** One chapter in the first volume is focused on a water spirit whose human lover betrayed her centuries ago, leaving her in despair and causing her to steal Lazar's soul after falling for him. Oscar has no choice but to slay her to save his friend, despite Lazar wishing to stay with her out of pity.
** Centuries-old witch Lucrezia is implied to have been in a relationship with Sen, an ancient millenia-old (albeit human-shaped) spirit, in the distant past.

* This is the premise of tale type ATU 400, "The Man on a Quest for the Lost Wife", of the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index: the hero is a mortal man, and he marries a woman of supernatural or magical origin: she is a swan maiden in Eurasia; a peri in Iran and Turkey; a goose maiden among the Inuit; a vila (a type of fairy) in Serbia/South Slavic; a samodiva/samovila in Bulgaria; and a neraida in Greece.

* Case in point, the ''Literature/ChakonaSpace'' setting, hardly anybody is in a same-species romance, and most of the ones that are have [[{{Polyamory}} a little extra interspecies thing going on on the side]].

* Someone keeping track from ''Literature/{{Elcenia}}'''s Rhysel's point of view would assume this was the norm on Elcenia. Though it isn't entirely, it is assumed that a dragon will go through a number of non-dragon mates before settling down with a dragon -- dragons live a ''long'' time.

* Subverted in ''Literature/TheJenkinsverse'', where humanity is the only species to have ''any'' members who aren't [[{{squick}} squicked out]] by the idea. Sadly for those few, even if they did find an alien who was open-minded enough to try, humans are so much stronger by comparison that any such union would inevitably end in serious injury or death.

* Literature/TheJournalEntries are practically MADE of this trope. There are VERY few ongoing relationships in which all people are the same species.

* Carmilla and all her more-or-less human entourage, in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. In fact, with a major-league lust demon for a father and a [[HalfHumanHybrid human/Deep One hybrid]] mother, Carmilla is also the ''result'' of one of those... and from what we've seen of her dad since he showed up in the stories, which basically paint him as a devilishly charming rake with some trouble keeping his tentacles to himself who honestly dotes on his only daughter, romance may well have actually figured into it.
** Aside from the above, we've also seen hints at possible romance between one or two of the students and members of the local tribe of lycanthropes, and of course there are plenty of mutants whose mutations have forced them into more or less inhuman forms with little hope of reprieve. (The technical term is [=GSD=], for 'gross structural dystrophy' -- 'gross' in the sense of 'overall', mind you.) While the latter may still be technically and legally human, speculations about their potential present or future love-life (such as the Fury Twins idly musing on their chances of finding a boyfriend) necessarily do invoke this trope.

And ''maybe'' female sexual organs. He and Drizzt both are noted to be unusual among drow males, who are culturally xenophobic. (Females will sleep with anything, including demons, in the pursuit of power, though there's probably no romance. For that matter, ''intra''racial relations in traditional/Llothian Drow society are rarely all that romantic.)
