1. In the fandoms I’m in, the majority of fix-it fics do take canon into account. They acknowledge canon and then find a way to interpret it or spin it or add to it so that it sucks less is more to the author’s liking.

2. I like fix-it fics well enough, but I prefer when fic writers just ignore canon entirely, or spend a couple sentences hand-waving something away and leave it at that. Like, I don’t need 5K explaining how Tony Stark came back to life. Just tell me he came back, give me a general sense of how long he was dead for, and we’re good. I also don’t require a 100K fix-it for Steve bailing at the end of Endgame. I’d really prefer he just never did the thing in the first place.

But ymmv and that's cool.

I agree with #2.

The "explaining how Tony Stark came back to life" fics (or rather the equivalent in other fandoms, since I've never read MCU fic) usually aren't well-written since they're the kind of thing people bang out early on when the pain is still fresh.

In fic, I prefer that if the writer didn't like that an event occurred, either set the story wholly before that event, diverge from canon before that event so it never happened, or so the "just tell me he came back" thing and move on.
