iloveyou love romance soulmate soulmates

My timer has always been at zero. I try and accept it, but my heart aches for love. I know I'll never find true love; it'll never be real, because I don't have a soulmate.

Ten Days ‒ ˢʰᵒᵗᵒ ᵗ. ✔ by crynge

▂▂▂▂▂ 『 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 』 ▂▂▂▂▂ On a person's 18th birthday, a counter reveals how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years they have until they finally meet their soulmate. The counter could change depending on the distance they have with their soulmate and only disappears once the other had introduced themselves to the significant other. For you, it was never a big deal since you thought it would take years before you even find your soulmate. But that wasn't the case. On the night of your 18th birthday, your timer said you only had 10 days before you met your soulmate--not a big deal and it was even surreal. But with chance encounters and fateful meetings with a certain white and red-haired male, your timer starts going haywire; going from seconds to minutes and then back to 10 days. And it seems like you don't even realize that both of you are soulmates at all. And you just happened to introduce himself to him earlier than he expected. What the fuck was he going to do now? ▂▂▂▂▂ Date Started: April 17, 2020 Date Ended: April 29, 2020 ▂▂▂▂▂ All Rights Reserved 2020 𝙋𝙇𝙊𝙏 © crynge

The Final Countdown by cfoley2001

Everyone is born with a countdown on their wrist. It counts down to the time you meet your soulmate. This is how I met my soulmate. ------------------------------------------------------------ "I wanna look at my countdown," I look up in shock. He has never cared about his soul mate. "You do?" I ask. "Yep." He answers. "Me too..." "I think we should." "Wanna do it together?" I ask. "1..." "2..." "3..." We rip off our covers at the same time. They were at 1... now 0. -�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�-�- I know my story is crap, don't need to tell me.

Dreamwalking in Lavender Fields by saccharine_zucchini

It's funny... soulmates are supposed to be your one true love. Maybe it's not his fault. He did not know then. A joke taken to far, a troll that should have been done in the first place... it's all enough to lead to a broken heart. But is it fixable?

The Sign Of The Sun by yeahthisgirl

In this world there are two names on everyone's wrist; the person's enemy and their soulmate. Each person has no distinction between the two of the names, for that is something they must find out for themselves. But once they find their soulmate, the names disappear, so they will no longer have the name of their enemies marked upon them and they can live in eternal happiness. But sometimes, the names can get confused. After all, who says you can't meet your enemy first? [NOTE: We wrote this like two years ago I promise we've improved don't judge] (This was written with @im-gay-so-yay).

The Timekeeper by soulessly

As soon as you turn sixteen, the Timekeeper is inserted on the inside of your wrist. It's a countdown, showing days, hours, minutes, seconds. Until what, you might ask? Until you meet your soul mate. Candice Smith has only just turned sixteen, and is looking forward to finding her soul mate. But things don't turn out exactly how she thought they would. Find your soul mate, and you should fall in love at first sight right? Wrong. Jase Williams isn't who she pictured as her soul mate, not even close. They are complete opposites, surely there has been a mistake? Between lies, betrayal, and tears, will Candice and Jase end up falling for each other? Or will Candice fall for someone else?

Countdown ~TsukiHina~ by TheRaspberryPancake

Legend has it that when you meet your soulmate, you and only you can see a countdown on their wrist. The countdown indicates how many days your soulmate has left to live. Your soulmate can't see their own countdown, only you can. So, what will you do with this information? Will you tell them their lifespan or keep it a secret? What if it says they'll die in a year? Do you lie to them? Ok, different scenario. What if you were at volleyball practice, just a random example, and you happened to notice some writing on one of your teammates wrists? So, naturally, you move a little closer to see what the writing is and realise that it's a number. Anyway, you ask your best friend about it and they say they can't see anything. Congratulations, you found your soulmate. Only problem is, you're both highly convinced that you hate each other. Life really be like that sometimes. How would you deal with it? Wait, better question. How will Kei and Shoyo deal with it?

As the Clock Counts Down (Septiplier Soulmate AU)- completed by PeijiChan

-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.
