This is really interesting! I like this solution, but I also see some drawbacks.

The first and biggest drawback is the question, will it include one of the actors but not the other? In my Time Engraver story, for example, Zhu Yilong is one of the characters, but the other is an original character only modeled on Bai Yu very loosely. This tag seems very narrow and specific, only allowing for a pairing between these two actors, whereas some might want to read stories pairing, say, Detective L with some other non-Zhu Yilong character.

I'm not tossing out the idea, especially since this has the huge advantage of being an already in-use tag, but I wonder if it's broad enough. (On the other hand, the vast majority of the time we're going to be shipping ZYL/BY, LBR. So this may be totally fine. :)
