#Soulmate Prompts

[themirrorghost]

I can't write for the life of me, but I've just thought of a tasty soulmate-fic premise (romantic or platonic!):

When their eyes are closed, a soulmate can see what their other half sees.

Whether it's super clear, or just impressions, or perhaps the more one stares at something the clearer it gets, just imagine the potential.

Soulmates taking turns to close their eyes and communicate through notes to find eachother. Soulmates who know when the other's fallen asleep because it's completely dark on the other side. Soulmates who can't sleep because their other half is somewhere way too bright and have to write passive-aggressive notes asking if they could "please turn the lights down!" Soulmates who are bored and would rather watch the others everyday life, no matter how mundane. Soulmates who's friends and/or family make fun of them for zoning out to watch through their other halves eyes instead of paying attention.

And then, on the other hand? The angst potential is delicious-

Soulmates who are so desperate to stop their other half from knowing that they wear a blindfold, or straight up blind themselves, to prevent it. Soulmates who hate the thought of someone intruding on their private lives, whether they're meant to be together or not. Soulmates who have terrible home/work lives and hope against hope that their other half doesn't find out or worse. Soulmates who are abused or get into fights often, trying their damnedest to protect their eyes above all else. Soulmates who's eyes are damaged, accidentally or otherwise, terrified of the thought that their other half won't ever be able to find them.

There are so so many ways you can swing this:

One soulmate afraid that their other half had died, having never been able to see through their eyes. Their soulmate was born blind, and managed to see things they thought they never could/would thanks to their soulmate.

Soulmates that met during childhood, living their lives as a whole, using their connection for simple, silly, domestic reasons.

Familial soulmates! Twins who aren't quite psychic but know what the other is doing all of the time. Siblings who are stuck with eachother and pretend to hate it, but are secretly glad they'll always have the other. Found family where it feels like they've always had the other and are impossible to separate.

Long-distance soulmates, teaching eachother about where they were born/grew up, showing eachother things precious to eachother.

Daytime Vs Nighttime soulmates who are barely ever awake at the same time, treasuring those in-between moments.

Soulmates with nightmares, one waking up in a panic, blinking hard and trying to calm down as quickly as possible. The other getting glimpses of the aftermath as they blink, perhaps rushing to their side if they can, comforting their distressed soulmate.

College/University AU soulmates knowing too much about their other halves area of study. Writing eachother notes to go to bed or to eat when they both forget and stay up studying way too late.

Assassin/Spy AU soulmates, using their bond to complete their missions as effectively as possible. Or perhaps the assassin/spy's soulmate is their target. Especially tasty if you throw in undercover work.

I could write a million of these prompts-

Soulmate AU Ideas ✨

❥ Hello! 👋🏽 I came up with a few more OTP ideas, this time for the soulmate AU! I know this one is super duper popular & there are a lot of these prompts that I love so much, so I wanted to give it a try! Hopefully it comes off as unique enough? I didn’t want to repeat anything but I think it’s okay! 👍🏽 Thank you & enjoy!

A person has a special watercolor tattoo on their arm that resembles a flower. The flowers start as buds & grow as time goes on, but there can be a pair with the same flower as others! Because once you meet your soulmate, the flowers bloom into your soulmates favorite flower!

Everyone is gifted a special animal companion when they become of age, who will lead you to your soulmate when the time comes. To make it easier, each person is given a special charm with their partner’s animal friend on it. Think of it like a spirit animal!

Each person is born with a constellation on their body & their soulmate has the same one. The stars in the constellation glow when you’ve met them.

Similar to the “first words prompt” except the words look a bit scribbly & are hard to read. When soulmates meet, their words straighten out & turn a pretty gold color.

A tattoo of the place you’ll meet your soulmate: when you two meet the tattoo disappears. However, there aren’t any words or texts that say what or where the place is. Sometimes it can even be someplace simple, like a park or a library!

Different animals or insects can symbolize love: every person has a tattoo of one of these specific creatures. Who will appear right before meeting your soulmate. Once you meet them, the mark disappears.

A person is born with a special mark on their body, in the shape of a heart, which changes color depending on their soulmates mood! The heart becomes white once soulmates meet!

Okay you think soulmate au for a fic, what has your favorite prompt been? Any fandom, but what was the soulmate system used that you just loved?

[dumplingsjinson]

List of “you’re my soulmate and I don’t know how to feel about that information” prompts

“You’re telling me you’re my soulmate? Fuck that, I’d rather eat dirt.” 

