It has been ten years since the borrower race was discovered by humankind, and the world is still struggling with its shift towards interspecies equality. Caught in the midst of it all is Brooke Tucker, a student whose family is falling apart after her father is convicted for illegally exterminating borrowers. To make things worse, her classmate and self-proclaimed borrower advocate Kaleb Finch is determined to make her life a living hell when he catches wind of her father's crime. 

But when Brooke discovers that Kaleb harbours a secret of his own; one which could turn the tides on borrower acceptance worldwide if let out, the two of them are forced into a reluctant truce. Both Kaleb and Brooke must learn to put their own prejudices aside if they want to get along, which turns out to be easier said than done in a society determined to drive them apart.All Rights Reserved

Jonathan, The Size Master (G/T, BxB) by EzekielPerez889

Welcome in a world where the evolution of humans took very different terms according to living conditions and the environment. There are now 3 classes of humans: the borrowers, with a size up to 5 inches, humans with a size or 1 foot up to 8 feet tall, and finally the giants from 30 feet up to 50 feet tall. As it is in our world, there is a lot of discrimination or "sizism", as it is called. The societies try to work together but many times there are ups and downs. Jonathan is a 20 year old human, 6'6" tall, with origins from the UK. Now he is attending university in the USA. There he has many friends but there is something missing: he wants a relationship with another human boy, but also has sexual desires with people of different sizes. But, there is also something else that is special about him: he has the ability to change the size of any person, animal and object he wants. His ability started to manifest a couple of years ago and he hasn't shown it to anyone... But who knows what - or who - could change that. Join him on his journey, as he meets Luke, one of his human classmates from the US, with his friend Ethan, a borrower that lives with Luke and attends their university. *Note: the story is still at early stages and everything is subject to change. I am realising chapters to get the feelings from people. Writing is a hobby for me, so please don't be super harsh 🥺*

The Pet Shop Helper [G/t] by Molly_Cat_2019

Don't let the name fool you. It isn't about treating borrowers like crap and all that. It's actually about a girl named Rose Leaflet who absolutely loves and respects borrowers. She works at a pet shop only because she gets to take care of borrowers that way. But when she is told to take a borrower man that went past his limit to the food market, she's shocked. Never has she had to do that before. And she doesn't. Her boss will tell her to keep the money that she'd receive for the borrower. So instead of selling the man, she takes him home. It's winter, and she can't just let him go. Then she is told to sell a second man the same day. But she doesn't. Instead she also takes him home. After a bit of trouble with the first one, she then finds two little borrower kids. The four borrowers find that they do not mind staying, since she doesn't baby them. She buys them a house and nuts them food that they can make themselves, letting them live comfortably. Soon she's finding that not only is she worrying about selling borrowers to nice people and taking care of borrowers at home in secret, she also has to secretly take home more and more borrowers. How will she keep all of them safe? Find out.

The Winged by _Tiny_Stories_

The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed!
