It's a Cruel Summer of '99 by cowboybarbie

Summary
Therese removed the napkin to find a blush-tinted imprint of Carol’s lips on the glass’s rim. She shrugged to Dannie as though she wasn’t crushed inside by this complete stranger’s departure, and grabbed the glass as casually as if on bar-back duty, going away to clean it. But she didn’t do that.
Once out of sight, her body acted on some deep, animal impulse before she could stop it. She pressed her lips to Carol’s lingering ones and tipped the drink back, letting its smooth, rich flavor slide down her throat, until all of it was inside her. It was strong. It was good.
She went to dry her guilty mouth with the napkin, but black ink on its underside caught her eye.
Great taste.

This was the last thing she needed. This was exactly what she’d wanted.
This was going to be a fucked up summer.

Summary
A modern AU set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Expect a bit of a slow burn (and a rollercoaster of emotions). See an excerpt below:
Suddenly, she came to the horrible realisation that this was it. She was really leaving, alone, her life condensed into a single backpack and a small suitcase, the only one she'd ever owned. She imagined Richard’s set lips and furrowed brow outside the window, his disapproving eyes watching her every move, watching her leave. She imagined him shrinking with the skyline until he became a tiny speck; a piece of dust she could blow away.
York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh... It was really happening, wasn't it? Therese fished frantically for the train ticket in her pocket. Edinburgh, single, one-way. There was no return from this.

The Great Aird-Belivet Feud of Butte County by DannyCreasy
Fandoms: Carol (2015), The Price of Salt - Patricia Highsmith
13 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
For over a century, two northern California farming families, the Airds and Belivets, have been at odds. They raised various crops over the decades, but both clans began to concentrate on growing and harvesting walnuts in the 1920s. Deadly gun violence haunted this feud in the 19th Century. Later, the weapons became words and societal backstabbing.
Therese Belivet returns to the groves in 1967 to teach at the local high school. Low and behold, Carol Aird's daughter, Rindy, is in Therese's Honors English class. Will it be two cats in a burlap sack or a pair of lovelorn souls discovering romance among the Walnut groves?
Novel length.

Summary
Therese Belivet flees the shadows of her youth, seeking a new life. The shifting America of 1962 is rife with opportunities for such rebirth. She's paid her dues; the hard-won Master's Degree and Teaching Credential top her resume. The twenty-two-year-old needs a chance, a break. Might a high-school English department head be her ray of light? Carol Aird of New York Public School District #3 has a discerning eye for talent and character; she seeks both at the New York State Teachers Employment Fair.
Can a true, forever love blossom in an ordinary school setting?

Summary
I’d like to think of this as a throwback to Patricia Highsmith’s noir genre. What if two ordinary people, Therese Belivet and Carol Aird, found themselves embroiled in events spinning rapidly out of control? Who is to be trusted? What is to be believed? Can one of them actually trust her lover’s memories of the events?

Nevermind Our Wicked Ways by indoorbutch
Fandoms: Carol (2015), The Price of Salt - Patricia Highsmith

Summary
Maybe seeing me again is as inconsequential to her as running in to an acquaintance from high school. After all, it was such a brief relationship, not even a relationship at all, just a—a thing. And when I was reckless enough to tell her that I loved her? Radio silence. No reciprocity. Over the past three years, I’ve come to the conclusion that all the intensity of emotion was one-sided, and Therese was just a straight girl who got caught up in the illicit thrill of being pursued by an older woman...
This is my take on the "Therese never went to the Oak Room" prompt, but make it a modern AU. Tell me if it's working for you. I'm feeling rusty.

Summary
Therese let out a very tired sigh and attempted to come up with an excuse to not go when she was interrupted by the most enchanting voice she had ever heard.
"Gone with the Wind? I wasn't expecting seeing someone as young as you watching something like that."
Therese looked up from her phone to an unbelievably beautiful, practically perfect, tall, blonde woman. Her hair was up in a bun, she was wearing running shorts, a loose t-shirt that showed her perfectly sculpted collar bones, and.... were those tights?
"I didn't mean that to sound rude. I just didn't expect that to be your movie choice."
Therese realized she hadn't said anything yet to the vision that was standing in front of her.

Post-Oak Room fic! (I walked by the Plaza the other day and my heart started beating so fast.) This is my first time ever posting (or really even writing) a piece of fanfiction! I can't believe how suddenly this chapter tumbled out of me. It's been building for a while, though. Thank you SO much to all of you for your beautiful, heart-wrenching and often hilarious work. It has been a joy to read, and now I want to give back!
