no one knows what goes on behind closed doors by Phoebmonster
Fandoms: Coronation Street
06 Jul 2026

Summary
Lisa just looked stunned, and Carla started to panic a little.
"It's not illegal, is it? You can't arrest me for … public indecency, or summat?"
"Carla -" Lisa swallowed. "Are you really going to make me sit through dinner?"
Oh, Carla thought, the smirk back on her face. That's why she was looking so wide-eyed.
"Yes, darling." Carla leant forward, her voice a purr. "We're going to eat dinner, celebrate it being a Wednesday or summat, and then, if you're very good, I've got us a room upstairs. Does that sound like something you're up for?"

Summary
Lisa’s lips are parted. Hot air passes through them in short pants leaving miniscule droplets of dew upon them. Her hand is pressed firmly into the wall, finger nails scratching as a pitchy groan echoes from her rapidly rising and falling chest.

Summary
“You’re such a good mate,” Lisa smiles at Carla. Teeth out, creases around her eyes, the lot.
Carla’s heart sinks in her chest. It’s not just a metaphorical feeling, she actually feels it happening, feels the weight of Lisa’s words pushing down deep within her. So she does the only thing she can think of in that moment so as not to completely give the game away; she takes a long sip of her drink, eyes darting around the room, looking for anything to focus on beside Lisa.
Well that backfired, didn’t it?
Lisa’s still smiling.
Friendzoned much?
God, she’s not used to this. Doesn’t think she’s ever been friendzoned in her life.
First time for everything, she supposes.

Summary
This girl had been hanging on her every word for the past few hours, showering her with compliments, laughing at just about everything she said and even dragging her out for a dance. Carla would be lying if she told herself she hadn’t enjoyed the attention. And — be it because she apparently had a thing for blonde women or simply because this particular one was gorgeous — there was no denying that Carla was attracted to her. But something about that made her uneasy, even with all the alcohol in her system, even though she had no real reason to feel guilty.
Or;
Having moved back into No. 6 after "ending" things with her still-legally-married-to-a-resurrected-woman fiancée, a contract renewal meeting brings about the return of two people Carla hasn't seen in a while: Posh Gareth and Jealous Lisa.

Summary
For each day of this month (June) aka pride month, I shall give myself a prompt and write a one shot each day to the best of my ability. The first chapter will be a conversation about sexuality between Carla and Lisa as I always wished Corrie delve more deeply into that and the vulnerability that comes with it. There will be many one shots from domestic Swarla to Swarla on a night out in the town or a drag night like we saw in the show. Enjoy and always feel free to provide me with any constructive criticism. Thank you! Happy Pride Month everybody, happy June lovelies🌈✨

Fancy some lunch? It was a simple question really. Although im not sure Lisa was thinking this was how her lunch break was going to go but Carla really, really, really wanted lunch.
An alternative spin on todays episode.
I said it on twitter, that kitchen island is so pretty and unused. So I changed that.

Summary
She’s spent so long fighting a brain that seems to work against her. Being tormented as she overthinks every word, every action, constantly chasing some sense of worthiness that's always just out of reach.
And she's so tired of it all.
So tonight, she doesn't want to have to choose what to be, what to do.
She doesn't want to have to think at all.
She wants that control to be ripped from her grasp. Wants instead to place her mind entirely in Carla's hands, to let herself be unravelled till she knows nothing but her. She needs to let go of everything else, to become suggestible and pliant for Carla to shape however she pleases, to be taken however she wishes. Until she knows she's exactly what Carla wants — until there's no more room for doubt.
Until she's good.
(Or: Set after Carla goes to visit Lisa in her office in the 25/06/25 episode, Lisa plans an evening taking care of Carla, and Carla finds a way to take care of her in return - an exploration of Lisa's need to be useful, her struggles with letting Carla in, and most importantly, her praise kink.)
