The most forbidden love of all might be self-love for an immortal. After centuries of guilt, predation, and loss, how does a vampire learn to forgive themselves? How do they build a relationship with their own endless existence? Stories that explore a vampire's journey to find peace alone, or with a found family of other immortals, are flipping the script. The 'forbidden' thing becomes happiness, stability, or self-acceptance in a world designed for their eternal misery. That's a fresh take I'd love to see more of.

For a classic anime film, 'Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust' is stunning. The core conflict involves a human noblewoman, Charlotte, who elopes with the vampire noble Meier Link. Their love is forbidden by the human world that hunts him and the vampire aristocracy that sees her as a toy. D, the dhampir hunter, is caught in the middle, a living symbol of another kind of forbidden union. The movie paints their love as tragically beautiful, a fleeting moment of connection between two beings from warring worlds, set against a gorgeous, gothic, post-apocalyptic backdrop.

Sometimes the love story is with the city or the era itself. In 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova, the protagonist's quest for Dracula is intertwined with her father's and grandmother's stories. The 'forbidden love' is almost an intellectual one—a dangerous obsession with the past and the creature that haunts it, passed down like a inheritance. The romance with the historical mystery, with the figure of Vlad Țepeș, is what feels forbidden and alluring. The centuries-spanning narrative is a love letter to history itself, with a vampiric twist.

The 'Immortals After Dark' series by Kresley Cole has several vampire-centric books that fit. For instance, Lothaire, the Enemy of Old, is an ancient vampire king whose obsession with his 'Bride' is tied to a vendetta and a possession that spans ages. The love is forbidden because she's the vessel for the reincarnated soul of his enemy, and he plans to use her for revenge. The series is known for its over-the-top, passionate, and often darkly humorous take on paranormal romance, with immortal politics that have festered for millennia causing all the problems.

I'm more drawn to the platonic or queer-coded versions of this. The deep, abiding, forbidden bond between vampire and their human servant/friend across decades. Like Spike and Buffy's mom Joyce in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'—that weird, respectful connection between a soulless killer and a normal human woman. It's not romantic, but it's a profound, forbidden affection that exists outside the rules of their worlds. Those kinds of cross-species, cross-moral-boundary relationships that last through a human lifetime feel more unique to me than the usual romantic pairings.

The 'Immortal' series by Gene Doucette follows an immortal man, not a vampire, but it hits all the same notes you're asking for. He's been alive since prehistoric times, and each book is a mix of present-day adventure and flashbacks to his experiences throughout history.
It's funny, cynical, and gives a really grounded, often mundane take on what surviving for thousands of years would actually be like. If the vampire-specific requirement is flexible, this is a top-tier recommendation for the 'lives through history' premise.
I have mixed feelings about series that do this. On one hand, I love the depth. On the other, the middle books often feel like filler where the main conflict is recycled. The best ones use the length to explore the daily, unglamorous work of maintaining a relationship after the 'happily ever after,' which is surprisingly rare.
