I think there is another aspect to the 'pausing' of the stories. We don't know yet at what point these stories will be paused. We saw the pause point of Edmund's.

Maybe some of the stories were put on pause because they wanted a chance to change the outcome? perhaps. but the outcome of the written story is already in play, so maybe there is something AFTER the known outcome that was paused before it could play out. Such may be the case with this weeks episode with Cinderella and her step-family. Ella got the happy ending, but what did Lady Tremaine and the step-sisters get? that may be the pause point for that story. The untold story is what happened to them after Ella married the prince.

And the running to the LoUS may be an extension of the fear of the unknown. Sometimes we can see something and we anticipate that it's going to turn out ugly, and rather than deal with it, we can put it on hold. and perhaps these untold stories don't all end badly like the Counts did, but some of them may have different endings than they expected.
