I think it'd be unbearable if you tried to claim you planned them to be antiparallel when you didn't. But I often find myself saying something like "this is a bit different than I intended but still appropriate, so I kept it" - it often personalises what I'm creating. I definitely think happy accidents have a place in creativity.
And I don't think you should apologise for your liking for antiparallel biology. Mind you, I have spent most of my life refusing to apologise for my belief that mathematics (one of my strongest subjects) and crafts such as knitting have a much more interesting relationship than most people believe. So I am quite possibly considered unbearably geeky by many other people. But I don't think humanity can function if we're all identical, and so as long as some people like who I am, I have no need to appear "normal". Plenty of other people can do a much better job of that than I can ;-).
