Still, she can’t live without them."

“Well, I can’t see my own face, so how would I know that?”
Carson rolls her eyes, even though she’s grinning at the laughter that puffs against her cheek. “You’re a real smartass, did you know that?”

When Carson reaches her breaking point, a drunk night with her friends leads to her submitting an online appointment request for a Ms. Greta Gill.

OR: The modern divorce lawyer AU that no one asked for but I am happy to provide.
Title comes from "ivy" by Taylor Swift which is 100% a Gretson song and no one will be able to convince me it isn't queer as hell

Summary
When Greta made the trek from New York City to Rockford, Illinois, she did it for two reasons: to start a new adventure and to play collegiate-level softball.
When Carson made the days-long odyssey from Lake Valley, Idaho to Rockford, Illinois, she did it for three reasons: to get away from Lake Valley, to get a college degree, and to play collegiate-level softball.
Neither of them expected much more than that, but with the backdrop of an era marked by strife and unrest, truth can sometimes be stranger than the fiction Carson hides herself in, and true freedom, more than you ever thought possible, can be just in reach.

Summary
Greta wished she could tell Carson how good she felt. How her hands on her hips burned through her dress, warming her up. How she smelled intoxicatingly of soap, sweat, and the leather of her baseball mitt. How much she thought about how this would feel every second of every day. But it was risky enough that Greta’s hands were now unbuttoning Carson’s dress, sliding underneath her bra, and Greta was too scared to make any more noise. The sound of Carson’s heavy breathing seemed to fill the tiny room.
Or, Greta is following the rules, but she’s not being careful.

Summary
Greta had an eye for detail - the right shade of red lipstick, the careful swoop of her hair over one brow, the perfect brooch to accessorize the jacket of her traveling suit. The way Carson Shaw’s eyes had snagged on her lips the first time they met, the way she blushed when Greta winked at her, the way she stopped breathing when Greta stepped too close.
Or, Greta waits around for Carson after a game.

I obviously REALLY love the storytelling and the characters on the show. I am super obsessed. This is my first attempt at fanfic, so it might suck, but I needed to clear out the brain rot. Feedback is super welcome! I'm sure there are typos and my formatting for dialogue/tense could use work.

Summary
Carson’s world was turned upside down after her summer in Rockford. The life she had prior to Greta Gill no longer interested her in the slightest. Problem is she doesn’t quite know how to tell Greta or Charlie what her next move is. What happens when her silence nearly ruins her chance at happiness?
OR, my version of Carson and Greta’s goodbye on the porch of the Peaches house and all the subsequent events after that.This will be a multi chapter fic with plenty of angst in the beginning. But don’t worry! Gretson is and forever will be endgame. Plus fluff and SMUT all coming later!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Uh... Val!" She hums her own introduction song, scatting to the pretend music backing her up. A single leg appears from the edge of the closet door, followed by a dramatically presented hand, then the rest of Carson. Greta whoops and claps her hands, welcoming 'Val' to the stage.

Summary
The first time leads to the best sleep Greta has had in months, maybe years, and she knows it’s because of Carson’s arm slung over her hips. It’s everything she’s needed for longer than she wants to admit, especially when she wakes up and Carson is still there, holding her tight.
Normally, it’s Greta who does the holding.
She falls back asleep before she can think of all the reasons why her heart is pounding.
She wakes again, and Carson is still wrapped around her.

Summary
It’s not that Greta doesn’t like how much Carson talks. There’s something comforting about it, about the low timbre of her voice that wraps Greta up like a blanket when the days are hard, but sometimes, she just wants quiet with Carson, solemn silence where they can exist together away from the world.
Luckily, there’s an extremely effective method to make that happen.
Greta finds that all she really has to do is take off her clothes.
(Or, five times Greta gets Carson out of her head the only way she knows how. Carson really does sometimes talk and think too much for her own good, and Greta can think of so many other things that they could do instead.)

Summary
When Greta’s voice streams through the church, breaking Carson out of her trance, she realizes she does know what it’s like to worship. To devote oneself to a higher cause, a purpose beyond the personal. Haloed by every prismatic hue where she stands in front of stained glass, a silhouette of sin and scripture all at once, Greta is holy in this moment, she is the God that Carson understands. The theology of Greta is one that Carson gets.
Carson is not godless any longer with Greta beside her. Greta is her refuge, her asylum, the only sanctuary Carson knows for sure. Greta’s body is her church and Carson is always ready to bow at the steps.
(Or, a retelling of their first time in the convent. An (absolutely smutty) study of Carson, Greta, and religion.)

Summary
Greta forces herself to stand her ground, thinking idly that her unexpected lingering guest kind of reminds her of Maybelle: full of responsibility and seemingly looking for a moment away from it, unafraid, searching for a place to belong. It’s enough to give her the tiniest rush of affection. But Maybelle makes her think of Jo, and Jo makes her think of Ana, and Ana makes her think of Terri, and Terri makes her think of the church, and the convent, and Carson–
God.
Everything comes back to Carson.
At this point, Greta knows she shouldn’t think of her, but it’s hard.
(Or, Greta is now in New York for the off-season, and she's doing the whole seeing other people thing Carson joked about that night in the kitchen. It's not going well. But luckily, Carson decides to make her way to New York, to see Greta, to finally, finally make things right. It just might take a second to get there.)

"'She’s so used to being tough.' Jo’s words run through Carson’s head, and she knows Jo is right. Greta… She thinks, even, of Greta in the car, in the convent, taking charge, even when she’s not. Carson just wants to show her… Carson just wants to make sure she feels loved. The thought makes her stomach turn, but that’s fine."

The one where Carson finally, finally, gets the chance to show Greta how perfect she is.

Is there any better way to look like a complete fool than to say you don’t even know what you like in bed?
Or, Carson’s never been with a woman before, but that’s not the problem—it takes trust, and patience, and time to learn what you like, and before Carson met Greta, no one ever waited to find out.
Forgive me, love, forgive me, love, I make my mistakes. And I know sometimes it's more than you can take. But give me one more chance ‘cause the circumstance is that I'm just a beginner. —Macy Gray, “First Time.”

Summary
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Greta hisses, even as she watches the game, watches Carson leading off second base, the focus in her jawline, the flex of her calves, that stupid cap on her head.
“Oh really?” Maybelle leans over Jess. “Then why are you drooling?”
Greta’s face goes hot. “I’m not fucking drooling!” she hisses. “Carson and I work together.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you do lots of things together,” Jess quips, proud of themself.
Swallowing hard, Greta steels her resolve. They’re getting too close to the truth. She has to remember the rules she and Carson drew up in the back of class once – they should have been taking notes, but Carson’s hand was on her knee, her thumb drawing circles, so she spent most of class just doing her best to keep a clear head.
“Really, Carson and I are just friends,” she says, firm. “She has a boyfriend.” And that part is true at least. Carson isn’t her girlfriend; that’s Greta’s entire problem.
(Or, a modern-take on the affair and how it might play out if they were allowed more choices, for better or for worse. The one where they're in college, they're co-workers, they can't keep their hands off each other + they just really need to get their shit together.)
