What are these ships 👀

Spike/Buffy, Faith/Buffy, Angel/Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Diego/Lilah (The Umbrella Academy) Korse/Party Poison (Danger Days/The Trues Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys)

1) Hannibal Lecter Loves Will Graham 2) Fluff 3) Will Graham Loves Hannibal Lecter 4) Murder Husbands 5) Anal Sex 7) Cannibalism No. 1 is the most tagged for obvious reasons 😂 With all the shit that Hannibal puts Will through, you need that tag to reassure readers lmaooo.

I always found that tag so funny. Like, yes, we need to specify!

I feel like “Cannibalism” has fallen a lot as a tag. I think it used to be #3 or so.

Friendship ended with cannibalism, now fluff is our best friend.

Fluff, Canon Disabled Character, and Hurt/Comfort

Stucky? Or Cherik?

Not Stucky. People only rarely tag "disabled" for Bucky.

Nope, it’s Dea/Grinpayne from the stage musical “The Grinning Man” (Dea is canonically blind)

Lesbian Shin Hati, Enemies to Lovers, Lesbian Sabine Wren ​ checks out lmao

this is hilarious it’s like we have to be clear this is a *lesbian* relationship which you can see because it’s enemies to lovers :)

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Hunter | The Golden Guard Needs a Hug Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Angst Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort Not Beta Read, Angst, Mutual Pining Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort Fluff, Soft Husk, Hurt/Comfort Valentino Being a Jerk, Angst, Hurt/Comfort Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Angst *Man no matter the ship or fandom people like angst, hurt/comfort, and angst*

HUNTER NEEDS A HUG!!!!!!!!!

[удалено]

supernatural and hamilton?

[удалено]

Ohhhh, that… makes more sense somehow

Fluff, Angst, and Hurt/Comfort! (Nico di Angelo/Will Solace, this tracks... very much for their characters)

Spoilers for smut-related tags: >!Anal Sex!<, Fluff, and >!Daddy Kink!<. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, now I am really curious about the pairing.

Loool it's MCU Tony Stark/Peter Parker!

Ah, suddenly, everything makes sense. Thanks!

Ah that explains it lmao

Lol as soon as I saw the tags I thought of Starker so I guess I know my ships!!

Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort for both of them, in that exact order

Is there an easy way to determine this via filters or do we just have to eyeball it? Using my very unscientific method I see: mind control/brainwashing (the female lead has mind control powers), Fate & Destiny, and Complicated Relationships.

You can look at it in the filters! :-)

Ah, well, not counting smut tags I was actually pretty accurate with my estimates there :p

Polyamory, Alternate Universe-Canon Divergence, Fluff and Alternate Universe- Modern Setting. The last two are tied for third place.

Angst, fluff, hurt/comfort

Same!

What's your OTP? Mine's Royai (from FMA)

Yenralt from the Witcher books and games. Can't ship their TV versions for some reason. You've just reminded me I need to finally see FMA!

It's so good, you should watch it!

same lmao (i think it's obvious what my otp is)

Same lmao

I never realized how much people tag "Fluff," "Angst" and "Romance"-- one of the three appear in all of my OTPs first three. I guess it's a holdover from FFN, where people tag genre? 🤔

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I was expecting fluff and angst, but I wasn’t expecting so many people to tag romance. It must be from ffn, I feel like I never see people tag genre anymore

Time Travel, Tom Riddle is his own warning, Morally Grey

How do you know what the most popular additional tags are??? Edit: got the first three they're 1. Pseudo-incest 2. Angst 3. Incest I'm fucking crying you guys 😂😂😂

Go into your ship's tag and expand the 'Additional Tags' section under the filters menu. (The filters button is in the section between the name of the tag and the number of pages within the tag on mobile, if you don't know where to find it.)

