I'm going to start at the end here, because, first and foremost, I have to commend you on how you portrayed the sub/domme relationship here.

These relationships aren't built on anger, hate, or disgust, things that have driven both Amber and Rebecca throughout most of their time together despite them clearly having feelings for each other. They're built on love and trust. A sub gives themselves to a domme not just because they're powerful and commanding, but because they know their domme isn't going to abuse that power over them. That devotion is based on admiration and a need to serve someone you love, not fear and forced slavery.

When Rebecca goes full sub and calls herself dirt and nothing beneath Amber's feet, she's saying that because of how highly she holds Amber, not how lowly she holds herself. It's an expression of love rather than self-loathing.

And Amber, in her own way, is no less vulnerable than Rebecca here! This is well conveyed throughout the scene, with little touches like Amber's demand for Rebecca to "Say it," yet her tone firm yet edged with fragility, as if she might unravel if denied, as you so eloquently put it. This wasn't really a demand at all. It was a question. Amber was laying herself bare before Rebecca in a way that she never could before the events of this chapter, and she had to know how Rebecca truly felt in that moment.

There's no doubt in my mind that, if Rebecca had refused to say it, Amber wouldn't have taken what she wanted like before. She would have been devastated, and who knows how she would have moved forward with Rebecca afterward, but she never would have forced herself on Rebecca sexually again. This was one of those proverbial "rubber meets the road" moments, presented with an awe-inspiring sense of raw honesty, and it was beautiful.

Everything Amber did beyond this point was perfect too! When she "confirmed" what Rebecca was saying about being dirt and whatnot, she chose simpler, less insulting language, just saying that Rebecca was nothing compared to her and that she was a goddess to Rebecca. And the joy she felt during these moments was so sweet and heart-melting, especially after seeing how Amber really viewed herself all this time (more on that in a bit)! Every time Rebecca showed some form of submission, it filled Amber's heart with love, not smugness or arrogance.

I also love how the word "adoration" was used several times to describe how Amber was looking at Rebecca, and how she held Rebecca like she was "the most precious treasure in existence. This is somebody that knows exactly what Rebecca has given her and values it immensely, not taking it for granted at all. This was a loving dominance, something she was doing for the both of them rather than just for herself.

And I loved it when Amber stopped Rebecca just before the tiny could work her way inside Amber's sex, picking up a Rebecca frantic and wriggling with desire, "her voice light with laughter" as she watched how much Rebecca wanted her with "amusement and adoration" (there's that word again!). Fuck! That was a hell of a little power play, gentle and necessary though it was. The callback to the string from when Trevor got lost inside Amber was so cool, too!

Having Amber place Rebecca on her chest and covering the tiny protectively with her hand as they both fell asleep was such an endearing, heart-warming way to end the chapter, too. It shows that, while the two of them say that Rebecca is nothing compared to Amber, Amber values her little worshipper more than anything else in the world. That's what the sub/domme dynamic is all about!

And, of course, there's the whole new meaning to "I'm the slave, you're the master." This used to be something Rebecca dreaded, absolutely hated! For Amber, making Rebecca say this was a vicious way of putting Rebecca in "her place," with Amber taking smug pleasure in forcing Rebecca to express Amber's superiority to her. But here, it was liberating phrase for both of them! Rebecca wasn't put in her place; she found her place and accepted it with a full heart. And Amber didn't feel that smugness in that moment; she wasn't vicious about it at all. Instead, this was a new sensation altogether for Amber, something she had never experienced before. It wasn't about power: It was about devotion. And that made all the difference.

So now we're left with a Rebecca that is fully devoted to Amber, to the point of putting the teen well above herself, and an Amber who is thankful, appreciative, and bursting with happiness at this incredible gift Rebecca has given her. Seeing this expressed here, in such a raw, powerful form, was incredible, but I'm really interested to see how this plays out in their daily lives. If I had to guess, I'd say their interactions with each other won't appear too differently from the outside, but, to the two of them, the meaning behind their squabbles and "punishments" will be completely different. Oh, and I don't think Rebecca is going to get anywhere near as vicious toward Amber as she was before, for a lot of reasons.

So yeah, fucking phenomenal job showing us what a real sub/domme dynamic looks like in its purest form!

Jumping all the way back to the start, I like how the reason for Rebecca's resistance was finally verbalized. She was trying to fight those feeling deep inside her, wanting to hate Amber so bad but just not being able to do it. And holy fuck was that last insult she threw at Amber cruel. I was glad to see her realize that and apologize once she saw how badly she had actually hurt Amber. I've been saying this whole time that if she knew how profoundly her words were affecting Amber, and I felt vindicated here! Any doubt that Rebecca truly cares for Amber evaporated here, even if Rebecca still couldn't admit it quite yet.

It was also great to see Amber feeling real regret for taking out her frustrations on Rebecca in the shower. Yeah, it sounds like Rebecca was hard on her after practice too, but it was really nice to, for the first time, see Amber feel bad about punishing Rebecca after the fact. That, in and of itself, was a huge change for her.

The (kind of) three-way sex scene was incredibly hot! There's just something about a big forcing two tinies to fuck, especially when there's actually some history there between said tinies (as there was between Trevor and Rebecca), that's just enthralling. And that moment when Trevor realized that Rebecca was completely focused on Amber and vice versa when it was his dick inside her? Fucking brilliant!

Oh, and I loved the flick, too! I'm all about that casual stuff, especially when Amber was too entranced to even really think about what she was doing (not that she would be afraid to do that anyway). There was no ill intent or annoyance there. Amber just wanted Rebecca, and it seemed as though Amber's hand moved on its own to make that happen. To me, that added a deeper, more primal layer to the whole scene!

