When The Rain Washes You Clean. (You'll Know.)

Notes!

I had to take a little bit of a break from social media, and writing all up. Things became hectic in my mind, and pulling myself away from everything seemed to be the one thing that worked for me. During my time that I was gone, I started to focus more on myself and get myself better. Once I felt on the right track for it all, I sat myself down and began to write once more. At first I tried to pick up on my other ones I left behind, but for now no inspiration had come for them, so I've decided to orphan them for just now. Maybe one day I will pick those ones back up, and complete them then.

But I thought maybe I had lost my spark in writing these two together, until this little idea got born. Did anyone ever hear about how Twilight got written? That it came to her in a dream, and she wrote it all out? Well that's what happened to me with this one, this idea sprung to me in a dream - and the very next day, I started writing it. I wanted to wait until I posted the first chapter, just to make sure this was actually going somewhere.. But now I'm nearly five chapters deep, in the span of three days, I just know this fanfiction will be another long one that get's completed. I'll stop with my little ramble here, and explain some things in this story for you all now. <3

So this story takes place in 1979, almost 1980's where homophobia was a big thing but also discos! Leland himself is homophobic in this fanfiction, due to his views on things and how straight laced some people can be. So there is a trigger warning for homophobic language and internalised homophobia! It does get better, you just need to trust the progress for this one! The Sawyer/Slaughter family in this universe are NOT cannibals, or serial killers - they're just a really rich family, who own a slaughter farm. A lot will be explained further into the story, so I won't have to say much here as well! The family is pretty much as normal as one can be, and Jedidiah does NOT wear face masks either. He just has facial scars and is considered a mute in the family. But he's my big baby, so he gets a lot of love. <3

I will also like to indicate this story revolves heavily around infidelity/cheating. Leland is engaged to be married with Ana in this fanfiction, and he loves her with everything inside of him. But when Johnny enters the picture, some things change. I won't say much, but just a fair warning on this trigger. I do not condone cheating or anything like that in real life, but for the sake of this story and the year it was set... It just wasn't that easy for those who were gay back then.

Chapter lengths have also varied a lot as well, they range anywhere between 5kwords - 10k words. No set on them!

I think I have covered most of what needs to be said here, so I won't carry on any more - if anyone does read these! My Instagram as usual, is linked to the bottom of this chapter. So feel free to follow if you want, I'm always open to talking with new people over this fandom! Maybe we can even play together as well, who knows! n.n

I love you all, and I have missed posting content as well. So I hope this story will fill all your needs for now as well!

With it all being said and done, please do enjoy chapter one of When The Rain Washes You Clean. (You'll Know.)
