The clocks are everything. 

The clocks are life itself. 

Embedded in your left arm they tick and tick and tick. 

Ceaselessly. 

Endlessly. 

Without stop. 

And most of us are happy for it, happy for the countdown that will make our lives meaningful. Because in Cyndra everyone has a clock. A clock that starts counting down the moment you are born and doesn't hit zero until you meet your soulmate for the very first time. Because in Cyndra, everyone has a preordained soulmate. In Cyndra everyone has a happy ending. 

Except me. 

I was born with a clock that had already run out.

The Inadequate Experiments: 1. White Noise [Rough Draft] by sianywu22

It started with a War. It ended with a Watch. But the Watch was only the beginning. The Watch counts down the days until you meet your Soul Mate. Five-hundred years into the future, in a world ruled by science, Sera Grey is a mystery, starting with the strange circumstance of her birth. Her whole life she has been told the same story; her mother contracted a disease that resulted in immaculate conception. Sera was the result. But what if this story was a lie? When Sera's Watch ticks down to zero as she meets Oliver Jackson, her life gets turned upside-down. As she tries to unravel the mystery of her Watch, and the mystery of the Scientists, she may just unravel the mystery of her birth at the same time. NOTE: This story is currently being rewritten on my profile!!!

Touch: Awakening by AmandaKByrne

The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)

Soulmate by KathrynCunningham96

Life was a confusing, stupid concept. We live to meet our soulmates; our timers tick tick tick, we meet our soulmates, we entertain ourselves, and then we die. That's all there is to it. Was I here for something bigger? Well, I sure hoped so, but I didn't know what that would be, and I doubted my soulmate would show me. He would be there to entertain me, but he couldn't be my whole life.

My Soulmate (HoO/PJO AU) by Zebra2606

When you turn 14, you get a tattoo that describes your soulmate. As you spend more time with them, it gets more detailed. But when you kiss your soulmate for the first time, you tattoo glows and shows their name. But this only happens when it is love and love only. (So if you just kiss someone to kiss them then your tattoo won't glow) As for your soulmate dying, your tattoo turns black and shows a small picture of them with their name under. After three days it goes away and you never get another tattoo. Disclaimer: I do not own the PJO or HoO characters. I wish I did though, but sadly that title belongs to Uncle Rick. I also do not own any songs, bands, brands, etc. Also I suck at descriptions. And my writing starts off kinda bad and super short but trust me, it gets better, so yeah. Cover by @KittenDolphinLeo Their covers are absolutely amazing and so are their fan fics! Totally check them out!

Ink | Soulmate AU | ✓ by roseways

[A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY] If you touch your skin with ink, the marks you make will appear on your soulmate's skin too. Those who have this power are known as the Inked. It can be beautiful or dangerous, and for twenty-year-old Archie, it's both, in a very short space of time. As an art student at a prestigious university in London, her hobbies include procrastination, doodling and daydreaming about whoever's writing the words that appear on her skin, and what she'll say when she finally meets him. If she ever does. Now that Inking is illegal, though, it's a risk even talking to him. She's not sure if she's willing to give up everything for a boy she's never met, but she knows that if she doesn't, she'll regret it for the rest of her life - however long that may be. *** ➳ Completed ➳ Best tag rank - #1 in New Love, Future, #2 in Short Story ➳ Best genre rank - #2 in Science Fiction ➳ Featured | 18.05.18 ➳ Featured on the Wattpad Teen Fiction profile ➳ 1st Place Winner in the Stellar Awards 2018 ➳ This book has a mild content warning.
