"Soulmate" Mark Idea
Soulmate marks are an interesting idea, but why should the marks only tell you about a soulmate? Why not something else?
Imagine an AU where everyone has a mark indicating the person who will have the greatest impact on their life. This mark can change as a person goes through different stages of life or remain the same.
Babies usually have a soulmark representing one of their parents, and parents their children. Soulmarks can switch between parents, or always stay the same, or represent people other than their parents.
In adulthood, the rate the mark changes tends to slow down, and the mark can represent lovers, close friends, bosses, a stranger who saves their life, a roommate, or anyone whose impact on their life will be profound.
Marks do not have to be mutual, nor do they have to represent a good impact. Mortal enemies can have mutual soulmarks. It can represent a landlord, someone who killed a loved one, a business rival, someone who starts a years long harassment campaign, an unhealthy obsession, a stalker, etc.
After an election, many people will find that their soulmark is the president/prime minister. These people are frequently sought out to help participate in reelection campaigns if the current administration significantly improved their living situation.
Murder investigations frequently look at the soulmark of the victim to check if it represents the killer.
You can tell a lot of soulmate stories with this premise, but with the added nuance that the "impact" of the person indicated by a soulmark isn't guaranteed to be good. You can also have an enemies to lovers story where the main characters think they know exactly what the soulmark means, so the "to lovers" part comes completely by surprise.
I think it would be cool if instead of telling you your "ideal partner" a soulmark basically told you "hey, you see this person? This person's going to make your life more interesting. How? Guess you'll find out!"
