These stories may contain onscreen sex or violence. The characters must undergo hardship and sometimes transformation before they are able to struggle their way out of the darkness. As this implies, the stories are almost always angsty. Many of the stories deal with the topics of abuse, death, or voluntary submission. All of the stories feature love or respect, though sometimes it takes a while to get there.

"O Most Unthankful" and "Cold Stars" have chan content. Other specific warnings can be obtained by clicking on the link for the story, going to the top of the series page that the link leads to, and clicking on "Site Content Label."
