Abernathy Chronicles, Part Six, The
- (excellent minor age changing ability story elements, female teen to young adult to older adult age appearance alterations, also adult rejuvenated and ARed glimpses)
Irving McMurren, 2008.
p60:
"She said that every once in a while she speaks Gaelic for no apparent reason and she was really sorry.
...I was still thinking about the proverb when I looked over at her. For a second her face was that of a young girl with freckles. When I looked again she was normal with her flashing green eyes, pale skin and award-winning smile.
Something about Megan was strange, very strange. I glanced at her quickly, and was sitting next to a mature lady in her forties with crows feet around the eyes and lines on her forehead.
Megan was aware of my glances and suggested that when we stop for lunch she would explain everything.
...We sat on the grass in the shade and ate the ham sandwiches and drank the Molson's. Megan began her tale:
My father died in a freak accident, ... and my mother died giving birth to me. I was raised by druids who were polytheists and I believe they used me in several of their experiments. I was the recipient of a series of transformation spells that gave me the ability to change the age of my body at will. I think you may have witnessed some changes back there in the car. Please do not be alarmed.
...I told Megan about my experiences with ghosts and the fact that I was going to write a book about them.
I kept glancing in her direction as we talked but I never saw any appearance changes.
...She was a really compatible companion and I started to look forward to the evening together. She must have read my mind because the hand-holding became almost commonplace. We were undoubtedly attracted to each other.
...I found a Comfort Inn and booked us a room.
I had a bottle of vodka along which I brought in and the two of us had some cocktails.
...That night we slept in our separate beds. About midnight I went over to her bed, probably intent on something nefarious. She was in her fourteen year old girl phase so I went back to...
p65:
Megan said that she felt a presence from down in the cellar. Her heart had speeded up. I looked over at her. She had aged drastically and was now a woman in her forties. Still attractive, but not as nice as her usual self.
...The cellar was very dark so I went back and retrieved my flashlight from the car. When I returned Megan was just a child and she reached up and held my hand tightly. I told her to wait in the Jeep and she left me like an obedient teenager.
...I spotted someone swimming in nearby Lake Temiscouata. It was her!
I walked over to the shore and called her name. Megan answered with a wave and then swam back to the beach. There was towel lying next to her pile of clothing. I held it up and it was my gorgeous hitchhiker who took it from me.
... This was no teenager. This was a woman in her forties.
p67:
I looked at Megan in the moonlight. She was terrified, her little teenage face with eyes as big as saucers. I grabbed her hand and carefully we backtracked to the jeep and drove off.
... She gradually returned to her lovely self and we climbed into bed. She continued to cling to me most of the night and I could sense age changes taking place on an almost regular basis. It was the teenager phase that worried me most, so as much as I was tempted I held off with the lovemaking. In the morning everything was normal. We showered and dressed and had some delicious pancakes before checking out of the inn.
p81:
...When we checked in Megan was her usual self. Then when we went downstairs for more ice she converted to her older self and walked right past the poor man with the ice bucket and winked. I know he must have thought something was going on because when we went out later he had a big smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.
Megan confessed in the car on the way to the diner. I just bet he went up to the room to see if I had another woman in there.
At least she didn't do her teenager thing. That could have had a serious effect, although I don't know with this guy.
p82:
I... took my foot off the brake and the car appeared to be rolling backwards up the hill.
Megan was actually a little scared at first, probably because I pretended to be frightened too.
It was the Magnetic Hill that gave me an idea... It has to do with her ability to change her appearance.
The first premise was that she would be able and willing to change at will and the second premise was that the ability would continue at least for the foreseeable future. Megan said that when she truly falls in love the older Megan will get younger and the teenager will get older until they meet up in her present age.
The keyword is "love". Once this happens the change ability will disappear forever. I also brought up her ability to be clairvoyant and she didn't know if that would fade...
p83:
I put aside the idea of getting her to do her act for money in front of an audience...
As best I could tell the teenage Megan was now about seventeen and I resolved that the next time she appears in the shower I would make love to her.
...first she was turning into a heck of a woman and second Megan might just get a bit upset to the point of at least slowing down the process and giving me more time to get rich. I should say give 'us' more time to get rich.
...We had another vodka. Then Megan changed into a seventeen-year-old and I became a dirty old man. After it was over she didn't seem upset at all, which kind of put a glitch in my plans. We would have to hurry.
In the morning I went out and bought a ticket and brought it back to the room.
...At noon I went back up and she was lying on the bed asleep.
p84:
- The Ghost Writer -
...Megan was in the shower. The Megan who hitchhiked was under the spray. Beautiful as ever.
She told me that her ability to change her age had gone, but she still sensed a residue of clairvoyance, at least for now.
We would be back in Nova Scotia by then, either as a rich couple but a couple regardless."

