Willow is a loyal gatherer for her local village of wildfolk, a race of four inch tall people living in the forest away from the monstrous "giants" who seek nothing beyond the torment and death of her kind. Her life is simple; wake up, go out, find supplies, and hope to live past thirty.
But when a bad storm washes up a wounded and alone Willow at Christian's doorstep, both of them find their lives turned upside down.
Christian is a giant, but not like the ones from the stories. Instead of being big, brutish, and violent, he's kind, clever, and gentle...and far from invulnerable, relying on his carefully managed network of lists and schedules to survive day to day life.
With Willow so far from the home that desperately needs her help, and Christian's world being thrown into chaos by her mere presence, will the two be able to learn to help (and be helped by) one another and become better people? Or will they split apart and fall back into their old ways?

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
Tiny Neko (G/t)
Jessica is a Neko who is also tiny. She lives in a pet shop, depressed and sad. James Ember is a giant who ends up taking her in. Jessica is shy at first, and the two slowly build up a bond. Then Jessica had a slight meltdown, and they two separate. But then when an old villain shows up to take her, James ends up taking her back. But secretly they both want that. The two have their quirks and their struggles as the two grow an even stronger bond. Not only does James take in Jessica, he takes in two other nekos. As well as a human. He'll find that life gets more eventful with the four, and his love for borrowers grows, but always remember that it all started with one tiny neko. His best friend becomes the fifteen year old Jessica, despite being in his twenties/really-really early thirties (I never really had a set age for him and you'll notice the same with Jessica). This shows that when it comes to a borrower and giant's bond, age doesn't matter. Because Jame, a giant, becomes best friends with Jessica, a tiny NekoComplete
Small People
Title: Small People Description: Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him. Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave. As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge. Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.
Amy & Penny
The friendship and lives between two roommates are put to the test when one of them is shrunk down to only three inches tall. This story is a bit all over the place, but I thought I'd post it anyway. The internet needs more gentle giantesses. 😊
