Yeah, I don't mind it per se, but it's so overdone in fanfic, like, people can't think of anything else to write their plots about?

And yeah, ITA about it in stuff like Star Trek.

(On the flip side, however, I find it hard to take long plotty fic set in, say, Victorian England where bigotry never comes up seriously, because in those settings it really has to be a great big fucking deal if the story involves them venturing out into society and depicts more characters than just the characters in the pairing).
