Ideally the summary should briefly tell me what it's about and give me an idea about the tone of the work. Or the summary plus the tags but not in a tag forest.
Automatic back button for an author who says they're not tagging for something because the tag would be a spoiler.
Things I don't want are summaries that only makes sense after reading the fic, no songs, no poems, this is a crap story, I suck at summaries, this is a first draft I might fix later.
If it's tagged with a bunch of dark tags, tell me about them. Tell me if the ending is ambiguous, or sad, or unhappy. Always tell me if a main character dies.
If the main pairing ends up together but just at the end, tag interim relationships.
