Not only are aversions not notable, but I don't think it would even apply if he did rape her, since they're not really married. I do think Questionable Consent counts, though, as even the author admits it.


* MaritalRapeLicense: To Tarrlok's credit, he explicitly averts this. He doesn't have sex with Korra until their relationship significantly improves and Korra clearly gives him her definite consent, which he constantly checks for.



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone

to:

* MyGodWhatHaveIDoneMyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once Tarrlok sees the desperation that he's driven Korra to during captivity, he's horrified at how he's turned out so much like his father and tries to improve his treatment of her. He gets a second instance of this when he finally understands [[spoiler:thanks to a verbal dressing-down from Yue]] that forcing Korra to stay with him in hiding will never result in a healthy relationship.



* {{Patricide}}: See SelfMadeOrphan

to:

* {{Patricide}}: See SelfMadeOrphanTarrlok is revealed to have killed his father in this fic.



* QuestionableConsent: Even though their relationship had drastically improved and already developed into a romantic one by this point, when Tarrlok and Korra sleep together it is still essentially an older man sleeping with a seventeen-year-old girl that he's been holding prisoner for months, and whom he'd previously bloodbended into submission multiple times beforehand when they were still hostile to each other. Korra is herself only going through with it, despite not being ready for such a step, because she hopes the closer intimacy that results will help convince Tarrlok to let her go. Tarrlok, who isn't aware that this is Korra's true intention, does at least try to make sure that this is really what Korra wants and makes clear that she doesn't have to sleep with him if she doesn't want to.



* StockholmSyndrome: Korra is developing this.

to:

* StockholmSyndrome: Korra is developing this.develops this over the course of the fic. Although she never stops desiring to escape, she becomes sympathetic to Tarrlok after learning about his backstory of abuse and sharing more civil moments with him.


Added DiffLines:

* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: Early on Tarrlok is continually frustrated and angry about how rebellious Korra is in captivity, trying to make a point about how he hasn't treated her ''that badly'' as a captor. In one particular instance, he briefly tortures her with bloodbending--including implying that he could use his bloodbending to make her [[ImpliedRape sleep with him]] if he wanted--to make the point that since he ''doesn't'' do those things, she should be grateful to him.
