Summary: A soulmate is the perfect complement to your soul, his mother had told him as a child. But it does not always mean you have to be in love with them.
He is not in love with Wei Wuxian. They both know this, have known this since the beginning, and still Wei Wuxian had chosen to come.
My comments: Wwx spends a year tending to lwj's golden core, because only his soulmate can fix its injuries... but lwj is afraid of a soulbond (he has only his parents for a role model) and rejects wwx as soon as he's fully recovered. Wwx is heartbroken, of course, and returns to Lotus Pier and goes into seclusion. Lwj, meanwhile, begins to realize that he's missing something, and that maybe he was wrong about soulbonds being detrimental after all.
*This story was the inspiration for @moominmammamia‘s to arrive late is better than not to arrive at all, post here -- so if you finish it and want MOAR soulmate-related angst and miscommunication, you should put that on your list as well.
