Summary
“Whatever shall we do with this big, empty, house of ours then?” She keeps her tone casual, a look of faux innocence spread across her face.
Lisa’s clearly not buying it. Truthfully they both know this is only ever going to end one way — but ever the diplomat, Lisa steps back, eyebrows raised.
“We should probably make a start on these boxes, we’ve got a lot to get done.”
“Mm, we should. . .” Carla trails off, pretending to contemplate the situation. “Or, you could use those gorgeous arms to carry me over the threshold of our room and then help me christen it.”

Summary
“Look. I didn’t come here to argue.”
“Oh yeah?” Footsteps. Slow. Measured. Getting closer. “Then why did you come?”
She turns back slowly, ready to reiterate her pathetic lie. To try to rationalise what had never once been about rationality.
But then she catches the look in Lisa’s eyes. Dark, dangerous and so fucking hungry.
It’s almost convincing enough that she can ignore the agony behind it.
“Y’know I saw you earlier, out on a little date with your girlfriend,” Lisa says the word with a sneer, like it’s a joke they’re both in on, “shouldn’t you be with her? Or is she not good enough for you to let her take you home?”
(Or: post-breakup, Carla seeks distraction in the arms of another woman, and Lisa’s jealousy gets the better of her.)

Summary
Carla Connor is a Manchester Mafia Boss, which means she's in charge of nefarious activities AND the people carrying them out. She's a hard nut to crack, but if anyone can, then it's Lisa Swain from the Organised Crime Unit. Taking the assignment as an undercover copper, Lisa's worked her way into Carla's organisation. 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
Weatherfield’s highly anticipated conker competition is fast approaching. Tensions run high among the residents as accusations run rife, with everyone in a bid to win. All the Connor-Swains want to do is stay at home and use their brand-new wood burner, but fate continues to have other plans.

Summary
Carla’s eyes flutter closed as she snuggles further down on the couch, beyond grateful to be back in Weatherfield.
Beyond grateful to be back home.
She has missed Lisa so much these past few weeks she has ached with it, wonders how it is that she was able to live contentedly for close to half-a-century without ever even knowing of the other woman’s existence.
