Summary
Rindy Aird, growing up.
Every morning, Rindy finds herself peering critically at her reflection in the mirror, as if searching for something. The soft curve of her mother’s lips, perhaps. The sharp of her cheekbones. Under the morning light her mother’s golden curls might glow a soft orange, but Rindy’s hair has always remained an unimpressive shade of dirty blonde. ‘You look like her around the eyes,’ is what Aunt Therese tells her. Some days Rindy believes her; other days she thinks it is nothing more than a trick of the light.
But a woman who gave up her life of dazzling normalcy and chose, instead, to be unutterably herself -- such a woman would have more to show than just, say, full lips and sharp cheekbones. And it is her silent courage and quiet self-possession that Rindy wants, above all else, to emulate.

Summary
A look into Carol and Therese's lives together post-Oak Room.
This mostly takes place in the movie-verse, but I like to think I've taken some influences from the book, too.
Excerpt: 'Carol Aird wasn’t the stoic, put together person she had once appeared to be. Yes, she was a force of nature to be reckoned with, and that would never change. But she had willingly shown her vulnerable side – opened the flood gates – and now Therese could see the extent of the ocean inside of her. She wanted to throw herself in, to anchor herself at the bottom and remain there forever, surrounded by her presence.'

Summary
Okay. I've read soooooo many fanfics in this fandom. I adore this film and all of the stories I've read. I have sooo many ideas for a story with these characters. If by chance someone does actually read this please just be kind. I am open to criticism just be gentle? I haven't written anything in a long time.

Summary
A series of short stories about Carol and Therese navigating their life together in the years after the events of the movie/book.
They're stand alone so I don't think it's necessary to read each chapter, but they will all follow my same headcanon.

Summary
I recently started this story after resolving to myself to write more. Carol and Therese is currently my favorite love story so I decided to take a stab in this department.
I think the reason that Patricia Highsmith was so successful at telling this love story, and later obviously Phyllis, Todd, Cate and Rooney, was because she got us invested in the characters before their major acts are committed. We love them, and we forgive them their faults by the time they make a commitment to an act.
So, this is my first shot. There will be smut, but it will be later on, and if you've read the book or watched the movie, you'll know when. I aim to continue this after the end of the book and the movie.
This is Carol and Co morphed into present day in NYC. Carol's occupation has yet to be revealed, and Therese is currently working at a paper and invitation store. Their meeting is chance, but their intent thereafter isn't. Please feel free to comment. This is new to me and I'm still finding my way.
Dusky & Sweet is how Highsmith once described Carol, hence the nameBookmarked by Isla1811

"In class they would hold hands under the desk, in the library they would exchange murmurs or written words, at night they would talk for hours and sometimes one of them would join the other in bed. "
Or it is 1879, an all-girls boarding school and Therese meets Carol.