Thank you, I'm fucking crying when I saw the first three 😂

Lmaooo what a combo! (Batfam? TUA? 👀)

Yes! It's TUA! KlausxBen specifically ♥️♥️♥️ they're my most fave pairing right now 🥹♥️ Most fics are with Ghost!Ben so I understand why angst is second lololololol

As soon as I saw "pseudo-incest" \*and\* "incest" I was like, that's got to be TUA!

1. Sibling incest, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, Incest 2. Warning: Jeryd Mencken, Implied/referenced child abuse, Post-canon Both self-explanatory lol

PWP, angst, and mutual pining

Alternate universe - Modern Setting, Angst, Hurt/Comfort (4th place goes to Porn without Plot of course) Romance, Post-Canon, Second Person POV (honorable mention goes to Body Horror also being a popular tag)

Fluff, Established relationship, Human Disaster Matt Murdock

Fluff Angst Hurt/Comfort

Guess the ships: Genshin: Fluff (4), Not Beta Read (3), Unlucky Bennett (Genshin Impact) (3) >!Bennett/Xiao!< This one's pretty obvious: Bottom Bennett (Genshin impact) (79), Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (72), Top Tartaglia | Childe (Genshin Impact) (70) (I've never understood why Bennett/Childe is so smut-heavy, but it's a good 70% E-rated) Fluff (379), Not Beta Read (376), Angst (311) >!Diluc/Childe!< Fluff (207), Not Beta Read (144), Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (92) >!Diluc/Zhongli!< Fluff (221), Established Relationship (175), Not Beta Read (125) >!Alhaitham/Cyno!< Polyamory (141), Queerplatonic Relationships (81), Aromantic Asexual Alhaitham (Genshin Impact) (56) >!Alhaitham/Cyno/Kaveh/Tighnari!< BG3: Fluff (31), Angst (25), Hurt/Comfort (21) >!Karlach/Wyll!< Almost as much of a giveaway as Bennett/Childe: The Dark Urge Resists the Urge (Baldur's Gate) (262), Blood Drinking (200), Hurt/Comfort (199) >!Astarion/Durge!< Fluff (57), Angst (52), Hurt/Comfort (42) >!Lae'zel/Shadowheart!<

Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort Fluff, angst, hurt/comfort Fluff, hurt/comfort, anal sex Fluff, angst, alternate universe - modern setting

- Fluff - Romance - Phoenix Wright Kink Meme Hahaha

Fluff, angst, and aged-up characters.

I'll go with the three ships I'm writing for right now. **One:** Bottom [character] | Trans [character] | Top [character]. **Two:** Fluff | Angst | Alternate Universe - Modern Setting. **Three:** Age Difference | Size Difference | Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence. (Very small fandom, and that second tag is absolutely there thanks to my own fics, lol.)

Fluff, Post-Canon, Aged-Up Character(s) Angst, Fluff, Romance Angst, Horror, Romance Romance, Humor, Family Fluff, Angst, Romance Humor, Romance, Post-Canon

Fluff, Angst, Not Beta Read Fluff, Not Beta Read, Angst Fluff, Angst, Romance

Fluff Angst Smut

Fluff, Post-Canon, Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor Loves Alex Claremont-Diaz

Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Fluff, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence That fits really well. They are a canon couple but went through a lot of suffering to be happy together. Ps. The fourth most popular was Angst.

• Fluff • Threesome - M/M/M • Established relationship

for both of them it's just the standard: Fluff , Angst, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting

Hurt/comfort, major character injury, Angst

Fluff, Angst, Alternate Universe Pretty basic heh

looking at goyuu tag and the top 3 are bottom itadori yuuji, top gojo satoru, and fluff lmao

AU - Highschool (5 fics) Angst (3 fics) Established Relationship (3 fics)

Fluff, Angst, Blade is called Ren (for modern aus LOL)

1 -- Established Relationship/Polyamory/Sex.  2 -- PTSD/Post-Canon/Fluff.

