Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention, some of us humans are "gifted" as we like to say, in short, we have powers, well most of us do, anyway, powers that only show themselves when we turn 18.
That's why an eighteenth birthday is such a big deal.
Please note, that our powers come in all shapes and sizes. From elemental magic, to mind control, mind reading, time traveling, and even shapeshifting, and many, many, more. Even though some humans don't get powers, it's still better than getting what is known as The Soulmate Gift. What is it? You may be asking yourself. Well...
It's when you can see what your soulmate sees and when you can talk to them mind to mind.
Why is this such a bad thing?
It only appears when one of the pair is in danger or is about to marry or spend their lives with someone other than their soulmate.
So yeah, heartbreak is definitely present in the equation.
And yes, you've guessed it, I, Amelie Diamandis, have the Soulmate Gift. And the fire gift. Which should be impossible.
Isn't that just great?
Oh, and my soulmate wants nothing to do with me....I think?
•••
For as long as humans could remember you either got one gift or nothing, it's impossible to have two or more.
A human with more than one power has been unheard of.
Until today.
When two people, destined since birth, break history with powers destined for destruction and a destiny that none can fathom.

Nico had been mistreated all their life, by their father, stepmother, siblings, and even their friends. When an invitation arrives from the royal family, inviting them all to a ball, will the fates finally give them a break?
Will has always wanted to fall in love. To find his soulmate and be whisked away from his life. He was a prince, yes, but he didn't like his life. Being controlled all the time, having his life already picked out for him, none of it. He would rather be poor than have servants constantly waiting at his beck and call. When a mysterious stranger arrives at his ball, will his dream come true?
Soulmates are decided before you're born. Everyone's traits are carefully picked to match the other so they are perfect for each other. Tattoos appear on your body to match your soulmate's personality, favorite things, and important events every birthday you have. Will has 19, Nico has 18. When you meet the other, you get one final tattoo that represents the two of you together and when you learn their name, it appears under it.
This is a soulmate Cinderella au. Only first few chapters will be the Cinderella part and then I'm going to write what happened after for the rest. By the way, I'm not nonbinary and am used to writing Nico as a boy so please correct me if I make a mistake with the pronouns or something isn't accurate.
