Sometimes a family is you, your soul-bonded queerplatonic bodyguard bestie, an accidentally acquired teenager sworn to you by vow who throws his safety out the window in an earnest but ill-advised attempt to help, your literal knight in shining armor boyfriend who gently but firmly rebuffs your attempts to protect him from your lifestyle, his extremely cryptic and endearing younger brother who drops life-altering sentences on you before your morning coffee, your housekeeper who you try to get to take a day off but refuses because if she does then you all forget how to feed yourself properly, your ex-boss/patron who is literally one of the most terrifying people in the entire world but that's cool bc he's sort of maybe also kind of your surrogate dad, and HIS soul-bonded bodyguard who's not his bestie but the other half of a terrifyingly efficient super-spy team.
And then you meet FOUR OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW ALSO INEXPLICABLY PART OF YOUR FOUND FAMILY. THREE OF WHOM ARE ALSO KIDS.
Anyways the Hanged Man can choke <3

Graphic: Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Violence, Drug abuse, Torture, Suicidal thoughts, Trafficking, Blood, Fire/Fire injury, Child abuse, Death, and Slavery
Moderate: Pedophilia, Self harm, Stalking, and Kidnapping
Bombs/explosives are used to kill/maim characters, but the descriptions are not graphic. Every time the Hanged Man appears, descriptions of fatal injuries are described as it is a part of his appearance. Slashes in his clothes, gaping wounds, and blood in particular. He also pursues and has a history of pursuing minors. It is never explicitly described what he does with them in detail, but the characters do posit theories to what he does with them, some of which are very dark. The characters visit a red-light district with various degrees of corruption; consent and its lack thereof crop up frequently. Proceed with caution once they approach the Green Docks.usually_sleep_deprived's review
