The ones where basically people take the characters from an interesting setting, like outer space and/or the future, or a fantasy world with magic and dragons... and put them in 20th/21st century America, usually without any more plot than the two mains hooking up.

It strikes me as "I want to write shipfic but I don't want to try to write anything too unfamiliar to me so I'll do something that takes no effort".

Once or twice I've seen it done well because there was a plot that required modern-era America, or certain parallels were striking, but usually it's just stripping the fun of an exotic setting from the canon - and darnit, if I like reading a fandom's fic, it's usually at least as much about the setting as the characters.
