Boy, do I concur - and don't even get me started on the thousand AUs in which one character (usually Ezra) is inexplicably a young child that the rest of the seven have to look after. I've seen it done well once or twice, but...that's very much the rare exception.
You've just put me in the mood to finish up some good ol' fashioned Josiah/Ezra, complete with horses, farmers' almanacks, and late Victorian-era ideas about 'intimate friendships' between men :-)
