Here's looking at you, fics that claim to be both Scott/Stiles and Derek/Stiles but are actually Scott/Stiles breaking up (because Scott is a big meanie head!) and Stiles running into the loving arms of Derek.

JUST DON'T FUCKING TAG THIS SHIT SCOTT/STILES OKAY FANDOM????

...wait why did that post anonymously, that is my comment. :\

[kaijinscendre]

I have been running into this. :(

[nan]

It's pretty frustrating!

[lirren]

Oh, god, the number of times I've run into that makes me want to scream. It's so annoying.

Danny/Stiles is bad for this too. Their relationship is always to lead up to the sterek.

I've basically given up on Danny/Stiles fic for this reason. The worst isn't the stories that tag both Derek/Stiles and Danny/Stiles, because I know what I'm getting into there. The worst is the stories that only tag Danny/Stiles, but still break them up at the end and/or make it obvious that Danny's and Stiles's relationship is just a stepping stone on the way to Stiles's true forever love Derek.

And I even ship Derek/Stiles! Just, you know, not exclusively, and not if it's gonna make Danny sad.

Sometimes if you're lucky the summary gives it away. But sometimes they make the summary as vague as possible, like they totally want X/Y shippers to click on this fic in which X is an abusive douchebag and Y falls in love Z.

[nan]

Yeah, it definitely feels like that sometimes. It's such a dick move.

I think that they should tag the pairing, if it's included in the fic. Not everyone likes to be surprised by pairings they hate, even if it's only for one chapter. Just tag it as endgame or break-up fic.

[nan]

If only they tagged it with endgame or breakup fic because I definitely not like being surprised by clicking a link and realizing a fic tagged with my ship is actually shitting all over said ship. It sucks. But yeah, if they tagged for it, that would be pretty great.

When this has happened to me, the writer has sometimes got annoyed with comments about how disappointed the readers are that their OTP has been broken up for good in the story. I think they feel that as readers we aren't entitled to anything and as long as they tag if there's another partner, then that's OK.

My problem with this is that I don't have time. I'm just not interested in working through a fic, especially a long one, or WIP that I stick with, just for it to end with my OTP split up. I can be getting on with other fics, or even reading one of the many real life books on my list. Fanfic serves a comfort read purpose, I have no interest in reading it for literary merit.

I'd rather something like that be included in the "additional tags" section or the notes rather than in the actual relationship tag section

That Sterek is pretty much a crack ship in canon makes it 295389349x worse.

SCREW YOU TAGGERS.
