TW for abusive relationships because Becky is in this and this is exactly how I picture their relationship in canon as well

Summary
She watched Carla move, unnaturally slow, and place herself between the car and the approaching vehicle, arms waving frantically.
No.
She watched it drift to avoid her, drop onto a side, she watched it slide.
No.
She watched Carla disappear, and time resumed its usual rhythm, the vehicle's speed onto the ground catching up with Lisa's brain just in time before it hit her car.

Summary
AU: FBI Agent Lisa/Journalist Carla

Summary
Lisa's tears have drenched her shirt where the blonde had hid her face, the cold breeze now cooling the wet patch against the brunette's skin, a memento of the woman she's left behind, hurt and alone.
She speeds her pace up, sticks her hands in her pockets and swallows back a sob.
The back of her mind comes alive with the blurred image of bright green eyes fixated in hers, full of hope and trust and affection.
She knows those eyes have looked at Becky the same way, knows they would again, weren't she in the way.
By the time she notices, tears are streaming freely down her cheeks and she finds herself yearning for Lisa's neck to hide into.
or
the aftermath of Halloween's episode laced with other times Carla and Lisa found themselves crying on each other's shoulders.

Summary
Carla wakes up in the middle of the night and she just knows Lisa is not going to be by her side.
this is quite soft because I'm a hopeless romantic and I'm absolutely not made for soap angst, but I did wish to explore Lisa's feelings about this incredibly awful position she's in so I dived a little into that, in my own way.
it's very special to me.inspired by Alison Sudol's incredibly beautiful song "Icu"

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
Carla Connor doesn’t do careful. Lisa Swain doesn’t do reckless.
Somewhere between a two-year-old who chooses her people fiercely, a grief that never quite loosens its grip, and a woman who feels like home far too quickly, boundaries blur and hearts hesitate.

Summary
The Milan Cortina Winter Olympics 2026.
Carla Connor and Lisa Swain are two very different, very contrasting athletes. They’re from two very different backgrounds.
Both hold medal hopes for Team GB in Italy. Front and centre of coverage, they dominate the headlines leading up to Milan Cortina.
Working-class grit in two different forms.
Carla, the girl from the estate turned snowboarding icon, who’d fought every inch of her life for what she’d achieved and never apologised for wanting more.
Lisa, was the alpine specialist, discipline carved into her posture, used to carrying responsibility quietly.
Maybe they will leave Milan with more than gold.
