I can totally identify with the feeling of liking a pairing but just not liking what fandom is mostly doing with it. I'm not sure if it's always that authors feed off each other so dominant views start to come up, but if you get a lot of people writing you do tend to see certain versions you can identify. If you don't like the most common ones it's almost like not having fic at all.
I do also agree that it's not always reading against canon. Sometimes it's more a feeling that they're correcting something, but even there it's still sometimes coming from canon. But people who are just interpreting can be just as strong in the way they state something.
