soulmates;

▸ post your character ◂
▸ you're now in a universe where destined soul mates exist! ◂
▸ rng for the type of au and for the ~situation~ ◂
▸ tag around ♥ ◂

type of au;
1. tats, your character has a tattoo of the first words the love of their life will say to them
2. familiars, your character has an animal tattoo representing their soul mate on them
3. glow, the first time your character sees their soul mate, their chests glow!
4. world in color, life is literally black and white, until you see your soul mate for the first time
5. choose your own, i'm definitely missing a milly because i'm lazy, pick your own

1. First Meeting: You'll feel the spark almost on first sight. Yes, he's not your type. No, she's is a villain and your a hero. It doesn't matter. You can't chose these things.
2. Not Accepting: No, this person can't be it! They're so...so not what you've expected!
3. We Belong Together: You've decided to come together, like it's intended, and you're reaping the benefits.
4. Like Ships in the Night: The obligatory sex option. The two of you are cementing your bond in the most traditional of ways, and you'll soon learn that sex with others can't compare to sex with someone who's completely yours.
5. Stronger as Two: In battle or in life, the two of you combined are unstoppable.
6. There's Someone Else You've met your soulmate...but you're with someone else. Now that you know your other half is out there for sure, can you keep that up?
7. Love Will Tear Us Apart: Someone is hurting one half of the pair, and it's bringing pain to both of you. Maybe you can protect or save the other.
8. Not Fortune's Fool: You're flying solo. You have no intention of becoming a matched pair. Forget about what anybody else says, just focus on you.
9. Soulmates Never Die: Except when they do. Somehow, yours has passed on or is dying in your arms, leaving you alone in the world. How do you feel?
10. WILDCARD: Choose your own.

[ timeline flexible, if adding the soulmate aspect to canon. also open to au settings and happy to talk it out here or through pm. preferred either tattoos of some kind - last words for example -, or glow, or wildcard since there's so many soulmate tropes tbh. ]

[ I'm so sorry. ]

ooc | tats, world in color, shared/paired magic, shared dreams/emotions are some favorites. Cross-canon/medium welcome. Platonic soulmates are great, too! Also cql compatible.

He's known what his tattoo is for a while, and there are a few he has met over the years that it could represent. The strong lines of a bear could mean Nie Mingjue. The thought does nothing to repulse him, in fact, he's invited the other man to visit and...has chosen to ask him to meet him in one of the actual hot springs with the hope it would ease the way, so to speak.

Not everyone is as invested with the Cold Springs as he and his fellow disciples are. And he enjoys the heat as well. Mingjue will likely come upon him...bare from the waist up, in the steaming water already, kneeling in light meditation. He has his back to the other as he hears quiet steps approach, and knows the tattoo on his shoulder is visible. He smiles quietly to himself but doesn't turn to greet his friend.

[ 1 & 4 are cool; there's also some alternates like the clock counting the time when you meet your soulmate or starting up when you do, and shared emotions/dreams. ]
