-A soulmate story-
Sam and Eli are best friends, they have been for years and they tell each other everything. Well, almost everything.
Elias Grey has felt every cut, bruise and fracture that Samuel Rivera has received for eleven years. He has no idea why or how, but he doesn't care, just as long as Sam never finds out. The connection between them is anything but normal and everyone is convinced that there is more between the two of them than meets the eye.
But Eli's affections are strictly platonic, or at least, he thinks they are.
Fate ties us to our future. Could there be more than just pain keeping Sam and Eli tied to one another?

The Soulmate System
[ A VERY Slow-Burn, LGBT+ Soulmates Romance ] Dylan Matthews never wants to meet his Soulmate. So, when the inevitable finally happens, he expects to continue his life of obscurity, alone. Instead, he gets an awkward waltz of self-reflection, resistance, and lots of sarcasm. And hugs. ~ In a world with Soulmates, Dylan Matthews does not share the rose-coloured glasses everyone else does; he never wants to meet his Soulmate. Mercilessly mocked for his Glow anyway, he's content with his life of pushing people away, wishing he could be a writer, and keeping his head low at his job as a website coder. The problem: he doesn't get to decide if they meet or not, so it becomes a matter of waiting so he can outright reject them. One work trip and a blackout later, Dylan cannot escape his Soulmate no matter how far he runs; he works with them. He's ready to push them away, but can't. Something inside him, along with the dreaded Glow Feeling, wants to see this crash and burn on its own.