Addie Bell's Shortcut to Growing Up
- (AA amnesia FFed, time skip magic) Jessica Brody, 2017.
By the author of "A Week of Mondays" (time loop novel). Being newly 12 and in 7th grade stinks. Addie Bell is so over this - she wonders how much more she can possibly take. She seems to be a sixteen year old stuck in a twelve year old's body.
It doesn't help that her best friend Grace is still somewhat "childish" - wanting to have tea parties and do their school assignments on fairy tales at a slumber party. If only Addie could fast-forward to being 16 like older sister Rory, and wear makeup, have a cellphone, drive a car, and stop dressing in the babyish clothes that line her closet.
For her birthday, elderly neighbor Mrs. Toodles gives her a jewelry box that has the power to magically grant wishes. There's no way right? So she writes "I wish I was sixteen" and locks it in the box.
When she wakes up, the whole world has changed. Addie is no longer twelve, in the same babyish bedroom with the little kid clothes and zero curves. She wakes to find she's actually sixteen years old, in a room full of awesome furniture, cute clothes, makeup, and a dog - something she wasn't allowed to have. At first she thinks it's a belated birthday present. It's funny when she first encounters her newly developed body. Her mother enters just as she's holding her new boobs (prominent but not gigantic), and tells her to hurry up.
"This is the glamorous, uninhibited, greatly improved life of sixteen-year-old Adeline. It's like someone has unlocked the door and let me out of my prison cell. Someone has finally set me free. And I have a feeling it's going to be amazing."
So Addie, who now likes to be called Adeline, is tossed into this world. 4 years have passed, meaning that Addie missed growing up, seeing her sister off to college, and even getting her puppy. Sure, there are photos of Addie during all these times, but she wasn't actually there for any of it. She has to learn to navigate life as a teenager, with no memory of the intervening 4 years!
Suddenly being in high school seems harder than she'd thought. For starters, she still has the driving skills of a 12-year-old, doesn't know how to find her locker, can't speak a word of French, or even knows how to pronounce trigonometry. Her first attempts at flirting are pretty hilarious. And for some reason she is no longer on speaking terms with best friend Grace...
However, Addie has become besties with shallow mean girl Clementine, and is now one of the most popular girls in school. They have a successful makeup/hair/nails vlog that they run together, and this Addie has plenty of guys after her - seven of them asked her to the school dance, and she turned down every one of them. But is her friendship with Clementine all it's cracked up to be?
Addie struggles to make sense of the world she is living in now, and figure out exactly how to fix things that got all messed up in the past years - not an easy feat! Big changes can come from small choices thoughtlessly made. Being yourself with your equally uncool best friend is a lot better than being popular all by yourself. Also revealed: dorky seventh grade boys can actually grow up to be date-worthy! A really cute book, definitely light and fluffy. There's a strong underlying message about friendship being worth more than anything. Younger readers shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up, but instead enjoy every moment of their lives as they go along.

