#y’all are soulmates

[seafoamdew]

I’d give anything. Just let him live.

[lividbrunette]

my professor (in my arthurian literature class) was talking about not using fan-wikis/fanfiction for the character profiles we were doing and then she brought up that there are a lot shipping Merlin and Arthur and everyone was like shocked/found it kinda funny and I was sitting there like oh … this is suddenly not a safe space lol

More Time (Please)

“Make him pay.”

Steve’s eyes widen in horror. “No,” he murmurs. “Please-”

He doesn’t know what he’s hoping for. That Eddie will say something else, maybe; that happens sometimes, right? People say things more than once. Surely this isn’t it, surely this isn’t the last time they’ll speak to each other—

Eddie’s eyes are widening, and Steve knows he feels the telltale burn of a soulmark, shearing the connection.

“Steve,” Robin calls, jogging back to tug on his arm. “We’ve gotta go, c’mon, it’s time.”

Numb, he lets himself be pulled away.

She glances at him, then back at Eddie a few times. “What was that about?”

He swallows the sob that wants to come out. “Our soulmarks.”

Her eyes widen. “Oh, Steve,” she murmurs.

He glances down at it. Still red. He knows it’s probably going to be the bats. He wishes any number of things, but is reminded of the story his grandma used to tell him. “There’s nothing we can do to change it,” he whispers along with the voice in his head, the same cadence as his grandma.

“Maybe,” she tries. “Maybe- you could go back now, just… yell something at him?”

“Don’t you think the soulmark would know?” He asks sadly. “You can’t cheat the system, Robs, not with this. Those are the last words I’ll ever hear him say.”

“I can’t lose you, Steve,” she whispers, and suddenly his eyes are filled with tears, and he attacks her in a hug, pulling her in until she squeaks.

“I love you, Robin,” he whispers.

“I love you. So much.”

“So much,” he agrees.

Up ahead, Nancy’s waiting on them. “Guys,” she calls. “We have to go. I know you’re scared, I am too, but we don’t have long.”

Steve takes a deep breath. “You’re right,” he agrees, and marches on, holding Robin’s hand tightly in his.

Neither of them try to let go until they have to.

Steve gets slammed against the wall by some vines, and they wind around him until he feels like he understands what asthma feels like, and then beyond that, cracking his ribs and bruising his throat, more, more, more, until suddenly they stop, release him, and he falls onto the wooden floor, scraping his hands and knees and earning a couple of splinters.

He hacks out a cough, stumbles back onto his feet, and follows Nancy and Robin into the belly of the beast.

They find Vecna right where they think they will and attack, and Steve thinks he’s screaming but the rushing of blood in his ears is louder than anything else, and he can’t hear himself, can’t check if he is, just keeps going, does what he can to help weaken Vecna, to help destroy him.

It’s over suddenly, Vecna dead, body riddled with bullets, and Steve glances down at his soulmark, hoping against all hope that it’s still red.

His heart drops through the floor when he sees grey instead.

He tears out of the house, sprints the entire way back, yelling for Eddie, but when he gets there he sees he really is too late.

Dustin’s sitting by his side, bottom lip quivering, tears streaming down his face, and Steve collapses next to him, flutters his hands around Eddie.

Ignoring the blood and gore, he looks almost peaceful, and Steve suddenly knows this is how he would look fifty years from then, dying from old age instead, in a world where their soulmarks gave them more time.

jordan li is the biggest softie in the world, a treasure that only marie gets to see. it first started when the two of them realized they really liked each other and they got over the elephant in the room… marie liked jordan for who they were, not what they looked liked.

that changed jordan.

what starts as awkward glances turns into stolen kisses when they see each other in the halls between classes. blushing pink cheeks and fighting smiles when marie compliments them. big, brown eyes that well up with tears when they watch sad movies together. the inability to keep their hands to themselves when they’re together, always wanting to touch her skin. whispering ‘i love you’ to her every chance they had. not being able to sleep unless marie was by their side.

the worst of all… the pouty sound of their voice when they beg marie to stay in bed for five more minutes because they desperately need more cuddles to start the day.

jordan would forever be marie’s big softie.

[the-obnoxious-sibling]

while i’m thinking of soulmate aus…

just, please imagine:

roguetown breakup happens as per canon, emotions are felt, tears shed, etc. etc., but the further out they are from that day, the more both shanks and buggy think to themselves that it was the right call. that guy wants to be a very different kind of pirate from me, if we were on the same ship i’d never get to do [xyz], it hurt a lot but this was for the best.

and then they turn eighteen and get a literal Message From The Universe that, uh, nope! that was the love of your life right there, actually! y’all fucked up!

buggy: well fuck you too, universe shanks: …either my life peaked at fourteen, or i’m gonna see buggy again someday. :-)

[georgcfan]

no one will ever understand *insert wlw ship* like I do

[storm2rain]

i fear no one on this entire planet will ever have better chemistry then boss and noeul, those two are so clearly soulmates, whether they are just best friends or whatever their relationship is they belong together i have never seen two human beings go that well together i cry

[pupkashi]

he makes me so not normal, i love him in every way possible

[kwop-kilawtley]

Hey Bella. Perhaps all of the catastrophic events happening around you when you involve yourself with Edward is a SIGN.

[makyurini]

i miss writing military men with mommy kinks :(

[adriancatrin]

i’m over the whole concept of wips. be done already. get out of my head

[showinalittlelife]

every love song ever written is about satosugu because they invented love btw

[gargalesisandchins]

probably my favorite aspect of kirk and spock’s relationship is that they complete each other but in exactly the opposite way you would expect. from a description of their blue and yellow dynamic you’d assume that kirk is the muscle and and spock is the brain, while it’s actually usually the other way around. and then my favorite part about this is that you would also assume that kirk is the heart, but really spock serves as kirk’s moral compass.

Fire Country 2x9 Spoilers ⚠️

Every episode I expect Bode to raise my blood pressure, but for once he was acting right all 45 minutes! Now Gabriela, Vince, and Manny on the other hand?? Yea I’m upset with y’all.

Gabs you lied to Bode basically the whole episode and then when he’s rightfully upset you turn it around?? And then you kiss him and call it chaos??? I love you but ma’am🙄 I’m not even saying she has to be with Bode (though I want them to be of course), but if she was honest about not being over him and working towards that instead of trying to hide from those feelings in this relationship there would be less chaos💀

Vince you know what you did. And you owned up to it. Though it took you being in physical and medical danger to tell the truth so I’m still a little annoyed.

Manny wtf was that??? 🤦🏾‍♀️

[phaginof]

it’s genuinely mind-boggling to me that dnp have been together so long that the sheer one in a trillion chance of a relationship like theirs existing seems like. not even novel to them. like they’re so comfortable and happy and settled in their love and life together that theyve basically forgotten there was a much more likely version of events where they never even met each other. like they almost can’t conceive of it. I FEEL SICK
