All "noncon" fanfiction is CNC, because all the Real People involved have consented.

Who is the Practitioner in fictional fanworks?

When the Safeword is used, the scene ends immediately no matter what, which ensures the Practitioners always have the power to stop the scene for whatever reason.

One way to do it is through a list of kinks, and each Practitioner specifying which they're ok with and which they aren't.
