Riding in his carriage toward the family of his bride-to-be, Fitz was exceedingly displeased. 

However, he was always displeased to be in London. It stank and the courtiers were scheming, grasping and obsequious. They thought of nothing but what they could fit in their pockets or have bequeathed to them. 

He liked to think he was far above such things. But, in truth, he merely had other interests and, until recently, he’d believed, enough money to get on.

But when his father had passed, leaving the lands and estates to him, he’d discovered that his father had been carefully hiding a secret: their money was nearly at an end. 

His father had never been a kind man, and he held no illusion that he’d meant to spare his family the grief. No, he’d meant to spare himself the humiliation of years of gambling debt and bad investments. 

Now, for the sake of his poor mother and to stop the foreclosure on his family’s estates, he was relegated to this sudden engagement. He hated it for all the reasons he hated the other courtiers, except now, he also hated it about himself. 

Arriving at the door to his bride-to-be’s home, he stepped from the carriage and walked to the door. He would meet his fiancée, they would marry and then they would set off back to Scotland and his family’s seat at Lochmaben Castle, shortly. He dreaded each and every part of the plan.

A butler opened the door and, as he was expected, gestured him inside. He removed his heavy cloak and handed it to the butler who gave it to another servant for storage.

Fitz followed the butler to a ballroom that was filled with people for the engagement party. A herald at the door announced him formally. “Earl Annandale, Leopold Malcolm Alastair Hamish Graham Stewart Fitz,” the young man called out as they entered.

He was greeted by several of his countrymen from court looking to congratulate him and then he was led to his bride-to-be’s father. He took Fitz’s hand in a crushing grip, smiling all the while. 

Following their brief discussion about the ceremony, Fitz was brought to a veritable tribe of young women, seven or eight of them standing about together. He was vaguely gestured to the petite one with brown hair, freckles and whisky eyes. 

He stepped closer slightly warily. Hand to his chest, he bowed and said, “How do you, my lady Jemma? I am most pleased to find you well.” He did his best to make himself understood. His thick brogue sometimes made it difficult for the English to understand him.

[myloyaltiesliewithscience]

     This isn’t how she had pictured her life to be, but then again it would have been foolish to have goals and dreams in a world like this. Jemma was quiet through out the entire ordeal. The gathering of the guests, the introductions that were being made. Her mother would have found it quite rude that she would not even smile, but perhaps someone would catch on and noticed that she wasn’t happy about this. She didn’t know the man she was to marry, it had just been decided for her. Something about nobility and having a great name; What was wrong with her family name? Why did it have to be this way? 

Again, questions like those would be considered inappropriate so she left them unvoiced. Still, a small part of her hoped that someone would save her from this. Guests continued coming, the women would all look at her as she stood there by her mother’s side, trying to keep a better posture, but the gown literally made it hard for her to keep balance while the corset only made it hard for her to breathe. Or perhaps she just wanted to run out of the ballroom and find a space for herself to cry. But she wouldn’t; Jemma Simmons refused to be known as cry baby, otherwise no one would take her seriously.

As soon as the name was called out for her soon to be husband’s arrival, it was hard to keep up with the false pretense of being happy when the reality was setting in that after this, nothing could be done. If she didn’t speak up now, then there would be no other choice for her but to go through with it. Why was she this way? most women would have been happy to find a handsome man so she’s been told but, then again, she wouldn’t exactly be considered to be most women.

All thoughts were pushed aside when a young man approached her. At first she couldn’t meet his gaze, and noticed the thick accent, and how he was trying his best to be understood. She had to bite back a laugh but when she did meet his gaze, she wasn’t going to deny that the rumors of him being handsome were indeed true. 

Rather than responding back just yet, she stood there silently, mainly because she was waiting for him to say something else. While many would consider that to be a rude gesture, she had to be sure for herself that she wasn’t agreeing to marry someone impatient. And because placing him in a somewhat awkward scenario seemed more amusing than anything else, but it also gave her a chance to come up with a better response that didn’t involve stuttering out of nervousness. 

Was he really pleased about seeing her? “You as well.” came her own response, but only because she feared if she spoke too much she may just end up being honest about this entire ordeal. “Hope the trip here wasn’t all too rough?” small talk, should be good enough? Besides it’s not as if they’d be able to speak properly with all eyes and ears on them.

[otpandocprompts]

Person A and B were initially betrothed to be married, and have fallen deeply in love, however, Person A’s parent(s) receive a more attractive proposal from Person C, and as such have cancelled the arrangement with B’s family, simultaneously starting a war or conflict while dividing A from the person they love most.

ETA: additions to this post (and fic recs!) are in this tag!

