mother to her four-year-old daughter Betsy after losing Becky in a car accident, reconnects with Carla in a story filled with warmth, love, and second chances. No angst here—this is pure Christmas fluff.
NOTE: I DRAFTED THIS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BUT THOUGHT IT WAS TOO EARLY TO POST, BUT IT'S OCTOBER AND HENCE XMAS IS ALMOST UPON US :) UP TO 30 CHAPTERS DRAFTED n I DON'T EVEN HAVE A TITLE FOR IT YET, SO THE ONE I TITLE IT MIGHT CHANGE AS THE STORY UNFOLDS.

Summary
Begins with the immediate aftermath of the robbery. With the help and support of loved ones Carla and Lisa find their way back to each other, and face challenges that life throws their way.
OR – the one where: Carla’s kidney failure, dialysis and transplant journey doesn’t include coercion, kidnapping or unrealistically fast recovery. The Swains have a cat. And Mason lives.

Summary
At 19, Carla and Lisa were each other’s secret love. When Lisa begged for honesty and a future together, Carla couldn’t face the truth, and Lisa walked away, heartbroken.
Twenty years later, fate throws them back together: Carla, newly separated, stumbles into a bar—and into Lisa, now married with a daughter. One stolen moment reopens a door neither expected.
But when Lisa moves onto Coronation Street with her family, buried passion turns into a dangerous flame. As tension simmers and secrets start to slip, both women are forced to choose: the safe lives they’ve built, or the love they never truly let go.
Nothing stays buried forever — especially not a first love.

Summary
Continues on from “The Courage to Begin” and explores the early stages of Lisa and Carla’s relationship and Carla’s coming out with some drama and a mystery thrown in.
Just to be careful, proceed with caution if anything from Carla’s background is triggering for you. I’ll put in trigger warnings where necessary.
