In a world where you're born with the first name of your soulmate on your wrist, some people spend their whole lives waiting, while others know too many people with the same name.
Sherlock Holmes has always found the concept of soulmates frustrating and tiresome and, secretly, quite lovely. Or perhaps that's due to spending too much time in the morgue with Molly. Either way, as a boy, he found it quite frustrating that his soulmate has such a generic name. I mean, really, couldn't his parents have been a little more unique with their choice of names?
John Watson has spent most of his life ignoring the name on his wrist. He wasn't even sure he was gay, and what kind of person has such an odd name, anyway? So John keeps moving through life, intent on choosing his own path in life.
So what happens when these two cross paths?

Soulmate Au but it's Johnlock! (UNDER HEAVY EDITING- 10/19/2020)
The world has a funny way of putting two people together. Well, it's even stranger when everyone is born with different hints to finding their soulmate and staying with them. John has a very difficult time finding his soulmate, as he wasn't given much of anything to help in his later, trying times looking for who he was meant for. However, the boy had a pretty good idea as to what he was meant for. John played the clarinet. He often played by himself, different tunes and learned new songs on his own time. This was why John's music teacher took the initiative to sign John up as a possible clarinet player for the Central London jazz band for a concert. Sherlock, however, doesn't really seem to mind that he's markless. That was, until he met John. First, it was in a music store, finding an instrument to keep him out of trouble. Then, at John's school, where Sherlock had enrolled into the regional jazz band. Sherlock was, at first, unbeknownst to John's musical skill until he was watching the young man play with some of the greatest in the Central London jazz band. Sherlock had to know more about John. The setting takes place when John is 13 and Sherlock is technically 12, but they grow up apart and reunite when they're 16 and 15 respectively.Complete![Rules on the Fridge [A BBC Sherlock Holmes Fanfiction] (Completed)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/90779008-256-k96619.jpg)
