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.)

Your other half is a person that was destined for you since birth. The missing piece to the hollowness of your own puzzle.

Grief and the art of moving on (But not forgetting.)
Soulmates are meant for people. You are not a person. Let's begin. Around seven hundred years ago you received word your sworn sister had a child, the letter came a little late, and when you finally arrived you found a family mourning instead of celebrating. Seven hundred years ago you helped her bury her sworn brother. You were only supposed to stay for a little while, to help her through the grieving process and help her husband raise their child while she was indisposed. Life had other plans. Only two hundred years after that her husband was ripped from her arms. Left with an even worse off sworn sister and a nephew that just learned to walk all ideas to pack up and go home are thrown out the window. Five hundred years later and with plans underway you might just be able to free Gongzhu's husband. But the memories of your home don't feel like home anymore. And going back to your solitary life feel's just as terrifying as staying. Your family still needs you, and you're too scared to leave. Now with dangerous looming threats on the horizon you have to learn to move on and move forward to keep your family safe. Which is becoming increasingly difficult with a certain prickly soulmate you shouldn't have poking his tail into places it doesn't belong. Remember, soulmates are meant for people. You are not a person. You are incapable of falling in love. Don't let them fool you into thinking you can. Or you may never be able to go back to the life you knew before. ---- Or in other words: Welcome to my physical manifestation of my obsession with lego characters. Please enjoy your stay :)
Groundhog Day
Newt had heard the stories, knew them like the back of his hand: everybody has a soulmate in this world, one person made just for them, blah, blah, blah. Their initials were inscribed on everybody's chest, just to the left of the sternum, directly over the heart. That he was fine with. The problem for him, personally, lay within the other condition: that if you came within close proximity of your soulmate, but failed to meet them, you would have to relive the day until you succeeded. Which, in theory, seems like a good idea, but that's because most people didn't fuck up this badly.Complete
