I feel like it’s okay to have multiple loves over the course of one’s life. Think about how wonderful it would be to find multiple soulmates, and to love each of them for several decades.
Oh, stop it you. I already have the late night thoughts about lying in bed at 80 years old and leaving everything/everyone in this world behind, and now I gotta worry about the characters in the yuri I read doing the same :(
This is a great story about two beautiful characters whose hearts are entwined! I felt very happy after reading it, because I can easily imagine how both characters can be together for all time. Human Kai and elven Lyra will always be together! Time, duties, and dangers will never tear this loving pair apart!
Elves: "You will feel sad when your short-lived human lover dies before you do"
Humans: "I fear nobody will be here to protect my longer-lived lover once I die"
All you need to know about the two races in a nutshell
I mean, there ARE ways to cut ones life short if they're worried that much about it. Just pull an ol' Romeo and Juliet and die together. Or I suppose "Romette and Juliet" in this case.
Plus it'd probably have the added benefit of both Elves and Humans being like "Wow she loved her so much she wanted to die with her, how tragically romantic."
Honestly, I wanna read a elf x human romance story where the main focus is the human looking for an immortality potion or some such thing. Like, c'mon, yall live in Magic Land. There's gotta be an archwizard you can rizz up to de-age you every few decades or something, right? If I was in a magic world, I would absolutely refuse to die of old age.
Somehow can't help but be reminded of many of the Marisa x Alice stories. While many of them are really quite beautiful, some of the best still tear your heart out, as the difference in aging leads to a very melancholy end...

You fool! Magic never grants immortality without some kind of horrible soul-destroying caveat. Like that archwizard will make you her undying thrall or something

Since immortality is something impossible as far as we know, fiction always gives it an impossible price, so people won't feel dejected by their inability to attain it.
But it's only the way fiction is. It's not a rule of nature or whatever.

There are immortal creatures on earth. The most prominent is the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii what can turn back its life cycle to a earlier time.

I feel like a more psychologically healthy way to approach this isn't to cut short someone's life. I think to really wish the best for her elven lover, Kai would hope Lyra doesn't die, but can grieve properly and then move on. The loss of a loved one doesn't have to be a shadow that hangs over her for the next few thousand years. 'course that's me trying to apply human psychology to a species that lives longer than turtles and deep sea sharks...
As much as I love bittersweet fantasies like this, I hope we could get at least a sequel on what happens to them when the inevitable occur, in short, death.
