The tags for the stories reveal minor spoilers about the plotlines.

For the Themes & Subgenres category, 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.
