Huh. I don't think I did that for Tragic Past. The parental violence I can even cite as canonical, given the Pensieve scene... and the Lucius/Severus chan, while it could have been PROSECUTED as rape, was presented more in the light of "I was a child, I was in love, it was wrong and you knew it" rather than any sense of violence.

And if you ask Severus, even now, he'll insist that although of course it was wrong of Malfoy to do it, he wanted it, dammit.

Because that makes him feel like it was at least slightly under his control.

I tried, you see.
