Summary
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Over the past few weeks, I’ve struggled to reconcile the original DS Lisa Swain (sharp, perceptive, emotionally intelligent) with the baffling version we’re currently seeing a "dumb-dumb Lisa Swain." Her current actions are impossible to justify based on who she was established to be. This led me to an idea: Deep, Deep Undercover.
In this story, I propose that Lisa is operating covertly, hiding the truth from everyone: her colleagues (DI Costello, Kit Green), and her family (Carla Connor and Betsy Swain). She is deliberately allowing herself to be misunderstood and acting out of character to protect a major investigation or objective. This framework explains her harmful actions; especially toward Carla, without erasing the intelligent Lisa we once knew, hopefully offering a sense of validation or explanation for her current persona.

Summary
I’ve decided these are going to be standalone chapters, but they follow the events of the weekly spoilers. It’s a canon divergence, with some of the events taken from the spoilers for the upcoming week or weeks. They aren’t fix-it chapters, unfortunately. These follow the spoilers but aim to simulate the same events expected to happen in canon. I hate canon right now, but I still want Carla to walk away with some dignity as things unravel. ANGSTY!!!
THIS ONE SHOT HELD THE FIRST CHAPTER TITLE BELOW BUT NOW RENAMED TO >>
BETRAYAL, CHOICES AND BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.Chap 1: I Will Not Be Humiliated by Your Wife and Daughter in My Own Home

Summary
NOTE: UPDATED TO EXPLICIT BECAUSE OF CHAPTER 18 NSFW/GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT
Carla and Lisa have known each other since high school, but life pulled them in different directions. Lisa pursued aviation engineering and became a pilot, while Carla went to medical school. Years later, fate brings them back together. Lisa, now a single mother to her four-year-old daughter Betsy after losing Becky in a car accident, reconnects with Carla in a story filled with warmth, love, and second chances. No angst here—this is pure Christmas fluff.
NOTE: I DRAFTED THIS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BUT THOUGHT IT WAS TOO EARLY TO POST, BUT IT'S OCTOBER AND HENCE XMAS IS ALMOST UPON US :) UP TO 30 CHAPTERS DRAFTED n I DON'T EVEN HAVE A TITLE FOR IT YET, SO THE ONE I TITLE IT MIGHT CHANGE AS THE STORY UNFOLDS. TWO BLOCKS DOWN FROM WEATHERFIELD IS ALMOST DONE, SO WHY NOT BEGIN ANOTHER LONG FIC EH? IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF XMAS FICS LET ME KNOW IF U'RE INTERESTED IN THIS. TY

Summary
I know I’ve been a Lisa Swain critic and honestly, rightfully so. She’s infuriated me, still does. I don’t see a clear mental health victim in Lisa; Instead I see someone maddeningly indecisive, the kind of friend I’d want to shake and tell them to get their act together. Still, this is fiction, and there are billions of people like her out there and billions like me who can’t stand that kind of indecision. But today, I’m choosing to give her grace. Maybe it’ll backfire before we end watching this Becky storyline, I don't know and maybe it won’t. Either way, canon Lisa Swain deserves the same basic mercy anyone does. So, here is a one shot.

Summary
Another parallel universe, in which both Bea and Allie are alive and well, true to their original characters and fighting for their chance of happiness. That's all of the plot I plan to reveal, cause I'm a big opponent of spoilers and a lover of pleasant surprises.
