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.
And then he talks like no small child ever talked (the mock lisp speech makes me run away screaming like mock dialect does too) and is all cute and angsty and nobody has to deal with the actual angst and character development that Ezra goes through on the show. Because that would be Bad and too much hard work when you can write cutesypie pap and get your ego stroked for doing so. Or something. ;)
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 :-)
