Vomiting — Tag Meaning
A canonical tag applied as a courtesy to emetophobic readers whenever a character throws up, whether from illness, drink, poison, or horror. Its existence reflects AO3 tagging culture's attentiveness to specific phobias.
What to Expect From "Vomiting" Fics
At least one emetic scene, usually brief. Readers with this phobia can exclude the tag and trust it is applied widely.

Sickfic
A whole subgenre built on one premise: a character gets sick and someone takes care of them. Colds, flu, fevers, and stomach bugs are the classics, with the illness functioning as a trust exercise — the sick character must accept help, and the caretaker gets to show devotion through soup, blankets, and worry.

Drunkenness
A canonical tag for scenes where a character is actively drunk, played for comedy, vulnerability, or honesty depending on the work. Drunken confessions and morning-after embarrassment are its classic story beats.

Poisoning
Introduces toxin as plot: assassination attempts, slow doses discovered late, antidote races, and the particular horror of harm that arrives in a teacup. Fanfic favors the configurations that generate devotion — the taste-tester, the character who takes the poisoned cup meant for someone else, the bedside chemistry of an antidote arriving with seconds to spare.

Illnesses
A canonical tag for sickness of the ordinary and serious kinds alike, from flu-season misery to undiagnosed dread. It overlaps with sickfic but reads more as disclosure than as genre promise.
