So I just watched In Your Eyes on Netflix and this lovely plot came to mind.
You know that voice in your head? That is your soulmate. You share a telepathic connection, but not just that... so much more. You sporadically get 'transported' to see the world through their eyes, whatever they see you see. You can smell the same smells, hear the same things, feel the same things, see whatever they see. Any trauma that happens to them you feel the force of it (but do not receive any bruising from it). Everyone has this connection, some experience it and others never do, but everyone has a soulmate.... sadly the connection sometimes happens a little late where one or both are married and don't want to leave their loved ones. Other times it starts during a traumatic event. If perfected between both parties the connection can be controlled and not sporadic.
Our characters are around 20. They have sporadically had this connection, and as it is so rare to experience it from a young age they never told anyone. They don't talk to each other... until now. Your character and mine and can live as far or as close as you want. Neither has met each other in person though, and both are terrified of the connection. Over time they learn to control it, and end up falling in love. They can meet before they fall or after they fall, up to you, but I think it would be interesting if they first try to help each other on dates, and then one day they are jealous of the other's boyfriend/girlfriend. They don't sabatoge, but they agree to disagree and cut each other off, despite their strong feeling for each other. But they can't stay away and keep talking, falling more and more in love.
Cassandra Jones moved to exit her apartment. She is reaching for the door to her apartment, humming a tune that was in her head, when her hand is suddenly reaching for a car's radio. She freezes as she watches the fadedness of it all, how her hand the whoever's hand is blending and meshing. Then she looks up and screams as whoever it is... is on the wrong side of the road with oncoming traffic, "LOOK OUT!" She screams and the other swerves, barely missing the other car. She is breathing heavy as she is hears a man's voice in her head.
"Who are you?" He is asking, and she is asking at the same time. Neither answering the other nor fully understanding what is going on. The two babbling over each other before he yells, "SHUT UP! PLEASE!" She falls quiet now and hears him ask, "What's you name?" She had since sunk against the front door, her back to it as she looked around with blurry vision coming and going between her apartment and the side of the road.
"Cassandra Jones. Yours?"
"____. Where are you?"
"My apartment. Where are you?"
"________" His voice seemed to sooth her and she wasn't sure why but she wanted to keep talking to him. She heard him comment on the snow on the ground outside her window, and could hear his confusion. She was just as confused as she was. They had had connections. But all before this had been violent ones. She had a fallen off while riding a horse, he had gotten into a fight, she had gotten into a car crash, and he had fallen from a tree. But this... this was different.
"You're not in my head.... you're very much real..." She said as she could feel the warmth from the sun where he was on her skin as she focused on the side of the road. She figured she needed to figure this out... needed time. "What's... what's going on? Why are we able to do this now?" She had so many questions about him and she wanted the answers but was too afraid to ask all at once. She was twenty two, went through a recent nasty break up and now the connection seems to be showing itself in a pleasant manner. Cassandra couldn't figure anything out, and all she knew was that her vision was blurry at best and when she focused on either her apartment or the road it came clearly, but his voice was so clear in her head, she wasn't sure what to think. She didn't even know how to block him out and it terrified her.
