First, very happy to see you writing again and with the same consistency. I see some tropes that where present in your last story, but here you added extra layers – Alice and Jordan were even more than friends, they were a true family - they knew and understood all about each other. Here there is only the desire for such unity, but as much as I think Angie wants to be closer to Ben, she doesn’t know and doesn’t completely understands his reality. She can go to Tiny Treatments to relax in preparation for debates, he has to work there. Angie gets to be gigantic and Ben… Ben gets to be her foot toy.

As much as I feel for her situation, her problems don’t even start to compare to Benjamin problems. Ben worried so much about a world where Angie was a giantess, but she already was for him before the shrink: she is rich, smart, beautiful and has him in the palm of her hand (I mean it figuratively, since it’s obvious he has a crush on her) and he is so tiny in her selfcentered world she doesn’t even realize to have him there! (in the palm of her hand I mean). Jokes aside, in Benjamin’s case it’s the oppsite – Angie Phillips is this big existence in his life he unconciouslly love and that has now become the manifestation of this unconscious. To be more clear: Angelica Phillips is now, in reality, what she always looked like for Benjamin. I think some other user commented and I agree it wouldn’t be strange for Ben to start having daydreams when they meet again.

But nothing is so cut-clear when love is into play. Benjamin might be a tiny she doesn’t realize to have in the palm of her hand… but he is there, in her selfcentered world, a flick of love, a flame of desire and genuine worry for the other. So much so, once Angie realizes Ben is there, she might close her fingers around him to never let him go. Why wouldn’t she? His family is poor, it’s less a mouth to feed… For Benjamin managed to be her equal in brains even while living a life of deprivations, but not anymore since he will be with her! Carter, that brilliant and strong Benjamin Carter is now so fragile, vulnerable, so in need of her guidance (as he always needed but never would admit or let her!). Besides, Angie seemed to enjoy his foot tickling and massage quite a bit… why wouldn’t she think that way: ‘He will massage and tickle me and we will always do debates inside a blue cottage by the lake… I wouldn’t mind working for my dad if it was like that at the end of the day... And when he is wrong I can always shut him with a toe! What? I'm sure he fantasized about it as much as I did!’

A truly pure love and desire intertwined with a entlitled and naive upbringing, lots of sexual tension and inexperience. I said it during Stuck in the Park and I say it again here: your stories use size in ways that can mean more than one thing for the characters and the world – in this case, two polar opposities who, for different reasons, end up in the same messy place – in this case, a rich girl who is pressured to be selfcentered and can’t be honest before a poor boy who is pressured to be selfless in helping his family and has to put up a front. Masterful writing, 10 out of 10 character and world construction and presentation.

Now, about how everything could unfold, many possibilities, but the ones I like the most is this: Angie, upon finding out who her favorite tiny is, gets furious at first, snatching him away in an impulsive action to
show who the “real” Angelica really is.

Just my take on the characters so far, sprinkled with lots of theories.

As always, thank you for sharing your work with us! If I was loaded like Angie I swear I would even be willing to try publishing some of the stories from this site!

Good to see you again Mr-in-a-Suit!

It's been quite some time since I put out Stuck in the Park, I had been working on this new story for a while now and didn't want to start putting out chapters until I had a bunch of them ready to go. And you're right, there's a lot of similar tropes and events present between the two stories, it's pretty obvious what kind of stuff I like (regular girl spilling her secrets to tiny that she personally knows in some way, tiny being helpless and having to go along with current event to keep up the charade) when it comes to story events.

It's interesting when people theorize how Angie might react or what she'll do. It's clear to everyone that she'll be upset but if she'll be furious or forgiving or both, well, that's the question. Of course, if this were a story from most authors on the site, she would stomp him into the floor, but wholesome's usually the name of the game in mine haha.

 Glad you're enjoying the second story as well this time around and it's always nice to see more theories and thoughts. :)

I love how amazed Ben is by Angie's legitimate laugh. It's the sweetest fucking thing!

I also enjoy his little slip-ups. The Morgan one wasn't too bad, as Angie had already mentioned her, but that "debate team will do that to you" probably should have gotten him caught. Thankfully Angie isn't even entertaining the possibility of it being him behind that mask.

