Fandom

Troll Romance and Tagging

Both Nepeta <> Equius and Nepeta <3 Equius have been made subtags of Nepeta/Equius on Archive of our Own. Because of this, some might use Nepeta & Equius to indicate that the work depicts them as moirails instead of matesprits, even though both are considered romances in troll society.

Because of this merger, Nepeta/Equius is slightly more common. As of October 2024, there are 776 works tagged as Nepeta/Equius, 510 works tagged as Nepeta & Equius, and 67 works that use both tags.