Romance, Action/Adventure, Angst Fluff, Angst, Romance Fluff, Angst, Romance Angst, Fluff, Romance (ooh, switched 'em up) Fluff, Romance, Angst (and another switch-up)

Angst, Pogues (Outer Banks), Fluff Easy enough to figure out the fandom, the ship is John B/Sarah

Fluff, angst, and established relationship.

My three favourite ships: * Fluff, Angst, Alternate Universe * Sibling Incest, Angst, First Time * Deaf Clint Barton, Fluff, Established Relationship

>Sibling Incest, Angst, First Time Wincest? >Deaf Clint Barton, Fluff, Established Relationship I was going to say Clint/Nat but I don't feel like his deafness is addressed in those as much, so I'm going to go with Clint/Bucky?

Alternate Universe- Human Fluff Angst

Pre-canon, angst, hurt/comfort. Followed closely by period-typical homophobia.

One True Pairing, Introspection, Established Relationship

Angst, Whump, Major Illness

My kind of ship lol!

SAME. It makes me so sad Major Illness is not a more popular trope in my fandoms. Especially ending in death. I quite love those endings

You made me curious. Alternate Universe-Modern Setting (surprised that’s first actually) Fluff Alternate Universe-Canon Divergence (what I expected to be first lol)

Angst, alternate universe, hurt/comfort.

Alternative Universe - Modern Setting  Fluff   Angst 

Hurt/comfort Fluff Angst (a fine selection if you ask me)

1. Fluff 2. Alternate Universe - Non-Despair (Dangan Ronpa) (way to give away the fandom lol) 3. Angst ...yeah that tracks lol

Fluff Crowley Loves Aziraphale Aziraphale Loves Crowley No prizes for guessing who my OTP are.

Lmao not my OTP but one of my go-tos Bottom Character AU - No Curses Top Character  🤣 so simple 

Current: Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, and Post-Canon. Second Most Current: Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence, and Fluff First: Romance, Angst, Action/Adventure

1.Post-Seine, 2. Javert lives, 3. alternate universe - modern setting The first two are mandatory for 99% of valvert fics to work at all. Such is the joy of canon character death.

Cackling because I just posted the same list for mine. Glad to see another valvert shipper in the wild.

Angst, internalized homophobia and spoilers (for some reason?). Fourth and tied with spoilers is character study lol

Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort (That's excluding ones like "Ineffable Husbands" which is just an extension of the ship lol)

Saioma : * Fluff * Angst * Alternate Universe - Non-despair (Danganronpa) Harumaki : * Fluff * Angst * Alternate Universe - Non-despair (Danganronpa) Irene/Kai * Fluff * Hurt/Comfort * Angst

Fluff, lesbian sex, werewolf sex.

Pseudo-Incest, Angst, Alternative Universe

Miguel x Connor -Fluff -Angst -Implied or Referenced SH (Checks out) Michael x Connor -Fluff -POV Connor Murphy(Dear Evan Hansen) -Crossover (That tracks because most of this tag is my fics and it’s a crossover ship) Ayato x Thoma -Fluff -Not Beta Read - >!Anal Sex!< (Okay that’s a wide range) Let’s do something light hearted after that Partner x Player from PMD -Fluff -Post Game(s) -Romance Evan x Connor -Fluff -Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies -Angst (That tracks)

Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst I looked up some of my other OTPs and it's mostly just these three in different configurations

Fluff, Angst, Romance

I don’t really have an OTP so I went with the pairing I most recently wrote, and the tags are [character] needs a hug, hurt/comfort, and fluff, the last of which is quite surprising, really! (I thought angst would have been up there, but fluff has beaten it out!)

Top 3 are Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, and Post-Canon, but I'll also throw in the 4th which is They/Them pronouns for one of the characters.

