I loved how much of a cruel tease Faen was (though, its hard to deny Lia didn't deserve it a bit), no intention of hurting Lia but her not telling her she'd be safe whilst eating really made it work for me.

Mechanically she's also a really perfect giantess, in most settings you never really get this customisable, the way she could change the sensation and tone for Lia was really sensual.

Again, really lovely pair those two make - hopefully they'll be seen again! 

Love the dynamic between these two with Willow slowly becoming at ease despite knowing she really shouldn't.

It was adorable to reunite with Jess and Drew again, has it really been that many years since Mixing?

Can't wait for more Terry!

Author's Response:

Thank you! I had a lot of fun returning to these two. It's been nearly two years irl since I started Mixing Sizes and about 18 or so years in universe since Mixing's epilogue.

I worry Ryan might regret not truly explaining how cruel his mother is to his fellow tinies in the long run...!

Tell those doctors ASAP about those reds flags, get her on file for caution haha.

Again loving how natural and grounded the world and characters are here, as always looking forward to more.

Author's Response:

Honestly, I totally agree. If I were in his place, I'd be telling anyone with a set of ears about the things that Natalie had said. Too much of a risk being that small and in her care. But that probably wouldn't be quite so interesting :D

I'm glad that you're enjoying the story thus far. Thanks so much for reading!!

Just caught up with this story and wanted to say I love it!

Aster's nature is just very cute and charming as she gets herself into more trouble.

Author's Response:

Thank you! Aster is definitely a cheeky Borrower!

First time commenter but this really drove me to finally join and just say how much I've adored this story.

Your expert handle on the size difference experience is just perfect, Lily feeling the heartbeat and micro details of Deb's face.

And Deborah! what a character you've crafted this on the surface average woman with her normal home and family and just utterly makes her into this creature of pure sexy gleeful power, not even sure she see's herself as mean either just as a happy owner to her new little doll who she needs to train like any pet.

The build up was fantastic to the 4", I sure hope this is not nearing the end as that just felt like the first act Lily's got her whole new life ahead of her at Deborah's whims after all - I love those little flash forward thoughts she has to seeing herself decades later its the sort of questions not go into in size fiction but it really added to her hopelessness, like what happens in 30 years? or she gets injured? would Deb simply put down her adorable pet with a stomp? its those types questions rattling through her head that makes it so engaging.

I wonder if she might end up possibly in contrast to Tanya's stoic toy, instead of the emotionless robot Lily might eventually find herself enjoying her owner (in the long run of course!) but Deb will first have to lay down the law first, and well, poor little Lily I imagine hasn't quite fully shrunk yet, her perspective when she reaches her final height of likely 2" will be spectacular, I doubt her family would even recognise her then just a simple bug to show off to Linda seeing her adjust to her new life as property.

Again, all the best and keep up the good work! Lily is such a lucky little lady.

I'm curious to see where Paul's strategy takes him down this path, because it feels like his last real throw of the dice to have any meaningful chance at returning to his old life or some semblance of the relationship with Mary.

The first mention of a way out is unsurprising but I'm surprised how enthusiastic he's attempting to be, I feel like if he really wanted Mary to have a moment of realisation would likely be him intentionally withdrawing.

Being a 'willing' pet, this is just my internal thoughts as I've been reading through but if he decided instead to do as he's told but is not passionate or enthusiastic about any of it, just on autopilot would make it in the longterm incredibly awkward for his owners would be bet at his best hope - essentially allowing Paul to rob all the fun out of the arrangement from Pam in the process.

Like, maybe if he was a natural shrinkie he could've eventually embraced this life - its the fact he knows there is a way out and him trying to give a loving gift to the woman he loved and then having his trust violated, just have him outright say 'yeah, I cannot trust you ever again' but still playing the pet role I feel could cause the moment for Mary to buckle and causing tension with Pam who is desperate to try and get that spark back from Paul to make this fun again.

Essentially an engineered collapse that pits all three against each other.