YOU KNOW WHAT THE BEST THING EVER IS? IT’S SOULMATE AUS LIKE GOD DAMN I HAVE SEEN SO MANY ON FFN/LJ/AO3/TUMBLR OVER THE YEARS LIKE:

the one where you only see color once you meet your soulmate(s) (so you don’t know them until you see them), and it goes away when they die

the one where you don’t know your soulmate(s) until you touch them

the one where you don'y know your soulmate(s) until you hear them speak, or hear them speak a certain word; your name, for example

the one where you get the name of the person in their handwriting on your body somewhere at a certain age

the one where the first thing they say to you appears instead

the one where you get each others’ fingerprints

the one where you get matching marks/symbols/tattoos

the one where your marks or words that change depending on what’s going on with your soulmate(s)

the one with the clock that counts down the time until you meet your soulmate(s) (multiple clock for multiple soulmates? one click until you meet them both? unexpected third soulmate showing up after the clocks drop?)

the one where when you sleep you dream of whatever they’re experiencing from their point of view until you find them, or AFTER you find them

the one where you can straight up talk to them in dreams until/after you find them

the one where you form a telepathic/empathetic link until/after you find them

the one where you share extreme physical sensation until/after you find them; if one of you hurts the other one hurts, if one of you is getting lucky the other one gets a little hot and bothered

the one where the closer you are to them the more aware of them you become, and you find them playing a hot/cold game; for instance, colors get brighter and brighter the closer you are and fade into gray when they’re too far away

the one where once you turn a certain age/one night a year you swap bodies with them for one night and you have a limited amount of time to leave/collect clues to their identity

the one where being next to your soulmate(s) can heal you from things people don’t normally heal from

the one where only your soulmate(s) can kill you (maybe you can still be killed by age/disease, maybe not, maybe you become vulnerable only after you lose your soulmate(s))

the one where reincarnation is also a thing and meeting your soulmate(s) either unlocks or erases memories or your past lives until the next one

the one where in universes with magic meeting your soulmate(s) activates your powers/unlocks more powerful magic

SOULMATE AUS WITH COMPLICATIONS:

blind characters who can’t see if the world’s in color or black and white

characters like x-men’s rogue who literally can’t touch people; characters who have been through trauma who don’t want to touch people

hard of hearing characters like clint barton who can’t hear their soulmate speak without hearing aids/at all or on the flipside characters who can’t speak; maybe it still works in sign language, or maybe it doesn’t

people who can’t read/can’t read the language the words on their body are in

characters like bucky barnes who’ve lost hands and/or had their fingerprints removed

soulmate clocks that time out in the middle of the crowd; there’s an entire craigslist category for finding who else was there that day with a clock that timed out too

famous characters speaking to or performing for a crowd and suddenly their world is in color/their clock times out/etc and every member of the audience pretends to be this celebrity’s soulmate and a cinderella type situation ensues with the finding

soulmates playing the hot/cold game and they kEEP MISSING EACH OTHER

insomniacs who rarely sleep, much less at the same time/different time than their soulmates

soulmate ot3s/ot4s/otmores where you dream in varying people’s povs every time you sleep and get super confused

people who get sick or injured and frantically search for their soulmates so they can survive

people who need to be in medically induced comas and their soulmates have to stay away so they don’t accidentally wake them up

the one where soulbonding is actually a choice and someone chooses to bond with someone they may not know or like to save their lives and have to figure out if they can unbond or if they have to live with the situation (and of course learn to love one another either romantically or not)

new souls who don’t get memories of past lives because they don’t have one and panic

muggles/people without powers who of course CAN’T get them upgraded or unlocked

COMBINATION AUS:

the one where you one or both of you have to do all three (see your soulmate(s), touch your soulmate(s), hear your soulmate(s)), or all three have to happen at least once between the 2+ of you

or it’s completely random how you find your soulmate(s): one of you gets a name and the other gets a fingerprint, one of you has to hear your soulmate and one of you has to see them, etc; particularly useful if you happen to be blind or deaf

same for characters with other disabilities/who have “complications”: they get or find a different way of finding their soulmates, not better or worse, just different

THEN THERE’S SOULMATE AUS THAT DON’T HAVE TO CONFORM TO LIFELONG MONOGAMY:

the ones where you have more than one romantic soulmate at the same time or you get a new soulmate after the first dies

the ones where people have multiple soulmates of different types and it’s color coded; a red name/mark/etc for love, a blue one for friendship, etc; for the ones where you start seeing color you get a new one for each soulmate

the ones where some people have romantic soulmates and some don’t, and those that don’t are still perfectly happy anyway, maybe in a relationship anyway, maybe not

the ones where some people have multiple romantic soulmates who may or may not also be soulmates with each other

aromantic or asexual people who have soulmates who are not and they manage to work it out

romantic and sexual people who don’t have soulmates but find happiness anyway, either with someone like them or someone not like them

