An episode tag is a fic that is written in response to a particular episode of the source text. While a missing scene fills a gap within an episode, an episode tag is set after its end.

In the Janeway/Chakotay part of Star Trek: Voyager fandom, episode tags and missing scenes alike were called "episode addition"[1]. In the X-Files fandom, it was known as "post-ep" fic [2].
