Rare Pair Week Day 7: Free Day (Soulmate AU!)
Different species have different Soulmate indicators. However, if you and your soulmate are different species, then you also have each other’s indicators as well.
Starting with my trash ship, Morgangor. Trolls have markings to help identify their soulmate. It’s not always the same but for these two it is. It’s the Shadow Staff. Humans swap bodies on the 18th birthday of the younger member.
Kreli were very happy to find each other. Fairies have a timer on their wrists that count down until they find their soulmate. Akoridians glow from their core. Since Eli is a fairy, his wings are what glows.
(Originally they were both going to wear their supernatural clothes but I couldn’t figure out Krel’s space suit.)
Mary was flat out terrified about meeting her soulmate. Mermaids have rings that show their soulmate’s emotions. Seamus, being a werewolf, transformed every full moon and Mary’s ring turned black (The color of death). After they found each other and figured everything out, however, they were both much happier and their rings were purple (love) more than any other color.
Troll based polymorphs have both the body swap of humans and the mark of trolls. Jim was distraught when he first learned that his soul mark was an Akoridian core. He feared that he would never meet his soulmate. Aja was just confused. No one could translate the runes on her circular birthmark. They finally found people who could translate their marks when they found each other. Only then did they learn that they had had their soulmate’s name the whole time.
Finally, my favorite, Janbach. Lenora had black music notes across her back in a way that almost looked like tattoos. They were a bit difficult for her to hide until tats really became popularized. Otto had the Greek theater masks (Comedy and Tragedy) on his wrist, just above his timer. After all, what goes together better than theater and music.
