Welp. I wanted to see the origin of the memes, and now I am myself becoming part of the memes.

Yeah, I finally started watching Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. And let me tell you, I have a definite thing for the ensemble and part crossover fics. It’s gonna take me a bit to write proper recs for all of them, but, in the meantime, I really want to share all these stories that have made me happy, intrigued, and, in a couple of cases, deeply angry at how close we came to a happier ending but damn it everyone is just too flawed and broken to manage it.

I think I came out almost half-and-half between gen fic and ship fic, so there should be something here to please everybody.

Today’s topic is the Bat family.

No real reason, just Bat family fics I’ve enjoyed. Admittedly I have a weakness for Jason Todd fics, so he’s possibly a little over-represented. Mostly gen, ensemble fics featuring two or more Batmen, Batwomen, Robins, and the like.

Title: Heart Lines

Author: PeaceHeather

Fandom: Merlin

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Merlin/Arthur

Warnings: background character death by childbirth, attempted lynch mob, anti-magic prejudice, character injury

Other notes: au, soulmates, romantic & platonic soulmates, world-building, asexual character, fix-it fic, original characters

Length: 47k

Summary:

Everyone is born with a heart line, a pigmented mark running from the heart down the left arm to the palm, which turns color when the person comes of age, telling them when it is time to seek their soulmate. Red indicates a romantic love, while blue is for platonic "heart-friends", as the minstrels called it.

Uther had always told Arthur to ignore his heart line, that it wouldn't matter who his soulmate was; princes did not marry for love, after all. If was lucky, he'd be able to keep her as a mistress, so long as he did not get any children with her. Uther hated magic and would have urged Arthur to ignore the heart line anyway, if he could.

Arthur wasn't sure his soulmate was really a woman despite Uther's assumptions. But Arthur's heart line hadn't even come into its full color yet, which meant he hadn't come of age in the eyes of the gods, despite being named crown prince by Uther. So it really didn't matter: whoever his soulmate was, he wasn't yet ready to meet them.

Then one day his heart line comes in, and it's neither red nor blue.

Title: waterlogged (red blue, green)

Author: lein

Fandom: My Hero Academia

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: mild angst

Other notes: soul mates, au, episode-based, worldbuilding

Length: 9k

Summary: Izuku has never been one to curse but the only way to describe himself as his mother hugs him goodbye that morning, is royally fucked.

He’s really, truly glad no one in their class has a mind-reading quirk because from the minute his feet touched warm sand, his mind has been screaming in tune to the same famous classical overtures Tenya listens to when they study together. Occasionally, the music pauses just long enough for his brain to point out observations about Shouto that make Izuku want to stick his head under the waves and just breathe in.

None of them gets quite what they expect.

Title: Glitch

Author: simplestardust

Fandom: Les Misérables

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Enjolras/Grantaire + background pairings

Warnings: discussion of dubcon relating to soulmates, domestic violence, stalking, prejudiced behavior, background character death, alcoholism, child abuse/neglect, self-loathing, political suppression

Other notes: AU, modern day, world-building, soulmates, vignettes, multiple PoV, minor characters, unrequited love, friendship, politics, social change, viva la revolution

Length: 40k

Summary:

If there was one person, just one, who would be a glitch in the system, of course it would be Éponine Thénardier. Of fucking course.

Soulbonding was a fact of life. You met your soulmate, and that was it, you were soulbonded and you got your tattoo. Or that's what Éponine had always thought, until she soulbonded with Marius and he didn't soulbond with her.

Grantaire would rather just pretend he'd never soulbonded with anyone in the first place. Especially not with the idealist who was leading a campaign against soulbonding laws and refused to look at his own soulmate tattoo in protest.

So, I was writing a rec for a soulmate fic, and I wrote, “you know, I really like this fic because it messes with the whole soulmate idea. I don’t really like the soulmates trope too much, although there are a few fics I could recommend that also mess with the idea.”

About two hours later: Well, this is not a short list at all.

Also: I guess I do like soulmate fics?

Well, I guess it’s more that I like it when authors set up the world rules for a soulmate universe, then proceed to mess with it. Or they set up a world where having a soulmate is actually really super annoying in some way.

At any rate, I have a full rec list now.

Unfortunately, I can't quite figure out the best way to spoiler tag these. Most of them have a twist ending of some sort. Sorry.

Multi-fandom, subversive soulmate AU rec list:
