Aside from google and Minekura, this is why I'm glad I live in the generally undistinguished 21st century.

Pretending to be the characters in O'Brian's books opens up a fanciful, playful way to explore deeply personal fears of closeness which often, neither person in the couple realize are stagnating their relationship.

WWJD: What would Jack do?

(Aside from the fact the author picked a series with, yanno, decent complex people in it, which is happy-making right there, don't other people frequently pretend to be fictional characters at need, even after they grow up?)

For certain values of 'grow up,' yes (I'm not so sure that I'm there yet); usually it's to convince myself that I'm not dealing with a Crisis, but with a Grand Adventure.
