Do you think you’ll ever update bloodied hands & velvet sheets? I know you’re probably busy with your other stories but that one has always been interesting to me.

I wouldn't say I'll never update it - I do still love the story idea and have most of chapter two written, it's more just it's not a priority story for me at the moment.

I just went here bc I thought something might happened to you ;;;; the last update from CS is from September last year. (At least at FF). I'm used to "slow" updates which is totally fine! (take your time!!) but this is the longest wait since I'm following your story so I was really worried! glad you're still alive and doing well 😭 how's it going with both stories atm? CS and ybtm (ibty)? Sending much love! ❤️

I am indeed still alive! Just busy with real life shit 😔

I’m chipping away at both YBTM(IBTY) and CS, as well as ruination, BH&VS, and i don’t owe you my forgiveness.

I’m all over the place but I’m hoping to have some stuff posted shortly!

Have you watched a Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? I couldn’t help but imagine Tom and Harry in Snow and Lucy Gray’s places throughout the whole movie.

I haven’t but I’ve seen the trailers and it looks awesome!

I’d probably want to finish bloodied hands and velvet sheets before trying another hunger games inspired work tho 😂

hello, Jordan!

just finished reading your lucaemond story (after reading your most recent tomarry story), and i was wondering if there is hope in seeing future for the lucaemond story (ruination)?

omw to read 'bloodied hands & velvelt sheets', and seeing that it hasnt been updated in a while, i was also... curious... to ask if there are any plans for that story?

Hello!

I fully intend to keep writing ruination, fret not my dear! I'm just scatter-brained and easily distracted by the latest shiny thing that catches my interest. Chapter 3 is about halfway completed :)

As for BH&VS - I do plan to update that one too! Not sure when, but Chapter 2 is about 40% complete as well!

I can't lie I still think about that hunger games au you write briefly daily. I realky got back into the hunger games the past 2 years with a ballad of songbirds and snakes just making me more into it so I've been consuming fanfics like crazy for it

Oh, thank you! I have every intention to update that one, I swear! It's got a special place in my cluttered brain because it's for skitty 😂

I just have to properly prepare myself. Writing chapter 2 is...emotionally draining because of the Pain.

Hello

What happened to this fic? The hunger games AU one is it dropped? bloodied hands and velvet sheets one

Sorry if I was rude

Hi there! It’s not dropped - I’m just freaking slow at updating 😂

The second chapter is like, half-finished in my drafts folder. I chip away at it whenever the muse strikes me, so I can’t say when it’ll be finished, unfortunately

hi jordan!!! i just re-read bh&vs and omg i cannot even begin to tell u how much i love it. i’ve never read the hunger games before so the fact that you’ve got me to invested in this story is HDBSJSJS lmao anyway! i was wondering if we could have a bh&vs snippet maybe? i just miss the au so much <3333

Hello!! This fic haunts me hahahha I’m so bad with working on it even though the next two chapters are completely planned out and half of the scenes are written 😭

Hilariously, I’ve never read the hunger games book either - I’m just getting by on a general understanding of the franchise vibes and the wiki pages 😂

And you sure can have a snippet! This is from Harry’s first…encounter with his first client. So the implications are very icky.

——————

“How can I repay you?” Alexis cooed, walking Harry back towards the bed. His hands—narrow but greedy in their touch, his rings glinting in the golden light—clutched at his shoulders, his hips, the back of his neck. The way his fingers curled over his skin reminded Harry of a collar.

The man tipped Harry’s head back, watery eyes roaming over his features with covetous wonder. “Such beauty, such exquisiteness, and your eyes…so absolutely…lovely.” The last word ghosted over Harry’s cheek. A brand that made him want to flinch.

To hide away from this man and all the others like him.

Harry felt a sob rise in his throat, an ugly, broken sound that would have shattered the disgusting illusion Alexis seemed to have of him.

Play your part, Snape had told him, quiet and urgent, before he had been taken out of his apartment.

He hadn’t understood what he had meant, not fully.

He hadn’t wanted to understand, truthfully, even as he had, just minutes ago, shakily swallowed the pill that Angelica had pressed into his hand last week.

The guards, his escorts, hadn’t stopped him, and he was pathetically grateful.

Play your part.

Harry swallowed his terror, blinking rapidly to dispel the tears he could feel gathering.

Jordan I think you're the personification (did I use this word right) of the elmo raising fire meme. I'm totally ready for the trauma you will subject us in the next chapter of BH&VS and I'm sure you'll be sipping a cup of red wine, revelling in the chaos ensued, while scrolling your ask box on a Sunday evening

You're not wrong. My brain is in a constant state of:

I can't remember if I've shared this snippet outside of discord before, but this is the scene I'm most looking forward to:

The boy shushed him, mockingly running a hand through his wet hair as Harry choked and coughed and tried to twist away.

He leaned down, close enough that Harry could feel his hot breath against his freezing skin. “It’s okay, we’re just having a little fun, aren’t we?” he crooned in his ear, barely audible over the pounding in Harry's temples.

Harry swung his arm out blindly, but the boy just pulled back with a laugh. “Still feisty,” he said with a sick grin. “Yeah, I knew you would be a good one.”

“Get the fuck off me,” Harry hissed, his throat raw. He flailed, his feet slipping in the mud, unable to gain any leverage.

“Nah,” the other boy said, so effortlessly holding him, perfectly positioned so the water lapped at the edges of Harry's face but never quite covered him. “I like it here. I need to do something while Chelsea’s dealing with your pretty little friend.”
