And back to the meat of your comment:

different people, who both place canon above all, and who read the same canon, see canon itself differently

and

as long as the characters behave in a believable way and the situation can fit into the universe with reasonong and creative thought, I think I'll enjoy any fic

Those are really the key points, I think. Very few people are going to interpret canon identically, but the fic will still largely work if the reasoning and the fic seem well-constructed, even if it's not a view of canon that's necessarily mine. One can suspend disbelief for the length of a fic, and take on an interpretation of canon one ordinarily wouldn't. (Heck, sometimes that's an interesting challenge to do while writing.)
