This story contains heavy angst and many references to sexual abuse, incest, and dysfunctional families. There will be sexual content, and I will try my best to add warnings for individual chapters as required (please let me know if you feel warnings need to be added!); some of the warnings are about good things, just because I wanted to make it cheerier or because sometimes I think I'm funny.

This is a modern-setting AU and an Alpha/Beta/Omega 'verse fic, and there will be many references to that and related issues. Devil's Fruits feature as superpowers people are spontaneously born with. Please don't read if you're not interested.

Many (very) minor edits have been made to the chapters and more will probably be made as I think of them. Mostly this is additional warnings. Bigger changes will be shown by an update warning at the beginning of the chapter.

This story has already been uploaded to AO3 and can be found there under the same name. Check there for additional warnings and issues if you feel mine prior to the chapters are inadequate!

Warnings for this chapter: Sexual abuse, incest, angst


Lucci allows his grandfather to unbuckle his belt and open his fly, guilt, shame, and disgust at his surrender burning sharp paths in his mind as his erection is freed. He watches Law's punishment from the corner of his eye; his friend doesn't make a sound, but the tiny tremors of his shoulders tell him he's sobbing silently. Lucci doesn't blame him – his uncle looks murderous as he shoves himself inside the tense, unwilling body underneath him. Lucci admires his friend's bravery and will to rebel, but he can't help but wonder if the tiny victories really are worth the pain of the punishment to Law. Or perhaps it's only a part of Law's multi-faceted self-destructive behaviour.
