LOTR: Children of Refusal

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!

Blood And Ember: the eternal flames and fangs

In a city ruled by shadows and secrets, monsters walk freely—disguised as humans, bound by ancient laws no one dares to break. Eliana is an orphan with no past and no family, working long nights at a powerful law firm that defends people who never seem entirely human. She believes her strange instincts, her unnatural heat, and the fire that answers her emotions are flaws she must hide. She has no idea they are the legacy of an ancient dragon tribe thought long extinct. Asher is vampire nobility—cold, controlled, and centuries old—born into one of the ruling bloodlines that governs the supernatural world from the shadows. Raised to obey tradition and preserve balance at any cost, he has never questioned the laws that forbid vampires from crossing blood with dragons… until the night he meets Eliana. Their connection is immediate. Dangerous. Impossible. As hidden wars stir beneath the city and long-buried treaties begin to fracture, Eliana becomes the center of a conflict she never knew existed. The law firm she works for is no coincidence. Her past was never lost—it was erased. Loving Asher could ignite a war that would destroy them both. But walking away might be even deadlier. In a world where blood commands power and fire answers only to truth, Blood & Ember is a modern dark fantasy romance about forbidden desire, ancient bloodlines, and the choice between destiny and the one person who makes eternity worth risking.
