Red Tinted Rose Lenses (Yandere Harem x Fem!Reader)

Prologue

This story contains sensitive topics, such as childhood s*xual assault, self-harm, su*cide, su*cidal ideation, eating disorders, racism, childhood neglect, homophobia, misogyny, bullying, mentions transphobia/enforcement of gender roles, kidnapping, and panic attacks

*Remember, yandere behavior is NOT ok, healthy, or to be romanticized. This fic is tagged as horror mainly, and romance as a subplot with other characters, as yandere behavior is not romantic, it is harmful and abusive. Understand that these relations may be a traumatizing reality for some, and while I write about this in a horror sense, I also know that it is NOT cute or romantic. I understand that some readers consume yandere media as a type of coping mechanism, and I once did the same, but it's harmful to you, and to others when it is openly romanticized. Yes, you can simp for these characters, but also understand that these characters, while hurt, are doing horrible, horrible things. 

---

While I will include notes at the beginning of the chapter depending on the specific triggers contained, a lot of these sensitive topics are discussed due to them being integral to the story, and not reading those parts would greatly impact your ability as the reader to understand the characters and connect to the story.
(If I forget to note a trigger at the beginning of the chapter, please please please let me know! While I will do my best to remember, I have horrid memory and I don't want my mistake to possibly end up hurting someone.)

Because I'm writing about sensitive topics, I am trying my best to make sure I educate myself, along with using my personal experience in order to avoid misrepresenting these issues. However, if anything I write ends up actually being really offensive, or wrong, I'm open to suggestions, to learning, and to listening to constructive criticism.

Finally, for anyone who relates to these topics, I'll link some mental health resources and other safety resources. I would also appreciate it if you could send me links to resources that I might have missed so that I can add them to the list.
My DMs are open, and while I'm no therapist, I'm willing to listen if anyone ever needs to talk. Of course, I can't guarantee that I can help immediately, or that I can really help at all, but I can try my best to support you all <3.

-----------------------------Prologue-----------------------------

Sweet treats galore,
Honey bright and sweet.
You loved their honey,
and dismissed the bees' stingers.

Flowers dropped,
despite rain and shine.
You pondered the cause,
ignorant of those right beside.

Along the way,
You lost yourself.
But with tastes so sweet,
Was the loss even significant?

How did it get so bad
oh so fast?
Were you simply ignorant
all along?

Sweet honey
hid the sour taste,
And those rose lenses,
hid red blood stains.

AN: If this looks familiar, it's because I'm cross-posting from Quotev! The new quotev updates have been...questionable. So, to my loyal readers, hello, and I've missed you all. And to any new readers, it's lovely to meet you <3
