Bleeder [Blood Magic, Book 1] by deathofcool

What if everything you knew about yourself was a lie? Mildred "Mills" Millhatten had a good life: close-knit family, fantastic friends, decent grades and even a not-totally-annoying kid brother. You might say it was the best kind of ordinary. So nothing could have prepared her for being taken and cast into a strange, vicious world that she didn't know existed and has little hope of understanding. As a Bleeder - one whose lifeblood feeds the Nosferatu - her continued survival hangs ever in the balance. The creatures are keeping her alive because they believe her blood has mystical properties. Mills fears what will happen when they realize they are wrong. If she hopes to survive and discover who she truly is, she needs an ally. She needs to befriend the mysterious boy who's been secretly visiting her cell, even though he's destined to become a bloodthirsty monster. Because she lives in their world now, and if she doesn't do something fast, she's going to die in it too.

Elder's fog by Whitefluffcat

The story follows an elder elf who has spent her life fulfilling the roles expected of her - a perfect daughter to the King of Elves, and a devoted wife and mother. But everything changes when she receives a strange letter from her estranged father. The words feel... off. Unfamiliar. Like they weren't written by him at all. That same day, she is diagnosed with the Elder's Fog - an incurable disease that every elf is terrified of. Alone, afraid, and desperate for answers, she sets out for a forgotten island where her "father" now lives - the only elf known to have survived the Fog. Will she be able to race against time to uncover her father's secrets despite her deteriorating condition? Does he hold the key to a cure? Can she reclaim joy before the fog consumes her? Will she rise to become a better ruler than her father ever was - and challenge the world's prejudice against elves?

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe.

She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath.
