Let me tell you a story. Say we lived in a world where every person is born with a clock on their wrist. This clock, easily concealed by bracelets or the like, counts down the days you meet your soulmate. A wonderful, joyous, lucky thing it is to have!

I should also say that there are a few bugs in the system. We won't discuss them now, you'll find out soon enough. But just one tip: if you see anyone walking down the street, a cluster of bracelets or bangles or bands covering just one wrist, I would advise you not to ask about it.All Rights Reserved

Soul to Keep by ATelepathAndAPsycho

In a world where you're born with the first name of your soulmate on your wrist, some people spend their whole lives waiting, while others know too many people with the same name. Sherlock Holmes has always found the concept of soulmates frustrating and tiresome and, secretly, quite lovely. Or perhaps that's due to spending too much time in the morgue with Molly. Either way, as a boy, he found it quite frustrating that his soulmate has such a generic name. I mean, really, couldn't his parents have been a little more unique with their choice of names? John Watson has spent most of his life ignoring the name on his wrist. He wasn't even sure he was gay, and what kind of person has such an odd name, anyway? So John keeps moving through life, intent on choosing his own path in life. So what happens when these two cross paths?

Countdown ~TsukiHina~ by TheRaspberryPancake

Legend has it that when you meet your soulmate, you and only you can see a countdown on their wrist. The countdown indicates how many days your soulmate has left to live. Your soulmate can't see their own countdown, only you can. So, what will you do with this information? Will you tell them their lifespan or keep it a secret? What if it says they'll die in a year? Do you lie to them? Ok, different scenario. What if you were at volleyball practice, just a random example, and you happened to notice some writing on one of your teammates wrists? So, naturally, you move a little closer to see what the writing is and realise that it's a number. Anyway, you ask your best friend about it and they say they can't see anything. Congratulations, you found your soulmate. Only problem is, you're both highly convinced that you hate each other. Life really be like that sometimes. How would you deal with it? Wait, better question. How will Kei and Shoyo deal with it?

Disbelief by QuietlyExists

Soulmates, we're always told we have one but I haven't been so sure I do. I mean I did get my tattoo and it hasn't disappeared yet, meaning they aren't dead. I guess believing in something like that takes a lot of effort. When you first touch your soulmate (Skin to skin contact) your tattoo turns a solid color. That color is the most important color in your life at the moment you touched. In this world, there's a system to tell who your soulmate is. Nobody remembers how it happened but, one day people started getting these tattoos on their right wrist. These tattoos are a basic shape that resembles your soulmate's hair. The shape is filled in completely by the color of your soulmate's hair as well. In the center of the tattoo, there are 1-5 objects. Those objects describe what your soulmate loves to do. The shape of my tattoo always fascinated me but I've never been able to put it into words. My tattoo shape is an upside-down half-circle if instead of the bottom part being flat, it opens and curves outwards. In the center of my tattoo was a volleyball, it always was a volleyball, it's never changed once. You see naturally, people tend to change hobbies, but whoever my soulmate was, they didn't change theirs, I never changed mine either which is fascinating. The color of my tattoo is a chocolaty brown. (This story is in Y/n's POV....mainly)

As Fate Would Have It by EddieVR4ever

*COMPLETED* In this world on your 15th birthday, one fingernail gets painted a certain color. And your soulmate has the same color. You can't paint over it, but you can paint the rest of your nails the same color if you want to hide it. But after a while you can't anymore. The universe stops the nail polish from working. Because you have to find your soulmate, even if you don't want to. (Original Idea by me)

Only You (Book 2 The One series) by Dystopia03

Remember when I said that a kiss or an award had a time limit on it? Well, if you find the right person to say "I love you" to, that doesn't go away. That doesn't vanish. That lingers on forever if you're especially lucky. Feeding it with more is always helpful, of course, but if you've found the person whose "I love you" never goes away, then you're probably doing your damndest to keep them in your life. So it never really leaves you. What it does do is color every bit of your life with a magical sheen of joy where even bad luck appears to turn around and become good once more. Broke your shoelace? Well, maybe you walked by a lottery machine on the way to buy more and won a thousand bucks. Who knows? Glass is half full and all of that. I didn't have such interesting luck, but I did find a new level of contentment with my life.
