One more thing ... I thought I'd come up and add this to my comments to you, since I had kind of a (maybe quite obvious) mini-epiphany farther downstream in the comments thread, on narrative kinks and looking for things in stories that they never promised to provide. I think this is what I've been doing, unconsciously, when I read slash -- behaving like a non-SF fan watching SF and getting too frustrated with the details of how the handwavium works to see the wonder that SF fans see in it.

I do really appreciate your explanation and that of other people in the comments; it helps me see what other people are seeing when they read and write romantic fic, as I'm coming from a different place and I never really "got" that in quite that way before.
