Exactly what the title says. Feel free to use common tags, or just what you’d personally tag your story if it was an AO3 fic
This does not have to include characters for the sake of y’alls sanity (and fingies)
Yours do not have to be as long as mine,,,, please do not fret
Also I do not have the energy to add the rest if my stories so here’s my main hyperfixations-

Sky: Fallen Light
Archive Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
AO3 Tags: Sky: Children of the Light (Video Game), Original Skykid Character(s) (Sky: Children of the Light), Alternate Universe, Alternate Canon, Mental Health Issues, War, How Do I Tag, Adoption, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Angst, Panic Attacks, Murder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Original Tags: omg it’s a baby, oops this is 3 major arcs smushed into one horrifying creation, holy shit boys he’s the Chosen One?, no beta we die like Resh’s mental health, the elders are basically ocs now, Resh is nothing like he is in the Lore, who’s lore I’ve never met her, the dove isn’t actually dead but it’s a bit mutilated, just a bit, careful boys there’s a small bit of gore, Resh has autism (help him)

Is this how you’re supposed to tag? - Sincerely someone who’s rarely on AO3 because they discovered Wattpad first

In honor of me getting some actual work done on this story, I’m rewriting the tags to be more accurate to both the story and AO3’s formatting. Enjoy! <3
