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?

I believe ships2chars split the ship tags so in case you have a fic with ship tag Harry & Severus but doesn't have character Harry and character Severus, the separated character tags will be added.
Dunno how to do the above in personal.ini but removing platonic ship tags from a custom ship column is probably something easy to do with Calibre's bulk metadata editor as a saved search.
I think this might work.
Code:
Search
.+([&].+)+
Replace
