You know, I've only recently been able to read (some) fic for (a few) canon couples. Before, like you, I was pretty instantly disinterested in fic once a couple became a canon couple (though canon couples were fine in the background, I would avoid any fic centered on their relationship), unless as a threesome (or moresome) with another character (or two).

Part of the reason why was because I felt like the canon now had it covered and it didn't need to be explored further (not really true for any couple, but that's the way I felt for a long time). Part of the reason why was I didn't want to get frustrated/dissatisfied with how it was handled (this is valid enough, but I think it's the other way around from how I used to think about it - that the fic wouldn't live up to the canon, when really, the canon might not live up to a very good fic). Part of the reason why is that I like relationships that are a little taboo or have some other obstacle in their way and like to see the different ways fic writers get them together and when a couple becomes canon, this is often resolved, making it less interesting to me. And the last part of the reason why is that when a couple becomes canon, I often see the relationship flaws more keenly and don't necessarily want to go further with the couple anymore.

So, if I can get over myself about the first two, the fic comes at the third differently enough, and the fourth doesn't hold, then I can read fic for that couple. But there are that not many canon couple that I can do it with.
