Summary
"Dad? Can you fix this?"
Ah, the eternal call of a life with kids. Cooper set down his mug to inspect the toy Murph handed him. Not a toy, as it turns out. "The heck did you do to my lander?"
"It wasn't me!" she insisted, her eyes wide.
"Let me guess," Tom interjected through a mouthful of breakfast. "It was your tiny person?"
"She keeps knocking stuff off my shelves."
"There's no such thing, dumbass."
"Hey," Cooper admonished. Murph glared at her brother across the table.
"I read about it in one of mom's books. She's called a Borrower."

A borrower's life is pretty simple. Stay in hiding, grab the necessary food, and keep your head down. Steve Randle might be a little hard-headed at times, but even he was smart enough to know that having a human see you is a terrible thing.

Summary
*Based off Me_le_Shark_Bean's Fairy DCA AU, especially The Gardener Comic/Story*
Borrowers and Fairies, little people from stories and myth. Many would think that the two people would get along and work side by side with each other since the world is so big and vast around them.
They would be wrong.
Magic less and wingless, Borrowers are seen as something below Fairies and Fairies are seen as dangerous things to the Borrowers lifestyle, letting Human Beans know that little people exist and many have to leave their homes when said Beans began to come their home for 'Fairies'.
One Borrower, who lives in an abandoned Camp Site, was preparing for winter after a great forest fire when she found a feverish and weak Sundrop Fairy who was babbling nonsense about getting to 'Nan's House'. Normally she wouldn't do anything but splash water on him and scare him off with her needle, but...In what could be considered madness, she took the weak fairy into her home and began to nurse him back to health.
She only hopes this won't come back to bite her.

On Borrowed Paths by SapphicSlayer
Fandoms: Slay the Princess (Visual Novel), The Borrowers Series - Mary Norton

Summary
Life has never been safe for a Borrower in a world governed by humans. Viewed as evil omens, any power-bearing “Fae” find themselves prey to black market circles where their fates are drawn to the highest bidder. And sometimes, the winners prefer to place them into the ring and hedge their bets even higher on a gladiatorial fight against something much, much worse.
As is the fate of a pair of escaped siblings, surviving in the woods by the skin of their teeth. But when evading their opponent proves too challenging, it may take deciding between trusting the owner of a nearby cabin or trying to outrun an enemy that can’t be killed.
But the tenants of that safe haven have one damning condition: they must reveal themselves to him first to be granted shelter. In order to make peace with the present, it may take unraveling the horrors of the past and the entwined destines between them all to save who still remains of all Borrowers, Cryptids, and Fae - and perhaps even the very forest itself.
When on Borrowed paths, some things cannot be returned.
[Non-Borrower folks: Think of it as “Inverse Tower.” No prior knowledge needed!]
