Yes! And so few people use it. I was going to say this and forgot to before: one reason I rarely find the roadblocks convincing is that a lot of authors appear to be afraid genuine ones like pride would make people dislike their characters, so they make the flaws too tiny. That's where I find the characters to be oversensitive. If they agonize forever because someone teased them- and the audience knows it was non-malicious teasing- and take that as a sign that the person doesn't love them anymore, I give up.
Afraid I don't have many recs like that. I do try to write Harry wanting Draco for what he is, though!
