A hundred years after the revolution, the world prospers in large part due to the growing leader in technology: SoulTech. Along with their breakthroughs in science, they spread their vision of comfort and bliss across the globe, affecting human culture in the process. In short, mankind took on the motto: do what makes you happy. 

But the things that make us feel good in the moment aren't always what make us happy. In the pursuit of cheap thrills, we often lose ourselves. Because when the good things don't last, you have to ask yourself: was the chase worth it?

For Zane Harrison, the answer is no.
After living a life surrounded by everything he could have ever wanted, Zane no longer has any interest in the things he's indulged himself in day by day. Whether it was drugs, sex, or even simple conversation, it was hard for him to find any lasting sense of joy in any of it. With such an overwhelming sense of apathy, he can't help but feel that there may be an external force to blame. Perhaps it was something to do with the people who robbed him of everything, yet gave him back everything at the same time.
He feels helpless, until one day, he runs into someone like him. Not only do they share the same dullness in their eyes, but their lives were forever changed by the same company: SoulTech. Even though she's their property, he can't just ignore her.

The Foreigner & The Pessimist (malexmale) by OliveWalden

***Book 1 of the Soulmates Series*** In the middle of an intergalactic war for freedom and rights, there exists a distant technologically militant planet called Gav'yx, where next to becoming a soldier, finding your soulmate is everything. So much, that the first thing all Gav'yxians see upon their birth, is the image of their future soulmate on the exact day and in the exact place they're destined to meet them. However, on a futuristic earth - now called Uniterra - the idea of finding one's soulmate is a belief held by very few. Especially when it comes to seventeen-year-old Lane Nishimura, a pessimistic student in the extremely competitive space training program at Unity High, struggling with keeping the secrets of his very mysterious and dark past, his mental health, self-esteem, and slew of trust issues caused by years of failed friendships, bullying, and sub-par romances that's left him all but giving up on the idea of there ever being someone out there destined for him. And then along comes Zuuro; a lovestruck alien from the planet Gav'yx, who's long dreamed of the day he'd finally meet Lane, and of getting what would surely be his happily ever after. However, as he soon discovers, finding romance with Lane is not as easy as he assumed. Because not only does Lane not know he and Zuuro are destined to be together, but due to almost losing everything in his last breakup, and to what he's sure is just another trick being played on him by his half-brother, Darin, he's extremely reluctant to open himself up and risk getting close to anyone again. Will Lane allow love to prevail, or will his mistrust and the secrets of his past doom them before it's even had a chance? Find out, in The Foreigner & The Pessimist, the first installment in the all new Soulmates series.

Now: here's real description: Zane was the outcast of his freshman class, always scowling at his peers and keeping in the shadows.

So, when the markings finally came, he kept them covered, not wanting to look like a fool. Kawaii~Chan was the new girl at Phoenix Drop High. She looked to have a lot of soulmates, many drawings across her body. However, it was all fake. They were all made by her. Ever since she was little, she had begun drawing on herself late, her soulmate had never responded. She tried so many things, even drawing on her face to get their attention, but they never responded, so she just drew on herself in the morning, to give up the act that she had one. What will happen when the two meet and can't stay away from each other, no matter how much Zane wants them to be apart? Read more to find out. WARNING: This story contains abuse and talk about self esteem issues. If you are sensitive to this type of thing, please do not read, as it goes into some heavy stuff after a few chapters. Also, none of the characters are mine, they all belong to Aphmau and her amazing team. The art for the cover isn't mine either, all rights go to the artist.

Flowers - Sugarwara Koushi x Reader - (Soulmate AU) by livehappy1346

Anything you wrote or drew on your skin appeared on the skin of your soulmate. That was something everyone was told as a kid. So what did Sugawara decide to do with this knowledge? Well... he decided to leave his soulmate flowers everyday. This is my first Soulmate AU book so I hope you enjoy it! It's kind of just a ton of fluff, but I think it's cute ;) My writing style changed a lot while making this so if anything feels weird/choppy/rushed then that's probably why. I also started this book during the summer and finished it during the school year so I took huge breaks from writing. I don't own any of the characters.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series

Blue? I never see blue... (A Bakushima/Kiribaku Soulmate AU) by xEuphxriax

Soulmates. The most talked about topic in the world. You can use a special pen to write on your arm. Whatever you write will appear on them. The ink is invisible to everyone, which makes it even harder to find your soulmate. The pen can change colours when the person writing is feeling a different emotion. Most colours have multiple meanings. The shade of the colour depends on how strong or light the emotion is, for example, if your soulmate is extremely angry, the writing will be dark red, when their slightly irritated, the writing would be a light/pastel red. You cannot write certain details to your soulmate, like your name, country, address, school, on your body. You CAN however, give them a nickname that only they can use. You may be wondering, how do you find your soulmate? Well, it's very luck based. You'll feel unnaturally drawn to the person. To finally find out if you're soulmates or not, you'll have to kiss. Once you kiss them, a beautiful bright light surrounds the both of you, binding your souls together for eternity. Kirishima is a bright and bubbly person who is rarely upset. When he IS upset, he doesn't write to his soulmate. Due to his... rough childhood, he never really wrote to his soulmate until the end of middle school. He constantly doodles on his skin but quickly wipes it away even though the ink is invisible and only he can see it. His soulmate, on the other hand, is a handful. Bakugou constantly writes to his soulmate about his problems. When he was a kid, he thought he didn't have a soulmate due to everyone else in his class talking to them as soon as they could write but his would never answer. Once his soulmate finally wrote to him for the first time, he was overly excited, though he wouldn't admit it out loud. He is usually angry so his writing is usually red but his soulmate doesn't mind. THIS IS A NO QUIRK AU AS WELL AS A SOULMATE AU!!! ARTWORK ISNT MINE!!!!!
