's funny: I'm all for 'shippy stories, but when it comes to tags, especially tags right after the episode has aired, I like them to be gen too. It's as if most 'shippy tags seem to be simplifying what happened, or changing the focus.

Well, my default setting is gen anyway *g*, but I think you've nailed why I almost invariably prefer gen tags/missing scenes to shippy ones. I think for me, tags are a way of working through the issues in that particular episode or bringing closure to it, and revisiting the events of the episode from a shippy perspective is not why I read tags. (I understand that a lot of people want that sort of re-imagining from a tag. It's just, I don't.)

I just ran across a good one here.
