Summary
Carla Connor is haunted by the trauma of an abusive past relationship with Cate Henri whose name resurfaces when DS Lisa Swain arrives to investigate Cate’s connection to a possible murder and disappearance case. As Carla is forced to confront painful memories of coercive control, isolation, and emotional abuse through a series of flashbacks, Lisa’s calm and compassionate presence gradually becomes a source of safety and stability in her otherwise chaotic world.
While helping the investigation, Carla begins forming an intense emotional connection with Lisa, who sees beyond her guarded exterior, and after Lisa rescues a drunken, emotionally overwhelmed Carla and takes her home, it becomes clear that their bond may become the lifeline Carla desperately needs.

Summary
Lisa Swain is a rule following police detective living a predictable, quiet suburban life with her wife, Becky, and their teenage daughter. But her carefully structured world is completely upended when Carla Connor, a stunning, unapologetic party girl and erotic novel author, moves in next door. To get away from her busy dramatic city life. What begins as a voyeuristic curiosity from Lisa's spare room window quickly spirals into a consuming obsession. Drawn to Carla's chaotic energy and explicit world, Lisa finds herself risking everything to cross the property line and the boundaries of her 13 year marriage, plunging into a passionate, illicit affair with the woman next door.

Summary
Had Carla actually picked up?
“No I errr, I had to move in the end, im staying at a new place now…its erm its called rhubarb hill hotel…”
“Rhubarb hill hotel?”
“Yep… yeah im in the blessing suite.”
“Well I hope your having a good time, I’m missing ya.”
“I miss you too bets, so much. But listen darling I'm going to have to go, I told my dad I’d ring him.”
Lisa’s brain screeched to a halt. Her dad? Carla’s dad was dead. What was Carla talking about?
Her entire body suddenly electric with dread.
Carla had just told Betsy she was in danger.
Canon divergence - what if Carla had snuck in more than just the what3words, what if she’d used their secret code word for danger?

What happens on international duty, stays on international duty. by Gloryandhonour

Summary
They’re rivals first, enemies second, and teammates only because England says they must be.
One is the composed, respected captain of Manchester United and England. The other is Manchester City’s newest signing with a talent for causing problems and pushing every single one of her buttons.
They clash constantly – on the pitch, in training, in interviews – and neither woman is willing to back down. To the world, their dislike for each other is obvious.
But international duty has a way of forcing people together.
Late nights, shared secrets, and moments no one else sees begin to crack the armour they both wear so carefully. Beneath the rivalry is something neither of them expected: understanding, vulnerability, and an attraction that refuses to stay buried.
The only problem? Falling for your enemy is dangerous enough. Falling for someone while the entire football world thinks you hate each other – might be impossible.
