Jordan relaxed in the comfortable confines of Sara’s bag. He was tucked away from the prying eyes of her peers. While her books and materials were stuffed beneath him, he rested on the soft hoodie, nestled between two folds of the sweatshirt she had stuffed inside, creating a cushioned space that now made up his floor. The thick fabric, slightly worn from frequent use, cradled him in warmth. He shifted slightly, adjusting his position so that the soft fleece pressed up against his back rather than bunching beneath him.
The scent of Sara’s hoodie filled his nostrils—a mixture of laundry detergent, faint traces of her shampoo, and something distinctly her. It was a strangely grounding sensation, an almost subconscious reminder that, despite the absurdity of his situation, he was safe. Here, hidden away from the massive, chaotic world, he could just exist without the constant reminder of how small he had become.
The voice of Mallory was close by, telling Jordan that she must be positioned near Sara’s bag, but he couldn’t actually see her when he looked up through the opening. Instead, all he could glimpse was the blurred movement of hands and books as students passed by, the occasional flash of a sleeve or a backpack strap swinging past. He considered trying to peek out more, but he knew from experience that drawing attention to himself was a mistake. The moment someone saw him, the questions would start. The stares. The awkward, lingering looks from people who either pitied him or found his existence fascinating in a way that made him feel like an exhibit. No, it was better to stay tucked away, where he could control his own space.
Sara walked with a natural, measured pace that Jordan had come to appreciate. She had figured out early on how to move in a way that wouldn’t send him tumbling around inside her bag, keeping her steps light but steady. It was an unconscious act of consideration on her part, but one that made all the difference for him. Other Littles weren’t always so lucky—he had heard stories about Guardians who threw their Littles into bags without a second thought, treating them like nothing more than accessories. But Sara wasn’t like that. Even now, he could feel the way she occasionally adjusted her bag’s position, subtly shifting the weight to ensure he wasn’t pressed too hard against the textbooks below.
The rhythmic sway of her movement was almost hypnotic, rocking him gently with each step. It reminded him of being on a quiet train ride, where the smooth motion lulled passengers into a comfortable daze. If he let himself relax fully, he could almost doze off, enveloped in the warmth of the hoodie, the faint rustling of paper and notebooks around him blending into white noise.
The air inside the bag was slightly warmer than the outside, trapped heat from Sara’s body making it feel like a cozy little cocoon. It wasn’t stuffy, though, Sara had left the top unzipped, allowing fresh air to filter in. He appreciated that. Being sealed in a bag like a piece of luggage would have been unbearable, both physically and mentally. The ability to look up and see the opening, to know that he could climb out if he wanted to, made all the difference.
Mentally, it was an odd thing to process. He had once been independent, moving through the world like anyone else. Now, he was being carried through a high school like an afterthought, tucked into a backpack that wasn’t even his. And yet, somehow, he didn’t mind. There was a strange kind of security in it. Out there, beyond the fabric walls of Sara’s bag, the world was overwhelming, massive, loud, full of dangers he never had to think about before. But inside here, everything was contained. Predictable. Safe.
The muffled voices of students filled the air, bits and pieces of conversation slipping through as Sara moved through the hallways. Jordan could pick out words, sometimes entire sentences, but none of it really mattered to him. It was just background noise, a hum of life happening around him while he remained in his own little pocket of the world.
A sudden shift in the bag signaled that Sara had sat down, likely in her next class. Jordan adjusted accordingly, bracing himself slightly as her bag settled into place. He heard the faint sound of a zipper, then the rustling of notebooks as she reached inside, her fingers brushing past him as she pulled out her materials. He stayed still, waiting for the inevitable.
Sure enough, a moment later, he felt a familiar fingertip gently tousling his hair. “Still comfy in there?” Sara whispered, amusement in her tone.
Jordan sighed. “Still comfy,” he admitted, though he swatted half-heartedly at her finger. “Not that you need to keep checking.”
“I like knowing you’re good,” she replied simply before zipping the bag just enough to close it halfway, leaving him plenty of space to breathe. “Besides, I think you like it in there.”
Jordan hesitated, then shrugged, even though she couldn’t see him. “Maybe a little.”
Sara laughed softly before turning her attention back to the class, leaving Jordan to settle back into his little nook. He could hear the teacher starting the lecture, but it was nothing he cared to listen to. Instead, he let himself sink into the soft hoodie beneath him, letting the warmth and comfort of his enclosed space ease some of the tension from his body.
For all the challenges that came with being a Little, this, being tucked away, shielded from the world, knowing that Sara was looking out for him, was one of the few things that actually felt… nice.
this all feels like a calm before the storm lol not that I’m complaining too much. It’s nice to have some peace for a bit
I think the party will be the storm.
Got to make sure Jordan’s alive, Sara wouldn’t want a dead little or anything.
that would be horrible. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.
