Summary
"The letters paint a picture of Carson’s life since Rockford, and Greta hungers for every new instalment. She learns of what happened immediately after they parted on the porch, of the way Carson had returned to Idaho just long enough to draw a line under her life in Lake Valley. She follows Carson’s slow journey back to Illinois, this time to Chicago to earn a little money and try to set a new direction for herself. But, as a compass points always to the north, in time Carson had written to ask - ever so shyly and gently - if Greta might still want her to come to New York."
After months spent sending love letters back and forth across the country, Carson pays a visit to New York, just in time for Christmas.

Summary
Greta feels the moment when, in the seat beside her, Sarge actively loses the will to live.
“Miss Gill, allow me to be quite clear. The next time a gentleman requests the pleasure of your company, for my own sanity I will be sending one of your teammates as chaperone. I trust you will all behave…appropriately.”
Greta Gill gets asked on a heck of a lot of dates. That requires a heck of a lot of chaperones.
[Or, five times Greta goes on an unwanted date with a man and at least one chaperone with a talent for sabotage, and the one time she finally gets the date she really wants.]

Summary
"The world narrows around them until the sounds of the city grow muted, and there is nothing but Greta and the silk-soft press of her lips. It feels like pure elation - a heady combination of physical sensation and the realisation that this is real, that it is truly happening - and Carson’s whole body sings with it. Like a match pressed to the strike paper, her skin sparks and her blood runs hot, as every fibre of her being feels set to catch alight."
Greta runs, Carson picks up the pieces. Or, she tries. Until, that is, a chance encounter shakes the new foundations she has built for herself. It brings with it a chance for closure, catharsis, communication, and...a great deal of connection.
[this is a fill-in reunion and smut fic for my social media au: good day for marrying you]

pulled to our knees, at fire's feet by maidenstar

Summary
"Greta cannot stop herself from picturing the two of them packing their bags and boarding a train to somewhere else, somewhere they can be like this forever. Not long ago, she could write the manual on exit strategies; she could plan every defence blueprint known to humankind. But, thread-by-thread, Carson Shaw had pulled her apart at the seams. And now? Apparently she only pictures how to run if Carson is right by her side."
After that fateful first night in the convent, Greta and Carson eventually find themselves in each other's arms again, pulled apart by a fire neither of them can hope to contain. [Or, my take on That Night in the convent].
(Picks up where 'summer berries' left off, but can definitely be a standalone oneshot.)

Summary
"She isn’t used to Carson’s particular brand of eager attention, to the way it seems like she actually wants Greta and not just any old bite of some forbidden fruit."
On that first night in the convent, Greta realises that Carson needs to ease up a little. She's got a pretty good idea of how to make that happen. [Or, shameless smut with a lot of Greta feelings/introspection].
