So to take an example, if you're writing an X-Files case fic where Mulder and Scully are in an established relationship from before the start of the story, I think it could be appropriate to tag both Gen and the pairing.

You want to tag Gen because the story focuses on the casefic aspect and not their relationship. You want to tag the pairing because the pairing is together in the story.

Not Gen unless it takes place during the seasons they were an official couple.

DA

Yes gen. They said established relationship from before the start of the fic, fic focuses on the case. That's a gen fic. Gen fic with background relationships aren't restricted to canon - that brings us right back around to the homophobia.

How are Mulder and Scully in homosexual relationship?

Oh, a baby fan. You don't remember that this has already been fought before. To wit, from a comment below:

I remember this argument from 20 years ago - it was mostly aimed at slash pairings, saying any background canonical couple or a background het couple (like a character's parents) can be gen because that's "normal", but a background m/m or f/f pairing can't. I have a lot of genfic from that time with background gay parents out of spite!
