[Trope of the Week] Soulmates - Question #3
What tropes do you like to see combined with this one? What about tropes you haven't seen combined with it but think would be a good fit?



I'm a big fan of soulmates/soulbonds combined with "marriage of inconvenience" - where the soulbond is accidentally created or otherwise suddenly sprung on the pairing or deliberately created by one half without the knowledge of the other (ex: "Bonding our souls together was the only way to save you from certain death! But, uh, now we share an eternal mating bond and can never have sex with anyone else and will feel one another's emotions? Hope you can forgive me, it was this or watching you die.") .
id love to see a werewolf soulmate AU. I love werewolves!
Oooh. That would be fun. I also love werewolves.
It would be lots of fun
Soulmates and ghostfic, wherein one always gets haunted by the other in every reincarnation. It starts off kind of sweet and benign but ends up creepy and unnerving. Eventually the ghost becomes corporeal. Idk but horror/soulmates should be a thing.

Yeah. It reminds me of the lyrics for 'A Thousand Years' by Christina Perri, which I always maintain that it's the confession of a creepy undead stalker for thousand years.
Enemies to Friends :)
Enemy mine! Where two people really hate each other... But oh no, they're actually soulmates!
Ditto. Now they have no choice but to work things out between them
It just works really well! And neatly solves the "how to bring them into proximity" question ;)
