Here We Are (HWA) is a webcomic created by Dirchansky (she/any). It's a series of intertwined comics about ordinary people navigating their lives and relationships. Queer, slice of life, and may have mature themes.

Arc 1 (ch 1-11)—Slow burn romance about two logger sports jocks trying to fall in love. Jake/Austin-main.
Arc 2 (ch 12 onwards)—Nomance, self-discovery, and carving your own path in life. Sabina-main.

HWA was first posted online ~Dec 2018, originally conceived as a bridge between two one-shot comics—Motivation, Concentration (2014) and Tie the Knot [18+] (2017). I release full chapters in my "free" time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (we're 150+ pages in).

A fake HWA anime trailer exists (HMU if you want to make real anime ★). There was a limited edition handbound, printed book (sold out) of Arc 1, but a digital PDF is still available.

There are HWA-related Q&As up at Ink, Sweat, and Tears (thanks M.Sorcier) and Discover Comics (thanks Tait). You can email me at dirchansky[at]pm.me!
