Everyone in the world is born with the initials of their soulmate, the person they were born to love, tattooed somewhere on their body. The usual number is one, maybe two if that person was extremely lucky.

As you can see from the title, I am discontinuing this story. I began writing this story at the height of the pandemic. I was very isolated and very bored. I was hyperfixated on it for a while, but in the end I lost interest.
To be clear, I am still a fan of the boys and I always will be, but I am not /obsessed/ anymore.
Furthermore, I am entirely separated from the DSMP fandom, and I mistakenly made that a big part of this story in its second draft and current form. I wish I hadn't done this, because maybe I would have come back to it sooner. We'll never know.
The nail in the coffin that holds this story for me was the death of Liam. I will be entirely honest, Liam was never my favorite, before or after the hiatus. It was his chapter that gave me so much writer's block with this story in the first place.
His death hit me really hard.
In relation to this story, Liam served as a sort of deterrent. He was always a part of the soul bond, and they were always going to end up together, but I was going to have a lot of the drama stem from the insecurities and issues I was giving his character. As you can imagine, I now feel this is in incredibly poor taste.
In the back of my mind, I always hoped to come back, edit it, and finish the story I really wanted to tell. However, since so much of the story hinged on these aspects, I now find it impossible to work through.
I don't know how many people still care about this story, or how many may care in the future, so I have decided to publish my unfinished plans
This first part will be the beginning of chapter twenty... (the beginning is edited, towards the end it is just sentences detailing my plan)

Ophelia woke up slowly to the gentle rays of sunlight entering her bedroom window. Niall's arm was still wrapped tightly around her, his face buried deep into the crook of her neck.