...most perfect features she had ever seen. Yet it was not an insipid face. The features were sharply cut, and the eyes looked wise. She opened her mouth, and looked at her beautiful even teeth. She had grown taller and straighter, her waist smaller, her bosom high and full.
"That can't be me," she said with a gasp.
"Yes, it's you."
"My clothes don't fit."

Her blue dress had split at the neck-line, barely if at all containing them inside of it ... she was now actually five feet-seven inches tall ... he did not have to look down at her as if looking at his boots.
As she walked her pink breast could be seen, just over the top of the tattered blue dress ... Allyce trembled at the thought, she was a child in a woman's body ... she knew nothing about caressing yet ...

Animorphs
(TF, some CBed) "The Invasion", #1, K.A. Applegate novel.
Gigantic drapes as big as the sails of a ship were falling all around me. They were my clothes.
Tobias had dropped to all fours, clothing now half-draped over him, like so many rags. The change back to human form was at least as strange as the change to cat. The tail was sucked up like a snake going up a vacuum cleaner. Tobias stood there, looking embarrassed. He quickly pulled on his clothes. "Maybe with some practice we can figure out how to change back into our clothes."
A thing that was part horse and part Cassie smiled at us with big horse teeth and said, "Hey, kids." Marco suddenly sat down. Very hard. He had never seen a morphing. "It's cool," I said, trying to sound very relaxed. "It's just Cassie."
I decided I'd better be a gentleman and look away. After all, when Tobias and I had morphed, we'd kind of morphed right out of our clothes. But I noticed that as Cassie emerged from the horse she was wearing a skintight blue outfit. One of those outfits girls wear to do aerobics. "How did you manage to morph with clothing?" I asked. "When Tobias and I did it . . . well, let's just say it's a good thing neither of you girls was around." "It took some practice," Cassie said, "And it can only be tight clothing. I tried it with a coat on. It got shredded.
About three minutes after he'd started the change, there was a completely normal Tobias, sitting naked on the end of my bed. I loaned him a pair of pants and a shirt, but my shoes were all the wrong size.

Anna All Year Round
- (UC scene, slight FF) Mary Downing Hahn, children's book.
Before [8 y.o.] Anna leaves for school, Mother reaches into the hall closet, and pulls out Anna's blue coat.
When Anna puts on her coat, it feels tight across the shoulders.
"My, my, Anna, you've grown," Mother says.
Anna looks at her sleeves. They are way too short. The shoulders are too narrow. Her dress shows below the coat's hem. It looks like she's wearing someone else's coat. Someone much younger than she is. "I can't wear this," Anna says. "It's too small."

Anna Apparent
- (UC glimpse) Nina Bawden, 1972.
She had certainly looked more beautiful... Her outgrown school coat had been exceptionally unbecoming - the straining buttons over that magnificent chest - but she was young enough for this to be quite unimportant ... white, uncreased neck had risen out of the ill-fitting collar...

Annabel Brown
- (UC glimpse) ...perched on the table, swinging her legs with the neatest nonchalance... she was a fine well-grown girl of seventeen or so, and indeed showed how fast she had grown taller and broader by her garments, which were rather short, and displayed more leg than was altogether seemly, and also didn't meet in the front as well as they might have done...

Annie, Between the States
- (teen UC scene) Laura Elliott.
"As Annie leaned over to fasten the last ten buttons, her corset cut off her breath.
"Oh no,"she cried, and stepped forward to look again. She'd grown. Her wrists were well exposed beyond her dress sleeves, making Annie appear even ganglier. She looked at the floor. The hem was too short as well, but at least the hem of her petticoat made it look finished.
She sighed. She didn't want to change her clothes. It wasn't Christmas without wearing this dress. How could she have gotten taller? She was going to be sixteen next month, a complete adult. ... And here she was still sprouting like a toddler."

