I can use include/exclude metadata to get rid of any extraneous stuff, so that's not a problem. I just need to know if there's a way to move individual items from one entry name to another (maybe using regex in an if/then kind of way, like replace_metadata, but more comprehensive).

Normalizing metadata from different sites is always going to be an uphill battle. But because an eFiction site(like wraithbait) generally only has so many 'tags', it's not a sisyphean task like it is on AO3.

This is how I would approach it:

[www.wraithbait.com]
## First, you may as well use the same metadata names.  
## Then you can use [defaults] to set them to cust columns.
## (ships is always defined)
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,freeformtags,ao3categories

## make sure you can see the changes on titlepage for testing:
add_to_titlepage_entries:,freeformtags,ao3categories,ships

## second, put a copy of the data you want in each:
## '.NOREPL' tells the system to *not* apply the source metadata's
## in/exclude/replace_metadata -- Only works on include_in_ lines.
## That prevents problems with recursion loops.
include_in_ships:category.NOREPL
include_in_ao3categories:category.NOREPL
include_in_freeformtags:category.NOREPL,genre.NOREPL

## then use include and exclude to limit what's in each.
## (https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/InExcludeMetadataFeature)
## (since I had to look it up myself)
## pre vs post will only matter if you have replace_metadata lines that
## operate on ships, ao3categories or freeformtags.
include_metadata_post:
# assume ships (and only ships) have '/' in them.
 ships=~/
 ships==Other Pairings
 ships==Other Male Pairings
 ao3categories==Slash Pairings
 ao3categories==Ship Pairings
 ao3categories==Threesomes and Moresomes

exclude_metadata_post:
# presumably, exclude everything that is included in ships or ao3categories
 freeformtags=~/
 freeformtags=~Pairings
 freeformtags==Threesomes and Moresomes

This works for me, with the two examples given at least. You can add more lines or conditionals to the include/excludes to fine tune as needed.
