but I can't avoid the episode tags without avoiding the fandom ... *wails*)
I know! Especially since you just don't know what a fic will turn out to be, whether it will be what you dreaded or a wonderful surprise. You don't know until you read (which is usually the part where people will say to stick with the authors you know. But being a fandom of an ongoing show, that means new authors coming out of the woodworks what feels like all the time, and you never know when an author will pop up that writes exactly the kind of stories you're looking for).
but this is one show where I really do trust the writers to have the characters' best interests at heart
Yes, same here. This show is wonderful about keeping things as they are even in the face of major plot changes. They've been awesome about keeping it fresh without sacrificing what we love about the show. I find it makes the cliffhangers easier to handle, because I know that whatever happens it's going to work out.
And I cannot wait to see what the new story arc is. I've adored how this show leads from one thing to another, and that it's not just each season we get change but each half season, so you never really know what's around the corner *dances around in giddy glee*
