( My thoughts: )
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:

Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice

( My thoughts: )
I like doing themed rec lists, so here are some fics that integrate social media / news / multimedia in fun ways. I've rambled a bit before, but the sheer amount of work authors put into replicating social media sites never fails to astound me, and that attention to detail can really make a story just pop. They make the world of the fic feel lived in.
(Though lately I'm also a little sad over how they also rather specifically date fics. Alas for all the tumblr-centric fanfic...)

Author: foxfireflamequeen
Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice
Rating: R (maybe NC-17?)
Pairing: Victor/YuuriK, Victor/YuriP
Warnings: some sex (gay), sexting, temporary breakup
Other notes: de-aging fic, friendship, social media, sports and competition, art included, melancholy, magical realism
Length: 12k
Summary:
“Hi,” says Viktor, smile bright and camera-ready. His hand, when he extends it, is small and delicate. “I think you know who I am, but we haven’t met.”
His accent is very thick, very Russian in a way Yuri has never heard before. He looks from the offered hand to Viktor’s face, barely an inch higher, and tracks his hair, long and pale and spilling over his shoulders. He can’t be older than, well, Yuri.
“No,” says Yuri. “We haven’t.”

Title: “Be My Sex Coach, Victor!”
Author: lucycamui
Fandom: Yuri!!! on Ice
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Victor/Yuuri
Warnings: explicit sex (gay), discussion of sex work
Other notes: au, romcom, dating, bad sex, miscommunciations, angst, wedding
Length: 86k + sequels
Summary: Yuuri Katsuki has always been his own worst critic, and a series of unfortunate short-lived relationships has him convinced that he flubs things more in the bedroom than out on the ice. So, of course it would turn out that the ridiculously charming Russian he's matched with online is a pornstar.
But perhaps, a 'professional opinion' is exactly what Yuuri needs...
