* ''Tragically'' subverted in ''Manga/FairyTail''. [[spoiler:Mavis Vermillion proposes this relationship with "The Black Wizard" Zeref after finding out they both bear Ankhseram's Curse. Zeref, touched by her kindness, confesses his love to her and they kiss. However, the purpose of the curse is to ensure the recipients are never happy. As the curse of contradictions, the fact the curse allowed them to find happiness together became the ultimate contradiction. Thus, their first and last kiss kills Mavis anyway, breaking Zeref in the process]].



* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' has two immortal couples. [[spoiler: Firo and Ennis]] aptly demonstrate this trope by dating for 50 years before finally getting married, while [[spoiler:Isaac and Miria]] have been in constant company for about 75 years. Note that it took the latter 70 years to even ''notice'' they were ageless and immortal.

* ''Fanfic/FateBlackDawn'': The witch Morgan le Faye warns her sister Arturia that if she rejects Shirou, Morgan will take him and make him her husband forever.

* ''Literature/InCryptid'' has a downplayed example: Martin Baker is a FriendlyZombie married to Angela Baker, a Johrlac or "cuckoo", a HumanOutsideAlienInside species who can live in excess of a hundred years. It's unclear exactly how old Angela is, but they've been married since 1961 and more than 50 years later she hardly looks any older.

* ''Literature/NightWorld'' has a few examples, primarily involving vampires, [[ReincarnationRomance Old Souls]] or both.
** The most prominent example in the series is soulmate couple Hannah and Thierry. Due to her being reincarnated repeatedly and Thierry being a vampire, they have been in love for ''over ten thousand years'' and will likely continue to be in love forever.
** Poppy and James are set to be an extreme version of HighSchoolSweethearts; James turned Poppy into a vampire to prevent her dying from cancer and now they'll be together forever. They figure out they're soulmates and so were destined to be together; Poppy also tells James she always knew she wanted to marry him someday right back when they were kids.
* ''Literature/TheRedemptionOfAlthalus'' ends with [[spoiler:Althalus]] and his DivineDate [[spoiler:Dweia]] withdrawing to a PlaceBeyondTime to enjoy each other's company forever.



* ''Literature/TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel'' has Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, naturally.



* This trope applies to all of Creator/JRRTolkien's Elves, since they are immortal and it is stated that they fall in love early and for life. But an outstanding example is Elu Thingol who meets Maia Melian in a forest and then they spend ''centuries'' just standing there and looking at each other. Also of note are the Valar, who [[TimeAbyss existed before the physical world]] and, as far as we know, entered it already paired up (except for perpetual bachelor and bachelorette Ulmo and Niënna, and [[GodOfEvil Melkor]]).
* ''Literature/TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel'' has Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, naturally.
* In the closing moments of Creator/GregBear's ''The City at The End of Time'', it is revealed that Sangmer and his love, who are forced to spend literally eternity apart in order to prevent the end of everything, meet again every time the current universe reaches its end, only to part again when the next one is created.

"Had we but world enough and time," [[Creator/AndrewMarvell the poet]] said to his reluctant LoveInterest, "this coyness, Lady, were no crime," and he'd be willing to wait for centuries for a RelationshipUpgrade. Normal human beings don't have centuries to work out their romantic lives, but the genres of fantasy and science fiction are full of couples who do. Naturally, if you and your beloved are both immortal, or even just really, really long-lived, you may have all the time in the world in which to fall in love, court each other, hook up, break up, and come back together. You might spend centuries in the WillTheyOrWontThey stage before getting your HappilyEverAfter, and why not? You have all the time in the world for drama. The result is a RomanceArc which could extend backwards into ancient history or forward into the far future.
