Amy is a friendly and hard-working villager who does her best to care for her sickly grandparents, eager to grow up into a reliable adult.
On a day like any other, she wanders into a forest to gather ingredients for a soup. But just as she thinks she's finished, she encounters some trouble and barely leaves with her life.
And yet, despite the danger, she finds herself mysteriously drawn back to the forest. To a giant.
Only time will tell if this curiosity will be the end of her.

Boy Trouble GT
Two roommates. One friendship. A world of difference. Kye is a giant, but he's never felt larger than life. Shy, awkward, and hiding behind oversized hoodies, he's perfectly content fading into the background-except when a bottle of alcohol is in his hands. His quiet kindness is often overshadowed by his bad habits, and though he pretends not to care, there's one person whose opinion means everything to him. Mason, on the other hand, is human-and the complete opposite of Kye. Popular, confident, and full of energy, he thrives in the spotlight, surrounded by friends and teammates who adore him. But no matter how many people fill the room, he always seems to drift back to Kye, the so-called weirdo that others overlook. They've been best friends for years. Nothing more. Nothing less. Until one night, Kye gets too drunk, and suddenly, everything is too much, too fast, too real. Now, the boundaries between them are blurring, emotions rising to the surface that neither of them were prepared for. As Kye wrestles with the fear of ruining the only thing keeping him afloat, and Mason starts questioning why he keeps gravitating back to his giant of a best friend, the tension between them grows. Will Kye finally get the man he's been secretly in love with for years? Will Mason realize that the connection between them runs deeper than just friendship? Or is this just one giant emotional wreck waiting to happen? Read now to follow their journey-where size isn't the only difference between them, but love just might be the thing that bridges the gap.Complete

The Sugar Thief (G/T) (Completed)
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!)Complete
