Oh, to play a bonded elf on a quest to find their other half as a creeping sense of doom wracks their mind.

Guys.... soulmates. I found the fluffiest most fanfic fueling lore on Soul-Mates and Bonds. (Least I didn't know, so hopefully this is fun for some of y'all too)

"This soul-mate is called a Thiramin. Upon meeting his thiramin, an elf's heart fills with passion and certainty. Ninety-nine times out of one hundred the other party is felled by the same feelings of immediate and eternal devotion. Though rare, an unrequited thiramin is always disastrous, bringing centuries of unending, wrenching heartbreak. Sufferers often commit suicide or succumb to the temptations of evil.

Elves commonly feel thiramin for someone they meet for the first time: in other words, visitors from other communities, or while entertaining visitors from other communities. Intermarriage between communities strengthens bonds of communication between settlements, allowing them to quickly band together for mutual benefit. It is not uncommon, though, elves to form thiramin with another they have known since childhood; to suddenly look upon one they have known for centuries in a new way, as if for the first time. When this happens, it if often the case that the two have previously treated each other as bitter rivals. The certainty of thiramin is never allowed to interfere with the experience of a long and protracted courtship. Where adolescents will hop into bed with one another on the slightest provocation, a couple swayed by thiramin might heighten their moment of ecstasy by months or even years. Courtships of a decade or longer are not unheard of." - from the Wiki (and other places but that's where I copied it from)

AAANNNDD....

"U`Aestar`Kess/One Heart, One Mind, One Breath: This ritual provides a creature and an elf with a mental link, not unlike the one shared among elves in communion. This link is permanently forged. Most often, this ritual is used as a marriage rite, forging a bond between spouses, though it is not limited to pairs of elves. An animal mount and rider might form an empathic link that allows them to interact far more closely than two creatures (two elves, or animal and elf, or other pairings) normally could. The link between the two creatures is permanent, and allows the linked elf or elves to ignore the Call to Arvannaith for greater periods of time due to the communal nature of the link. The two creatures are partners, friends, lovers, or kindred in all but form; each knows when the other is in danger and will stop at little to render aid. This passive link is always semi-empathic, but with intense concentration, it can become telepathic, allowing mind-to-mind communication. While all rituals are assumed to have elf targets, this union could easily be formed for all races, linking dwarves or humans with elves. An elf can be placed in U`Aestar`Kess with a maximum of two beings in his or her lifetime, most often a spouse and a beast-mount such as a dragon."

Apparently the Lore is not exclusive to BG3 lore necessarily but comes from other source books for other dnd realms/editions and has sort of been introduced to other lores by discretion of the GM or whatever, but I personally will be incorporating this shit IMMEDIATELY into my own Astarion HC's. (But its fun to use on any elf, like maybe you Halsin lovers? Mans def in his "profound love" years)
