Learning the difference between a fan fiction, Alternate universe stories from real life maybe hard for shippers. Learn it the hard way but no one to blame here but myself. All are fan services. They are different in their real lives. They have their own life and even love. Now, I learn to enjoy the stories because the authors worked hard to deliver great plots but as a fan never relate it to real life because they are not really in love. Nevertheless the stories created as fan fictions, AUs etc are a great way to entertain and touch us.
