That's how I feel too. They caught me unawares at a time when , despite over a decade of fandom involvement, I'd never really got shipping, and there is nothing that will quite match them - they were my first. I guess 'recovery' was really the wrong word to use here because I can't yet think of watching their more wrenching episodes without a bottle of something in my hand (Ana got to see that on the rewatch last week). And frankly, I don't think there will ever be anyone like them for me again, not just because of the first times but also because characters like these are just that rare.
But it's good to know that we're still capable of loving other stuff, even if it doesn't help me feel better about what was done to pilots - it's a nice feeling to be able to enjoy other couples for themselves and have some squee again, even if they don't turn me into a mess of sobbing and never will.
