I found this to be a really unsatisfying conclusion to the series, mostly because (a) dub- or non-con is a huge ick for me and (b) I just... don't belive the emotional/romantic arc of these two men (who have wanted each other for like 20 years!?) would culminate in non-con kink porn. and ONLY non-con kink porn.
there were bits--the dramatic reveals and the extras with the juniors--I really liked! but the rest was an uncomfortable slog for me.
tldr, heed the content warnings!