“So you’re the reason why I keep getting random pen marks on my arms!” 

“You need to stop tripping over everything because I keep getting my knees skinned and they’re not healing!” “It’s not my fault I was born to be clumsy!” 

“…How long have you known?” “Since we were eighteen.” “Why didn’t you fucking tell me?” 

“You’re telling me I only have a year left to live?” 

“I think my soulmate might actually be a fucking murderer? Do I call the police or what.”

“The fact that you’re my soulmate makes me so fucking livid. Why the fuck is it you?” “Well, do you think I want us to be tied by the red string of fate?” 

“I don’t believe in this shit.”

“You have shitty music taste, let me tell you that much.” “Yeah, like you’re any better.”

“Can we like, change soulmates? ‘Cause this ain’t it.” “I’m not that bad. Don’t be a twat about it.” “They called me a twat! Can you believe this?! Soulmates don’t call each other names!” 

[citruscitrushope]

Idea I've been thinking of for a bit now, which I like to call "Hanahaki Without the Death".

When you first start to develop feelings for your soulmate, you start giving off flower petals when you're near them.

It's not entirely clear where they come from, simply falling from your fingertips, or leaving a trail as your walk, or seeming to fall off of you like water droplets. Waking from a dream about them with petals on your pillow, someone hiding from a crush causing a pile of flowers to form.

At first, they're mere petals, but as your feelings intensify buds start to fall, then full flowers, only stopping once you confess your feelings.

There's nothing wrong with this happening, it won't kill you, but it sure is hard to hide your crush on someone when you look like a flower girl around them, right?

Though, there have been stories of people locking themselves away to hide their secret, and the ever-growing flowers began to take root and chain them down...

Soulmate au

A world where once you turn a certain age the first words of your soulmate's would be engraved in your arm. Lucky ones would get nice, cool or memorable words, others were not as lucky.

Your f/o is one of them, with the words "Thirst trap" tattooed permanently on.

[exceptional-z]

my favourite soulmate au's that i want to use for zeddison:

each others’ names (or initials) on their wrist

first words to one another on their wrists

matching soulmark/tattoo that's unique to them

a timer for when they first meet

writing that says how old your soulmate will be when you meet

writing that says what your soulmate is most passionate about

each year imprinted on your arm, whispered in a dream, sent in a mail or whatever, is a hint to who your soulmate

each day on your arm is a particular event your soulmate will face today. (ex: promotion, family death, new pet, meeting soulmate…)

meter of how dangerous or in danger your soulmate is

the first sentence you say to your soulmate gets written on yourself after you say it

whenever someone describes your soulmate, those words appear in a special journal

you see colour for the first time when you meet, fades away when they die

you stop aging at a certain age, until you meet your soulmate

your heartbeat is morse code for your soulmates name

soulmate’s heart beat on your wrist

write something on your own skin, appears on the other’s skin

your eyes are your soulmate’s hair colour

at the corner of your eye, you can see a blurry vision of whatever your soulmate is doing

you can feel a tug from wherever your soulmate is and it's stronger tugs whenever your soulmate is in distress

everyone gets little books of what people think about their soulmate (but never said out loud)

literal sparks fly when you're near your soulmate, soothing for the two of you but static shock for others

[droptheprompt]

Could you come up with some uncommon soulmate AU’s please? Thank you

Hello :)

Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of soulmate AUs so I have little to no idea about the tropes floating around.

But one of my friends wrote a soulmate AU featuring a Soulmate goose. Aka, a goose follows the person around and chases them towards their soulmate. It was a hilarious read and I haven't seen it anywhere else yet.

Other than that, I don't think I've seen Being able to see through their soulmate's eyes trope around. It would be similar to being able to hear the other's thoughts, just with sight. Could be interesting if one of the pair/group is blind or has some other vision impairment.

Balancing each other's skills could also work in an interesting way. Aka when one of the soulmates is great at cooking, the other absolutely sucks at it. (I can see this being made into a crime/horror story tbh)

Also can't forget the hell's spawn soulmate AU of The last words, where the last words of one's soulmate are on the other's body. That one hurts.

I hope I was able to give you at least some ideas :) Take care!

