Shrinkin' Lincoln is a fanfiction of The Loud House about, well, Lincoln being shrunk, and bonding with his younger sisters.

The first chapter involves Lisa asking Lincoln to see her new invention. It turns out she's invented a shrink ray and Lincoln's a bit dubious as to how it would work, so she demonstrates. It takes a while to start up, so Lincoln gets impatient and ends up being shrunk. She decides to keep it a secret from their parents and reveals that she can grow him back, but not until the next morning. Lisa then carries Lincoln out in her pocket to talk to Lucy and the twins.

In the second chapter, Lisa shows Lincoln to Lucy and the twins and Lana teaches Lincoln how to feed her pets. It goes well, except for El Diablo, who tries to eat him.

In the third chapter, Lucy is stuck because she has to write a poem describing what it's like to be scared. Lincoln uses his experience nearly being eaten by El Diablo as inspiration, which doesn't work very well so (after giving him lunch), Lucy deliberately scares him for inspiration by giving him empty threats.

In the fourth chapter, Lincoln has a pretend tea party with Lola and they pretend to deal with a doll who's prejudiced against elephants. After the tea party, Lola admits she has no friends and Lincoln reassures her that she will make friends.

In the fifth chapter, Lincoln and his younger sisters form a club to pass the time and they swap secrets.

In the sixth chapter, the sisters come up with an excuse for Lincoln not being at dinner (he's sleep deprived from studying at night) and give him dinner. He sleeps in Lisa and Lily's room and cheers Lily up from a nightmare.

In the seventh and final chapter, Lincoln gets grown back.
