    Summary

    In Lisa Swain’s world, happiness has always been a debt. If you feel good, you are about to pay for it. If you love someone, you have handed them the weapon they will use to gut you.

    When Lisa realises she's falling in love with Carla Connor, she brings more than just "baggage". She brings a set of rules - a psychological ledger of punishments, transactions, and "armour" designed to survive a wife who treated her like property.

    Carla wants to offer her a home. Lisa is just waiting for the punishment to begin.

    This story takes place in the universe where Becky is dead, prior to Carla & Lisa getting engaged and buying number 6.

    Warning: This story contains a raw and graphic exploration of the long-term psychological and physical effects of domestic abuse. It includes depictions of past marital rape, emotional coercion, gaslighting, and scenes of self-punishment/distress. It is a story about the agonizing, non-linear process of unlearning terror. Please prioritize your mental health before reading.

    Summary

    And she can't understand it. It doesn’t make sense.

    This should be a good thing. Shouldn’t it?

    Their family is finally complete again after years of heartache. The person who had loved her and Lisa so fiercely that her absence had torn their lives apart — their missing piece — back in her rightful place.

    This was everything they’d ever wanted, the thing that was supposed to make them whole.

    So then why, now more than ever, did it felt like her family was falling apart? 

    (Or: Betsy tries to come to terms with the return of her mum, who she really is, and whether she’s been this way all along.)

    Summary

    Her eyes are bloodshot, still swimming with tears that wait to fall, and when she steps out of the bathroom they dart to the closed door of Carla’s bedroom.

    She wants her mum.

    Before she knows it her ear is pressing against the wood, hoping to hear movement.

    Summary

    It’s insane, really.

    To feel like this, over a short-lived sunlit tryst. Skiving off work, fucking a friend. It was never anything real. Perhaps never anything at all.

    (The thought makes her sob harder.)
