Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7578572/38/Shin stayed with his grandchildren after the short exchange. He entertained them by conjuring a multitude of beautiful puppets and enacting a play no one was familiar with, controlling the actions and words of the puppets nonverbally with only tiny movements of his fingers.
"So you never use a wand?" asked Mr. Granger.
"I do when I have to summon EF5 tornadoes," said Shin.
Only the Grangers laughed at the comment. They stopped as soon as they realised this.
"He's not joking?" whispered Mrs. Granger.
"I have no idea," Jason whispered back. "The few times I thought he made a joke, it turned out he was completely serious. Like, when I was ten, I asked him if I was going to be short like him, and he told me it was highly unlikely I'd be anything less than six feet because he's actually six foot two. He said he shrunk himself a foot shorter because he doesn't like being tall—makes buying clothes and walking through doors a pain. Well, I don't know about six foot two, but he was completely right about me growing up to six feet."
"Wait, he told me he shrunk himself because being six foot two makes him too scary!" exclaimed Jeremy.
Jason stared at his brother, mouth open.
"He is actually six foot two?" he said incredulously, "how?!"
Jason and Jeremy descended upon their father and demanded he transform back to his full height, because their life didn't make sense anymore. Shin ignored them rather pointedly. Undeterred, they brought their sister Jacqueline into the fray. Jacqueline argued the idea he'd kept himself a foot shorter than his actual height for decades was ludicrous because how was he keeping his organs and nerve system intact, then?
Shin let out an aggrieved sigh after she said this. Then he put baby Elise to the side, and close his eyes.
Immediately he started changing; bare legs and arms shot out of their respective clothes holes as his limbs lengthened; his entire torso expanded in all directions and his shoulders broadened correspondingly. A moment later a very tall, lean but powerfully built man wearing Shin June Hu's face was sitting where the small Shin used to be, wearing clothes that were obviously meant for someone a foot shorter. Everyone was gaping at him.
"It's as I feared," Jason moaned as his siblings slumped against each other. "My dad has no sense of humor."
