Twisted Soulmate AU.

Consider: a world where most everything is the same as it ever was, yet there's one downside: soulmates are real, and you will find yours. How could that ever be terrible, you ask? Why, we forgot to mention the other little snag...touching your soulmate brings you excruciating pain. Everyone else in your life you can touch no problem, except for them. You know you'll find the one when you hurt.

How does knowing that the person you're destined to be with is the only person you can't touch? Will you avoid contact with anyone so you'll never know and be the "safer" (yet unfulfilled) for it? If you do find that other half, how will you ever show your affection for each other? Sex has to be out of the question entirely, right?

In a life worth living, there's always going to be a little bit of pain. Once it's all said and done, a life with someone is going to make you earn your happiness.

[OOC: Since he remembers his last seven lives, he subsequently remembers the last seven lives he had with his soulmate and having to lose them. As a result, Zak will be 1. clingy 2. open to substantial age and power gaps because he's lost his true love too many times to be picky and 3. be entirely willing to overlook the pain.

Also since it's canonical that it's very rare for people to remember their past lives at all, there's some angst/fluff/plot to be wrung out of him remembering all this while his soulmate very much does not.]

[ could be her powers manifest when touched by her soulmate ]

[Kylo doesn't really care too much about being in physical pain and may very well be a bit of a masochist. That said, he's NOT a sadist which is likely to cause a lot of mixed feelings on his part.]
