Summary
AU. A deviation from Carla's psychosis storyline.
While deep in the grips of psychosis and hiding out at her childhood home-turned-squat, Carla is arrested and sent to Norcross, where she meets Betsy Swain. The two form an unlikely friendship.
When Carla is released early on licence, she is placed in a halfway house to finish out her sentence. After a violent run-in with another resident, she is forced to look for alternative accommodation. All she has to do is convince Lisa Swain that letting a complete stranger and ex-con move in with her is a good idea...
Slow burn.
Carla's life is mostly canon up until her psychosis, but the Swains I have moulded to fit into this AU timeline
Complete.

Summary
She’s clear as day through the bay windows of the restaurant they’re passing, tucked into a booth, and equally, tucked into Lisa. They’re on the same side of the table, half-empty wine glasses in hand, and she’s leaned back against Lisa in a way he’s never seen her with other friends. His heart jumps to his throat.
Picks up somewhere in late 2023 and imagines how things may have gone had Peter chosen a bit of ethical non-monogamy, rather than Leaving On A Boat, as the cure for his feelings of stagnation.
