(so, so, soĀ many WIPs still sitting in my files, haha) Iām going to talk about one of my most recent WIPs now, because despite it being recent, itās also a soulmate AU, and while I love readingĀ those, I struggle with writing them. So!
Detective Conan it is! Also, KaiShin, because thatās basically the only ship I write for DetCoā¦
So! This is a Soulmate AU where the greatest secret of your soulmate is written in your wrist:
Shinichi hasĀ āKaitou KIDā written on his wrist;
Kaito hasĀ āEdogawa Conanā;
When Yusaku realizes what is written on Shinichiās wrist, he takes Shinichi to meet Toichi because he knows Toichi is KID, and he could not stand for his son to be fated to a grown adult with a son of his own.
Thankfully, he was notĀ Shinichiās mate. Yusaku allowed Toichi to live another day.
After Toichiās death and the disappearance of KID, Shinichi kind of⦠forgot about it. Sure, itās his mark, but he didnāt much care for that in the first place, so whatever.
Heās only reminded of who and what KID is when he flies by a heist. Itās a bit of a shock that his mark points him to a thief, butā¦
But then Conan happens, and he just. Forgets about it. Again. Because this is more stressing and pressing and justā he has much more to think about, and no time to even considerĀ his mark, ok?
Of course, then he starts going to KIDās heist AS Conan, and itās much more obvious that he is possibly his fucking soulmate. But. Well. Now he is Conan, and KID is⦠probably his own age. Great.
On the other hand of the spectrum, we have Kaito that goes through his life without ever knowing what his mark was supposed to be about⦠until he meets Edogawa Conan himself and he. realizes thatās a fake identity. of a kid.
Heās not a fucking pedophile!!!
Of course, there IS such a thing as platonic soulmates, so maybe⦠maybe thatās it. Kaito just⦠always dreamt of having a romanticĀ soulmate, but⦠well. Thereās nothing wrong with a non-soulmate romantic relationship, and he had a bit of a crush on Aoko before everything, so itās not like he canātĀ have a relationship still, justā¦
Of course, at some point Kaito discovers about Shinichiās true identity and things are. still complicated, but at least he doesnāt have to feel guiltyĀ for being fated to a child, so. thereās that, at least! :D
I⦠donāt have more than that, honestly. but I thought it was fun, this idea, so I also wanted to share it?
