I just have to respond to this because YES. I wrote a fanfic of this for Star Trek: The Next Generation that was basically, original character who is a queen in her own time ends up on the Enterprise and has an enemies to lovers arc with Riker. She was brought there by Q almost by accident and her body is in 'can't age' stasis but the only way she can be sent back to have the life history says she will MUST be that Q finds out she's there and eventually sends her back.
But until then, she and Will fall in love, and they KNOW it can't be forever. He knows who she'll marry. What their kids' names will be. How all of them will die. But right now, in this moment, they can have this, and that's all that matters.
In the story, he'd seen holofilms of her life, she'd basically videojournaled her whole life, and he'd watched them BEFORE she ended up on the ship. And all throughout those holofilms are moments of things he loves, like jazz, and the maroon color of the command uniforms. But when she shows up, she doesn't like jazz.
He realizes that those things are the evidence of his influence on her, once she goes back. She incorporated them as an eternal 'I will always love you,' and he'd fallen for them before they ever met.
It's basically a dead fandom and this is self-indulgent to have spent all that time on it but it made me so happy and I honestly don't think I could have written a better representation of this phenomenon you're talking about!
It's called We, We Who Were if anyone wants to read it.
Ps. the musical Hadestown was such a mood while I was writing this. Jazz? That starts with a TROMBONE? Lyrics like 'I knew you before we met, and I don't even know you yet' ??? Honestly, cinematic life go brrrrrrr
The whole “we both know we’re on borrowed time but we fall for each other anyways” trope is one the most romantic things ever and here’s why:
That trope is basically saying “I know this will break my heart and I know I will never fully recover from this, what’s more I know if I walk away now this will only be an occasional twinge in my heart and nothing more. But for YOU I’m willing to suffer that passion and the heartache it brings, for our short time together I’m willing to spend the rest of my eternity slowly growing my agonizing way around it. Because you surpass my self-preservation and everything I could ever want and I will forgo anything if it means I can have THIS LOVE WITH YOU in my life.”
And it all boils down to: “I will willingly endure the darkness that comes after if it means I can have the most dazzling firework for one fleeting second in my entire life. And that firework, is being in love with you.”
This trope burns me from the core of my heart and I relish in that flame every. single. time.

"I think Rhaenyra is primarily motivated by a deep desire to be known and seen." (x)
"She definitely yearns for the old physical intimacy that they shared. It’s different from what she shares with her current husband and her children. A different form of contact." (x)
"I feel like Rhaenyra is a character who really, really struggles as an autonomous agent. She actually requires at least one person to make an ultimate act of devotion in order for her to find confidence and independence." (x)
"Honestly, I think initially there was just such a desire to connect. I think what you see initially is intimacy, and an intimacy that Rhaenyra shares so rarely." (x)

"Louis and Armand were still in love in Dubai!!" "Louis and Armand never loved each other!!" - no. it's worse. they were on the precipice of something good, but Armand couldn't recognize that, so he ruined everything they had, right when Louis had actually come to love him. the love was there for a fleeting moment and it was ruined irreversibly, never to return, even after decades they'd spent together out of desperation and spite. it's worse and that's the point
