I read this fanfiction and have to say that I really like it.
I don't really get what your problem is. I don't see any "screwing up relationships" or "not being satisfied with the entire heartwarming ending". I also don't really get what exactly should be called heartwarming about the anime's ending even Gen Urobuchi says that he was too cruel. Homura never gets to physically see Madoka again after retrying to save her friend again and again she ends up all alone again. Looks like you didn't see Homura's gaze after the ending in the last episode, she didn't look too happy then after all... The only real heartwarming part of this episode is when Homura and Madoka are together in space but the rest is cruel to Homura and not "heartwarming" at all. After trying so hard all the time she just gets to fight alone again. And I don't think she'd get very close to Mami and Kyoko, maybe a little bit closer to Kyoko but that's it, in the end she's all alone again.

Also about the "screwing up" relationships all I see is a fanfic that tries to give the character's a (happy) yuri end where all of them are together. And writing a yuri fanfiction is not "screwing up relationships". Many parts of the anime can be interpreted as yuri. Or why else do you think is this anime so popular among yuri fans? If you don't get what I mean go and watch Kannazuki no Miko. In my opinion you pretty much look like someone who hates yuri and doesn't understand it. I am not saying that everyone needs to like yuri but if you aren't tolerant enough to let others be the way they're then you're pretty retarded.
For Homura and Madoka as a couple I would exactly display them how the author did. I'd imagine them having a deep, strong love for each other where only feelings matter. (Although Homura seems to be a bit of a pervert after all, considering that she "knows the value of used underwear".)
I'd imagine Kyoko and Sayaka would have a relationship where both are a bit shy and have problems showing their feelings for each other though forming slowly a strong bond with each other.

I also don't get why you mean by saying "giving characters abilities they shouldn't have"...

And I don't think that the author does what he/she wants. The author rather tries to give (as I already mentioned before) the character's the end he/she would have liked in my opinion and doesn't srew anything up and I think he/she really did very well when trying to portray the character's feelings. It feels kinda a bit as if the dialogues came from the anime itself. An author is still allowed to put their own ideas and feelings in a fanfiction, too. Or why do you think exist fanfictions at all? This fanfiction's purpose seems to be some kind of continuation with a proposed shoujo-ai end. (it's obvious to see what kind of end this fanfiction will have after all)
