There are NO trigger warnings other than in my description. But here are a couple things you may find on this story. .sexual assault⚠️ .child abuse⚠️ .verbal abuse⚠️ .mental abuse⚠️ .physical abuse⚠️ .grief⚠️ .suicidal thoughts⚠️ .drug addiction⚠️ But above all my fic is called "acceptance is hard." And though I will not be making it "easy" or making it seem like rainbows and unicorns in here it does all conclude in acceptance. Got tired of people sweeping under the rug Dick's sexual assault. So I decided to write about it. I assume it goes without mention that this won't be a fun little fic it will touch SA topics, PTSD, anxiety, depression and the difficulties that come with not the life of a crime fighter. But of a victim. Please read at your own risk. I will also be including some more things about the family that DC appears to not like mentioning much. And of course we are stepping outside of canon for this one. I understand how hard it is to accept whatever has happened to any of you. Trust me I do. Which is why at the end of every chapter I will leave the number and the information on organizations/websites or resources to help. You don't need to speak up now. Or call. Or start today. Just know you have help available. Enjoy the read and remember do not proceed if you get triggered by any of the warnings above.

This is a continuation of the incomplete Alex Rider fan fiction trilogy written by AwsomeSauce007. Both her and Anthony Horowitz created these characters and plots. I am simply helping AwsomeSauce007 finish this story after it has sat idle for nearly 6 years. It has to good of a plot and fan base for such a thing! I asked AwsomeSauce007 for permission to continue working on her story but sadly im not sure she is still active on Wattpad, so hopefully im not breaking to many laws, and hopefully I can live up to even half of how amazing her stories are.
