Established relationship refers to a genre of fanfic in which the characters focused upon are assumed (or specifically stated) to be romantically involved when the story starts. This tag is often applied to works where the two characters are not canonically in a relationship, and there works would be AUs.
Established relationship fics are the polar opposite of first time fics, and many readers prefer one over the other.

- has time re-written every line[5] by kellifer_fic for oxoniensis, Derek/Stiles, No, dad. Listen to what I'm saying. Yesterday, I was eighteen. I'm not speaking metaphorically, or about the way I feel or whatever. I was eighteen, we lived in the house on Maple, the last conversation we had was about how fries didn't count as a vegetable and I, uh, wasn't married.
