Representation: Brown Main Characters, Black Asexual Supporting Character
Told in the POVs of Zafira, Nasir & Altair.
Safety Rating of Zafira & Nasir: Safe with Exceptions
• No cheating
• No OM drama
• Does have OW drama (kinda)
– Nasir's ex-girlfriend confronts him in his bedroom while he's changing, and, of course, Zafira walks in on the scene and jumps to the conclusion that they were hooking up. Notably, before Zafira walks in, Nasir was hurt and talked to his ex to get closure but was definitively not romantically interested in her.
• Does have the Zafira & Nasir pushing each other away
• Does have a ~1-month separation (both were celibate)
Possible Triggers: Yes
• Mutilation resulting in permanent disfigurement (Altair losses an eye)
• Death (including of a loved one)
• Violence
• Murder (including an instance of tearing men limb from limb)
• Grief
• PTSD
Ending:HEA
