Content Warnings, Trigger Warnings & Themes ▼

Content Warning (CW) — the overarching label. Signals "heads up, this book contains material some readers may find difficult."

Trigger Warning (TW) — a sub-type of CW. Content that may cause a genuine psychological or trauma response in sensitised readers (e.g. rape, suicide, child abuse, self-harm). Higher specificity, higher stakes.

Theme — structural or tonal content that shapes the reading experience but isn't trauma-adjacent (e.g. why-choose, mafia, dom/sub dynamic, age gap, insta-love).
