Biting — Tag Meaning
A physicality tag covering bites in heated contexts — playful nips, claiming bites in creature fandoms, and vampire or werewolf mechanics where teeth mean transformation or bond. Intensity ranges from affectionate to explicitly sexual depending on rating.
What to Expect From "Biting" Fics
Expect teeth as affection or claim; in supernatural settings, expect bites to carry mechanical consequences like turning or bonding.

Love Bites
Close cousin to the hickeys tag, covering gentle biting and marking during kissing or sex as an expression of passion or claim. In creature fandoms it shades into vampire and werewolf territory, where a love bite can carry literal supernatural meaning.

Blood Drinking
The vampire act itself, tagged as a warning and an attraction: feeding scenes that the genre has always treated as intimacy by other means. Fic explores consensual feeding arrangements, hunger as metaphor, and the trust of offering a vein.

Mates
A bond mechanic from werewolf, omegaverse, and creature fandoms where two characters are matched partners — by instinct, biology, or supernatural design. Being mates carries weight beyond dating: recognition, claiming, and bonds that resist separation.

Vampires
The general vampire tag for fics featuring the undead in any capacity — canon vampires explored further, original bloodsuckers introduced, or vampire mythology imported wholesale. Fandom's vampires run the full spectrum from feral horror to tortured romantics to bureaucrats with sun allergies; the bite, as ever, is never just a bite.
