I've read some beautifully-written stuff that was entirely focused on making everyone happy for the single moment that made up "THE END," so it's not just done by bad writers. It's done by good and bad writers alike who can't handle reality, it feels more like.
But then, one of my kinks is dealing with the realities of aging in a mortal/immortal relationship and how it's all going to end and everyone will be sad and isn't it terrible so we'd best well use the time we have, so I have a lower tolerance for avoidance than most.
