I get that. I just wish there was a way to filter out "Multi" from straight up "Gen" on AO3. It's not a huge deal but sometimes I just don't want to have to deal with romance -- I want family/friendship or bonding fics.

NAYRT and genuinely curious, where do you stand on canon pairings? Like, if Pepper and Tony are in a fic, wouldn't it be weirder to have them not acting like they're a couple than have a brief moment that acknowledges their canon couple-dom?

I totally feel you there. I'm a gen fan myself. I want tightly plotted stories with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Occasionally I want to feed my ships (I have them) but for the most part give me story any day of the week.

I'm guessing you'd be okay with background relationships so long as they aren't the focus of the story. Honestly, the best way I've found to find genfic on Ao3 is to find an author who writes the kind of stories I like and then see what they have in their bookmarks. I use the same method along with C2s on FF.net. Also there are a metric butt-ton of fics that are labelled as relationship fics that really aren't. Look for the "Slow burn" or "implied relationships" or "Background relationships" tags and that might help. Some authors also use tags to indicate if something is gen with the tag "mostly gen" meaning that there might be a relationship in there but it really isn't the focus.

Well, the "multi" tag on AO3 is such a catch all anyway that no matter what you're looking for in there, you're likely going to get a metric fuckton of stuff you aren't into. I mean it's multiple pairings (background or otherwise), poly ships, gen with background... it's a bit of a mess.
