This story took up a large part of my brain for a long time. It wouldn't exist without Reltic and FlauschigeSocken being there to support me.

Thank you to DeacTania and chanlixie9700 for your votes!! I saw them and they always brought a smile to my face. (And sorry for this shoutout, if you want me to remove your name I will.)

Thank you to you, and every reader who found... something, between the lines of this fic. Could be anything. I hope my words gave you some joy and happiness, aside from the heartache.

Soulmates are a tricky thing, and establishing them in a society as well as making them realistic was hard - I thought about writing this as an antithesis to soulmates, where they aren't soulmates but still in love. But I felt like that would open the door to such a large amount of longing and pain that I'm not prepared to face right now. So, lovemarks it was. And honestly, a perfect soulmate system can't exist - there's too many variables to human life and culture.

I had approximately 500 meltdowns when writing this fic, but also a galaxy brain moment or two (Chan wearing yellow!) and I learned a lot about flowers. My source for the mentioned flower lore is florgeous.com

I almost changed this fic's title to Blue Rose, after the song by UP10TION, but didn't, because when writing I listened to Diamond Heart by Alan Walker featuring Sophia Somajo, and this fic was named after Diamond Heart since almost the beginning.

If you have questions: feel free to comment or message me privately. I also have a twitter (tinystreetlamp) and a tumblr (thespacebetweenworlds) and I crosspost my fic to my ao3 account (tinystreetlamp).

(I was going to sketch some flowers and post them somewhere but guess how much I sketched - ONE fucking primrose)

Once again, thank you for reading, and I'd love to know what your thoughts and feelings are about this.

If you saw a typo: no you didn't ♡♡♡
