Summary
Dr. Wheeler said Lisa needed a hobby. Carla suggested "bullying some plants." Neither of them anticipated that a Tuesday afternoon would devolve into a tactical rescue mission involving a sequined police hat, a sodden shower cap, and the classified discovery of Sally Metcalfe’s "experimental" college phase.
A story of trauma recovery, "medicinal" Rosé, and the absolute, unhinged joy of two women who have finally found the perimeter is secure.

Summary
Carla's arms were crossed, and she looked far too glamourous to be sitting on a plastic chair in an A&E waiting room, with her manicured nails and calf length leather boots. "So... I'm your emergency contact?"
"I had to put someone, and it turns out, you're basically the only adult I know who doesn't work where I work, and that was so depressing that I didn't want to tell you." Lisa said begrudgingly. "That's just another fun side effect of my wife dying. You suddenly don't have an emergency contact."
or, the five times carla was called on as lisa's emergency contact

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.
Or
Lisa ends things seemingly for good after Rob takes them hostage and Betsy is shot. It turns Carla’s life upside down and sends her on a journey of self-exploration as she’s forced to confront the relationships that mean the most to her and the ways Lisa has changed her for good. But it's never over til it's over...

Summary
Lisa comes to in a hospital room on a firm, unforgiving bed. It’s quiet save for a slow beeping from a nearby monitor.
She sits up quickly to scan her surroundings. White walls, machines, white curtain.Her eyes drop to scan over her own body, but no discernible injury could be found.
Legs, fine. Torso, fine. Arms are…her eyes catch the metal on her finger.That’s not her ring.
OR
Lisa has amnesia and forgets the last four years (including having ever met Carla).

Summary
"You okay, sweetheart?"
The blonde turns to her with a gentle smile, leans back against the windowsill, bright-eyed and wide awake. Still whispering, though, into the peaceful quiet of the room when she gleefully tells Carla, "Ryan owes me a tenner."
"Oh," she chuckles, voice husky with sleep. Well, that explains the weird glow. "It snowed?"
Lisa's grin breaks across her pretty face. "It did, indeed."
Or: Snow, novelty socks, and plans.

When a chance encounter shows Carla another side to DS Swain, she learns that sometimes people aren't quite as together as they seem. And the person behind DS Swain's badge is frankly an absolute train wreck!
Fake dating is back...it's time to hear it from Carla's POV

Summary
DS Swain is one of Weatherfield's most dedicated police officers. She's serious. She's good at her job. She's unflappable.
Lisa Swain is the opposite. She's awkward. She says stupid, embarrassing things. She makes up lies to save face in front of her family.
But when Lisa's lie brings her sister into DS Swain's orbit, she runs the risk of being truly humiliated. How can she get herself out of her predicament?
She's going to need some help!
(This is a bit different from my usual writing style. It's fun and frivolous and HOPEFULLY a bit funny!)
