Summary
“So, you want one then?” Lisa asks, proffering the bag she’s had stashed under the table, "I was hiding them from Ryan and Betsy."
“Nah, wouldn’t want to deprive you, we both know how much that pretty mouth likes to be kept occupied,” Carla hums, running her thumb over Lisa’s bottom lip before pressing the candy cane back between them.
Lisa cocks her head, eyelashes fluttering as she stares up at her. “Yeah?” She says breathily, not missing a beat, “I can think of plenty of other ways you could keep it occupied.”
(Or: It's Carla's first day back at work after christmas, and Lisa's feeling especially needy.)

When they finally find their way back to one another, they do so each with their pockets emptied inside out and their palms outstretched, uttering to one another on a constant loop— you’re safe here— as they take their clothes off for each other to see.

Bookmarker's Notes
this fic was made for me. everything about it.
details from the fic mentioned
from carla's thoughts and realization during captive, the way how carla is described wanting not to exist in this body of hers, the way how the two of them are so stilted but cannot help but be drawn and orbit around each other, the red thread THE READ THREAD!?? the red string of fate (b!? you're living inside my head and you're not paying rent?!! <3), them asking each other permissions, lisa is the one being strong and comforting carla i'm sobbing, to the scissoring!? and lisa holding carla from behind while carla's using the dildo on herself!? (again i'm receiving no rent money from nobody here <3)
and yeah that ending with lisa handing carla a glass of water. masterful cinematic piece of fic right there.for reasons, this is the counting to my empties folks.
in the most beautiful healing way possible. -

oh i'm sorry. why haven't i bookmarked this masterpiece sooner you ask? idk either. but now i'm doing it.
pure edging perfection. tension so delicious and smooth butter wouldn't stand a chance. fluff + mutual pining perfect combo i'd say. hurts so good you'd be begging for more.

excerpts from the fic
She pictures herself being bent over the table, feels Lisa’s hands dragging her dress upwards. She imagines Lisa sliding her cock into her, taking her roughly in front of all of her colleagues.
She thinks about how easily she would’ve given in, how she’d have pushed backwards into Lisa’s thrusts — how she’d have reached down and touched herself.
“Oh, baby,” Carla’s starting to lose control, Lisa can feel it, remains poised just so.
“Suck it, suck me off,” Carla demands and Lisa closes her lips around Carla’s clit.
She sucks and flicks her tongue so expertly Carla can barely keep herself upright.
“Good girl, good girl,” Carla praises, fist tightening ever more, lower back prickling with sweat.

“Doesn’t your husband do most of the work?” Carla asks, eyes widening as soon as she realises what she’s said. She scrambles immediately. “Sorry. I meant… Well. Not that women can’t— Oh god. I’m making it worse, aren’t I?”
“Carla, it’s fine… But there’s no husband. The farm’s mine. I do have a couple of staff who help me out though.”
“Wow… Must be hard work,” Carla says, blowing out a breath.
“Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman?”

Summary
A heavy sigh.
Almost sounds like defeat but they both know better.
Carla doesn’t give up easily, she gets what she wants and right now (well all the time really if she’s honest) she wants her tiny, stubborn blonde detective to give her attention, cure her boredom.
Put the bloody book down.
The book that is currently her competition in this little game.
Pfft as if the book stands a chance.
She’s Carla bloody Connor.

Summary
Carla Connor is a Manchester Mafia Boss, which means she's in charge of nefarious activities AND the people carrying them out. She's a hard nut to crack, but if anyone can, then it's Lisa Swain from the Organised Crime Unit. Taking the assignment as an undercover copper, Lisa's worked her way into Carla's organisation. But can she work her way back out again before falling for our Mafia Queen or exposing her true identity?
This was a "thing" I mooted on tumblr and for those three people who wanted it - here it is!
I'm proceeding with caution when it comes to this story. I have *plans*.

Summary
Carla replayed it in her mind over and over— the cold look on Lisa’s face as she’d told Carla to go, the blame she had spat in Carla’s face. It was impossible to reconcile this with her love, her life, the Lisa who had held her hand all those months ago and told her she was never going anywhere.
Or
Lisa ends things seemingly for good after Rob takes them hostage and Betsy is shot. It turns Carla’s life upside down and sends her on a journey of self-exploration as she’s forced to confront the relationships that mean the most to her and the ways Lisa has changed her for good. But it's never over til it's over...

this carla was for meeeee
update: i just realized that my note for this bookmark was plain af and this masterpiece def deserves so much more. so i'm fixing it.
this right here ladies and gents and nons, is the swarla fic of all time for me ok? no argument. their characterization is very near and dear to me. i carry them in my heart at all times ♡
the way b writes swarla/carlabetsy/lisabetsy and especially carla's journey of exploring and ruminating abt her sexuality is everything to me. if the show has a third of what was explored in this fic, ON-SCREEN i would have happily traded my retirement money for it.
anyways, b - angst goddess what can i say. i love her. -

can't believe i just read this now. should have found this sooner. aside from the canon-divergent thing. and lisa having casual sex. it's perfect. all of canon!lisa trait put into this universe. and with this carla. yeah you're damn right i'm invested.
updated: this fic got deleted :( i don't remember the name but i remember the premise: carla gave peter the ultimatum - her or booze. he chose booze. so she left. went to some hotel. met lisa. they hooked up (well written i liked it) then she got news of peter being in the hospital. she went, he's fine. but she couldn't get lisa out of her mind. so she went back to the hotel. it ended there. -

Summary
Carla knows, then, with a certainty so sudden it's almost shocking, that this, this thing, didn't start last month. It didn't randomly spark during the early-October evening when they were loose-lipped, half-tipsy with wine, when the blonde had settled cosily on her shoulder like she belonged there.
No, it's been smouldering away in the background, building and building, for a long, long time.
It's been six months in the making.
Or: "Don't get dressed" and everything else.
