🔮 – Does your muse believe in soulmates? How do you feel about writing Soulmate AU’s?

While the answer tends to change a bit depending on the verse (in some cases, she’s more cynical or jaded than others), as a rule of thumb Melissa generally believes (and adores!) the idea of soulmates and is a fierce matchmaker (it’s a hobby she’s extremely dedicated to, and which can get intense and very annoying for the other parties involved). The funny thing is - usually she is not a keen believer of that applying to her own fate.
And yet, that happens more frequently than she would care to admit. The soulmate idea is a running joke between @dojimakaichou and myself, actually; we have so many different verses written out for them and the way they always manage to find each other has been teased in character in a recent meme reply, even. XD But even in her original FFVII verse (where she owns a brothel and should be someone disillusioned in relation to love and soulmates given her profession and work environment), it still happened rather routinely and it took her by surprise every. Single. Time.
So, long story short: Melissa believes in soulmates and frequently gets a happy ending with hers, much to her amazement, haha.
In terms of the AUs, I actually love it. :) I’m a sucker for star-crossed lovers and that sort of thing, and people fighting gods or the fate or the universe to be together if they’re meant to. I really enjoy the idea of people meeting in different verses and having that lingering familiarity because they were soulmates in another plane, and that sort of energy leaving a trace. Basically: yes, give me all the good romantic and wholesome things (even if it has a bunch of dramatic and angsty stuff in the middle) because this is 100% a thing for her that I enjoy writing out. :D
