Summary
Carla Connor never thought she’d be here — planning a wedding, trying on dresses, and actually letting someone in deep enough to promise forever. Lisa Swain, steady and unshakable, has been the one to pull her back from the brink and prove that love doesn’t have to mean pain.
But in true Weatherfield style, nothing about planning a wedding runs smoothly. From chaotic dress fittings (with Michelle in full meddling mode), to stag and hen do disasters, last-minute doubts, and the ghosts of the past, Carla and Lisa must hold tight to what they’ve built.
With friends and family alternately helping and causing chaos, the journey to “I do” is anything but simple. Yet through the laughter, tears, and trials, one truth shines through: together, they’re stronger.
A heartfelt, dramatic, and often funny story of love, friendship, and fighting for the happy ending they both deserve.

Carla Connor is a Manchester Mafia Boss, which means she's in charge of nefarious activities AND the people carrying them out.

But can she work her way back out again before falling for our Mafia Queen or exposing her true identity?
This was a "thing" I mooted on tumblr and for those three people who wanted it - here it is!
I'm proceeding with caution when it comes to this story. I have *plans*.

Summary
Carla Connor is stubborn and self-sacrificial to a fault. She refuses to let any of her loved ones get tested. After Aidan, it’s a gift she could never accept, a debt she could never repay. So, she insists on waiting for a match from the donor register, thank you very much.
Back home from the hospital, she’s adjusting to life with daily dialysis, doing her best to be there for Betsy, who’s grieving Mason, and to be a partner to Lisa despite the toll her condition is taking on her. But no matter how hard she tries, kidney failure is wearing her down, physically and mentally.
Ryan can’t stand to watch his aunt suffer any longer. Rob might be a match, but his offer comes with strings attached and a cost Carla can’t afford, in more ways than one. So, Ryan calls the one person he knows who has any chance of knocking some sense into her: his mother, Michelle.
Carla is stubborn and convinced she doesn’t deserve this kind of sacrifice. But too bad for her, there’s a long list of people who love her and they’re not about to let go without a fight.
