The Girls with the Flame Tattoos by artsykid04

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.

Hey, Stranger by zitaria

From messy crayons in kindergarten to secret jokes in elementary, they were a pair the world couldn't imagine apart. Then high school happened. One day, he stopped talking. No explanation. No goodbye. Just distance. Sharp, confusing, and painful in ways she never learned to name. She tried to understand. He never gave her a reason. And slowly, they became strangers with shared memories. Years later, college brings them back on the same campus - not quite friends, not truly strangers. Different programs, but fate keeps putting them in the same room, the same meetings, the same moments that feel a little too familiar for people who lost each other. She looks at him and remembers everything. He looks at her and pretends he doesn't. But the silence between them still asks the question she once whispered to the universe: Now, surrounded by new lives and old feelings, they must face the truth they ran from - that sometimes the people you lose aren't gone. They're just waiting for the right time to find their way back.

Ink & Ashes by JustyceReigh

"Some scars don't fade - they just learn how to breathe." Layla Thomas came to Harlem to disappear. After losing almost everything - the love she trusted, the future she planned, the self she used to recognize - all she wants now is silence. A new start. Something that feels like hers again. One night, she finds herself standing outside a hidden tattoo studio with a sign that reads Ink & Ashes. Inside is Dave, a man with inked hands, a calm voice, and eyes that seem to see straight through her defenses. He doesn't ask for details. He just asks what the mark means - and somehow, that's the first time anyone's really asked her anything that mattered. What starts as one tattoo becomes a ritual. Late nights turn into confessions between strangers, stories traded in low light and cigarette smoke. But Dave East has his own ghosts - the kind that don't stay buried for long. In a city that never stops moving, two broken souls find something dangerously still in each other. But when the past catches up, both will have to decide if love built from pain can survive the fire that made it.