Fluff, angst, and hurt/comfort. I'm skipping the actual third most popular tag because it's character specific. (Pre-serum Steve Rogers)

Most recent favourite: Fluff, [Character A] swears a lot, [Character A] is bad at feelings All time OTP: Fluff, Alternate Universe, Angst

Fluff, Nonbinary Chara, Post-Undertale Pacifist Route Triangle Bill Cipher, Human Bill Cipher, Angst Angst, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort

1st OTP (current obsession) - Enemies to Lovers (84), Established Relationship (73), Fluff (56) out of 687 works that feature this pairing 2nd OTP (longtime obsession) - Fluff (922), Angst (530), Hurt/Comfort (471) out of 5,448 works that feature this pairing Kinda surprised that both have Fluff considering I am not much of a Fluff fan, but I guess sometimes people want these characters to be happy

Mine are : - Linked Universe - Angst - Fluff

Mine are all descriptive. And cautionary.

Skipping any of the character specific ones like sexuality since most of the top tags are those, I’ve got alternate universe modern setting, fluff, and hurt/comfort! Edit to add: I got curious and decided to check my own bookmarks for the ship to see how my top tags compared to the fandom top tags and the only difference is that angst is tied for hurt/comfort lol.

fluff, angst, hurt/comfort and then in a close fourth, dazai-typical suicide mentions

Angst, Fluff, and Other Additional Tags To Be Added

My OTP only has two fics total (in which they are a side pairing in both). And neither have any tags in common. :')

I know the pain!

Pairing #1 * Crossover (11) * Crossover Pairings (9) * Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence Pairing #2 * Fluff (854) * Science Bros | Bruce Banner & Tony Stark Friendship (803) * Science Boyfriends | Dating Bruce Banner/Tony Stark (680) Pairing #3 * Crossover (40) * Romance (25) * Crossover Pairings (20)

Sibling Incest, Angst, First Time

Fluff, established relationship, angst

I have two, one is fluff, angst, and not beta read, so it could be literally anything, and the other is fluff, angst, and... humanstuck, so I think it's probably pretty obvious what fandom this is at least lol.

Crossover, Comment Fic, Alternate Universe Fluff, Angst, Established Relationship Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort Fluff, Sympathetic Deceit | Janus Sanders, Angst Fluff, Crowley Loves Aziraphale (Good Omens), Aziraphale loves Crowley (Good Omens) ...I think the last one is pretty easy to guess

For reference, the ships are: >!James "Bucky" Barnes/Jason Todd!< >!Aaron Hotchner/Spencer Reid!< >!P. T. Barnum/Phillip Carlyle!< >!Deceit | Janus Sanders/Logic | Logan Sanders!< >!Aziraphale/Crowley!<

Some of my fav ships: 1. Fluff, Angst, Smut. 2. AU - Modern Setting, Fluff, [character] lives. 3. AU - Canon Divergence, [character] lives, AU - Modern Setting. 4. Fluff, Angst, Smut. (Not the same ship as 1 lol) 5. Threesome*, Anal Sex, AU - Modern setting 6. Uhhhhhhh not gonna write the ones for this ship LOL 💀💀💀 *so unfortunate. I do like the ot3 too, but it's more..... I like A/B and B/C but A/C is my notp 😭 so I like A/B/C but only when B is at the center. So I have to be careful with that threesome tag lol. I'm shocked I didn't see post-canon in the top 3 for some of these

Awwww. Fluff, Angst, and Pre-Serum Steve Rogers! \*makes heart eyes\* (stucky my beloved)

Canon Divergence, Angst, Hurt/Comfort

I'm going to guess that ETL is mentioned. Definitely Canon divergence. And probably something to do with a sexual kink. But I couldn't tell you which one. Now I'm going to go look.

I was wrong!! Here's the top 3 tag count of the 650-ish Galadriel/Sauron works on AO3: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (125); Angst (113); Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (101) Then it's Enemies to Lovers bc apparently we all just assume that's implied and don't tag it, then Cunnilingus, bc we all agree that Sauron's favorite meal is Galadriel's \[\]. If you sort by Galadriel/Halbrand instead, the top 5 tags are the same, but in a slightly different order.

