i’m pretty sure i’ve had a very similar experience looking for the exact same ship tbh. people putting ot3 fics on couple tags on ao3 pisses me off so much.))
//I don’t really get why they do it?? Because if a certain character is doing sexual things to another, I feel like that should be tagged as a ship. Because people who DON’T ship that pairing will NOT want to read that/should be given fair warning what’s in store for them. And if they’re not tagged and only my otp is tagged as a couple, I click. S1 was far worse, IMO, because Hannibal was ALWAYS there, and it’s like please, for the love of God, go AWAY. YOU’RE RUINING IT. xP Even if he was just there to watch/instruct, I thought it was gross. Like, BEAT IT. YOU’RE HARSHING MY MELLOW.
I found a way to weed out both of those ships, but I was inspecting one of the tags since for some weird reason, it excluded a drabble based on the S3 promo. And I was mad, cuz I don’t want to miss anything like that. It was my own dumb fault for going into “the jungle,” so to speak, because I was curious what else I might’ve missed.
