Your choice for the soulmate au meme (for Will!)
the one where when you dream you’re seeing whatever your soulmate is currently experiencing.
Jemma was fourteen years old when her dreams changed. Before then she’d dreamed of flying, of school, of working hard always chasing something… then they started turning dark, not in tone, or just in tone but in that it was always night in her dreams, an endless blue haze filled her dreams. The night dream her fought and killed the man who was not himself she woke up screaming.
She had been working on her PhD thesis, was going to be the youngest ever at Cambridge to do so- but her dreams stayed nightmares and they wouldn’t change. She knew what it meant, her soulmate was in trouble. Other people told her she was panicking, that her normal dreams were her soulmate dreams, dreams that took place on some alien world with two moons were just nightmares and nothing to do with her soulmate. Jemma knew better because she didn’t have normal dreams. Unless her soulmate was a singing fish, they were trapped on an alien world.
Her search brought her to SHIELD but no one knew of people on a world with two moons in eternal twilight, the lake monsters, the caves with luminescent strata that filled her Soulmate Dream Journal were as mysterious to them as they were to her. Or so she thought- she feared she had wasted her time here at SHIELD when she was approached by an older man named Gideon Malick. He had information on men who had left Earth behind on the day her dreams changed- He showed her the monolith and gave her a puzzle to put her brilliant mind to.
Jemma was sixteen when she was unknowingly recruited to solve Hydra’s greatest project. All she knew was she was going to bring her soulmate home…
