    Summary

    The first time Sally graces them with her presence, Carla’s naïve enough to believe (and hope and pray) it’s a one-off.

    Doesn’t let it get under her skin too much.

    It’s not like Sally arrives at the worst possible time.

    Besides, they’re not even properly moved in yet (they’re still crammed into the flat), so she can’t exactly expect the neighbourhood menace to worry about interrupting anything.

     
    Or: 5 times Sally interrupts the Swain-Connors when they move into Yasmeen's old house, +1 time she gets a taste of her own medicine.

    Summary

    Set when Lisa tells Carla that she loves her and the story goes from there. I have been writing this ever since that episode but I wanted to get a few chapters ahead before I posted it. Apologies if some of my ideas are similar to other people's - I haven't copied, I've just not posted until now. It doesn't completely follow the transplant story, as there is no Rob involved but it is my little version. Hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    These two adorable dorks are my new obsession! I love how their story has developed, and I love love love that they’re both over 40.

    Chapters 1 and 2 are my take on what we didn’t see in Season 65, Episode 139 (aired in the UK on 22 November 2024). It’s all about the smut, lol. I’ve tried to keep it as close to the script in the first few paragraphs for both chapters, but after that it’s all just my explicit imagination.

    Chapter 3 is a bonus chapter I couldn’t resist. Back-together sex! Carla taking charge! Totally not canon, just indulgent.

    Thanks to AKCG and their YouTube playlist that meant this Brit abroad didn’t need to miss a minute of Swarla!
