This is mentioned in the summary, but I want to make this perfectly clear to everyone before you begin reading. This story contains references to rape and child molestation. As of this point, I have no plans of including anything even remotely graphic, not even in flashbacks or the like, but the fact remains that this is still some uncomfortable material. If it may upset you, then by all means, click on the back button now. If you're about to flame me just for mentioning child molestation in my fiction, please wait a few chapters first. I don't think I'm taking the subject lightly, nor am I using it as a simple sympathy ploy in my plot.

It doesn't merit its own warning page, but since I already have this one, I'll also mention that this story will also contain references to male and female homosexuality. Some of these references will be slightly graphic. Nothing NC-17, of course, but probably up to PG-13 at some point. You've been warned, so please don't give me any grief over it.
