@kondo I’m enough of a nature nerd to know: in my neighborhood, a bird would get her during the day. A bluejay, crow, or hawk. At night, a raccoon, or a cat.
Remember, indoor tinies have way longer lifespans. If you’re afraid of the outdoors, so is she. Don’t let her leave! A platform for them to watch the outdoors from a window is a much safer alternative.

“Just make the portfolio grow enough, then I’ll reverse the shrinking, and let you go.”
“How much, Master?”
“Until I’m satisfied.”
“But, remember econ 101- the consumer is never satisfied, that’s how demand-”
“Until I’m satisfied, pet. Now get back to work. And no more lectures.”
“You wanted my expertise!”
“Use it, don’t talk about it.”
“…okay. I’m sorry, I forgot my place again.”
“Let me repeat, more at a pet’s level: line go up, good, pet go free.”
“…yes, Master.”
I don’t think that ethically, it’s cheating.
In a practical sense though, I feel like it could be corrosive to the relationship, if you’re not careful about it. This is one of the many reasons I don’t roleplay. If there is time I could be spending with my monogamous husband, I’d rather be spending it with him than in a RP session with someone. RP can be a huge time suck compared to other ways of engaging like forums, browsing SizeTwitter, stories, and even Discord.
If there was something keeping my husband and I apart, like if we worked opposite hours or lived far away from each other. The practical problems of the time suck would go away, and RP might cause way fewer problems for a monogamous relationship.
@olo Ooph, I’m so sorry. It’s so shitty to be stuck like that. I hope you find a better long-term fit soon!
@Olo
Oh my god. She would never get used to it.
@mrgoblinging7 sleeping would be uncomfortable! Plus he can take the jar wherever he wants, and I have no privacy at all.
@Olo Thanks for writing such a detailed report. I regret missing so many things you mentioned! The last one was just an hour drive from my place, this was a plane ride. Someday…!
@kisupure Oh my goodness, this is wonderful so far. The sweetness, the descriptions, the details, I’m invested!
(Enjoying the pre-2000’s Brooklyn setting, too! My personal nostalgia is a sucker for that.)
@TakoAlice8 I like this too! I wrote a story along these lines about two fairies, one of whom is kidnapped by a hunter, the other who takes her revenge.
I find it hard to imagine a happy end for a tiny without superpowers, or the shrink being temporary. But I do enjoy stories like that!
Here’s the fairy story. It’s a bit long.
@mrgoblinging7 I knew my curiosity would be my undoing… I thought I was reading the INGREDIENT list, not the SPELL ITSELF… 
I love the depth of their thoughts that you’re giving us. I love the intense observation skill that she has. I’ve always considered the physical details that a shrunken person would notice about a giant, but I hadn’t really put it together before that being shrunk would also result in reading micro-expressions, and therefore emotions, more capably. I look forward to reading more of this slow burn.
@Olo crap that’s right they show him eating living things… If would totally fit in the world 
@bigcuddlygiant This is so sweet, a little moment I’d love to get lost in. (And the giant is really handsome!) You bring so much to the table each time!
@miss-lillipants
(I love this so much. I absolutely adored the mild offense she had for the term “crush”. That made me laugh out loud.
The rest is so sweet and realistic, too! Not a trash fire at all!)
So I’ve been pretty deep into Baldur’s Gate 3 lately. And Gale, the NPC wizard companion, who my player character is dating, would make a plausible giant or shrinker.
If you read between the lines of his storyline, he seems like a D/s sub, but, I think he has it in him to be a switch. And he can tap into crazy amounts of magic, enough to cast a stronger Enlarge / Reduce spell.
I made him cast Enlarge on himself to get past these jumps that he kept on failing, and it gave me Feelings I should have expected. If there were enough spell slots he would always run around like that.
And to anyone who knows the game: I also tried to romance Astarion, the sexy vampire, but it failed, because he only bonds with you if you do kinda chaotic sadistic actions, but my player character acts nobly in this game.
