Summary
Rory is a mildly popular speedrunner and streamer whose chill, pastel image is increasingly at odds with his mess of a personal life. Cole is the thorn in his side, a curt and aloof anonymous speedrunner with a habit of beating Rory’s world records at the worst possible time. When they meet in person at a charity speedrun event, Rory discovers the truth – Cole is more of a nervous wreck than he is, and even worse, Rory might not hate him after all.

Good comfort read over the course of several days while you're autistic and in your 20s and struggling to find your stride in a capitalist society. Not that that hits close to home or anything. Cough cough.

Summary
Roger Sheridan is a tough-talking, hard-drinking LA private eye. He's a real son of a bitch. As a confirmed bachelor in law enforcement, he learned to get mean quick--whether he wanted to or not.
The year is 1955, 10 since he got home from war and 7 since he got kicked off the force. It's winter, and the rain just won't let up. He'd get bored if it weren't for the newest case to land in his lap: a slain patriarch, a fallen starlet, and their prodigal son, all woven together in an ever-growing web of Hollywood scandal, intrigue, and blackmail. It would be a welcome distraction if that prodigal son weren't so nice to look at.