Writing Prompts

For Requests or Inspiration:

Soulmates:

People see in black and white until they meet their soulmate

People dream their soulmate's dreams

If you write on your body, it appears on your soulmate's body

If you get hurt, your soulmate feels your pain

One of your eyes is the color of your soulmate’s eyes

If your soulmate colors their hair, your hair turns the same color

You have a tattoo with their first words to you on your body (you don’t have a tattoo when your soulmate is mute or uses sign language)

You stop aging when you meet your soulmate

You have a tattoo where your soulmate first touches you

You both have matching tattoos

When you first touch you feel something, see something on your body

There’s a red string connecting you to your soulmate

Watches tick down to finding soulmate

Can’t be physically away from soulmate or it hurts you

Voice in your head is your soulmate’s

you have the name of your best friend tattooed on one arm and your soulmate on the other. Have fun finding out which is which…

You can choose to find your soulmate by getting a timer installed but if your soulmate doesn’t, it won’t work. (As in the movie “Timer”)

Soulmarks have been absent for decades, maybe centuries, until one day the resurface like a pandemic. Existing relationships are questioned…

Complications:

You don’t have a soulmate mark/tattoo. (Could be because your Soulmate is deaf/uses sign language)

Your soulmate breaks the bond before you get to meet them.

Their first words to you are in a language you don’t speak - is it written in that language or translated so when they say them, you won’t understand?

Your soulmark is so basic you don’t know how you will find them at all.

Everyone around you has found their soulmate but you.

Your soulmate is the person you despise the most.

Your soulmate is a celebrity/known person.

Your soulmate is already in a committed relationship or vice versa.

You find your soulmate but you can’t be together.

You love someone who’s not your soulmate.

For MHA or similar fandoms: Your soulmate has a mutation quirk/is a villain. You were shunned as a child for liking someone like them and have been trying to convince yourself to like someone “socially acceptable” until you turn eighteen and your soulmark tells you to be true to yourself.

Honorary mentions, meaning I saw this only written once and feel like there’s some sort of copyright on these ideas: 

When your soulmate touches you, it leaves imprints on your skin that fade away again. (Fingerprints written by @andypantsx3 - I have never seen this idea before. As it’s eventual smut, I did not read all of it, so beware)

You have their first words tattooed on your body but in this specific case you’re the only known person who has the name of your soulmate tattooed as well and he’s a celebrity (Cover You In Oil written by @star-trekkin-across-theuniverse  never seen anything like this before and it’s one of my most loved fics - There is smut in this however so I did not read all of it. But I loved what I did read.)

So Dark Soulmates AUs just crossed my dash and my brain went immediately into WinterBaron overdrive with a couple of these...

Particularly a combo of:

Soulmates are supposed to live and die together. That means as soon as soulmates lay eyes on each other, their souls get entwined, so that if one dies the other does too. It has become quite common to hire people that specialize in finding and killing soulmates, so that they never randomly meet them and risk dying through them.

Starting at age 18, people will stop aging until they find their soulmate to grow old with. Many people don't want to give up possible immortality and hire hitmen to get rid of their soulmates.

Soulmates feel each other's pain and criminals use this to torture two people at once.

Which in my mind has become (more under the cut this got long)

HYDRA trying to hunt down who Bucky's soulmate is at first to prevent him from aging and having his soul entwined so that they can keep their asset, but after decades they just assume Bucky's soulmate is already dead, since it doesn't seem like he's reacting to any kind of unexplainable pain at all early on. It isn't until Zemo's in the military that he actually winds up hurt enough to cause any pain to HYDRA's asset, but because he's in cryo so often the sensation of pain isn't registered, and it's not like the wounds leave any marks. Instead, the first time an unexplainable pain is registered through the Asset is during the fall of Sokovia - Zemo's leg gets pinned, and the Asset (Bucky, slowly reclaiming his identity) finds himself stumbling. Having assumed, himself, at this point that if he had a soulmate they must be long dead, Bucky is perplexed by this sudden occurrence, and finds himself chatted up by a kindly old lady who remarks that she hopes his soulmate didn't hurt too much. ("Oh, stubbed their toe did they? It always catches you off-guard!" she speaks from her own experiences, not realizing that a stubbed toe wouldn't be nearly the kind of pain that would typically make him stumble that way. Zemo, of course, hasn't been oblivious. Neither he nor Heike began to age when they met, he didn't feel Heike's pain when she went into labour, he hadn't felt any of her pain, and while they were genuinely in love, it was clear that they weren't one anothers' soulmates. Nevertheless, she was the person he had chosen and the loss of both her and their son still sets him off on his plan to deal with the Avengers. The time in which Zemo and Bucky see each other isn't what makes things clear - it isn't as though anyone notices their bodies beginning to age so quickly. In fact, it's when the fight Zemo initiates between Tony and Steve and Bucky begins that it clicks for Zemo, but he's in too much shock from the revelation to really process it. It's outside, in the snow, that reality really starts to crawl in; he took his revenge for the sake of his wife and child, and in so doing he manipulated and fucked up the life of his soulmate. (Cue additional reasons for T'Challa's interference.) Being in prison, isolated as Zemo was, the only one who feels any real pain from anything is Zemo, but there's no real way to be oblivious to the fact that Bucky is finally aging, even though he has no answers for the people who ask about who his soulmate is. The blip is a strange anomaly for everyone; some peoples' soulmates are blipped, and yet it doesn't kill the remaining soulmate, leaving many people actually quite hopeful about people coming back. Zemo, however, has no way of knowing that Bucky was among those blipped. Things proceed as usual, Zemo doesn't make any comments on anything, and it isn't until, in a NZPU and Zemo is kidnapped that Bucky really catches on. Zemo's been tortured before, sure, but this is the first time Bucky's been active during that, and so the moment Bucky and Sam manage to recover Zemo, and Bucky sees the obvious injuries, Bucky finally realizes.

