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.

Summary
Newcastle University, 2004, three eighteen year olds meet and become firm friends. But while her new friends are confident in their own identity, 18 year old Lisa Swain is still figuring herself out.
After uni, Lisa finds herself settling down in the north east, getting married and having a baby. But when Lisa's wife is killed in a hit and run, she moves back to the Manchester area with her daughter to start afresh.
Four years after losing her wife, Lisa is lonely. Letting herself be set up on a blind date might turn out to be a terrible plan. But, then again, maybe it might just turn out to be the best thing Lisa ever did.
(Eve Panesar-Unwin is a character in this, but she is written in a way that you don't need to know anything about her for this to make sense. So non-Eastenders fans can treat her like an original character.)

Summary
When Rachel Berry is forced to duet with Quinn Fabray — the same girl who watched her get slushied without a word — she expects cruelty, not quiet apologies in empty choir rooms or a voice that cracks on Sondheim like it’s hiding something broken.
But every rehearsal chips away at the armor. Between resentment and harmony lies the terrifying truth: the person she hates most might be the only one who truly sees her.
Faberry slow burn. Heavy angst. Enemies to lovers. Some silences hurt worse than slushies.Bookmarked by Ref6048

Summary
Twenty-year-old Lisa never expected one reckless night to mean anything at all. Carla was supposed to be a stranger — someone she could leave behind by morning.
But weeks later, just as Lisa is trying to move on, something unexpected throws Carla back into her world. Suddenly, avoiding Carla becomes impossible, and the connection between them grows harder to ignore with every passing day.
As feelings deepen and secrets threaten to surface, both women are forced to decide whether what they have is worth the risk of everything falling apart.