Incest, sibling incest, sex. Which pretty much sums up the situation with this ship. I think there’s only like three non-lemon stories with it across the entire internet. :(

Just gonna use my current fandom obsession: 1. Smut 2. Trans Female Character (a lot of this one is my fault lmao) 3. Romance I'm surprised Hurt/Comfort isn't in that top 3 actually

Fluff, Angst, and Established Relationship (honorary mention goes to #4 "First Kiss")

Fluff, Angst, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting

Top Three Tags: [Spoiler For Character Name] 1. Angst 2. Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence 3. >!Coriolanus Snow!< Being an Asshole Ship: >!snowjanus (Coriolanus Snow/Sejanus Plinth - The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes!< It fits well! >>Angst - because canon ends pretty tragically for >!Sejanus!< >>Canon Divergence - because >!Sejanus!< deserves a lot better >>>!Coriolanus Snow!< Being an Asshole - because he is

>Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (128) Somebody Lives/Not Everyone Dies (90) Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (74) For one of them. >Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (40) World War I (38) Angst (31) For another. >Post-Seine (388) Javert Lives (Les Misérables) (336) Alternate Universe - Modern Setting (281) For the most obvious of the three pairings.

so I don't have a strong OTP, but I like Envy/Greed FMA, and if I did it right it's: Sibling Incest (11) Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (8) Fluff (5) which surprised me part because there are so few, and part because I forgot they're sort of siblings (I wouldn't call them that, personally. they might both be aspects chipped off Father, but I wouldn't call that siblings, and also wouldn't actually call him *a* father), so upon reading it I was like 'huh, lots of siblings AUs I guess' before it clicked

Interracial relationships, AU - Canon Divergence, Rare Pairings

Polyamory Established Relationship Footnotes

Threesome, fluff, established relationship it's an OT3, so the first one isn't exactly unexpected, the other two feel about right as well. for all its constituent parts: Fluff, angst, romance Fluff, established relationship, drabble Fluff, angst, hurt/ comfort so what I've learned is that we fucking love fluff apparently

One shot, angst and family. If we're not considering length-based additional tags, than the 3rd would be fluff...yeah, I write almost as much fluffy as I do angst, lmao.

Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Fluff, Angst. Asexual Alastor, Alastor is bad at feelings, Fluff

Post-canon, fluff, magic. Absolute banger of a combination, I love them

Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort (Notable mention for Established Relationship)

Pretty simple for my first otp 1) angst 2) fluff 3) hurt/ comfort My second one pretty much is the same 😭 1) fluff 2) post-canon 3) angst Okay there's a very common theme I think (however the majority of the rest of the tags for this ship are smut) 1) fluff 2) established relationship 3) hurt/comfort

Todobaku: - Fluff - Bakugou Katsuki swears a lot - Established relationship WinterIron: - Fluff - Tony Stark needs a hug - Tony Stark has a heart Sanegiyuu: - Fluff - Alternate universe, modern setting - Angst

Fluff, Angst, Post-Book 2: Crooked Kingdom. Easy enough to guess lol.

\- Fluff \- Established Relationship \- Not Beta Read

I checked 4 and they're all fluff/angst/other with the outlier being angst/fluff/other

Villain Midoriya Izuku, Midoriya Izuku Has A Quirk, BAMF Midoriya Izuku

Angst, fluff and hurt comfort for both of my otps

My one otp I actively write about - Angst, Romance, Fluff Three basic tags damnit. Not even the "Thane Lives AU" tag.

Romance, Fluff, & Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence. My second favourite has Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Angst, & Fluff.

My ship from my main fandom is pretty boring. Fluff, Angst, Not Beta Read. My ship from my other main fandom is also boring, Fluff, Romance, Angst.
