I think I mostly agree with you. I enjoy fic best that takes into account time and place and doesn't shy away from issues the characters would realistically face. That doesn't mean I don't like fluff and happiness and escapism from time to time as well, but I generally enjoy fics that are attuned to setting.

I'm not in the Back to the Future fandom, but one example I would give to illustrate my agreement with you is the Live Free or Die Hard fandom. I've read and written my fair share of John McClane/Matt Farrell kinky yummy or silly hacker fic where John doesn't really wrestle at all with developing feelings for a man who's young enough to be his child. But my favorite story I've written is one where John just can't handle those feelings and can't bring himself to participate in a relationship with Matt. He can't get over the generation he grew up in, the homophobic environment of his workplace, the discomfort of re-negotiating his sexuality in his fifties--and they don't end up together in the end. A few other writers in the fandom (I think poisontaster and miss_pryss maybe?) have written similar takes. I wouldn't want to read or write fic like that all the time, but it definitely interests me.

Yeah, I wrote a lot of Corny/Maybelle fic in the HAirspray fandom back in the day, and it was super awk. at times. "But...everyone used the word 'negro' but if I use it won't SJWs get after me? And I want them to get married and have adorable talented mixed race babies but miscegenation laws...and what about--"

i'm 100% with this, although at this point that kind of fic is really the only kind i'll read. the adherence to canon and its characters is what makes a fic good for me beyond the general appeal of the plot. (hence, i can't stand most AUs.) it feels like i'm reading an actual story, as opposed to the soap opera-ish stuff i come across where really ridiculous shit happens and consequences seem to be random, and things either work out much worse or much better than actually makes sense.

I do enjoy AUs, but canon-compliant fics are generally my favorite and generally what I end up writing.
