If you could know the exact moment you would meet your soulmate would you want to?

It's the year 2023 and people have perfected an implant device that tests the carriers blood and hormones to determine their perfect soulmate. These implants are as simple as a watch that countdown to the very second that they will meet that person. 
This however comes with rules;

1. Timers can only be implanted in humans ages 13 and up.

2. Timers will only begin to countdown if both sides have the implant.

3. Timers are 100% accurate and guarantee your happiness but have no guarantee for immediate satisfaction time wise. 

4. Timers have no boundaries, fate does not respect race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or relationship status.

5. If your soulmate dies your counter will fall off and there is no chance for another perfect match.

Follow a rag tag bunch of people as they come to terms with the new age and search for their other halves.

WHY IS THIS STILL GETTING READS IT'S FREAKING 2022 HELP Dream grew up in a world where when you turn 16, you cough up your first flowers. It's not very painful at first, but the flowers get bigger and more frequently coughed up over a span of 2 years. If you haven't found and kissed your soulmate by the time you turn 18, you die of the "disease." The flowers are your soulmate's favourite color(s). Their gender is shown by what kind of flower it is: buttercups for female, roses for male, and oleanders for any others. Once you kiss your soulmate, the flowers retreat over a span of a week, finally leaving forever. If your soulmate dies before you find them, the flowers turn black, and the progression of the flowers stops. If you kiss anyone who is not your soulmate (outside blood relatives), then 2 months get taken off of your time to find your soulmate. If you have more than one soulmate (the max is 3), the flowers will be oleanders and will have two different colors the flowers can be. //Yes, I know that's not what Hanahaki disease is. Don't attack me please.// Dream's been waiting for a month over a year to find his soulmate. His best friends, Nick and Zak, already found theirs. Well, Nick has two: Alex and Karl. Zak's is named Darryl. So that just left Dream, and he was running out of time to find his soulmate, not finding any boys with the favourite colour being delft blue. His hopes get lifted, however, when a new kid transfers: George. But what do you do when your potential soulmate doesn't want to find his?
Severed Souls by thriving-13

Having a soulmate is such a beautiful concept until the one meant for you leaves you alone in the world with nothing to soothe the pain or fill the hole. It doesn't matter how they leave, nothing makes the pain go away. Unless you find someone willing to be your second chance, to try to create the connection that was severed from another. Everest didn't want another mate, nor did Matias, but the universe seems to have other plans for them.

-completed- Jack looked down at the timer on his wrist and sighed. In 6 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds, he was supposed to find his soulmate. Ironically, he had a Vid-Con panel with some friends that day. He often turned down the possibility that it might be one of them, and he assumed that it would be some random event. Possibly a phone call, or someone wandering on stage. He didn't really understand how the clock worked, all he knew was that the second your clock hits zero, you would kiss your soulmate. You can't control it. They may be in a completely different country, but your brain makes you fly there. Nothing gets in the way. Mark looked down at his wrist. He couldn't help but wonder who his soulmate might be, all he knew was that he'll be with them in 6 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds. ~~~~~ Hey! So this is the clock soulmate au, but with a twist. When the clock hits zero, they'll kiss their soulmate.

[Completed✅] There is a spark in the side of your view, which manifests at age five. The closer you are to your soulmate the bigger/stronger the spark gets. When your soulmate gets hurt the spark turns blue for however long the person is being hurt (Not how long they are hurt after the fact). The spark is normally an Orange/Yellow/Red colour. After your first kiss with your soulmate (even a peck on the lips) the spark becomes a flame, which still turns blue if your soulmate gets hurt. If your soulmate dies the spark of flame fizzles out. This book has: - Yaoi (Gay things) - Cursing - Abuse - Slight Mentions of Rape - Self Harm and Self Destructive Thoughts - Gore - Possible Triggers I do NOT own the characters or drawings on here! ~{Best Ranking}~ • 6 out of 7K in #Shoto [8/7/2020] • 666 out of unkown in #Soulmate [9/4/2020] (😈) Start Date: Jan 2021 Status: Complete End Date: Apr 2021

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.

Samuel "Sammy" Albright was your normal New York teen; his mother was a famous doctor, his sister was married to a famous socialite, and his brother had married a Broadway actress. He was the youngest, and he was ready to begin his carefree life. In any other world, Sammy would have been set for life; he would have been provided for and been free to choose his life path; but in this world, there is a catch. Werewolves and other supernatural creatures are known, they are revered, and they are often to not, the law. There is a rule in North America (Canada, The US, and Mexico) that everyone must take a test at age 18 to see if they have been paired or mated with a supernatural being. Sammy was not worried, he believed, that like his siblings, he would not be paired with a supernatural being, but unfortunately for Sammy, Fate had other plans. *Warning- this is an lgbtq book and there is a significant age difference. Some scenes are forced or non-con. Beware and read at your own risk.*
