clip from the 2.6 special program, in 0.5x speed, where: hugo and robin are spending new year's eve gilded carrot day at victoria housekeeping. hugo looks over to lycaon and says something to him.
ps: hugo definitely brought robin along so he could see butler.
Lifeblood’s Chapter One had a different opening when I first wrote it. The beginning, where Jack and Hugo first meet (before they head to Jack's house), was entirely different. The opening was shorter and bleaker, and I decided it wasn’t the tone I wanted to start the story on.
I changed it for a few reasons. First, as I said, it was more bleak than I wanted to open the story on. I wanted the angst to build up and be based on choices and consequences that the characters make.
Secondly, that original opening didn’t really show any of Hugo’s capabilities. It more so put him in Jack’s debt, which wasn’t an undertone I wanted hanging over the story. I didn’t want Hugo to feel or seem incapable, or for it to seem like he became a phantom thief because Jack saved him.
Lastly, it felt like I was telling too much too soon. Some lines from the original draft do matter later, but revealing them right away made me worried that their emotional impact wouldn't hit hard. I wanted those details to linger when they come up, and be felt by both character and reader alike.
So, I rewrote the beginning entirely to what it is on AO3. If you’re curious, the original opening is below the break. I think you can see the similarities between the first opening and the finished one. But fair warning: it’s darker, contains light spoilers for upcoming chapters, and is a bit messy. It was part of my first draft, so please forgive any spelling or grammar errors. And thank you for your interest in my writing, it means a lot to me!

You can never escape your blood. Hugo knew this now. He learned it out in some back alley he had managed to stumble into before collapsing; he felt the shadow of their claws sinking into him. Stranger's faces around him twisted into familiarity, every movement made him jerk in anticipation of an attack, and the whispers haunted his thoughts as he dug his nails into stone, brick, flesh, anything that kept him grounded until his fingers were blistered and bloodied. Teeth chattering, he was thankful the city streets had enough cover to block the pouring rain from completely drenching him; the common clothes he wore in hopes of obscuring himself from his family offered little protection compared to his normal attire. It was pointless anyway, one look at his eyes and they'd find them. He leaned his head back, his body colder than the brick he leaned against. A passing thought about missing home, missing the warmth of the family's large hearth and the ample food available, made him hit his head against the chilled brick behind him.
Nothing could make him return to that nightmare. He had escaped. He was free. That's what should matter. Not the fact that he couldn't survive by his lonesome, or that his mind kept wandering to a life he wished he hadn't lived. What mattered was that he got to trace his fingertips across the paved streets below instead of the wooden floors polished to hide stains of blood. What mattered was that he could look up and see the sky, and not his siblings' sneers or his father's disappointment. What mattered was that he was free, and soon he'd get to tell Serena about what freedom felt like, if only for the short time he managed to experience it.
A firm clasp on his shoulder caused him to jerk with shock. He hadn’t even noticed anyone walk up to him, let alone kneel beside him. He tried to shy away, shake his shoulder free, but the man wasn’t budging, and Hugo glanced his way with a curious look. Just from appearances alone, he knew this gruff, older man wasn't a Ravenlock lackey; his father was too self-absorbed to hire anyone who didn't look like they bled gold.
“Son,” the stranger said in a gritty voice, “you’ll catch your death out here. Got nowhere else to go, I figure?” Hugo answered wordlessly, shaking his head no with little motion.
“Thought so. Would you like to come with me? I can offer you food and shelter.”
His head was swirling. "I don't think I can stand," he managed to say, surprised just how weak he sounded. His head lulled back; perhaps if he could sleep, his strength would return. He hadn't felt this exhausted before in such a long time.
"C'mon, stay with me now." The gruff voice cut through his exhaustion, and his eyes flew open as he was suddenly pulled to his feet. Hugo staggered, feeling the world spin around him, but the stranger helped stabilize him. “I gotcha. Whether you like it or not, I can’t let ‘ya die out here. Feel free to lean on me as much as you need while we head to my place. I’m built like bricks for a reason,” he chuckled before continuing, “I’m Jack, by the way.”
They managed a few steps away from the back alley as his senses came to him; the cold slumber his body wanted to drift into fell away to life once more.