Archer's Goon
(AP scene, male ARed to baby, male AP's) 13 year old Howard learns he travelled back in time twice as an adult. On each occasion he was adopted by his family as a baby found in the snow. 8 year old sister Awful likes to steal alcohol and shriek deafeningly.
- (AP text)
--- When Howard got there, there was Awful racing out of the gates, chased by 20 angry little girls. Awful was shouting "My big brother's here to hit you! Hit them, Howard!"
Howard did not know what Awful had done to the other little girls, but knowing Awful, he suspected it was something bad. He swung his bag menacingly, hoping that would frighten the little girls off, but there were so many of them and they were so angry it ended by being quite a fight. And the little girls called names.
--- "I can keep people from your town for an hour, but beyond that I don't let anyone risk himself."
"Why?" said Awful.
"Because the longer anyone stays in the past, the older he becomes in his present day. You won't want to go home a grown woman, will you?"
Awful stared at him, not believing it.
"It's true," said Hathaway. "I found out the hard way. After 2 years here, I was an old, old man in your time - and I don't age as fast as you would."
--- All he could see was that the person was quite small to start with. Then, as the figure put a foot onto the third step and heaved up to it, he saw it was Awful - Awful in the act of growing. What she was doing here, he had no idea, except that she was surely looking for Howard. And with that instinct that makes younger ones unerringly follow elder ones, particularly where they are not wanted, Awful had come into the unfinished building too.
Awful grew as he watched. By the time she was on the 3rd step, she was a large, fat schoolgirl in a maroon uniform, with a sudden strong look of [her ancestor] Shine. In fact, she was completely a fair-haired version of Shine. She heaved up onto the 4rth step. There she was suddenly skinny and Awful again, but nearly 6 feet tall, with a scornful grown-up look. Then she came up on to the marble floor and became a student about Fifi's age, but much better-looking.
Howard-Venturus gaped. He had no idea Awful would grow up that pretty. Beside him, Erskine's eyes popped, and a great admiring grin spread over his little face.
Awful looked at them both accusingly. "What's happened?" she said. "What have you done to Howard?" Then she looked down at herself. She looked horrified. She gave the well-known earsplitting Awful scream and ran away down the steps again, lunging from one to the other with her arms out and dwindling as she went .Her small, misty shape crashed out of the door and vanished, mistily sobbing.
He threw himself out of the half-built doorway as Howard again...
"Howard!" Awful shrieked joyfully. She was sheltering between two of the diggers...
It was all very well, he thought, but Erskine had not had to be a child 3 times over to get that spaceship.
"You were Venturus when we both were grown-up, weren't you?" Awful whispered to him as they climbed the steps.
...the first of their 2 long arguments after Awful had pointed out that Fifi would probably turn into an old woman when she went into the marble temple.
- (male AP, male ARed)
--- Howard put his right foot down. To his surprise, that foot was not in a boot, but in an old brown training shoe with yellow laces. Ahead of that foot in its trainer, he could see, rather mistily, a flight of 4 shallow marble steps leading up among the scaffolding.
He went up the first step. His left boot did not go spuff there because it was no longer a boot, but a neat shoe at least 2 sizes larger than the boot. It took quite a push to get himself and his right foot onto the 2nd step. The training shoe on that foot was now black, and so were the jeans on the leg above it...
...The 3rd step took an even bigger shove, and the foot that came down on that step was larger still, in an old tennis shoe, with ragged blue jeans above it. At the 4th step... his right foot came down in a spongy, bootlike shoe and a tight white trouser leg. And it was the same kind of shoe and white trouser on the other leg when he forced himself forward onto the marble floor.
Howard took a very much easier step forward, and nearly fell over. He had simply not realized how much he had grown. He spread long arms for balance and looked dizzily down long white-trousered legs.
...And he must have been more than 7 feet tall.
"I suppose I have to grow up to get to the future," he said out loud. His voice rang deeply around the marble spaces and made him jump.
...he began balancing in careful strides...
"I wouldn't have known this was me!" he heard himself saying.
Fully grown up, he seemed to be built on the same huge lines as Erskine... his eyes were the same, but his face was so much thinner that it looked quite different. He wore his hair longish and swept back in a way he did not care for at all.
"Looks horrible," he muttered, rumpling his hair about with a large hand...
Howard walked on down, unsteadily learning to balance his height...
--- Venturus-Howard said: "I found out the hard way, like Hathaway did... When I walked out of the door, I must have turned into a baby on the spot - only I didn't know I had, of course. I didn't realize what had happened until I was 13 and my powers had started to come back."
"I didn't know they would adopt me twice. I really didn't know that when I went outside and turned into a baby, I was going to take everything back 13 years with me. I had no idea it would be snowing then either."
--- He saw his foot come down in the brown training shoe with yellow laces, but this time his other foot came down in the pair to it. It was much easier to get up the steps. Howard arrived at the top only an inch or so taller. Ginger arrived several inches taller, but without his 2 black eyes and not limping at all.
...Ginger called out, leaping down the steps. "And I tell you what-" But at that point he became a year younger. "Ow!" he yelled, hobbling. Both his black eyes were back.
--- Howard looked at Erskine warily. He rather thought Erskine's eyes had flicked onto Awful after that.
...he had taken a look at the world and decided to farm it. When he did, he would offer Awful a share.

