Touch, by Rhythm, is an Urban Fantasy Web Serial Novel centered around James Toranaga, a young boy who, following an incident of sexual assault, develops the ability to fly.The story follows James and a small group of those around him as they attempt to come to terms with the trials and tribulations of emotional recovery in a world where weirdness is hiding just behind the veil.While technically an action story, the plot focuses heavily on themes of psychological harm and recovery, and the consensus of reviews received on the Web Fiction Guide seems to be that the true strength of the piece is in its realistic and compelling characters. That said, more recent chapters have been leaning a little more into the action side of things.Trigger Warning: From chapter one, Touch deals with some pretty heavy themes, such as sexual assault and abuse, and a trigger warning is issued to any prospective readers. While it is generally regarded as handling the subjects responsibly, its degree of honesty means that it tends not to shy away from subjects that certain readers may find difficult.For the 2015 novel by Claire North see Touch (2015) | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
| Touch (2017) / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Father is a twisted pedophile and slaver, but he's also incredibly powerful, willing to fight to defend Earth, and took out one of the entities that threatened Earth several years ago. That makes him valuable enough that those in the know are willing to grit their teeth and put up with him. | |

Parents as People | |
| Touch (2017) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Peter and Sarah are Good Parents, but especially early on they're kind of out of their depth about how to help James through his recent trauma. On the darker side of this trope, many otherwise decent parents seem to believe that it's okay to abuse your kids just enough to give them a Traumatic Superpower Awakening. Peter, who got this from his own parents, outright says that good intentions don't excuse child abuse. | |

Was It Really Worth It? | |
| Touch (2017) / int_2c27353f | comment |
Was It Really Worth It?: Casper's father beat him to activate his magic. On the one hand, this gave Casper powers that saved his life and helped him escape multiple dangerous situations- Casper admits it himself. On the other hand, it also nearly destroyed Casper and Ray's relationship, did destroy Ray and Linda's marriage and Ray thinks it wasn't worth it despite knowing that it saved his son's life. | |

Leonine Contract | |
| Touch (2017) / int_2c98f475 | comment |
Leonine Contract: After Casper runs away from home, James' family takes him in. Casper later reveals that he cut a deal with Father- a few hours of Casper's time a week in exchange for food, money and a place to stay if he needs it. The Toranagas are understandably upset by this, and Casper responds by saying that all offers of help have strings attached- at least with Father, he knows where all the risks are. A commenter pointed out, and Rhythm confirmed, that Casper is fully aware that if they wanted to, the Toranagas and Tasha could stop helping him and he'd be stranded. In contrast, the combination of Father being so eager to win Casper over and Casper's resistance to Father's power means that it's the one option where Casper feels like he has the upper hand in the relationship. | |

Cool-Down Hug | |
| Touch (2017) / int_2fd1d68a | comment |
Cooldown Hug: Subverted, as this isn't always the best thing to do to a traumatized child. In two occasions someone (Casper, then Hideyoshi) tries this on James when he's not paying attention, and the sudden feeling of being trapped causes him to lash out on instinct. | |

Power Tattoo | |

Power Tattoo: Inverted, as Caleb's tattoo is actually a Power Limiter\Power Nullifier that his masters use to keep him in line. It could drain his magic to death if he tried to escape from them. Played straight with familiars: magical beings that are bonded to an individual become a tattoo on that indivudal. | |

Ambiguous Gender: Goblins. Apparently even Casper isn't able to determine their genders. Eventually it's revealed that they don't have any. In general, Casper's power can tell him the gender of whomever he's sensing, but it's not foolproof; he thought Tasha was a boy the first time that he sensed her. | |

Rape as Backstory: James in a rare male example of the trope. Justified in that the story is largely about different ways of learning to deal with trauma. The experience eventually led to his Traumatic Superpower Awakening, and essentially functions as the opening line of the story. | |

Forced to Watch: One way to trigger someone's Traumatic Superpower Awakening is to hurt someone they love and make them watch it. Casper's father hit his mother for this reason. Seventeen and Eighteen were forced to manifest when their captors tied them to chairs and beat one while making the other watch. | |

Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality | |
| Touch (2017) / int_77cd56b3 | comment |
Paralyzing Fear of Sexuality: James' views about sex are understandably negative after being raped. In the first chapter he specifically says that he never wants to have sex again, and when Casper notices him feeling infatuated he gets angry, saying that sexual thoughts are "gross." In a meditation scene in arc 6, he reflects on why he's "scared of liking guys" and determines that it's because "butt stuff" will always hurt. When his inner self remarks that grownups like it, he says that he'll never ask anyone how it can feel good, to which his inner self agrees. | |

They're not above kidnapping innocent children and forcing them into service, either. | |

Precision F-Strike: While most of the characters cuss fairly frequently, James is rather shocked when Peter says "fuck" in relation to Abusive Parents like Caspar's, and then feels very adult when Peter permits him to say it himself. (James then chickens out of repeating it in front of his friends.) In therapy, James is asked for four words that he would choose to describe his rapist. He selects "liar," "meanie," "pervert" and (quietly) "asshole," then apologizes for cussing. | |

Internal Reveal | |

Internal Reveal: James eventually reveals that he was raped to Tasha and Casper, the latter of whom more or less knew due to his power. Caleb and Hideyoshi find out by accident, when Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing causes James to lose his patch. After MANY CHAPTERS of the adult and kid characters hiding their magic from each other, James eventually shows his powers to Hideyoshi and his parents. | |

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing | |
| Touch (2017) / int_d238fd9d | comment |
Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: James gains the power to transform his whole body to air, which makes him a lot more powerful, but also leaves him naked when he reforms. He tries to avoid using this for a while, though he comes to love how strong it makes him. James ends up going through the portal to the magical world in his air form, leaving him naked once he and Charlie escape from Sebastian. Afterwards, he seeks out Bors, defeats him, and demands his jacket. Also Played for Drama a bit: while he learns to quickly hide and dress in private, he forgets about the patch on his face, causing Caleb, Hideyoshi and Cody to see his Mark of Purity. | |
