This secret sort of got me because I found it sort of happening to me (though there's a happy ending...stay with me.) I always felt that in terms of friendships started by a mutual love of something could survive changes in your interests because I thought that you just become friends in general. And I sort of did with a couple of people but they stayed in love with the band that brought us together a lot longer than I did and felt like they couldn't talk to me anymore (by their own admission) and I sort of went "oh..." because I thought our bond was more than a band. Anyway we drifted apart.

Well one of them, who I will add was a very good IRL friend about a decade ago, stayed in touch to the point where we still email occasionally. She even sent my a Christmas gift for the first time in years because "I saw this and thought of you" so I have a cushion with some gorgeous Loki art on it now thanks to her. Though I will admit I feel strange about having it on my sofa sometimes (wondering if it freaks people out!) it is really lovely art - and in a way it helped her reconnect with me properly because one day she decided to give the Thor films a try and lucky for me she LOVED THEM. And now we're talking properly again. Not just about the MCU, but stuff in general. It made me realise it was also MY fault we'd drifted apart and now I want to make the effort to stay in touch.

Tl;dr sometimes people drift apart in fannish circles but sometimes they'll come back. I hope you and your friend will be in the latter category. Also I don't think you should feel you have to pretend to be interested in something if you're not.
