2.0

No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.

Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions

• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
• Does have the Heroines pushing the Heroes away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Nonconsensual scientific experimentation
• Torture
• I hate this term BUT dubious consent
– Essentially, the women experience increased sexual arousal due to pheromones released by their mates ensuring the women will focus foremost on sex rather than whether or not they *want* to have sex with these men that broke into their house.
– Basically, drawing real-world parallels to the situation, I would classify it as r@pe


Ending:

• Couples: HFN
• Plot: Cliffhanger
