On Borrowed Paths on AO3 & Tumblr

And Others in the [Non-Sequential] Series

An Illustrated Work Featuring art from @feraljayce , @letoilepourpre, @territorial-utopia, @justanumber , @fenneggs-n-toast & others!

This is a dark fantasy universe in which the princesses are trying to survive the perils of humanity at only a few inches' height. When outrunning the Echo leaves them forced to find shelter, they may have to adapt to a benefactor’s cabin to wait out the storm. Yet with curious phantoms and towering ravens, this may be easier said than done… And oh, did I mention that this tale is rather gay?

Despite being a crossover with The Borrowers, all you need to know is that the Princesses are tiny little guys! No prior knowledge needed (though I welcome any questions!)

Tws for those who need em under the cut!

GTober Day 8 (Nightmare / Shade)

Woooo SIX in one, across the three prompt lists I’m doing AND they’re all from the same days as each other??? Tbh I’m here for it. It certainly won’t happen again, and I already almost didn’t finish this one. Lighting really saved it.

For those wondering what’s going on:

Witch & Damsel are teenage lovers within the storyline of Borrowed Paths, but are met with the cruel reality that people harm others for the mere sake of it. Damsel is a Princess in a nearby kingdom who discovers her tiny Fae girlfriend entirely by chance, and the two of them bond over rebelling against the enforced safety of their worlds. However, when humanity is on the hunt for Fae, they unwittingly use Damsel as the key to wreak havoc. And while all is by mere chance, Witch can’t help but feel betrayed; that her lover was the key to the downfall of her world, and everyone in it.
