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
At 19, Carla and Lisa were each other’s secret love. When Lisa begged for honesty and a future together, Carla couldn’t face the truth, and Lisa walked away, heartbroken.
Twenty years later, fate throws them back together: Carla, newly separated, stumbles into a bar—and into Lisa, now married with a daughter. One stolen moment reopens a door neither expected.
But when Lisa moves onto Coronation Street with her family, buried passion turns into a dangerous flame. As tension simmers and secrets start to slip, both women are forced to choose: the safe lives they’ve built, or the love they never truly let go.
Nothing stays buried forever — especially not a first love.

Two strong women, each facing their own battles, must learn to work together to solve cases and maybe save one another along the way.

Summary
A sequel to the sequel of Piece By Piece.
With family life finally settling down for the Swains since their wedding, Lisa discovers Carla wasn't just having an attack of the broods that day they visited their new niece at the hospital.
(Several people requested a continuation of the story so here it is! Fair warning: there will be little-to-no angst and it'll be largely tooth-rotting fluff. And yes, it's a Swarla baby fic so if that's not your thing then you might be best doing a Debbie and jogging off!)

Summary
Carla Connor is a Manchester Mafia Boss, which means she's in charge of nefarious activities AND the people carrying them out. She's a hard nut to crack, but if anyone can, then it's Lisa Swain from the Organised Crime Unit. Taking the assignment as an undercover copper, Lisa's worked her way into Carla's organisation. But can she work her way back out again before falling for our Mafia Queen or exposing her true identity?
This was a "thing" I mooted on tumblr and for those three people who wanted it - here it is!
I'm proceeding with caution when it comes to this story. I have *plans*.

Summary
In the heart of London’s upscale Kensington, fashion mogul Carla Connor begins her day before dawn, preparing meticulously for a high-stakes trip to San Francisco where her globally renowned brand is launching a flagship store.

As she steps into her private elevator and heads for the airport, she’s unaware that the flight ahead will do more than cross an ocean—it’ll alter the course of her life.

Summary
Weatherfield fun day...
For the sake of this fic, Carla has 3 year old Elsie... Maybe we'll explore how Elsie came about, maybe we won't.
Also we're going to pretend Betsy was younger when Becky died. In this, Betsy is 15.
Carla and Lisa are early 40s and haven't met yet, so none of their story matches the actual show scenes.
At the moment it's probably just a one shot, but I'm open to taking it further and seeing where it goes if people are interested!:) -

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
This story is set before the "moment"— the almost-kiss, the point where everything changed. At this stage, Lisa already feels the pull she can’t quite shake, a quiet longing hidden beneath her steady exterior. Carla, meanwhile, still sees her as her closest friend. She’s always believed she is straight. For now, they remain suspended in that space between friendship and something more intimate, slow slow slow burn with angst, waiting to ignite. "Forewarned is forearmed".