I also love the jealousy that Amber showed when she thought Trevor and Rebecca were trying to fuck. It was sweet, in it's own way, and obviously there was a level of irony there since Amber accidentally put them in that position in the first place while she was sleeping. But with Amber's mood, it makes perfect sense that she'd just assume the worst.

Trevor still trying to reason with Amber is pretty nice, too. They don't seem to get along too well on the surface, but I feel like there's some kind of respect there, something earned over time. Well, respect may be a strong word, but it seems to me that there's this odd bond between them. Amber sounds more like a typical teen around him than someone trying to dominate him, even despite calling him a worm from time to time. I don't know, this is hard to explain, but I just feel like something's there, you know?

I found Rebecca's denials in the next segment at least as funny as Trevor found them. Yeah, there might be something to the whole pheromones thing, but there's clearly so much more going on here than just that. You've done a masterful job of showing how much these two women have in common for some time now, and you've done so in such a nuanced way. So Rebecca comes off like a lovesick idiot in denial here, which is perfect! It complimented that apology I mentioned before so well, too. Oh, and Amber getting jealous at Trevor "touching" Rebecca again when he was comforting her was cute!

I'm curious if the next chapter will show us where Trevor and Donnica ran off to. That was an interesting little tidbit to note. Or maybe Amber and Donnica just needed the house to themselves for what came next ...

I started this review praising you for how well you wrote that sub/domme scene, so let me end it by praising you at least as much for how you portrayed Amber's abuse here.

First off, I had no idea that this was coming, so it blindsided me completely! I even have a character in my own story who kind of acts this way (but way worse than Amber) who has some similarities in her background, and I still didn't even suspect this. I'm both disheartened and so glad that Rebecca went through something similar so that she could recognize the signs, if that makes sense. It's terrible that this happened to her too, of course (and I wonder if that experience will come up again at some point), but at least she can use that pain to help Amber and show her how to not lose herself in the pain.

But this was fucking heartbreaking! That mantra Amber kept saying, "Nobody likes me. Nobody wants me. I just need to shut up and move on," sounds like something that was told to her. That wasn't ever stated, so maybe it's just a culmination of Amber's feelings, but the implication here is that the physical and sexual abuse weren't enough; somebody had to throw in some mental abuse for good measure. That's so fucked up. Those monsters took so much from her, and it sounds like they wanted to make sure they fucked her up as much as possible. My eyes are watering a little bit just thinking about that.

A sad aspect of this that isn't mentioned is that Donnica didn't notice any of this. I'm not even saying that to blame her. My mind goes back to Amber saying that things were rough when she was young, and I can't help but picture Donnica working so hard to pull Amber and her out of there, to give her kid everything that she deserves, but missing that deeper connection with Amber in order to get there. She was busting her ass and failing to make a real connection with these guys (If I remember right, isn't that why she decided to date Trevor: to try dating a tiny to see if it was any different than those empty relationships from before?), and she never even considered that those men would damage her daughter so deeply. She still doesn't know. I think this speaks more to the disconnect between Donnica and Amber than anything else we've seen so far (or will see, in all likelihood).

But that's pure speculation on my part, so I could be wrong on all of that. I just wanted to share it because it popped in my head while reading this.

But man, when Amber finally breaks out of her trance and "tells" Rebecca that she hates her, my heart ached even more. I love that it was noted that this was a question stated as a fact. Amber wanted so badly for Rebecca to tell her that she was wrong, and the way Amber finally let it all out after Rebecca did that was so touching.

It was a small thing, but I noticed that Rebecca thought of Amber as a child multiple times in this segment. Maybe it was unintentional, but I can't help but think this was one last effort to deny those feelings for Amber. She couldn't hate Amber anymore, so emphasize the age difference (how old is Rebecca again?). 

And the way Rebecca made Amber talk to her after it became clear that it was too much for Amber to talk to anybody else was such an awesome moment. You know, when it was noted that Amber and Rebecca talked for hours about her abuse, it was also stated that Rebecca "became the giant," with Amber being the vulnerable one for once. That's an incredible way to phrase that, and as much as I loved Rebecca before, I feel even more strongly about her now. Also, Rebecca was kind of "the giant" for most of this segment, with her fighting to cut through Amber's defenses, getting her to admit that she had been abused, and, again, making Amber talk to her about it. I'm a big fan of tinies stepping into big roles when the timing is right, and that's exactly what happened here!

Lastly, dipping back into that final segment real quick, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated you taking a second to differentiate between Amber drunkenly getting Rebecca off and the powerful moment they shared with Rebecca inside Amber's mouth here. These two scenes read differently anyway, but to have Rebecca note that was important, I think. Smut isn't always just smut. Sometimes it can reach a different level with the right build behind it, and this is a perfect example of that.

Damn! This chapter was fucking amazing and well worth its length! I don't think any of us can reasonable expect every chapter to hit these emotional highs (so don't worry about that), but I'm really excited to see what you've got for us next!

This chapter is fantastic, by far one of the best. The development of Amber, first of all, is incredibly good; you start with the cliché of the teenage girl and end up with a complex woman with many secrets.
Then, the parallel between Amber and Rebecca is perfect; it creates such a difficult situation for Rebecca, where she can either destroy Amber with the weaknesses she knows so well or help her get better. I love the fact that she uses both approaches but, in the end, always tries to help Amber improve.
The trauma part of this chapter is really powerful; I really love reading it. It's so true, and I feel connected to it, even if it's far less severe than what you describe in this chapter.
And to conclude, the idea of the tiny people becoming more and more attracted to the giantess is incredible. Like an invisible force whos even stronger that their own will.
