Summary
After the glory of England’s Euros win, football star Carla Connor and Detective Inspector Lisa Swain escape the chaos for one sun-soaked week in Ibiza. For the first time in months, it’s just the two of them—no press, no cameras, no crime scenes. Just peace, cocktails, and the quiet certainty that they’re ready for forever. But when they return to Manchester, real life rushes back in.
Carla is preparing for the next season with Man City Women. Lisa is thrown into one of the biggest cases of her career, working long hours and making headlines of her own. As the public spotlight intensifies and their time together shrinks, Carla and Lisa try to hold on to what matters most: each other.
Wedding plans begin—quietly at first—but family, media, and demanding careers make "simple" feel impossible. When external pressures test their trust and priorities, they’ll need more than love to make it work. Because this isn’t just a story about winning championships or catching criminals. It’s about choosing each other—every single day.

Summary
So I think that the current storyline in emmerdale involving Charity and Dr Todd is very impactful and a story that needs to told. I want to recreate this story between Carla and Becky.
I will not be going into detail of the assault, this will purely be based on the aftermath effects on Carla's mental health, police reporting, the effect on her loved ones and public reaction.
That being said due to the nature of the story please be cautious when reading.
As a survivor, I find it very empowering to tell stories like this and taking into account public opinion of same sex abuse.
For the practicalities of his story - LIsa and Becky are divorced and Carla and Lisa are married.
Also, a note to say yes chatgpt was used to help correct spelling as I am partially sighted and dyslexic. But story, scenes, ideas are all my own.
