Here's a general guide to the going ratings as explained for movies but applicable for fanfic too, just swap film for the written word: Guide To Movie Ratings
Depending on the messy with regards to the Aztec culture, i.e. human sacrifice, you'll have to go with R for extreme violence, even if the rest is PG-13/T(eens). Same with WTF -- extreme violence always classifies as an R-rating, even if the rest fits in with a PG-13 rating. You could classify it as PG-13 and warn for the extreme violence bit in advance -- it's always good form to mention that.
Manhood could be rated R because of the violence, but if it's nothing extreme, you'd be okay with an NC-17 rating (not for sexual content but (mild) violence).
I have one R-rated fanfic f.e. because I have scenes with graphical violence and one suicide attempt. There's no way I'm going to rate that as PG-13 and then warn for the violence and the suicide attempt. It's R with the proper trigger warnings.
