the soulmate au but better
your typical soulmate au where a tattoo of your soulmate’s name appears on your xth birthday
person A is convinced that person B will be their soulmate
A wakes up on their xth birthday and is bitterly disappointed that it’s not B
it’s gotta be B’s relative or something though because they have the same last name?? but A has been to basically every family gathering and never even heard of this person, who the fuck is this soulmate and do they even exist
A never shares this with B because they don’t want to be embarrassed/it’s not really socially unacceptable to share your soulmate’s name before you find them/whatever
cue n years of angst
B comes out as trans/nb/genderqueer/other and changes their name
their new name matches A’s tattoo, A is overjoyed, all the feels
