    Summary

    In Nargothrond in the First Age, Bëor wrote down the oral tradition of his people to pass on to his younger son, Belen. Throughout the rest of that age and the next, his descendants preserve this book through grief and joy, war and cataclysm, from the highlands of Dorthonion to the fall of Númenor, and reencounter the mythology of their people in the ongoing dance of memory and immortality.

    Atanatári: (Quenya) The Fathers of Men
    Issë: (Quenya) Knowledge, Lore

    "Belen [was the] second son of Bëor the Old, to whom the wisdom of Bëor
    (for Bëor himself had been one of the wise) was chiefly transmitted."

    Summary

    Alice Hare is a good girl.
    A graduate in search of a job.

    She lives with her loving but overbearing parents, letting her mother steer every decision, drifting between coffee dates and job interviews, and avoiding conflict by smoothing everything over with small lies and compliance.

    When a high-stakes interview at the SYSFinity Industries finally seems to promise a way forward, Alice faints on the street afterwards and wakes up in God knows where. The man she sees, the woodsman, who chases and captures her, marches her through the wilderness under threat and in the next breath, she comes to again on hot city asphalt.

    How deep does the rabbit hole go?

    Summary

    He keeps his claws fixed against the scruff of your neck. Forcing you down, bowed on your knees with your face tucked tight against his massive thigh, breathing in the stale scent of him. Even through the foreignness of it—the sharp burn of oxidising iron, rusted metal, and old, rotting blood—he smells good. Intoxicating. It makes you dizzy. Makes you greedy. For something. Survival, maybe. That instinctual drive, self-preservation, needling in your hindbrain to keep you alive.
    Despite your reticence, you angle your chin up, glaring at this creature, this beast. This Cimmerian god of old. Stygian king in his throne of bones, his pretty pet, his plaything, supplicant by his side.
    You won't ever submit. Ever.

     

    in this tangled game of captive and keeper—pretty pet, little plaything, to a being beyond your understanding—you realise that your submission, your surrender, is what he’s after. but what does submission even mean when he keeps you nestled in his bed of furs, collared by his hand. nothing, you suppose.
    but when he fails to turn from a hunt, you find yourself caught between a pit and a pendulum.
