Summary
"Write again soon, stranger. I do look forward to your letters."
When Carson Shaw unintentionally takes a job typing letters for an advice columnist in a women's magazine, she is offered a glimpse into the lives of women from all across the country. Although her conservative boss refuses to respond to any problems which might be deemed inappropriate or immoral, Carson cannot help but connect with the readers who have poured out their hearts in hopes of being helped. The work brings some of her own fears to the fore and, with her husband away fighting in the war, she finds herself plagued with doubt over her marriage and her future.
When she secretly replies to some of the forbidden letters, she inadvertently begins a conversation with a fascinating stranger who might just change the course of her whole life...
[Or, a letter-writing AU based loosely on the book Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce]

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.)

Summary
Carson Shaw is a damn good player, and she's definitely not about to let that go because of the shining beacon of the Ottawa Stars.
Greta Gill, the woman in question, is the darling of the hockey world, tall, and beautiful, and always graceful even in the fiercest moments on the ice. She’s a favourite for the Canadian team in the upcoming Olympics, the star forward of her team, and one of the strongest players Carson’s seen in a long time.
She’s also been Carson’s post-game fuckbuddy for the last three years, but that’s by-the-by.
Or: Carson and Greta, rival national league hockey players, have been in love for a lot longer than they realise.
