Wow, holy four months late, Batman, but I know exactly what you mean when it comes to Ezra slash.
Holy crap, it drives me NUTS. So much so I can hardly read slash fic with him. He's never, ever been a shrinking, feminine violet. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS TO HIM!? ffs. So squinky and wrong and I can think of many writers who do it and very, very few quality writers who don't. In fact, I can only think of one more in addition to Auburn and Zeke, and that is Katherine's Seven For Hire series. Quite good, and the guys remain guys, and in character. I know exactly where you are coming from.
This means I normally only read gen M7 fic starring Ezra - which is fine, too, I like straight Ez just fine because he kicks ass and is entertaining to read when he's written right. I think few people have the ability to do this as well, unfortunately. He must be a hard character to get a handle on or something. Katherine's Immortal 7 AU, Eleanor Tremayne, and Jean Graham all do a wonderful gen Ezra. Only one of them is still writing M7, sadly.
...Anyway wow, sorry for rambling, you may not even be into M7 fic anymore! Just wanted to let you know I share your frustration, lol.
