So I do not have an AO3 account because I don't write fanfic that I'm willing to show anyone (though I've considered joining just to be able to do 'Original Work' for treats for exchanges that I watch), but a discussion on a friend's journal just now had me wondering about something and I went to check.

And I have discovered that while there are multiple freeform 'the dog lives' tags, there is no uniformly applied tag for "the dog doesn't die" that one can also use to find fics that include dogs that don't die.

But at least a lot of people are warning for whether or not dogs die, because that's basically the only thing I would want a concrete warning for. (Well, that and the one DNW EVER that no one ever warns for, so I accept it as something to make me DNF a thing rather than not start it.)

I have more to say about this entire comment but am stuck going to a meeting in 3 minutes so I'm just going to address the last part instead: I'm pretty sure I would actually enjoy something like that, because it's essentially taking a thing that makes my brain actively want to suicide and fixes it so that everything works well for everyone and there's no 'betrayal' or 'jealousy' notes. So essentially narrative magic!

But I still could not be surprised by it, since if it LOOKS like infidelity I won't make it to the end. XD You don't have to say anything more than "it has a good-for-you ending" though, since I will be able to figure out what you meant in context. I actually love all forms of interpersonal conflict because I think happy-fluffy relationships are boring, but have to know that things will be what my brain considers 'good' in the end to get through them -- like I'm okay if my OTP/3 breaks up so long as they get back together. That probably falls under the same lines as 'they get back together in the end' except EVERYONE gets (back) together in the end ... which is something friends usually content-note at me as just "this has an ending you will like so stick out the bad stuff." No details required!

OH I MEANT TO COME BACK AND NOTE: have you watched Sense8/are you aware of its storylines?

Cuz if not: that is straight up literally one of the (cutest, best) relationship storylines of the series.
