Where does Abby fit?

OK, I have a question. And I'm not trying to start a flame war, just get some understanding of a characterization.

It seems like a lot of the Tim-centric fics I read, whether McNozzo or otherwise, are more anti-Abby than NCIS fics in general. And the ones that drive me crazy tend to be slash fics with Tim, usually paired with Tony. I know since Abby/McGee are canon, at least past canon, that she has to be dealt with somehow. But why take the "Abby abuses poor Timmy horribly" route? Although obviously there are lots of great T2 fics out there where Abby is their best friend, so not everybody goes that path.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see evil Abby (no matter how many spikes on her collar). Anybody have any thoughts on where evil/selfish Abby comes from? Or am I just too much of a McAbby fan to be able to see it even when I'm putting Tim with Tony.

But my problem is when they write Abby as some super jealous girl willing to do anything to have her way, or Tony so completely an asshole with no empathy whatsoever or, and this is my BIGGEST pet peeve, Tim feeling so put upon and alienated and abused and that that somehow makes him the angel of the show. It's ridiculous.

Don't forget Evil!Tim who only want to crush Tony or fic where Tony has his feelings so hurt he quit his job or cry in his pillow. I heard there was a fic where he goes and cry in Gibbs's arms because Kate hit him.

REALLY? Yeesh. What show are they watching? I didn't realize Tony was 4 years old.
