I like to think Roman just glows when he's happy. Which means glowy Roman and sparkly Virgil! :D

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.
inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.
both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.
do you call it 'soulmate' or 'I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.'
hello! do you have any good soulmate wolfstar recs? i LOOOOOOVE those, doesn’t matter what kind
Oh, the Librarian also loves these fics! Hope you enjoy the ones on this list!
The Electric Fizzing Prick Pistols, or Whatever by whitmans_kiss Everyone is born with Words on their arm that connect them to their Soulmate. James finds his, Sirius had everything figured out back in First Year, Peter doesn’t talk to girls anyway, and Remus thinks he’d very much just like to put his earmuffs back on and disappear.
Crude and Proud by @beesandjam Remus and Sirius are soulmates and whatever they write on their arms appears on the other person's.
fade to black by @elixirsoflife
a soulmate au where everyone has a tattoo of the first words their soulmate says directly to them on their left arm
Wolfy by Judeyjude There were three types of people: Kissers, Namers, and Tattooers. You either had a Tattoo that matched another's or a Name marked above your heart. If you didn't, then you were a Kisser, recognizing your soulmate at first touch or kiss, as innocent as the person wanted it to be. As soon as you were born, it was obvious which category you fell into. Sirius had a Tattoo. Remus didn't.
Moony by Judeyjude Soulmate identifying marks are like a fingerprint - every love is unique and special. Not one couple is the same as another, so there are no repeats in soulmate connections. One couple could write to each other on their arms, another could have matching tattoos that colored in when they met, and another could be deaf their whole lives until they made eye contact with their true love. The only consistency is that everyone has some kind of indication by the time they are sixteen. At 25 years old, Remus Lupin has given up the idea that he's destined for someone until James calls him one fateful night.
Check For the Shivers by @devnoel Remus never expected the first words his Soulmate would say to him to be out of a sappy romance novel. But this was just outrageous.
If you know of more soulmate fics, please share!

[ID: A full body digital drawing of Roman Sanders falling from the sky. He reaches out to the sun with one arm, his hand stretched out. Sun rays hit him from above and he looks up with a wide-eyed anguished expression. There are tears in his eyes. His wings, which are fastened to his arms, are falling apart, and loose feathers surround him. He wears his usual prince outfit. His sash is blowing with the wind, along with his hair. A golden crown has fallen from his head. On the background there are huge clouds, painted in golden, orange and brown tones. Warm yellow light comes from above. /End ID]
