Summary
The morning after 'the moment' and beyond. Michelle gets the wrong end of the stick and more misunderstanding and misguided matchmaking ensues. There will be your normal 'will they won't they' angst but mostly fluff.
I love Ryan but I wanted to explore having Carla's favourite wing-women with her and what it would look like if Carla was a little more hesitant than she was (for the right reasons). I've also often thought about the 'screens before bed' comment and what Carla may have been googling bless her.
FYI Hayley has risen, Becky has not.

Summary
So this is probably along the lines of a lot of fix-its today. Set after today's episode.
Lisa and Carla have the talk.
Too simplistic, unrealistic, never gonna happen but I don't care I need it today! Angsty of course but fluffy too and doesn't remotely go where the show better not but probably will nearly go.

Summary
Based on VM's comment about being happy with paint involved. I am hoping for a little fluff after the last few weeks so this is me manifesting! I tend not to keep an eye on new works whilst our girls are on screen to avoid spoilers so if this idea's been taken already then give me a shout.
Written on my phone as I lent my personal laptop to my friend before the overwhelming urge to write this came along so please excuse any typos.

Summary
If anyone was to ask who was to blame for Carla ending up on the date in the first place, she'd say her friend Michelle. Michelle, a bottle of tequila and a pink vibrator named Susan.

Summary
Under government rules, single adults get twenty-four hours to do whatever—and whoever—they want, completely free of judgment or lasting consequence. It’s the only night of the year that pre-marital casual hook-ups is allowed.
Lisa Swain thinks the whole concept is a nightmare. Carla Connor thinks it’s ridiculous and pathetic.
Neither has any intention of participating, until a chaotic night drives them both into the same quiet space to escape the madness.
What starts as a shared disdain for an absurd law, turns into a midnight conversation neither woman saw coming—and a connection that might be far too real for a one-night-only rulebook.
Authors note: Cassie Stuart is just a character in this story. I wanted Lisa to have a friend in the force and Cassie Stuart from Unforgotten is one of my most favourite detectives outside of Corrie.

Summary
A delayed flight leads to a chance meeting which might just change the lives of Carla Connor and Lisa Swain forever. Strangers, independently travelling to Ibiza for very different reasons, the two women's paths converge as their plane is unexpectedly delayed. What begins as a way to pass time quickly grows into a tentative friendship with a chemistry bubbling thinly beneath the surface between them. When circumstances grow tense at the hotel, will Carla's presence prove a hindrance or a help as Lisa confronts a problem from her past in the shape of her narcissistic, manipulative ex-wife.
A frivolous, short side project to allow some more light-hearted writing while my other two stories are a bit heavier at present. And a challenge to myself to a) not injure any character so badly the need hospitalisation in this story and b) cram as many tropes in as possible lol.