Wow so calm so peaceful so positive………. Okay now it’s time for the storm of chaos lol we all know it’s coming so best to get ready
I like that you brought in her smell into him feeling better because you said littles had advanced smell and he is bonded to Sara so her skin and body smell would make him feel safe.
I think one thing that a lot of macrophiles like is that feeling of safety as a giantess protects us from above. I think this chapter perfectly embodies that feeling.
That probably is a big part for a lot of people so i can see how that would resonate
1.1) “The voice of Mallory was close by, telling Jordan that she must be positioned near Sara’s bag” Why must Mal be near Sara’s bag, and why is she telling Jordan?
1.2) “No, it was better to stay tucked away, where he could control his own space.” control is a bit of a stretch, but it would be nice not to be stared at like that.
2) “he had heard stories about Guardians who threw their Littles into bags without a second thought, treating them like nothing more than accessories” Sara’s done that to him before, he also saw it first hand with Saddie.
3.1) “Being sealed in a bag like a piece of luggage would have been unbearable, both physically and mentally” he wouldn’t wanna do that again.
3.2) “The ability to look up and see the opening, to know that he could climb out if he wanted to, made all the difference” Climbing out probably wouldn’t be the best idea.
4) “somehow, he didn’t mind. There was a strange kind of security in it.” I like that he feels safe, though I suspect that the bond is a factor in why he does.
5) “Jordan could pick out words, sometimes entire sentences, but none of it really mattered to him.” That’s just walking through a crowded space, tiny or not.
6.1) “Still comfy in there?” checking in is good to see.
6.2) “Still comfy, Not that you need to keep checking.” Yes, she does.
7) “I like knowing you’re good, Besides, I think you like it in there.” – “Maybe a little.” This time she’s actually put in effort to make it a comfortable space for him, instead of dumping him in recklessly like last time.
8) “He could hear the teacher starting the lecture, but it was nothing he cared to listen to.” that’s gonna bite him in the ass when he needs to do work for this class.
8) It will but that’s Jordan’s personality and character type. He isn’t a schooling type. he does have access to the material though so he can choose to read and study later. As in theory when Sara studies would be time for him to get schoolwork done as well.
7) She did. I wanted to show growth in Sara as well. While she may not call attention to her mistakes she is observant in how Jordan reacts and what he likes and doesn’t like and does adjust things.
6.2) Sara definitely well. The i viewed when I thought about it was her needing that check in.
6.1) She is trying to be better and do right by Jordan.
5) It really is. It’s just noise you catch bits and pieces of.
4)It’s a bit of both. They are bonding but he also generally feels safe with Sara and feels like she is looking out for him. As Jordan’s general opinion of Sara is that shes not perfect but she trying to do right and do her best with him.
3.2) It wouldn’t be a good idea and he has no intention of doing it but he likes knowing that the avenue is there. Kind of like when some people walk into a room they immediately look for where the exits and emergency exists are. As they like knowing where they are in relation to the exits in case they need them.
3.1) It wasn’t the best experience but better then Kelli’s experience of being in Kayla’s tiny purse.
2) Sara didn’t throw him without a second thought though. She thought about what she was doing and then did it.
1.2) Well control as in he is the master of his own domain in this moment. If he pokes his head out for people to see him that his choice to be seen.
1) she wasn’t literally telling him. It was the sound of her voice and how it was coming towards her telling him where she was located and her proximity.
0) I saw you brought up little Dayton somewhere to show Sara being a good guardian. When is the next LD coming out?
8) I think he’ll need Sara’s help with the work
7) I don’t think it’ll ever be good enough without her acknowledging and apologising for her wrongs.
6.2) good, better to check when necessary than to not check when needed.
6.1) We’ll see if it keeps up
4) Jordan may be on hopium
3.1) the first time he was dropped in there aggressively.
2) 0% better
1.1) oh wow, I really misread that one.
0) I’ve got a few episodes pseudo written, I’ll post which ever one gets completed next.
Before Madison’s World I used to feel sorry for Jordan, but now I see that he’s living a good life compared to Cindy and Greg who have basically become full-time slaves.
That was oine That was one of the points of Madison’s World was to provide a showing of what some of the other lifestyles are. That is also why brothers, birthday shipment and chrissy exist as well. As I want the reader to be able to see and not just have me tell them Jordan while not treated the best possible life a little could have. Is treated fairly well but allow the reader to be able to come their own conclusion on that.
I really appreciate your effort in creating such a complex shared universe with such diverse characters.
Thanks its not perfect and not everyones cup of tea but I try.
I like that you have created a universe that you keep trying to refine. We have a smart community that enjoys your creativity and enjoys giving our opinions based on our experiences because of the way you make things relatable to our real life experiences & history.
