(Soulmates!AU) Everyone is born with a tiny illegible scribble on their right wrists. Once people get older the writing becomes clearer and displays the name of their soulmate.
Yixing is wide-eyed and excited to meet his soulmate, to finally have his scribble clear. But something strange happens: his tattoo shows up too early, changes, changes, and changes some more. On the search for his soulmate, Yixing learns the truth about love and happiness and maybe, just maybe, even finds himself along the way.

notes written for justgetlayd, originally posted here.
1. 'You either have the feeling or you don’t.’ is a quote from Daniel Handler’s Why We Broke Up.
2.'We accept the love we think we deserve.’ is from Stephen Chbosky’s Perks of Being a Wallflower and was not said at any point by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
3. Title is taken from Boston's More Than A Feeling, which I love the *NSYNC A Capella version of.

Love to Ella, my number 1 enabler, this wouldn't have gotten to the third/fourth rewrite and I couldn’t have decided on an ending without you; thanks to G & neoragodestiny for being cheerleaders; much love and thanks to my babe of a beta mapofwords, who tightened the stitches of this patchwork quilt and pulled me out of the mud I’d trapped myself in.
This is for perfectiontales. because I like to believe that I’d have finished this 7,000 words less if you didn’t influence me to ship the ship. this is on you.
