Yes, it is quite a common theme in fanfiction. Writers often explore the unusual and the supernatural in relationships, and a ghost - human love story can be full of mystery, drama, and the exploration of different planes of existence.
A girl named Lily went to stay at her grandmother's old cottage in the countryside. There, she felt a presence. It was a male ghost. He was a bit mischievous at first, moving things around. But Lily wasn't too afraid. She tried to communicate with him. Eventually, they developed a connection. The ghost showed her memories of the past, like how the cottage used to be. As they spent more time together, love blossomed. They would take walks around the garden, with Lily feeling his presence beside her. Their love was like a secret world, full of mystery and tenderness.
One well - known example is 'Crimson Peak'. In this story, Edith falls in love with Thomas, not knowing at first that there are ghostly secrets in his family's mansion. The relationship between them is complex, with the presence of ghosts adding a spooky and tragic dimension to their love. It shows how love can exist even in a situation where the supernatural is involved.
One common theme is sacrifice. Usually, either the human or the ghost has to sacrifice something for the sake of their love. For example, the human might have to give up their normal life or the ghost might have to sacrifice their chance to move on to the afterlife.
One common theme is the struggle against the impossible. Since a human and a ghost are from different existences, they have to face many difficulties to be together, like the laws of nature and social norms.
One famous human and ghost love story is 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir'. In this story, a widow moves into a seaside cottage and meets the ghost of a sea captain. At first, they bicker but gradually fall in love. Their relationship is complex as they are from different realms, yet their love overcomes many difficulties.
A third theme could be discovery. The human often discovers a whole new world through the relationship with the ghost. This could be the world of the afterlife, or just a different perspective on life and love. The ghost, on the other hand, may discover forgotten emotions or memories through the interaction with the human. For example, in some stories, the ghost rediscovers the joys of living through the love of the human.
In a ghost x human love story, the biggest challenge might be the separation that is bound to come. The human will age and die, and the ghost is already in a state of non - living. Their paths are so different. Also, the cultural and religious beliefs can be a huge hurdle. Many cultures and religions don't accept the idea of a relationship between the living and the dead. This can make the couple feel isolated and judged. And on a more practical level, they can't have normal experiences like going to a restaurant or a movie together, which are common things for human - human relationships.
I recommend "Love in the World of Yin and Yang", a modern romance novel with an urban supernatural power to you. This novel was about the love story between humans and ghosts. Although they couldn't touch each other, as long as they were together, the air would be different. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
I recommend "Tackle That Ghost". The male and female protagonists of this ancient romance novel are a human and a female ghost. Although it's a little barbaric, it's also very charming. The feelings between the two people go from misunderstanding each other at the beginning to loving each other in the end. It's very touching. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
