The Great Aird-Belivet Feud of Butte County by DannyCreasy
Fandoms: Carol (2015), The Price of Salt - Patricia Highsmith

Summary
For over a century, two northern California farming families, the Airds and Belivets, have been at odds. They raised various crops over the decades, but both clans began to concentrate on growing and harvesting walnuts in the 1920s. Deadly gun violence haunted this feud in the 19th Century. Later, the weapons became words and societal backstabbing.
Therese Belivet returns to the groves in 1967 to teach at the local high school. Low and behold, Carol Aird's daughter, Rindy, is in Therese's Honors English class. Will it be two cats in a burlap sack or a pair of lovelorn souls discovering romance among the Walnut groves?

Summary
I’d like to think of this as a throwback to Patricia Highsmith’s noir genre. What if two ordinary people, Therese Belivet and Carol Aird, found themselves embroiled in events spinning rapidly out of control? Who is to be trusted? What is to be believed? Can one of them actually trust her lover’s memories of the events?

Summary
She asked once, how Abby met women.
A smile curled across Abby’s face. “There are places… in the city. Beyond that, sometimes there’s just a way of looking at someone. The way they look back at you. A gaze that lingers a little too long.”
Carol knew what Abby was alluding to. She’d experienced it countless times herself, with Abby, with other women. Sometimes unreciprocated, Carol left staring on her own, other times there was eye contact that lasted beyond simple acknowledgement. Carol had always chalked it up to pure admiration, though. And she’d never been compelled enough to act further, as much as she would’ve liked to. No, she wasn’t one to take chances, only pursuing sure bets.
Until one day, she went to the store. Goddamn Frankenberg’s.

Summary
Carol Aird was certainly Therese’s friend. They’d met when Therese first started working at the advertising agency about a year prior. Carol worked in analytics, while Therese worked in creative. Their teams would meet up a couple of times a month, at most, but the first time the meeting happened, Therese and Carol sort of…hit it off. Therese couldn’t really explain it, but they’d just clicked, and that same night, Carol invited Therese (and, nicely, Dannie) out for drinks with her friends. Therese had barely noticed anyone else was at the bar besides Carol.
Their timing, though, was never right.

Summary
A desperate woman must elude two groups of pursuers: deadly foreign agents and her own pathetically deceived Federal and state law enforcement agencies. She needs to rest, heal, and refuel. Will a sleepy inn nestled among California’s ancient Sequoias provide respite? Can the lovely innkeeper mend this fugitive's shattered heart?
Once again, I'm writing in third person limited from Therese’s perspective.

Summary
The events from the book told in the tone of the film. Like most films adapted from novels, Carol (2015) left out a lot of plot and scenes from Highsmith's "The Price of Salt." This work is a collection of those original moments from the book rewritten as if they had all made it in the film. Deviates slightly from both the book and the screenplay to incorporate my thoughts in recreating these moments and the main plot. Hope you enjoy!

Summary
All her life, Therese has been told to share.
Share this, share that. Sharing is caring and if you don’t share, you don’t care, and therefore, you are a terrible person. Share your toys with the other kids who will no doubt lose them or take them, only to break them when you ask politely if you can pretty please have them back. Share your pencils with the other kids in your group, all of whom have somehow neglected to bring their own.
More humiliatingly, share your mother with her new stranger husband and her unborn child, whom she already evidently loves more than you.
Now Therese, in her much more independent adult life, chooses to be greedier. And when Therese has an opportunity to fall wholly, maybe even irrevocably in love with one Carol Ross, and have those same feelings reciprocated, Therese takes it. She takes it all.
This one’s mine.
