Summary
Lae'zel came looking for a summer’s work, a steady paycheck, and enough open country to disappear into. Jenevelle came because there was nowhere else left to go.
Hired by the wealthy and thoroughly unpleasant Enver Gortash, the two women are sent into the mountains with a herd of sheep, a pair of horses, and strict instructions not to return until the season is over. Jenevelle has never met anyone as proud, hostile, or infuriating as the displaced gith ranch hand she has been forced to call her partner. Lae’zel, meanwhile, has little patience for Jenevelle’s sarcasm, her secrets, or the way she treats every sincere feeling like something to be ashamed of.
But high in the lonely summer pastures, far from the expectations waiting for them below, irritation slowly gives way to companionship... and companionship to something neither woman is prepared for.
Summer, however, cannot last forever.
When they return home, they try their best to continue life as normal. They find new people, build new relationships, and try to start new beginnings. But something keeps drawing them together, whether it's love, fate, or something else; it's hard to tell.

Summary
Shadowheart finally has the life she’s always wanted: a peaceful farm, her wife Lae’zel, and their adopted child, Xan. But when a Selûnite chapter near the outskirts of Waterdeep calls for her help, she leaves home expecting only a simple act of service. But instead, she stumbles onto a situation rotting from within. People vanish in the night, come back wrong, and something hungry stirs beneath it all.
To uncover the truth, she joins forces with her old friend and companion, Gale, who is hunting answers of his own as a mysterious curse tightens its grip on the city he calls home.

The Cunning Linguists are here to rock your world!
Led by Lae’zel on the drums, Faerûn’s hottest wannabe rock band is rounded out by her savvy & sassy guitarist Astarion and theory-obsessed bassist Gale. When they’re not stuck wasting their lives at dead-end jobs, the trio sweat it out in Lae’zel’s garage, rehearsing covers of old metal songs and holding onto the hope of a gig that might never come.
There’s just one problem: they need a singer if they ever want to be taken seriously. But Lae’el? She just won’t budge. To her, the mic only ever belonged to one person. The one who got away. Or so she thought.

The Tomb Raider's Guide to Adventure (And Love) by DayoftheZed

Summary
After years of relentless expeditions, public scrutiny, and surviving places most people would never dare set foot in, Lara does something nearly unthinkable: She stays home! At Croft Manor, she begins work on a book. A true adventurer's guide to the world’s most dangerous and long-lost destinations. It is meant to restore her reputation, stabilize the Manor’s future, and perhaps give shape to the life she’s spent years outrunning.
But writing about the past means reopening it. As Lara revisits Peru, Yamatai, Siberia, and every ruin that left its mark, she finds herself increasingly haunted by old memories, worsening press, and the wreckage of a failed relationship with her ex, Sam. The only constants in the vast old house are old Winston, who has seen Lara through every incarnation of herself, and Jonah Maiava, her steadfast best friend and, lately, her infuriatingly comforting roommate.
As the book takes shape, so too does something Lara is far less prepared to face. The possibility that the person who has always kept her grounded may now mean far more to her than either of them has ever dared admit.

With no friends, no loved ones, no home, and no hope, she’s forced to survive on the unforgiving streets, clinging to the dream of a better future. But just as she begins to carve out a fragile existence, shadows from her past emerge, old faces and bitter memories resurfacing to remind her of everything she’s lost.
Haunted by these relentless ghosts, V faces a choice: confront the demons that threaten to consume her, or risk being swallowed by the city that never lets go. Can she outrun her past? Or will it claim her before she finds the happiness she so desperately craves?
