Trigger Warnings (Noted as TW beside chapter titles)
For many of us, having characters that go through similar things to us is a way to process and often times receive the justice we never got in regards to our various traumas. As a survivor and advocate of an unfortunately long list of things, these are common themes within my writings; both general fiction and fanfiction alike. I am firm believer in the ideology of the use of Trigger and Content Warnings though and as such, will always attempt to place such a warning before a chapter, with a heading giving a brief overlook as to what will be included with more detailed explanations to be found here. I am an imperfect human though, and while I will catch many things, I may often forget that there may be something. Please, let me know so that I can properly flag it for others. Thank you <3
Chapter 13- This chapter is the true tip of the iceberg to touch on Eibhlin's mortal past and all that she endured. There will be two additional ones later on that further address and explain this. None will be graphic but the heavy religious focus will be at the forefront as that is, unfortunately, a great deal of her trauma alongside her being a CSA.
Chapter 18- This chapter will dive deeper into Eibhlin's backstory of domestic violence at the hands of her father and how his religious views played a major part in why she ultimately decided that taking her own life was better than continuing on. While none of what Eibhlin has endured will be described graphically, romantically or erotically, it is important to note that there will be mentions of penetration, rape, multiple older abusers, a male family member inclusion (NOT SEXUALLY), extreme religious trauma, murder and suicide. Please read with caution.
