[ 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. Yet mistake after mistake, Dylan finds himself in an awkward waltz with someone just as broken as he is.
Will Dylan push his Soulmate away, or will the New Soulmates heal their pasts?

Ink- Septiplier/Tythan AU
"Why did this feel so absolutely perfect?! And hey, how come nobody told me I was gay?!" Sean is an artistic guy. He loves to draw, more digitally than on paper, let alone his own skin. Mark was not as artistic as Sean. He focused his creativity more on comedy than art. They're both sick of waiting for their soulmates to show up. Hell, they're twenty-something, and still looking! The two boys are so busy looking for their other half, that they don't notice the little things; Mark scribbling notes on his hands for strategy games, Sean writing down dates for collab videos, and the random bored pen scribbles. But one day, their wild goose chase gets flipped on it's head. Ethan is a different story altogether. He just flat-out doesn't believe in soulmates. He pretends he does to make his friends happy, and to fit in so he feels like he belongs, but no matter how much he wishes he could, the blue boy just can't bring himself to believe in it. All those little doodles on his arms bring him are pain and emptyness. Tyler knows Ethan is his soulmate, and when he figures out what Ethan's been trying to hide, it breaks his heart. Tyler fears that if he can't make Ethan love him, it's going to be a repeat of his childhood all over again... this time, from third person. Who's that woman in the picture on Sean's dresser? Why does Mark care so much? Why doesn't Ethan believe in soulmates? Why does Tyler need him to? All of them have secrets they think no one else knows. But if they want a happily-ever-after, they can't stay secrets for long. And just... What is Kat's deal?! (The AU is basically when someone writes on their skin or gets a tattoo or etc., it also appears on their soulmate's skin in the exact same place.)Complete![Turn the Lights Off [BoyxBoy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/649618-256-k22854.jpg)

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm.

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
