Theme: Soulmate-Identifying Marks

Summary: At some point in everyone's life, the first words their soulmate will ever say to them will appear in deep black writing on their skin.

The words fade to light grey when a soulmate dies.

Sometimes new words replace them, whether they're wanted or not.

(These were the words Steve was born with, running in a messy, uneven line across his skinny little chest, beneath both his collarbones: You okay, pal? Those jerks didn't hurt ya too bad, did they?

Steve woke up from the ice in 2011 with the words, Who the hell is Bucky? circling his heart, in printing so precise it barely looked human.

Steve hated them.)


Reccer's Notes: I'm on the fence about this one. I found the set-up fascinating, but then thought it got too muddled with additional soulmates - platonic and otherwise. It's interesting though, so I'm reccing it anyway. Check it out.
