I don't know what fandom you're working with, OP, but this is a pretty consistent fact. A lot of people want happy endings, and a lot of canons make that impossible. Thus, AUs.

And light-hearted, whimsical canons have crazy dark depressing fic/ AUS - I'm looking at you, Psych fandom.

And when you have both, you get the completely batshit AUs! (Hi, Homestuck fandom!)

I will never forget the feeling of utter bemusement I had when I first stumbled upon Psych fic and found that so much of it was so dark.

DA

I know! Wow was that a shock.

Yeah, this is true for me. Merlin is a good example - I nearly exclusively read AUs in Merlin fic anymore. I don't like non-magical AUs - but I pretty much stick to modern AUs with magic.
