The following story contains strong themes that may be distressing to some readers and is intended for mature audiences to read at their discretion.
While the main focus is on story elements such as toxic relationships, mind-games, and the effects of trauma, this story also contains prominent themes of: kidnapping, male on male physical + mental + sexual abuse, Stockholm syndrome and trauma bonding.
While there are clear elements of "dark homo-erotica" this story is not intended to romanticize or fetishize sexual assault, and these moments will rarely be graphic.
Regardless, below is a full list of Mature and/or triggering elements (either minor and referenced once in passing, or major plot related elements) that are found in this story:
· Abuse – Physical, Emotional, Sexual
· Course Language
· Cheating
· Drug Use
· Forced Captivity
· Gun Violence Towards a Person of Color
· Homophobic Language
· Kidnapping
· Male on Male Sexual Contact
· Mental Health Issues
· Murder
· Sexual Assault
· Statutory Rape
· Suicidal Ideation
Lastly, I will be including a colour coded warning system, specifically referring to moments sexual assault appears in this story. These colour warnings will be in the chapter title as a little "heads up" for readers. [These were meant to be circles but they won't show up on Desktop]
💚 Sexual Assault is either mentioned, thought about, or referred to in passing.
💛 Sexual Assault is initiated, non-graphic or fade to black.
❤️ Sexual Assault, or other graphic sexual content, is included.
