Shipping 景元/丹枫 is also just going down the path of tragedy or AU too, since we already know how that story ended.
Also, I suppose another way of getting around these 3 theories is to avoid them altogether. If you write short enough, especially with PWP or fluff pieces (that assume established relationship), you don't need to get into the emotional setup/backstory. *shrug*
Anyway, I agree with your analysis. And like, this is probably why I am mostly dropped out of this ship. That and it lack of popularity means there's little to no updates, much less good fic, when I do go looking.
(I've also peeked a little into the more popular Blade/Dan Heng fandom, but nope, still not liking their vibes.)
Going to stick with Ratio/Aventurine as the popular safe pairing at this point...
