Fangirling is so difficult

the_deep_magicOk, poll time. I just wrote a fic where the (hopefully humorous) twist is finding out which character in the pairing tops. Because it's a surprise, I didn't tag for it on AO3, but now I'm getting comments saying I should add a tag so people who like that dynamic can find it more easily, and people who don't like it can avoid... getting a nasty surprise, I guess?
Me, I don't think I've ever had a slash ship where I care very strongly about which character tops, as long as its at least somewhat plausibly written. So it didn't even occur to me that anyone would be put off by it. But I guess some people are. My instinct is to just leave it as it is and let people deal -- I don't see it as potentially triggering (there's no D/s involved or anything), and I don't want to ruin the surprise. But I'm open for input:
