Author's Note:

I wrote this fic several years ago, when my understanding of rape culture and related issues was not as developed as it now is, to say the least. therefore, many of the themes of this story came off as downright rapey. it was wrong of me to write it then, as it is now.

normally, I would remove the story entirely, but I am hesitant to do that for two reasons.

1.) many people have enjoyed this story, and I don't know who does or does not return to it for whatever reason.

2.) removing it does not enable anyone to interact with it critically, which we as a society need to do with our media more often.

it was and is wrong of me to write this the way I did. I'm sorry, and I won't write this way in any future works. please keep the shitty subtext in mind while reading.

thank you for your time, and enjoy.