Ascension: Science fiction and fantasy series
- (AP) "Tales of Cinnamon City #3" - by Peter James West, 2014.
Annie stepped closer. "Are you okay honey?" Annie screamed, raising her hands to her mouth.
"It's okay, Annie," Lisa said, turning to face her with white fire in her eyes. "We all have to grow up sometime."
Annie stumbled backwards. Lisa's face was several years older than it had been in the morning. Her shoulders were wider too. In her hands she held a ball of what looked like thousands of buzzing bees.
Annie took another step backwards, her mouth working silently as the color drained from her face.
"Don't be afraid, Annie," Lisa said in a voice much deeper than before. The light in her eyes flickered out, revealing deep blue orbs that were full of experience well beyond her years ... Annie collapsed onto the grass ...
- "Growing Pains"
Lisa was sitting on her bed, cross-legged ... Her hair was a little darker than it had been, and her head had grown too. Her arms and legs were almost as long as Annie's now. It couldn't possibly be her. Annie clung onto the door frame, breathing in short, shallow breaths.
"Come in, Annie," Lisa said in a voice much deeper than before. She sounded more like a teenager than a six-year-old, and she looked like one too.
"Who are you?" she said.
Lisa smiled, and her face lit up with excitement. It was a cheeky expression that was entirely her own. Annie laughed, despite herself. She wanted to cry, but she also wanted to laugh. It was Lisa, but how could it be?
"What happened to you?" Annie said. She couldn't seem to stand any longer so she slumped onto the ground on her knees ... The girl on the bed was a stranger to her, and yet she knew in her heart that it was still the same little girl inside ... now she looked like someone in her early teens. She was full of confidence and energy.
When she looked up, Lisa was standing beside her, looking down into her eyes. Her clothes looked as though they had shrunk in the laundry droid, but Annie knew that it was Lisa who had changed in size ... At first Annie recoiled from her, but then she felt shame at her own reaction and moved closer ... Lisa's hand felt warm even through her shirt. Annie felt a calming wave of well-being flowing through her body, as tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's going to be okay," Lisa said.
Annie nodded and reached up to hold Lisa's hand. It felt like the most natural thing she had ever done ...
- "It Begins"
Lisa sat crossed-legged on her bed, smiling. Her arms were so much longer than they had been before. She stretched them out in front of her with amazement, then rested her hands on her knees.
Annie turned and looked over her shoulder as she folded clothes and placed them in Lisa's cabinets. Her voice sounded natural, but her eyes stared at Lisa as if she had fallen from the sky.
Lisa didn't want Annie to be afraid of her. The Quickening had begun. Childhood dreams were slipping away ...
"I have to go on an adventure," Lisa said.
Annie was placing her clothes in the cabinets, and folding them into neat piles. Lisa wondered why she was wasting her time. None of the clothes would fit her anymore. She no longer had the body of a six-year-old. She was twice the size that she had been in the morning. Several parts of her body she didn't really understand at all. She felt different in odd places at times. She guessed it was all part of growing up. Maybe it would have been easier to understand if she hadn't grown up in less than half an hour.
Lisa uncrossed her legs and climbed down from the bed. When she stood upright, her head reached Annie's shoulders rather than her waist. Everything looked different from her new height. She looked down at her clothes and smiled. She was wearing an old shirt and some loose shorts that Annie had found among Rachel's clothes. The clothes looked baggy on Lisa's small frame, but she had managed to secure the shorts in place with a belt so they didn't fall onto the ...
... "Her voice is deeper," Annie said. "She's grown so much that her clothes don't even fit anymore. I don't know what to do. I don't know what happened to her. She's like a teenager all of a sudden."
... When I found her in the garden, she looked like a twelve-year-old, and she's grown even more since then. Her arms are as long as mine." Rachel frowned ... Lisa was growing up so fast. She was always growing out of her clothes ... I've seen things today that I can't explain."

