Have you considered Nghi Vo’s singing hills cycle novella series? Produced pretty consistently, about a monk who travels and collects stories with their photographic memory bird. I always found this fantasy series comfy and lush. I also recommend the Birdverse series by R. b. Lemberg (The Four Profound Weaves novella and The Unbalancing Novel), which is all about themes of emotional connection and community.
