Dark Past BaggagesTrauma in ◥✤BL✤◤

[Mostly contains drama ranging from light to heavy.]

Trauma, being a rape victim,  physical abuse. COPING plus situations where seme/uke discovers their dark secret. 
Is the partner ready to take on the responsibility?

PS: (I have preference for healing love, Let's avoid rape fetishizing this time, even if just for this list.)
