HOW TO INTERPRET THE TAGS

For the "Themes and subgenres" category, you may wish to note the other tags in the story to see whether platonic feelings and/or feelings of sexual attraction are featured in the story.

In a lot of the stories, platonic relationships and relationships based on sexual attraction play an equally important role – so if you see a story tagged, "friendship fiction, male/male attraction," it's not a mistake.
