Outer Space
A setting tag for stories that take place beyond atmosphere — aboard stations, in EVA suits, or adrift between stars. It covers canon space fandoms and AUs alike, trading on the void's twin registers: wonder and isolation.

Spaceships
Stories where the ship itself is home, character, and setting — the Enterprise, the Millennium Falcon, or an original freighter with a personality and a leaky coolant line. Shipboard fic thrives on confined quarters, engine-room intimacy, and crews as found family.

Action/Adventure
The canonical tag for fic where physical stakes drive the plot — fights, chases, quests, missions. It signals that the author invested in external conflict and set pieces, not just interpersonal drama, and it is often the home of long, ambitious plotty fic.
