So it's not the genre you object to, it's the characterization?
I think so. I mean, I loved many of the one-shots or longer stories that aren't case fic or serious angst, whether it's M/S making dinner or cleaning house, etc., but as far as M/S married and with a bunch of kids? That never really worked for me. Married and with William? Yes, but not where they're going to PTA meetings. I say that, but I bet there is at least one story like that that I probably read and loved.
I agree with you about happy endings needing to fit the story. "Contact High" by Penumbra is one of my favorites; it has a little bit of everything and yet that ending...it hurts.
I haven't read Kel in a long time, must go back for some rereads.
