The little man in the walls
I’ve been inspired to write a Sanders Sides borrower au. Probably something that’s been done ten million times before but whatever. If you don’t know what borrowers are they’re tiny people that live in the walls and steal food and stuff.
Ugh, I started this months ago and just got around to finishing it I sure hope it was worth the wait ugh.
Buy a fanfic writer a coffee? (ko-fi)
Warnings: People being trapped, anxiety attacks.
Abstract: Thomas and Virgil grew up together. Virgil just didn’t know it.

I’m glad that Virgil is such an understanding human when it comes to borrowers!!! This is wonderful
Thank you! Yeah usually the human in borrower stories seems to want to keep the borrower and that makes for nice angst and all but I sometimes find it too upsetting. So Virgil tries a little empathy and also maybe thinks he’s dreaming at first haha. Also, if you caught a tiny humanoid creature and they started having a violent anxiety attack what would you do?
I agree!! I’m actually really glad someone did from a different perspective. Where the human does in fact have a bit of empathy for the borrower. It actually made me really happy that it was Virgil you chose to act like this. Those the other sides have their merits I feel that Virgil would be the one to truly act like this.
If I were to catch a tiny humanoid creature and saw they were having a panic attack I would try to help them I believe. I wouldn’t touch them though because one it is most definitely very frightening to see a regular human up close and if you were a borrower I don’t think you would want to be touched by them. There is also the fact that I myself am not really fond of touch especially when I’m panicking. I’ll mostly try to comfort them with soothing words while giving them a bit of space. I will probably end up leaving food out so that they can eat if they want. I believe this is how I would act and behave with a borrower. I couldn’t help but want to answer your question even if it was retorical.
Thank you for getting back to me!!! I do hope Pat and Virgil can meet again. @what-even-is-thiss
It was Thomas that was the borrower. Patton is one of Virgil’s brothers.
