Small People by moodygirlz
86 parts Ongoing
Title: Small People Description: Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him. Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave. As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge. Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.

Nothing is impossible for the Fae, but with her thieving boyfriend, insane mother, and peasant status, Ruby's happily ever after seems to be. When the Giants, a vicious and corrupt race, accuse Ruby's boyfriend of murdering their crown prince, Ruby volunteers for Regeneration to save him from a death sentence and her people from a terrible war. The rules of Regeneration are simple--clone yourself and lead the clone through three lives on Earth. One catch: the clone must not fall in love. Ember, Ruby's clone, can only hope for a happy ending. But even being forced to live three loveless lives during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, the Second World War, and in the polluted wasteland of 3125 A.D. China has its perks, for when Ember meets the same young man in all three of her lives, she knows he's the key to her happily ever after and vows to find him--no matter what. It seems as though Ruby's happy ending must come at the cost of Ember's, and Ember's at the cost of Ruby's. But soon a much bigger problem faces the two: the legendary Scepter of Argentum, which wields power over every mortal, is awakening. And the evil Queen of the Giants intends to seize it. As dark secrets about her heritage and past arise, Ruby allies with the most unlikely of beings, including an icy Giant princess, a mysterious Giant prince, and a three-legged dragon, to find the three pieces of the Scepter before the Queen does. But first she must make peace with the most daunting individual of them all--her other half. Can Ruby and Ember stop the Giant Queen and find their happy endings? Yes, they can...for the price of unbearable sacrifice, unimaginable selflessness, and undying bravery. . . . Amazing cover art by the talented @Homely8 . . .

12 parts Complete
Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after twenty years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. - Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction - Expectations for this Story: Immersive adventuring experience inside an intricate, magical world. Vivid imagery and deep characterization. Quirky magic system with mysterious elements and history. An original spin on the classic portal fantasy/isekai/waking up in another world interweaved with a science fiction twist. Scattered allusions and easter eggs. Builds expectations of future events to then defy that prediction. Slow-burn romance and complex, realistic relationships. Seriousness with a dash of humor. [August 3, 2021 Update Notice: The new revised and final version before book 2 will be up on August 8th on Royal Road. See you there!]