I'm loving their banter, though. The flow of their conversation has been great throughout this session. Ben getting to know Angie has been so fulfilling to read, even if I'm still worried about what happens when she finds out it's him she's been spilling her guts to. She's so comfortable with tiny, unidentifiable him, and it's awesome to see her so unrestricted, especially given what her life is generally like. And yeah, the anonymity plays a role in that, but I think Ben being so eager to learn more, not judging her in the least, is what's motivating her to be so open with him. Despite their rivalry, he's enjoying getting to know her, and he wants to be on better terms with her overall.

I'm curios to see how all his "coaching" in that regard turns out, assuming she actually tries to follow through on it.

The watercolor painting and the cottage was especially touching. That's something she's never told anyone this before. Ben is the only one that knows this part of her. It was pretty cool how supportive he was about it, too, making sure to fix it when she thought he was judging her. Of course, if full-sized Ben slips up and says something about it, he's pretty fucked at that point. That would be a dead giveaway! Hmm, I wonder ...

That part where he got stuck between her toes was great! It really sold Angie's size and the power she had over him well, yet it also conveyed her innocence despite having that power. She laughed at how silly it was, but she was concerned about him, too. She even apologized for laughing, wanting to make sure she didn't hurt his feelings. What a sweetheart!

Speaking of selling Angie's size here, holy shit did you nail that in the second segment. Between her leaning in like a titan of Greek mythology just to tell him he did a great job to how mesmerized he was by her standing up to noting how he could somehow still  see her smile from so far away, Angie just felt impossibly big there. The vibrations of her steps as she left were a nice touch, too.

But it was the casualness of it that made those moments special. Like I said, she was trying to let him know that she thought he was great when she leaned in. She was just getting up to leave when he was blown away by how much bigger she seemed to get in a split second. And walking out, shaking his world from across the room, she just turns around and gives him a normal "see you next week." That's effortlessly powerful. Effortlessly big. Effortlessly perspective shifting.

And Ben knows that last one is true, too. He's already stressing about how he's going to act around her when they're the same size again. He wants her to try to befriend him, but he's also scared he's going to freak out and look at her like a literal goddess or something at the same time. Yeah, that next day at school should be pretty fun to read!

Ben's back and forth over whether he should tell Angie that she could book him again was interesting. He's afraid of being discovered and maybe even feels a little guilty that she's telling him so much personal stuff, but he knows that it'll raise suspicion and possibly give him away if he tries to talk her out of it. So he has no choice but to have another session with her. Man, he probably just should have sucked so she wouldn't have wanted him again (I said jokingly)!

I can understand Angie's reluctance at wanting to fix things between herself and Ben. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she just feels like things have been this way for so long that there's really no going back at this point. I feel like this sort of ties into her comment about playing a role all the time. She's Angie, the ice queen of the debate team and Ben's mortal enemy, coming soon to Harvard and Yale. She doesn't want any of that, though. She just feels like she has no agency over any of it, so she's afraid to even try. I'm glad Ben kept pushing her to try anyway, and I hope she actually does.

So with the first session finished, I can now officially say that it did not disappoint after all the buildup. This was awesome! Not just for the giantess stuff, but seeing Ben learn so much about Angie and seeing his view of her change right before our eyes. Not to mention that we got to see how great Angie actually is. I saw small signs that I might like her early on, but damn! I love this girl! I really want her to break out of this cycle and pursue what she really wants out of life. And I'm hoping maybe Ben can help her out wit that ... eventually. I have a feeling that's a long road to go down before we get to that point!

Glad to hear you've been enjoying the entire appointment scenario between them and that it at least delivered!

I have to admit I'm very fond of Angie too. I usually gravitate towards the typical nice/supportive girl (which is why I also have such a soft spot for Morgan, she'll be around more soon!), but I did try really hard to make Angie as likeable and relatable as possible, and come up with a proper 'mean girl with a heart of gold'.

It'll take quite some time before the next fated appointment and there's more to get into before that, so I hope it'll stay interesting enough. :)

This is a great story, and your character work is amazing. The interaction between angie and ben in this chapter is fantastic and shows a lot of depth. Cant wait for more.  This story has a ton of great potential, I imagine he’ll be dealing with a myriad of different clients with different needs while juggling dealing with angie, and debate outside of work. Would really love to see the opposite side of this, and see a very experienced client request him. See how he deals with someone who has no problem ordering shrinkies around at their feet. Keep up the great work

Author's Response:

Thank you so much!

It would become a very, very long story if Ben had to deal with a large amount of clients, but there will be a couple of other people besides Angie for him to deal with. :) Thanks for leaving a review and I hope you're enjoying the story!
