hey you posted about soul mate au and my brain spiraled into a kingdon au where they're color blind until they touch their soul mate for the first time except it's not a switched flip thing its a little more each time thing so after that first day at the Pitt Mel's got a bit more color but then obviously it stalled out until Frank comes back and she doesnt even realize it until shes like hmm Langdons eyes are really blue, like *really* blue and Langdons like thats weird cause Abby says theyre a dull gray/blue and bc hes an idiot he doesnt realize it until later or something idk im just riffing
if you mean my most recent soulmate au post that i can happily say to you that i was 1000% thinking about kingdon while writing that
i absolutely ADORE the 'you see colors once you meet your soulmate' concept because??? hello??? you literally get to discover a brand new world with someone who's metaphysical essence is entwined with yours in ways that no scientist or poet could ever begin to understand or explain.
and to top it off, the childlike wonder and whimsy of going around and seeing everything in colors for the forst time??? them describing the colors for the first time, because that is their first time seeing them?? oh how i adore them.
also also- them getting new colors on their color wheel every time they get a bit closer? that feels like a reward to me