SOULMATE AUS THAT EXPLORE THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SOULMATES BEING A THING:

the ones where soulmates are for everyone and get legal aid to help stay together, like if their in-laws try to keep them apart/someone risks getting deported/someone gets drafted/whatever

the ones where soulmates are super super rare and TECHNICALLY get exempted from shitty things like “people of different races/the same sex/etc can’t get married/have relations/etc” but maybe still face a lot of prejudice and they fight to get those types of awful laws lifted for everyone

agencies that exist to help you find your soulmate(s) or figure out which soulmate thing you have but some of them are just shams, bonus points for this being in a verse where the thing is exceedingly rare to begin with

people pretending to be soulmates to take advantage of the laws, for good or ill; the couple who loves just as fiercely as a soulmates who will do anything to stay together, or the shitty people who try to claim they’re mated to people who’ve rejected them so they “have” to stay together

tabloid mags photoshopping matching soulmate marks or following big legal cases where someone tries to prove or disprove that they are soulmates with someone else

soulmates in universes where they’re a rarity or rare soulmate types like ot3s/ot4s/otmores in dodging government officials because they don’t want to become lab rats

people who don’t believe in soulmates until it happens to them, or people who believe hardcore and want to find theirs but they don’t necessarily have one, or don’t have a romantic one

little rituals that make finding your soulmate more likely, like shaking hands with people as often as possible even with the cashier ringing up your groceries, repeating each other’s names after you’re introduced, etc

just give me alllll the soulmate aus ok, give me people finding each other in spite of complications, give me all the delightful plot twists, give me detailed worlds where this changes the norms, give me it working out in the end whether romantically or not, bonded or not

feel free to reblog with sources! (or MORE AUS.) a little over half of these are things i’ve seen elsewhere over time and i cannot remember where they are all from

haha or if you’re into this sorta thing you could just take pity on me and reblog it anyway this took an embarrassingly long time to type up oh my god ;;;;;;;;;

Some More ‘Platonic’ Marks/Other Variants of Soul Mark:

Polychromatic Marks: You get a mark with the name of everyone that’s important to you on your skin, in a color or mix of colors that describes the relationship:

a. Red is for Romantic love.

b. Orange is for close friendships.

c. Gold/Yellow describes mentoring/admiration/pride relationships.

d. Forest Green is sibling relationships.

e. Blue is parent-child relationships.

f. Purple is a forgotten/wistful relationship, such as a close childhood friend whom you moved away from and outgrew.

g. Silver describes a relationship with an uncertain nature.

h. Brown is someone you utterly oppose, be it idealistically, mournfully, or vengefully.

i. Black is when the person you feel that way towards dies.

Variants: You get a mark with other people’s names and their relationship to you. The marks move around your skin depending on your emotions/magical control (where applicable). Some people don’t get marks, for various reasons (i.e. albinism, magical shenanigans, etc.) and have to fight social stigma as ‘unloveable’ or ‘unloving.’

Death Marks: You get a mark on your skin with something related to your death - why/how/where/who/something ambiguous, etc. They ‘bleed’ from black to red when you die/are dying.

Variants: You can have multiple marks, for every time you might die. Your mark changes through out your life as your next potential death approaches. Marks are invisible/illegible until they approach. You have your soulmate’s death mark. You have the death marks of people killed. You have the death marks of people you saved. You have the death marks of people you cared about. You get white death marks for deaths you caused, and gold ones for people you saved (kintsugi), in addition to your ‘natural’ black death mark. People in high-risk situations get numb to death marks and get very cavalier about them - joking about them, giving themselves fake marks to get out of stuff they don’t want to do, giving each other fake marks as pranks, etc.

Reincarnation Marks: You have a list of your previous reincarnation’s names on your skin. 

Variants: These tend to follow in families, so long names lists are ‘prestigious’. “New” Souls are rare, and either admired or looked down upon. Souls that are close tend to wait for each other/reincarnate together. People that are still alive sometimes find (or hope to) their lost loved ones’ new incarnations. Sometimes “Soul Lists” disappear altogether, and no one knows what happened to that incarnation that they never came back. Certain incarnations are known for only showing up at major turning points in history. It becomes a thing to find such soul lists, a harbinger - these people are in turn revered or reviled, but they always tend to get celebrity status (And need protection) once their lists are exposed. Similarly, you only have to be the reincarnation of one particularly famous hero/villain for people to judge you.

“Blessings” - You’re born with a ‘blessing’ (from gods/ancestors/spirits/genetics) on your skin. These are usually something you’re good at, something you’re ‘destined’ for, or even something you can do far above average. (Like, ‘cleverness,’ or ‘strength’ or ‘kindness’)

Variants - highly dependent on the world/your choice of Blessing source. 

(P.S. If anyone uses these to write a fic, I would LOVE for you to let me know. My thirst for soulmark tropes knows no bounds.)