"Five foot five on a good day in sling back pumps. I glimpsed my reflection in a shining crystal wall, curly red hair, a skinny face with curious green eyes, lots of freckles. I remembered a Polaroid picture Bobby Mac had taken when I was twenty-seven at a church picnic. That's how I looked now! Heaven is full of wonderful surprises and perhaps one of the sweetest was knowing that others see me always at my best, my brightest, my happiest. Age doesn't matter. There is no old, no young. The dear children who left the earth too soon are what they were meant to be in full flower and the aged who are worn and bent and frail at death once again blossom. It was such a thrill for me to see Mama in a flapper's dress with a little tilted red hat and a glittery beaded dress and high heels, her beautiful face shining with love.

"Your mum, bewildered by your ballooning vocabulary, takes you to the doctor's for a three-month-long battery of tests, and in between these tests you master longhand and long division, read Madame Bovary, grow twelve inches, and when all the results are back your mum breaks down and curses herself for calling you Eepie, an old woman's name...
...has begun aging you a month a day so that on the way home you need to stop at the drugstore for panty shields and antiperspirant.
... New in town? because with breasts and your mum's miniskirt you're no longer recognizable."

Bang Crunch
(AP, AR) Neil Smith 2007 debut volume with 9 stories. The title story is about an 8 year old girl with Fred Hoyle syndrome, in which the aging process is speeded up and then reverses. Eepie Carpetrod won't live much beyond her 10th birthday. She ages a month a day, and by the time her mother trots her to a doctor her vocabulary has ballooned, she has grown 12 inches, has mastered longhand and long division and has read Madame Bovary. Her mum argues she's eternal, her mind and soul expanding forever like the universe, an allusion to the Big Bang theory. She knows her death will be her brain collapsing under its own weight, the Big Crunch. The pace is frenetic, to match Eepie's experience of life, and the 2nd-person narration is weirdly effective in its matter-of-factness (you know, you live, you die). The disease whisks her forward in time, then back. She may be the first character in fiction to expand and contract with the universe.

