The Nemesis Syndrome

It was an unspoken law since as long as anyone could remember- never show the names to a soul. Because they were your greatest hope and your deepest weakness. The one who would steal your heart, and the one that would stop it. Only problem is, there was no way of knowing which one was which.
The Nemesis Syndrome and the Soulmate Syndrome turned from something pure, something to find the love of your life into something darker, something the government could bring money from and keep the population from booming.
It seems that the world never prepared Eliza or Leo for the possibility of the same name being on both wrists.
(Trigger warnings: mental illnesses are mentioned and there is a scene where a panic attack is described, said panic attack is in chapter 41, but any mention of mental illness is mostly fleeting and not in any great detail.)

Which, in theory, seems like a good idea, but that's because most people didn't fuck up this badly.Complete
