I would like pairings separated with "&" on AO3 (eg "Harry & Severus") NOT to be included in "ships" (for purposes of my #ships custom column), but I'd still like them to be included in the Tags column.

I can easily remove the pairing from ships with replace_metadata. But I can't figure out how to do this while keeping the pairing in the tag list - if it isn't a separate tag or character, removing it from ships removes it from the tags. I thought about ships2chars, somehow putting this ship into Characters, but as far as I can tell I can't use that to accomplish what I want (though I have to admit I don't completely understand what ship2chars does and can't find much about it in default.ini or here in the forums, so I definitely could be wrong).

But I feel like there must be some way that's just out of my understanding. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
