And that was Chapter 12, ladies! Thank you so much for coming along for the ride, this has been such an incredibly gratifying chapter to make and see your commentary on.
Next week will be the start of an 8-part epilogue of sorts, showing various details about Shez's family post-Chris. Stay tuned!
Tina’s bio is now up!
Lease Bound’s first fandom week event is accepting submissions (fanart, fanfics, essays, memes, ect). Click here for details on how to join / check out entries.
Who else is in the group chat?! I nEED To KNow!!!!
Asdfghhjkl I love so much that this is apparently a common reaction! Also, that is a very tangible way of leveling up your friendship, and I am genuinely so glad for Jaden. She has been closing herself off for so long now, and it is genuinely joyful to watch her form these deep connections to the women around her.
Rusty I’d risk it all for Jaden. Me x Jaden.
Murder plot with the girlies LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
omg Tina’s bio! ‘waiting for her prince charming’ and loving romance novels, which are a completely inaccurate representation of men 😬
Chris presented himself EXACTLY as a Prince Charming type, acting like he was sweeping in to rescue Miriam.
Men USE the kinds of naive expectations set by romance novels and such to trick and trap women, to get them to fall for them and defend them despite how many red flags start creeping up.
I feel really bad for Miriam that 2 of her daughters, despite everything she went through to protect them and save them, don’t seem to take her (or Shez’s and Rocky’s) experience seriously, and think she’s being unreasonable. It’s also sad because all you can do is hope they realize she’s right naturally as they mature, and never have to learn the hard way 😞
On a lighter note: I absolutely LOVE that Shez has enough amazing and supportive women in her life that there’s a whole group chat’s worth of them willing to be an alibi for her pest control operation! (and love that Jaden’s actually that committed to protecting other women)
Ehe add me to the group chat too, I’m really glad Shez and her family have a good support system!
Ohhhhh! She said it, too! Jaden, this is why everyone loves you; you’re the voice of the people (when you’re not being too hard on yourself.)
I, too, would like to join the Hide Chris’s Murder Group Chat. Is this going to become a real thing if enough of us ask? 😂
As concerned as I am for Tina I love hearing she’s got the goal of publishing her own novel 💖💖💖 I want her to succeed and keep that joy of creation and romance but still learn to be more uhhh realistic with her expectations of the real world 😭
also I need to know what her ao3 handle is cause I KNOW babygirl has one!!! Tine show me your Star Shifters 50k slow burn fanfic!!!!
So Tina is the bookish type confirmed. It’s sad NGL she must feel so split and it wasnt even her fault 🙁 i wonder if she ever feels resentment towards Shez cause Parniya can visit their house but whatever BF she may acquire cannot. Maybe the epilogue will shine a light on how she feels about the other sisters nowadays
Thank you for the new page. BTW on the matter of GNC lesbians, might let ya know of this interesting interview with an israeli desister+poet? https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZkGWxe6m8Tg if you have time LMK what you think of it 😊
A group chat for just wanting to kill Chris? Can I get in on this group chat? 😈
I too would like to join the group chat please! Ideally there won’t ever be a need for this, given the group alibi coordination, but should Shez happen to need a lawyer at any point… Pro bono. It’s a very good cause.
What a chapter, Rusty. I had tears in my eyes more than once, but for this page, they were happy tears. Neither of those two is alone anymore.
OoooOOoOhH My goooooooddness!! I just spent my afternoon reading all of Lease Bound and I absolutely loved every bit of it! I cannot wait to see more of this in the future! Shez has grown to be one of my favourite characters now and I really aspire to be a strong woman like the ones you portray in this series. <3
Tina, girl, from a straight woman from another… Live your life like you want, you don’t need a prince charming to rescue you. Trust me on this one.
And this ep was amazing and an amazing breath from the Gendie party thing. Sure, Chris and his moids issues were horrible, but I’m still glad that this comic is still focused in women for women and now we know why Meriam was crying when Shez could bought her a new home. TY for this amazing chapter.
Waaait, Rissa, at what KIND of medical practice does your boyfriend work? (🤞please don’t say cosmetic surgery🤞)
I started by hate reading this but now that I’ve binged the whole comic I desperately want more. Except now I’m not hate reading… I’m invested.
