    Summary

    Five years after the Battle of the Hexgates, a blue-haired girl has made a new life for herself. A life where she's happy, and she can finally do good. Be good.

    But when an unexpected package shatters her hard-fought tranquility, she's forced to decide:

    Who is she, at the end of it all?

    And can she possibly reconcile who she is now with who she was before?

    Can she even bring herself to try?

    At the same time, a red haired girl has had to deal with the fallout of the end of the war.

    Desperate loved ones may make choices that she'd never make.

    Summary

    She places her hands on my shoulders, breathes in deep, and states, clearly, "I want to fight you."

    I can't help the laugh that bursts out of me, really. I don't mean it mockingly, but her affronted huff and the pop of red around her tells me she took it that way. "No you do not."

    She huffs, looks me in the eye, determined. "I do." Her aura blooms in front of me, and I trace it with my eyes, finding not a hint of purple, every bit of the tapestry I'd expect to have it instead holding pink. "I really do."

    Oh.

    Summary

    Lara...she's…she's calm, she's quiet, she's kinda introverted but has this loud fiery side that only really comes out when she's into something. She talks about mythology, archeology, and anthropology-- and she fucking glows! She shines when she's in her element. And she's *kind*. That has always been Sam's first word to describe Lara Croft. Gentle, considerate, and *kind*.

    But here, in front of her, is irrefutable proof that Lara can kill people without blinking. That she can decide that an entire group of people needs to die in order for the people Lara cares about to be safe.

    And Sam doesn’t know which one is the real Lara. She doesn’t know if she can be both at once, or if this new, killer-Lara has overwritten Sam’s best friend.

    And Sam doesn't know how to help her.

    But the worst part? The part that scares her even more than those fucking lunatics?

    She isn't even sure Lara wants to be helped.
