Warning: This story is actually pretty SFW in my opinion, but apparently things like violence and gore are NSFW? It really depends on the site. This one doesn't seem to be that strict about it. If you're expecting a lot of sex scenes and cursing, this story probably isn't for you. I know, the name of the story is The Cursed Words, but unless the word 'shit' is extremely offensive to you, I don't think it qualifies as cursing. However, there are a lot of mature themes. When it comes to the Genre, the story is pretty Tragic, but I wouldn't call it a 'Tragedy'. Anyway, I also had no idea what I was doing with the Tags.
