#WHACKING SHIP FIC IN THE GEN CATEGORY WITH A BROOM

[altschmerzes]

i log onto ao3, i see something marked as gen fic and tagged exclusively with Character/Character tags and has “#Romance” in the additional tags section and in the description is like “some established relationship fluff!”

i look directly into the camera and sigh so hard i simply disintegrate into dust
