#Ack now I'm thinking about it when I should be dedicating my braincells to a different fic

[shyspider]

I just read a fic called Bedlam. It's a really original story thats a mesh of transformers universe but mainly focuses on tfp. I doen't want to spoilt to much if you haven't read it but there is a 'soulmate' situation later in the story thats made in a very interesting and well written way. I was wondering if you have any plans for a future story that has a bot-human soulmate/sparkmate situation? I Like the thought that a con or bot find themself before a human and then realise that their 'other half',and the ramification that comewith the realization that other could be in simular situations .Also if you haven't read this fic I highly recommend it!

First I'm going to leave a link to the fic you mentioned in case that sounds like it's up anyone's alley. https://archiveofourown.org/works/39643506/chapters/99242037

Do I currently have plans to write a soulmate AU? No. But do I have a concept and a few notes written for a Transformer soulmate AU? Yes...

Full disclosure, soulmate/fated mate tropes are one of my least favorite romantic relationships to read in a story. But it is the fave of my best friend, who really wanted me to read her favorite series 'Ice Planet Barbarians' by Ruby Dixon, which is ALL fated mate pairings. So I do, and of course I immediately come up with an OC who just defies the soulmate premise, just fights and rages against it, refusing to let their freedom of choice be taken. And then I applied that concept to Transformers.

So, currently, I have the worldbuilding mapped out: TFP universe with a soulmate concept that I haven't seen in any other fics (but I don't read a lot of soulmateAUs, so maybe someone has). I have our friend group planned, and I know the kind of role I would want 'you' to play. And I know I'm going to lean heavily into the 'enemies to lovers' trope. I'd give more details, but I want to leave some for mystery. Right now, the idea is just sitting in a text doc, waiting for an ending (because I never move to phase 2 in my writing process until I come up with an ending)
