Living Together — Tag Meaning
Covers the state of sharing a home — as a couple, as not-yet-a-couple, or as roommates whose arrangement is doing a lot of unexamined work. For pre-relationship pairs, enforced proximity is the engine: shared kitchens and thin walls have launched a thousand getting-togethers.
What to Expect From "Living Together" Fics
Daily proximity and its consequences. Established couples get domesticity; unestablished ones get a slow collapse of the 'just housemates' fiction.

Moving In Together
The canonical tag for the cohabitation milestone: boxes, the merging of mismatched possessions, and the quiet enormity of one address. Fanfic treats the move as the commitment ritual it is — whose mug collection survives, who gets the closet, and the first morning of waking up home.

Roommates
The shared-living setup beloved for its engineered proximity: split rent, shared fridge shelves, and no escape from each other's habits, moods, and morning appearances. As a romance engine it's relentless — domestic intimacy arrives before the relationship does, and eventually someone notices.

Domestic
The umbrella tag for home life as subject matter: groceries, shared chores, quiet evenings, the texture of building a life together. For characters whose canons are wars and apocalypses, domestic fic is a form of wish fulfillment — the radical fantasy of ordinary peace.

Sharing a Bed
The broader bed-sharing tag, covering every reason two characters end up sleeping side by side: necessity, nightmares, cold, comfort, or quiet mutual preference nobody examines too closely. Platonic or charged, the shared bed is fanfic's favorite vulnerability laboratory.
