[M/M for anything romantic, but anything goes for platonic-type.
He and Ilya are definitely full-spectrum soulmates, but there are more than one kind! Platonic for sure and something like temporary soulmates where there's something intense there but it's nothing lasting, just something the two of you are meant to do together (win a cake-decorating competition for instance) and of course all the AUs and whatnot, lay it on me
I'm also happy to write the starter, just let me know.]

[I'm a sucker for writing on the arm showing up on the soulmate (same goes for scars), also matching tattoos/marks, and for this guy especially: the song you're listening to gets stuck in your soulmate's head.
But I'm open to most types, including platonic soulmates. No Billy, Jason or the kids, please.
I'm also 100% cool with writing the starter, just let me know.]

[I mean he's definitely Edwin's soulmate, but they might have forged that themselves, I'm always down for Complications™ like Charles' human soulmate still being alive (albeit aged now) or the soulmate link of whatever sort causing problems on a job etc.
I'm also fine writing the starter, just say the word.]

[I'm always interested in the implications and complication that would come of someone in his line of work having a Soulmate. That's the kind of nice meaty worldbuilding I like to play with.
I'm also happy to write the starter, just say the word]

[Honestly I'm curious how this would work in-universe. Do the 'bots manifest a mark when they're activated? Is it something else so it's not as easy to tell they're not actually human? Do they always just feel like they're lacking something?
I'm always happy to write the starter, just give me a direction to go in.]

[Pretty sure anything goes, honestly. I'm always down for platonic-type soulmates.
I can even write the starter if you like, just let me know.]

[He and Charles have absolutely become each other's soulmates, but I'm also here for platonic soulmates of whatever sort, not everything is forever, sometimes you're just there to help someone along the way.
He and Charles suddenly becoming soul-bound is also something to consider, if only for how it could make things complicated.
I'm fully willing to write the starter, just give me a direction.]

[I'm a sucker for writing on the arm showing up on the soulmate (same goes for scars), also matching tattoos/marks. But I'm open to most types, including platonic soulmates. No Billy, Jason or the kids, please.
I'm totally open to writing the starter, too, just let me know.]

[I'd love to figure out how soulmates work in her universe, honestly, because for the Killjoys that could be something dangerous (easier to get someone back under control if you can threaten their soulmate) and could easily lead to potential suicide missions to rescue soulmates who are still in the City. All sorts of fun stuff!
I can write the starter, even, just say the word.]

[I'm a sucker for writing on the arm showing up on the soulmate (same goes for scars), also matching tattoos/marks. I'm open to most types, though including platonic soulmates. No Billy, Jason or the kids, please.
Also available as a dude at

ccunningham if preferred, and I can even write the starter, just let me know.]

[Look, we all know that he and Shane are absolutely soulmates, but I think he and Svetlana are too, just in a different way. I'm absolutely onboard for all kinds of Shenanigans™ because otherwise what's the point?
I can even write the starter, totally don't mind, just say the word.]
