Summary
AU. A deviation from Carla's psychosis storyline.
While deep in the grips of psychosis and hiding out at her childhood home-turned-squat, Carla is arrested and sent to Norcross, where she meets Betsy Swain. The two form an unlikely friendship.
When Carla is released early on licence, she is placed in a halfway house to finish out her sentence. After a violent run-in with another resident, she is forced to look for alternative accommodation. All she has to do is convince Lisa Swain that letting a complete stranger and ex-con move in with her is a good idea...
Slow burn.
Carla's life is mostly canon up until her psychosis, but the Swains I have moulded to fit into this AU timeline
Complete.

Summary
A giggle cuts through the air behind her. Carla turns around and is face-to-face with a tiny blonde woman climbing onto the treadmill that the brunette was just about to occupy.
Carla is flustered. Too many emotions race through her at once. She’s annoyed about the treadmill, angry about the eavesdropping, and embarrassed by how she cannot stop staring at the blonde.
The blonde who is incredibly attractive.
After what feels like minutes of staring, she decides she can only deal with one emotion at a time.
The blonde smirks, and Carla’s entire world flips upside down. Her stomach an’ all.

Summary
As Carla and Lisa’s two worlds overlap, moments of warmth and humour sit alongside difficult truths, forcing both of them to confront what it means to trust someone with the parts of themselves they usually keep hidden. It’s a story about vulnerability, chosen family, and the courage it takes to believe that love can exist alongside imperfection — and it can flourish.

Summary
Serena Campbell and Bernie Wolfe had a passionate affair as junior doctors, decades ago. Their reunion is under unusual circumstances, Bernie recovers from life changing injuries and estrangement from her children. Her work as a veteran's advocate is ideal for Serena's plan for a building a trauma centre. They are perfectly compatible as colleague and the old feelings burn with new appreciation as senior hospital staff and woman with personal challenges.
Resiliency, New Skillset, friendship and negotiating feelings between past, present and future.
"Serena McKinnie, is that you?"
"Yes, the same, but a brief regrettable diversion gave me a new name and an ex-husband whose new bride is barely older than our daughter. It's lovely to see you again, Bernie; those juniors were enthralled by spells you were weaving. I wouldn't be surprised if a few turn to veteran rehabilitation in the coming decades." Serena crutches down so that they are at eye level.
