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.
