Summary
"Oh, please tell me you haven’t had an argument with your mother in front of the whole family".
"Worse" Lisa muttered, suddenly looking very interested in the floor. "I lied".
"You? Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain, pillar of truth and justice, told a fib? Colour me intrigued. What did you say?"
"I told them I was already dating someone."
Carla let out a sharp bark of laughter. "No! Brilliant. Who’s the lucky imaginary lady?"
"Mum went into absolute overdrive. She didn't even pause for breath. She immediately declared that if I’ve been seeing someone, they have to come on the family holiday. I started panicking, trying to make up excuses – said she was busy, said she hated the beach, said she had a terrible phobia of flying. But they wouldn't have it. Mum was relentless. She demanded to know her name".
"And? What did you tell her?”
"I said Carla"

Summary
Lisa Swain is the architect of order: Captain of Manchester City, a minimalist perfectionist, and the self-proclaimed "Ice Queen" of the league. She views football as a science to be mastered.
Carla Connor is the definition of chaos: Captain of Manchester United, a local hero fueled by adrenaline, instinct, and the roar of the crowd. She views football as a war to be won.
For ten years, they have been total opposites. For five years, they have been bitter rivals. But this season, the tackles are hitting harder, the stares in the tunnel are lingering longer, and the hatred is starting to feel dangerously like obsession.
When the rivalry spills over the touchline, Lisa discovers that the only thing more terrifying than losing control is giving it to the one person she’s sworn to destroy.

Gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. One of the best AU fics out there. From the descriptions to the characters, really well thought out. Super in-depth. I take my time reading this one as one chapter is pretty long, but that’s the best part. Currently on chapter 18

The things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.
Or:
Another Swarla affair fic in which they are both morally questionable but they’re soulmates so it’s probably okay

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.

Oh, I remember this little devil. The first fic that broke my heart completely. This author has the ability to ruin you in the best way possible.
I’m still a little mad that Carla’s heart was so broken in this story, though I did understand our little Lisa. The way they were portrayed, and the way they were hurting each other, was beautifully heartbreaking. But it’s a must-read because it has a sweet ending, even if it feels like we were never going to get there.💕. Also has the most earth shattering smut 🤭
