Thanks. I used all of my character limit to say why I don't like stuff, which is antithetical to my personal philosophy, which far prefers the experience of joy. (I didn't think of extending into another comment! You are v. clever.)
But, YEAH. This is gorgeous. Thank you for saying all that.
For me, also, as well as the things you mention, I find that great fictional loves, the ones that obsess, come to me to teach me certain things. HP, I think, taught me that I have things to say, fictionally. That inside those cracks you mention, there is a whole world to explore and build. I think Doctor Who has taught/is teaching me to embrace: "everything has it's time and everything ends." To accept "change or die" which for such a rigid creature as myself, is so hard, and so important. It's exercise for my heart, like all falling in love and heart-break, in their endless cycle.
