Marriage Proposal — Tag Meaning
Promises the question gets asked. Proposal fics are a miniature genre with infinite variants: elaborate plans derailed, rings carried for months, both partners proposing simultaneously, or the question slipping out mid-crisis. The tag guarantees the scene; the fun is in the execution.
What to Expect From "Marriage Proposal" Fics
A proposal as the emotional centerpiece — nerves, the moment itself, and the joy (or rarely, the complication) that follows.

Weddings
The canonical tag for wedding content — the central couple's big day, or a wedding as the setting where other romance ignites (the best man and the maid of honor have a long fanfic history). It covers everything from meticulous ceremony fics to chaotic comedies of catering disasters.

Marriage
The broad tag covering marriage as a story element — getting married, being married, deciding whether to marry. Authors use it when matrimony is thematically central but no narrower tag fits, from wedding-day fics to meditations on what the institution means to a particular character.

Established Relationship
Skips the courtship entirely: the couple is already together when the fic begins. Authors use it to explore what comes after getting together — domesticity, conflict, growth, or simply love in operation — territory canon and getting-together fics rarely cover. It is among the archive's most-used relationship tags.

Love Confessions
Promises the scene shipfic exists for: someone says it out loud. Confessions in fanfic come in every register — rehearsed speeches, accidental blurtations, deathbed admissions, shouted mid-argument — and the tag guarantees the fic delivers at least one, with the relationship changed by it.
