Women can write m/m. Men can write f/f. Asexuals can write filthy smut. Lesbians and gay men can write m/f. It's all arbitrary anyway. Who give a shit.

DAY 1 (14/11) : Alternative Prompt
You saved me, from the dangers of my mind. Your hand was the only one, that could reach me.
You also have to take into account that this room was designed to hurt Rufus physically & psychologically ( Rufus is not disabled because of the WEAPON blast, it's because of the L room lacking anything to cushion his arrival, resulting in him getting wounds you would usually get when you get into a car crash)
Even if Shinra sr had affection for him, he was still willing to hurt him as much as he could while forcing Rufus to recognize that he loved him if he want to get out, making it a form of unintentionnal gaslighting.
As silly the slide & the L room is, it portrays well how absolutely complex & messed up an abusive parent/child relationship can be. Being able to hurt people despite the fact you love them is terrifying on its own right & what make it worse is how Shinra sr conceptualized that room for his 5 y old who was trying to butter him up & was worried for him.
