Summary
“So, you want one then?” Lisa asks, proffering the bag she’s had stashed under the table, "I was hiding them from Ryan and Betsy."
“Nah, wouldn’t want to deprive you, we both know how much that pretty mouth likes to be kept occupied,” Carla hums, running her thumb over Lisa’s bottom lip before pressing the candy cane back between them.
Lisa cocks her head, eyelashes fluttering as she stares up at her. “Yeah?” She says breathily, not missing a beat, “I can think of plenty of other ways you could keep it occupied.”
(Or: It's Carla's first day back at work after christmas, and Lisa's feeling especially needy.)

i definitely did not read it twice in one sitting what are you talking about? 👀
excerpts from the fic
She pictures herself being bent over the table, feels Lisa’s hands dragging her dress upwards. She imagines Lisa sliding her cock into her, taking her roughly in front of all of her colleagues.
She thinks about how easily she would’ve given in, how she’d have pushed backwards into Lisa’s thrusts — how she’d have reached down and touched herself.
“Oh, baby,” Carla’s starting to lose control, Lisa can feel it, remains poised just so.
“Suck it, suck me off,” Carla demands and Lisa closes her lips around Carla’s clit.
She sucks and flicks her tongue so expertly Carla can barely keep herself upright.
“Good girl, good girl,” Carla praises, fist tightening ever more, lower back prickling with sweat.

She feels wet anticipation.
Like the liquid neon glow of the lights, it drips against her. Into her.
And.
And, in the next room. A phone is ringing.

just another angst that made me cry. example of a perfect au.
update: now that Beloved Author has finally just updated the final chapter. i'm gonna flail abt it.this is the first and only carla ever to make me see myself in. it's always been swain to me. but this carla is just exquisite. so canon but also perfectly AU and self-loathing and delicious. Author also captures lisa perfectly. it is the canon lisa but somehow pieces of her fit and mould perfectly into this 'little' AU that i cannot even.
this fic is just pure poetry from the fucking fairies. every freaking sentence hits. never a word wasted.
i would (gladly) re-read it from time to time and it would guarantee to make me cry each time.
gosh i need this to be a movie so bad. one of those 90s-early 00s hong kong movies like 'in the mood for love'. the NY setting works perfectly for this AU but hong kong's vibrant colours and bright neon lights fit perfectly also.excerpts from the fic
And Carla thinks that, just perhaps, she knows nothing at all of love.
(She can feel Lisa, beside her, her back straight and her shoulders high. Defensive, even now. As she gazes, unseeing, out across the water. Beyond the cluster of buildings that truly scrape the sky gathered around the tip of the island, and away, further still. To the dotted lights of Manhattan Bridge stretching across the horizon. She looks fucking haunted.)
She thinks, perhaps, in almost fifty years that she has barely scraped her fingernails across love's squirming surface

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*.
