If the baseline is one of the guys is a mafioso and the other is a spy and they both kill than the thing that is expected of any sane person is for there to not be rape between the lead pair.
PLEASE tell me you genuinely think not having a person rape their love interest is a tall ask? And this is fucking rich there’s plenty of other m/m mafia related media where the mafioso does not rape their eventual partner. Do you know why? Because most writers and creators understand that rape creates a trauma bond and deep hatred that is realistically very difficult to overcome to get a hea/hfn.
‘Well he’s a murderer why are you guys expecting him to not also be a rapist’ is a crazy take. He’s the love interest.

It still doesn’t surprise me. I hate it to my core when there’s rape involved in any story, but I just find it funny that people are acting surprised and disappointed, I saw it coming a mile away. I knew now to not expect too much in toxic and psychopath tops, besides, this is not a typical story from the start
Noooooo the red candy legacy has been tainted by this dogshit
Me when the toxic sexy ml isn’t toxic in the right way: >:(
Like be possessive and controlling and a murderer all you want, but then they bring in rape or cheating and it’s like wtf man my perfect salad just got a squirt of ketchup in it