Anyway, as usual, that's the jist of what I've got. Just spewing some thoughts. You know. Enjoy them. Or don't. Adopt them. Or don't. Whatever pleases you.

TBH I'm too hot to function or make the rest of my brain work enough to make this make more sense I just have rambling thoughts...

SOULMATE PROMPT

when soulmates meet for the first time, they‘ll know they have found each other through the ring appearing on the finger where one would place an engagement ring. the ring mirrors the personality of their other half. If both accept their feelings the rings will turn into matching ones, a complete set of identical wedding bands. Once the wedding rings have formed you can‘t deny your feelings, be with or marry anyone else, since you‘ve already found your perfect match.

Removing the rings would equal killing your soulmate, since it‘s til death do us part.

Can I request 🌹 for daydream soul mate prompt

"when soul mate get hurt a flower would grew on that spot"

You remembered one of the first times those flowers grew on you. It was just on your finger, and you asked your parents what it was. They told you about the soulmate legend, and you thought it was so cool! Then they just kept growing. When the wound healed the flowers would die and wither.

Then one day they grew again, but they grew over one of your eyes and across your back. You screamed, panicking and wondering what was going on. Your family tried to calm you down, but you couldn't be calmed.

You were freaking out because what the hell happened to your soulmate? After that day, the flowers over your eye never died, so you were blinded in that eye but the ones that spread across your back went away after a while.

Over the years, you got used to the flowers over your eye. They were annoying, but you were able to deal with it, luckily and you always keep an eye out for anyone that had one damaged eye but you've never met anyone like that. It was strange; it sort of felt like they just... weren't there.

Then you met him.

He appeared out of a swirling portal one day, two others coming out with him. You could, honestly, not care less about the other two the leader was the one that caught your attention. He was covered in this... goop? It had the same color as the sky when the sun was setting but darker, and tentacles that were whipping around on his back. Over his eye was more of that goop, the same eye that was covered in flowers for you.

This was your soulmate?

The other two jump down from where they had been, the goopy one starting to talk, "Greetings everyone. I am Daydream, and I am here to make everyone happy. It is very nice to meet you all1" He laughs, holding up his arms, "I can tell many of you are afraid, but fear not, we are the good guys! Protecting you all from my terrible brother and his goons." the one with the large brush swipes it up and black ink spread out changing shapes. Horses all running together, sea animals swimming. It was beautiful.

The blue one starts to run around, greeting everyone in a happy tone. Even though they were all being so nice... you had a strange feeling in your gut. This didn't feel... safe.

Then your eyes met with Daydream's, and he blinks then smiles and moves down. He was coming right towards you...

Soulmates are made AU

Where the more you get to know someone and the more your bond strengthen, the more you're able to feel how the feel – feelings, emotions, physical pain, perhaps even hear their thoughts (which technically leads to telepathy) or share dreams..

And when you part ways, your connection break

Soulmates are made AU.

(Can be romantic, platonic, and of course when you become strangers, there's nothing left. Sometimes you just stop interacting. Sometimes they're still there but they distance themself for some reason and you can feel it, you can feel them go, and you don't know why and they won't tell you)