Maybe Mary and Paul could somehow come to an understanding if he ends up perma stuck but its not going to work with Pam alongside, well at least with her at present size.

Again what I've enjoyed about this story is I really do struggle to see what kind of ending its leading too, it really could go either way and that tension has really made this an engaging read for me, especially as someone who loves trying to 'work out' the human/pet dynamic.

Apologises for my rambling thoughts, looking forward to see were you take this adventure.

Author's Response:

I'm not sure if you think Paul thinks he can be restored to his original size. At this point Paul does not know that is possible.

I've considered Paul trying to suck the fun out of it for Pam, but she would certainly escalate her humiliation of Paul and would probably resort to painful exploits as well (this may happen).

If Mary decides to restore Paul, she has her work cut out for her if she wants to keep a loving relationship with him, Paul will certainly feel betrayed (if I go that route, I have my work cut out for me as well :)  )

At this point, Paul considered his options, and, trying to make the best of things felt like his best shot for now, but (at this time) he knows he can't live that way forever, he is hoping to slowly try to change things or find another solution.

Your thoughts are no more rambling than my own :)

Thanks for the input.

Really enjoying how the three leads are slowly growing more comfortable with each other, despite the cultural shift it feels earnt between them, especially given the harrowing trauma you've used to bind them all.

Eloise being the timid giant is never not an endearing trait in these but I can imagine her becoming quite a beast when she needs to be in future, can't wait to see her earn that metal like her smaller counterparts.

I have to bring up the Vore given this is titled decompression, am I to suspect we'll see some.. compression? shrinking magic has been dropped in slightly throughout already, and well I can imagine that would be a great threat to a giant, sure shrinking may not be a permanent transformation, but it just needs to last long enough for them to be digested - that's my bet on Stephanie's fate giving her a taste of her own medicine, Mary and Clara being able to dish out that as punishment to cruel giants would be quite a fitting ability!

Also.. was that alien movie.. Transformers One? haha! 

Really enjoying this story for the worldbuilding, smut and the well rounded characters as usual, hyped to see more of this world explored and no doubt devoured.

Author's Response:

Thanks Super! :D

I'm glad I took my time with the trio. In the past I fear I would have rushed into establishing them, so I'm glad to hear you think their bond is earned. 

Eloise is adorable, 100% But you're right in your prediction. Transmutation can be a terrifying thing in capable hands. And Eloise has very capable hands >:)

Like I said to the guy before you, I won't confirm nor deny. But you're very much on the right track haha. Steph is in for a bad time. 

Truthfully Clara's novel is just me being self-indulgent and referencing another story of mine (that doesn't exist yet and probably wont for another 10 years lmao). I can see the comparison though!

I'm glad you enjoyed! It might be a little while until next chapter, but I hope it's worth the wait. <3

Oh that was electric!

I love I can't quite tell were the lines are blurring between Beth and Ulysses, its really pulling out a far more sexy cruel streak in the woman than I was expecting and am totally here for it.

The idea of her just keeping him with Samuel totally oblivious is really hot, and with a tiny who no doubt wouldn't complain about such an arrangement!

Author's Response:

So glad that you're enjoying! I think Beth's cruelty is more of a show than anything else. Consent is incredibly important to her, but knowing what gets Ulysses going, sometimes she has to make some playful threats to keep things exciting.

Thanks so much for reading!!

I should've known this one was yours...!

Petal is adorable, the size-play mechanics mixed with detachable body parts is such a fun combination that's rarely played around with, you managed to do it without it becoming unappealing which I imagine was a hard line to thread through but you pulled it off spectacularly.

Now write the rest of the century the two had together ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the review!  I'm glad to see you enjoyed the story.

Yeah, detachable body parts is a huge part of body horror, so using it in a sweet but spicy way was a bit of experimentation and a lot of prayer, but I'm glad it landed well enough for my intended audience.

No dice I'm afraid on the rest of the century, but I will be working on something for Valentines Exchange, so maybe I'll have something sweet-cute to add here within the next month!
