Meroune's Tragic Romances

Unrequited Love (Chapter 12)
This romance is of love shared but not expressed between individuals due to an existing impediment. Such impediments can be but are not limited to one individual already being married or social laws disallow their joining (common in homosexual, interracial or love involving age-difference or social status).

Dying Love (Chapter 13)
This romance is of love between individuals where one individual is dying. As apposed to "battle-field death" or "accidental death", death in this romance is an extended ordeal where the individuals know that one of them is dying but they continue their romance anyway. As such "death due to sickness" is most commonly featured (with being prominently used in modern time) however death due to "magical curse" or "impending destiny" (where the character is "fated" to die) are also sometimes used.

Wandering Hearts (Chapter 18)
This romance is of love expressed by an individual toward another individual who is disloyal to them. This romance is commonly used when the two individuals are supposed to be bound through either oath, legality or a combination of both (such as marriage). The romance is often expressed through the viewpoint of the individual being cheated upon.

Sufferance due to Love (Chapter 18)
This romance involves an individual being forced to endure various plights in order to retain their love. Most often in these romances the individual will suffer plights based on degrading humiliation and social-razing; demonstrating resilience in character and strength of will as they lose everything in their world for the chance to continue their love.

Legacy of Love (Chapter 24)
This romance involves an individual having lost their lover (usually due to death or another reason to explain an extremely notable absence) but possesses an item or artefact that directly arose due to that love. Most often these artefacts can be heirlooms such as photos or letters, or a literal production from their love in the form of a child or children.

Broken Rape Victim (Chapter 30)
This romance involves an individual being mentally and spiritually broken into accepting another individual as their "love" even if they do not actually love them. Most often seen as the primary tactic used by villains in romance stories, in a tragic romance their efforts work and the broken target of their affections deign to live the remainder of their lives with the villain.

Love Separation (Chapter 35)
This romance involves individuals being actively separated by outside parties, thusly making it difficult for them to continue their love. This most often happens in romances involving opposing social statuses, the notion of "duty over love" (eg warrior/royalty couples) or characters with disapproving elders/parents/superiors.

Trivia

 * Centorea Shianus lapses into her own Tragic Romance in Chapter 24, where she imagines herself (the banished knight) and Kimihito (the banished master) forever on the run from pursuers, during which their comradeship turns into romantic love. Tragically, these romances usually end with the pursuers finally cornering the lovers where-upon one or both of the lovers will take a stand; with the ending varying on whether the duo survive together in victory or die while fighting arm-in-arm.
