There are many tales that travel through the lips of the inhabitants of Montisola; more legends than real stories.
Tales of an ancient golden age, technologies so advanced as to be incomprehensible, cities claimed by the sea and wars. 
Some of these are closer to reality than they seem, such as that of  monsters: gigantic, bloodthirsty creatures waiting just beyond the island's shores. 

Alma is well aware of the dangers of the mainland, but she can no longer bear to feel like a shadow in her own home.
Dreaming over the pages of books had always been her way to escape a reality she didn't belong to, until a wrong decision leads her to respond to the call of adventure, and fall into the hands of a powerful monster.
Now she must come to terms with a world much larger than her and learn the difference between legends and reality.

The Winged by _Tiny_Stories_

Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. 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! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)

His tiny hostage [G/T] by ___cord____

In the realm of giants, Otis, the formidable Stone Prince, makes a chilling declaration: surrender part of the valley or face dire consequences. When he seizes a princess from the human kingdom, he cares little for her identity or fate, leaving her in a cold, grim cell within his castle. Bluebelle, the captured princess, awakens in a prison cell unlike anything she has ever seen-her surroundings are vast and strange, a giant's lair. As she escapes her cell and begins to explore, she encounters the giant's younger brothers-three playful triplets who, despite their initial fearsome appearance, seem more interested in showing her their world than in keeping her captive. Amidst their childish games and innocent curiosity, Bluebelle starts to question her own desires for escape. As she bonds with the triplets and sees a gentler side of her captor, she finds herself at the center of a conflict between duty and unexpected affection. When Otis discovers his brothers' new friendship with their prisoner, he must confront his own hardened heart and decide whether to maintain his fearsome reputation or embrace the surprising turn of events that could change everything. In this whimsical tale of captivity and camaraderie, loyalty is tested, and the lines between captor and companion blur in the most unexpected ways.

The Sugar Thief (G/T) (Completed) by bottlesandbuttons

My first ever g/t work. Inspired by Arrietty, although different plot. Contains sfw interactions only (minus some angst) (43,000~ words). Everything takes place in modern day, but in a fictional reality where little beings (borrowers) live in the walls and take things that humans don't need. They're incredibly timid creatures, but excellent survivors and very agile. They'd look 100% human if not for their ears, tails, and feet. Carter is the youngest in a family of four, resilient with a daredevil spirit. After a tragic turn of events he's left to fend for his own, and manages alright, until the unimaginable happens. But.. things may not be as bad as they seem. (Check out my other works for more GT content!)

My Borrowed Son by Narrans

Amanda is in the park one day after moving away from her ex-husband when she finds a small boy. This would be a simple problem to solve, but this little boy is quite literally the size of her hand and his parents are nowhere to be found. Unable to leave the boy behind, Amanda decides to take the boy in and take care of him while she tries to discover the mystery of who this little boy is. The boy, because of his size, presents a whole new set of challenges for the adoptive mother. ~~~~~^*^*^*^*^~~~~~ Parker knew he was different, but never truly understood why. He was unnaturally good at balancing. He had keen hearing and sight. His senses always felt heightened and he could predict when people were near. Believing he had a genetic condition that kept him from growing beyond four-and-a-half inches, Parker attributed his natural skills as part of his condition and lived as normal of a life as possible. Once he gets old enough, however, his world comes crashing down and makes him question who - what - he is. ~~~~~^*^*^*^*^~~~~~ This is the story of their journey.

But one boy alongside her own misfortune might just change everything. ____________________________________________________________ A short G/T story. Top Rankings: - #14 giant

The Giant War: Immovable Objects by SadBraveHero

Long before the extraordinary was vanquished and confined to the realm of children's tales, giants walked the Earth. Sixteen feet tall, powerful, long lived, they hunted the colder regions of Northern Europe in tight nomadic tribes, thriving unchallenged... Until a tiny, clever, mindlessly aggressive, voraciously reproducing competitor invaded their habitat. In such confrontations, Darwinian rules predicted unavoidable conflict. The odds would have favored the tiny invaders. The giants' formidable strength would not have been enough to overcome their adversary's sheer numbers. After enough battles the choice for these immense beings must have been obvious-- Flee or be annihilated. Some chose oblivion, giving birth to the glorious bedtime stories in our lore... Others fled. Hiding from view, keeping to the outskirts, they searched for a sanctuary so remote, so desolate and so uninviting, that their relentless persecutors wouldn't bother with it. Eventually they settled within the ice of the great glaciers of Antarctica, establishing a peaceful, isolated colony that flourished undisturbed for centuries. Then a clever scientist mixed up a batch of Rare Earth Elements and created a superconducting material that could corral as much energy as the sun could throw at it as long as it stayed around the temperature of ice. The invention instantly transformed the Last Continent into a lucrative chunk of real estate. Humans and their machinery poured in, domesticating the wild frontier spreading like lava over ice, probing every nook and corner. Inevitably they collided with the hidden giants. Only this time there was no place left for them to run... This time there would be war.
