Summary
On a cold night at the edge of a bridge, two lives collide—one desperate to disappear, the other quietly determined to help. Carla’s world is unraveling, and Lisa, a police officer with her own scars, becomes the unexpected thread holding it together.
After a brief, intense connection, Carla vanishes without a word.
Months later, on a quiet street in Weatherfield, Carla tries to rebuild her life, hiding the truth from those around her. But everything shifts when Lisa moves in just a few doors down.
As both women grapple with past wounds and hidden truths, they discover that the person who saved you once might just be the one you’re meant to hold on to.

Summary
The woman tosses the dripping tray into the bin and swans off toward her car, leaving Carla standing there soaked and vaguely baffled. She swears those big green eyes lingered on her chest a second too long, but she lets it slide.
She’s practically flashing her golden globes at half of Manchester, and of course, she’s wearing black lace. Because why wouldn’t she be?

Summary
Started writing this October 15, 2024 so it's a little bit cannon, a little bit shouting into the void. Contains rumination, gaps filled between scenes of what might have occurred, moments that were perhaps missed or glossed over in the show.
Slow-burn, follows the path of the show, just with added moments before and after events we've been lucky to have so far!

Summary
Lisa already knew what to expect. Or rather, who to expect… Carla Connor had been transferred from Humberside Police, and while Lisa hadn’t heard much about her directly, the whispers from colleagues had been enough to form an opinion. Despite the glowing reviews and action-packed stories she’d been told, she wasn’t exactly optimistic about the new arrival.
Or
Carla and Lisa are both detectives, forced to work together despite being polar opposites. Chaos (among other stuff) ensues.

Summary
Carla and Lisa were always meant to find each other.
But what if they gave into their desires long before “Don’t Get Dressed”?
What if they became friends (enemies?) with benefits.
