Summary
Inspired by the musical The Last 5 Years, in which we see a couple’s life through their eyes but along opposite timelines.
This story follows Carla and Lisa through the 15 years of their relationship. Chapters from Carla’s perspective are told in chronological order whilst Lisa’s are in reverse and begin at the end, so to speak. They’ll meet in the middle and cross over as the story continues.
Some aspects are canon (as many as possible!) and others I’ve taken off in different directions because who knows what’ll happen in the future on the show?! (It’s worth saying that I’ve also taken out canon things that I wish hadn’t happened, for example, Becky being back from the dead. You’re welcome!)

Summary
Carla breaks up with Lisa after the Halloween incident and is heartbroken when she learns that Lisa went to Spain with Betsy and Becky. She goes to Number 6 to pack up the rest of her things, but what she finds there surprises her, changes what she thought she knew, and could lead her to her happy ending.

Summary
Carla has had enough, enough of Becky, enough of feeling like an outsider, an interloper, in her own home. Enough of watching the love of her life be pulled closer and closer to the not so dead wife that she can’t seem to see through.
Little does she know, it’s not just her that she has to think about.

Summary
In that small space, heartbeat to heartbeat, they began to rebuild something fragile.
Not what they were before, but what they might be again. Two women still choosing each other, even when the past came back from the dead.
Outside, the street softened into silence.
Inside, they held on. Not perfectly, but wholly.Bookmarked by ooncer

Summary
I saw a tweet about how a Baby Barlow mention wouldn't have gone amiss after Carla admitting to Lisa that Betsy’s starting to feel like her own kid on Monday.
Although I'm in camp 'Lisa already knows', I couldn't leave it alone.

Summary
“Doesn’t your husband do most of the work?” Carla asks, eyes widening as soon as she realises what she’s said. She scrambles immediately. “Sorry. I meant… Well. Not that women can’t— Oh god. I’m making it worse, aren’t I?”
“Carla, it’s fine… But there’s no husband. The farm’s mine. I do have a couple of staff who help me out though.”
“Wow… Must be hard work,” Carla says, blowing out a breath.
“Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman?”
