Chapter 8 of "Minuscule" will be 13/14 pages long! Don't expect it to be posted before Christmas, I think it will be done early/mid January! I hope you all have a great Christmas and I wish you all the best for 2026 !

This AU will obviously resume in 2026, I'm having a lot of fun doing it and seeing your enthusiasm for it really spur me on! So thank you and I hope you'll love what's to come!

still thinking about the borrowers other london au. i do have a plot idea but i dont want to spoil it in case i end up writing the fic so for now you just get worldbuilding

mostly I've been thinking about how they get food. unfortunately theyre not going to be eating eels, given their size and location, but i think snails would be a good equivalent! i feel like people would keep snails like cattle, and use the empty shells as storage. they might also raise and eat insects, and occasionally hunt a rat/other rodents. that would be pretty dangerous though, so I imagine it's a pretty rare occurence and mainly happens when one tries to encroach on the city.

in terms of plants, I think mostly they eat mushrooms (not technically a plant but yk) and weeds like dandelions and bittercress, but it'd be difficult bc I don't think any other londoner wants to go actually outside bc there are Predators out there, so I think mostly they rely on borrowing to get nonmeats, including fruits/vegetables/salt/bread.

Most of their meals are in the form of soup, but i do think they would make things like jerky esp if they bring down a whole rat

borrowers au: Given that Jaune has amount of aura as cannon.

Does he hit harder due to the same force is being applied to a smaller area?

It’s really the only reason he’s able to be a formidable opponent once he gets trained up. He’s basically employing Ant-Man tactics

Just realized I never posted this

So here’s my Borrower Jaune, as a reference for my own drawing purposes lol

I think in this borrowers au, Pyrrha is 95% more feral to defend Jaune. He’s a tiny guy, so it’s time to remind people that you fuck with team JNPR you fuck with Pyrrha, and she’s champion. Those rules that are set up aren’t to make sure people aren’t killed they’re set up so Pyrrha doesn’t kill you.

Jaune argues that it isn’t necessary (it is) he can defend himself (he can’t) but Pyrrha insists

She is the Invincible Girl, and this is her partner. If they want to mess with him, if they want to fight HIM, then they better understand that they’re really fighting her

Follow up on the barrower Cinder question. If she were a barrower would her maiden powers be barrower sized or human sized?

Neither. Both.

The powers aren’t scaled to the person, a Faunus Maiden doesn’t have different powers than a human. A Borrower Maiden would have the same abilities as any other Maiden
