you know what would be funny? if i wrote another soulmate au, except i put as many soulmate tropes in it as possible. red string, first thing your soulmate says on your wrist, timer counting down, shared feelings, world is black and white until you see them, e v e r y possible thing i can think of.
and then what i'd do is make George and Dream huge skeptics of soulmates, and have the two keep trying to get over each trope (cutting the red string of fate, trying to avoid each other as much as possible, etc etc). but because fate is such a shipper, they keep meeting despite their efforts.
but idk, just an idea lmfao.