This dream confuses her. How old is he? How old is she? She's not sure exactly, but as she sits with the other children, she looks down and sees little girl legs, little girl arms, and strange little girl clothes, skirt and top a light shade of orange. But no matter the clothes or her size, she knows this is her body ... even though she is now twenty-eight, grown, ... an only child.
Everyone in the dark place is like her, can do the strange things she does. Can do the things she has to hide in her real life.
...she can almost see the bad people and the bad things they do.
...there is another child in the dark place who is hers ... matched ... but she can't see him.
Her magic in the mirror, backward.
"...I knew that somewhere, there had to be someone to match my power. Someone who could do what I could do, only backward."
"What is it?" she asked. "What can you do?"
"I've only done it twice, once by mistake,, once on purpose to see if I had really done it in the first place," he said. "It wasn't like there was any way to really check. Perhaps I could have gone to a physician to have a scan. But even without it, I felt something. Something in my bones. And I don't have any control of it."
"What can you do?"
"Aging. I can make myself older. I think I've lost about ten years. Maybe more."
Mila gasped. "How could you tell? Was it time that passed?"
"No. It was more like my skin. The way I felt. The feeling inside me. My blood and bones. The first time it happened, I ran to my almost-mother to see if she looked different, to see if she noticed anything about me. But she was just as she had been before I'd gone to my room to get my schoolbooks."
"So your twin could go the other way. Together, you could get back all those years. Back and forth. You could even stay about twenty for your whole lives..."
"I suppose we could be twenty forever."
"From what I've seen of powers, maybe we could give that 'gift' to everyone. ... without my opposite energy, I'm useless. A person with a power no one needs or wants."
...we move time, either in the world or in us."

- (male adult "growth" CB) p321:
"The little soldiers began to grow gradually, but perceptibly. First a few lines, and then by half inches.
Before all, though, was the appetite of the troops. The birdcage no longer sufficed as barracks.
Neumann was compelled to give up to the soldiers, who were now 8 inches high, the best room in the house, while they exercised in the flower-garden in front. The uniforms, too, grew too tight for the growing soldiers, and burst at the seams. ... the little regimental tailors cut up into collars, trouser-stripes, hats etc.
The worst thing, though, was that the soldiers did not look half as nice as before, when they had grown awhile. By the time they attained their full size, the Neumanns could not remain in their own houses for billets."

Blood Engines

He dropped to one knee, then struggled to his feet, hissing inhumanly - and began to grow. Marla thought it was simply an illusion meant to intimidate her, at first, but no - he was actually gaining mass, getting taller, his shoulders broadening, the muscles in his arms and calves bulging. His clothes split at the seams and fell away, revealing a complex harness of brown leather straps with copper-colored studs he wore underneath.
The straps cut visibly into his expanding flesh, and when a strange, yellowish blood began to run down his arms, legs, chest, Marla realized the copper studs were actually the heads of nails - the harness was nailed to him, and as he expanded against the bonds, the nails dug in and wounded him. He gasped, standing eight feet tall now, but hunched over in the constricting harness. Marla didn't relax, but it was clear Ch'ang Hao wasn't about to attack anyone.
"That's some serious fucking bondage," Rondeau said.
Ch'ang Hao shrank down to his old size, wincing.
"If I were in possession of my full powers, I would destroy you," he said solemnly.
"That's quite a trick, changing size while retaining your original shape," Marla said.
"I've never known a sorcerer who could do that, not without getting cancer in the process. That kind of stuff plays hell with your cellular integrity."
She was on edge, ...
...she could see the tiny silver threads now, like puppet strings attached to Ch'ang's throat, shoulders, wrist, waist, and ankles.

It vexed Tatiana that the body she was increasingly uneasy with could outgrow her favorite dress. It wasn't as if her body were blossoming to look like Dasha's, full of hips and breasts and thighs and arms. No, not all. Tatiana's hips, though round, remained small, and her arms and legs remained slender, but the breasts got larger, and there was the problem. Had the breasts remained the same size, Tatiana wouldn't have had to leave the straps loose, exposing her bare spine under the crisscrosses from her shoulder blades to the small of her back for all the world to see.
Tatiana liked the notion of the dress, the feeling of the cotton against her skin and the stitched roses under her fingers, but she did not like the feeling of her exploding body trapped inside the lung-squeezing material.
What she enjoyed was the memory of her skinny-as-a-stick fourteen-year-old-self putting on that dress for the first time and going for a Sunday walk on Nevsky. It was for that feeling that she had put on the dress again this day...
