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.
[ Not really interested in 8 or 9. As for types of soulmates... tattoo of words or animal could be interesting. Especially since Natsume covers so much of himself up so it could take some time to discover. Smut okay. ]
[ m/m 21+ markings, or glow, or bring your own. fun fact (?): anything with haesoo comes with a 6-flavored angle of his major hangup on someone else. but maybe it could be a soulmate trope that ties in a 'need' to be together aspect, whether they like it or not. open to discuss. ]
[ A soulmate, as far as Zhongli is concerned, is not fundamentally different from any other companion; if anything, he understands the necessity of it less. He picks and chooses his company for what they can provide to each other that alone one cannot, and crafts his agreements accordingly — so if there's anything unusual about their relationship, he'd probably say it's that there is no contract binding them together over the fact that when they'd met, the glaze lilies around them began blooming in waves as if responding to the warm glow of their energies resonating with each other. And to Zhongli, that they've come to settle their people upon the same land together is above all else because he can better protect his followers by way of Guizhong's shared wisdom. Perhaps sentiment or personal feelings do enter into it — but he simply lacks the ability to understand that it is what it is.
Still, he's content with the way things are. Over time, they've settled into a mutual arrangement that suits them both; Guizhong often guides their people from nearby while Zhongli serves as a more distant guardian, often roaming the land to keep their borders safe from whatever threats might come their way, rarely meeting with the humans under their shared protection. Even when he returns from his travels, it's usually not to Guili Plains, but to her adeptus's abode in Jueyun Karst.
On this particular homecoming, Zhongli comes with his arms full of flowers. He'd remembered Guizhong mentioning the last time they'd met that she was researching herbal remedies, and although she hadn't asked him to, he'd decided to gather the ones that only grow on mountaintops for her. In lieu of greeting, he simply places the flowers at her worktable. ]
Here, the plants you wanted.
[ Nestled in between qingxin and violetgrass is a glaze lily in full bloom; Zhongli doesn't have anything to say about that. ]
I've taken care of the Geovishaps to the south... and left the hatchlings alone, as you said I should.
[ "It isn't much more trouble for me to kill the hatchlings as well," he'd said before, and she'd smiled and told him to think on the difference between a vishap and a hatchling while he was journeying. If he's come to any conclusions, he doesn't seem keen on sharing them — but he's always answered whenever she poses a question to him, so she need only ask if she's curious. ]
[ Care for a bond with a mortal? Basher is the second in command of Moriarty's crime network and has a very questionable moral compass. BUT he likes bars and bar fights and gambling, so how does that sound as a first meeting? Drunk Basher gets caught cheating at poker and our guys end up either teaming up or trying to punch each other's lights out - only to realize that they're destined to spend some time together? Number-wise, I'm partial to tattoos (either words or familiars), but can be easily swayed, so if you have a strong preference for any of the numbers, just let me know and I'll write up a starter for us :) ]
