That’s the gist of it, but let me be more specific; I’m looking for a story where the protagonist unexpectedly meets a person who makes them feel something they have longed for a long a time or embodies an idea they could only vaguely picture in their head. Therefore, in order to get inspiration for their next masterpiece, the protagonist establishes a relationship with this person and gets to know them deeper and deeper until the issue is not about their art, but about the longing of their art . Of course, this could bring about issues into their relationship, since the protagonist will have to learn how to separate their art from their muse, as art can never reciprocate the love of the artist that made it.
The story could land either on the uplifting and romantic side or the more horrifying and tragic side. Either one is fine. If possible, recommend the most emotional, epic finished books (preferably fantasy/sci-fi). If the ones you are thinking of are not but you think they are worth a watch, send them anyway. Thanks.
