Summary
“You’re such a good mate,” Lisa smiles at Carla. Teeth out, creases around her eyes, the lot.
Carla’s heart sinks in her chest. It’s not just a metaphorical feeling, she actually feels it happening, feels the weight of Lisa’s words pushing down deep within her. So she does the only thing she can think of in that moment so as not to completely give the game away; she takes a long sip of her drink, eyes darting around the room, looking for anything to focus on beside Lisa.
Well that backfired, didn’t it?
Lisa’s still smiling.
Friendzoned much?
God, she’s not used to this. Doesn’t think she’s ever been friendzoned in her life.
First time for everything, she supposes.

“Actually, if it’s all the same, I’ve got someone coming in for an interview.”
“That’s me.” Lisa said, her voice almost a whisper.
“What?” Carla looked her up and down. “I mean a job interview.”
“That’s still me.” Lisa muttered, a blush creeping over her cheeks.
“To be my new barmaid?”

Summary
When suspicious financial activity begins appearing in Underworlds accounts, Carla Connor finds herself under police scrutiny for the first time in years.
DS Lisa Swain is assigned to investigate what should have been a straight forward case.
But when the numbers lead to anonymous threats, late-night alarms and someone watching Carla from the shadow's, it becomes clear this isn't about money at all.
Its about Carla, and whoever is behind it knows her too well.
As the investigation deepens and the danger grows, the uneasy partnership between Carla and DS Swain begins to shift into something far more complicated - something neither of them expected.

Summary
These two adorable dorks are my new obsession! I love how their story has developed, and I love love love that they’re both over 40.
Chapters 1 and 2 are my take on what we didn’t see in Season 65, Episode 139 (aired in the UK on 22 November 2024). It’s all about the smut, lol. I’ve tried to keep it as close to the script in the first few paragraphs for both chapters, but after that it’s all just my explicit imagination.
Chapter 3 is a bonus chapter I couldn’t resist. Back-together sex! Carla taking charge! Totally not canon, just indulgent.
Thanks to AKCG and their YouTube playlist that meant this Brit abroad didn’t need to miss a minute of Swarla!

Remember the power cut at the factory just before Christmas? Remember Lisa brought eggnog and mince pies, and told Carla to give everyone the rest of the day off?
Hm, I wonder what happened in Carla’s office after they were left alone…

Summary
This in an AU where Carla and Lisa are friends. The Moment didn’t happen, but they are really close. Betsy works with Carla at Underworld. Ryan lives with Carla at the flat. Carla decides to be brave and admit her feelings to Lisa. Lisa follows suit and lets Carla in on her own secret. It’s soft, cheesy, cringey, smutty and it attempts to be funny. Lisa has a girl penis, so only read if that’s something you're open to reading about. If you're not into girl penis fics, definitely give this one a miss.

Summary
First year of uni was supposed to be simple: new city, new people, fresh start.
Instead, Carla Connor ends up in a chaotic house full of strangers, cheap wine, and too many personalities to keep track of, including one quiet, observant blonde who seems to see right through her.
Lisa Swain didn’t come to uni to make friends. She definitely didn’t come to get involved.
But somewhere between late-night kitchens, shared spaces, and conversations that hit a little too close to home, something starts to shift.
Slowly. Quietly.
And neither of them are quite ready for it.

Summary
Set when Lisa tells Carla that she loves her and the story goes from there. I have been writing this ever since that episode but I wanted to get a few chapters ahead before I posted it. Apologies if some of my ideas are similar to other people's - I haven't copied, I've just not posted until now. It doesn't completely follow the transplant story, as there is no Rob involved but it is my little version. Hope you enjoy.

Summary
When Carla is hired for Lisa's birthday party, their connection is instant. I can't really describe the plot in more detail than that because honestly, there isn't much of one. It's very smutty. I do apologise. I don't know what's happened to my brain. Maybe it's the weather or the loss of One Night Stand!
AU - Lisa isn't widowed and doesn't have Betsy. Carla has a slightly different history. And they're both 40.
