I know that if certain characters die in DH, there's a chance that I will not want to read/write about those characters much any longer--there can be a sense of "I'm pathetically flailing here, aren't I," with resurrection fic. That did happen to me years ago after the conclusion of the Xena series; I wasn't in the fandom and had not even read any fanfiction for it, but the end of the series left me heartbroken, and I went to the 'net to see if people were writing fanfiction that could soothe my heart. I found fic, and it didn't help. It felt, as I say, like flailing against reality, like foolish denial. And yet. Yet I'm still perfectly happy to embrace "Sirius never died" AU for the sake of a character I really loved and felt it made no narrative sense to kill. So who knows?
