One cannot choose their soulmate; the lack of a choice should be something that’s talked about. It should be something that is explored in depth, and not shoved under the rug. The name inked to Harry's skin didn’t define his future. The curve of the letters didn’t control his life. No one was going to be the deciding factor but him. The right to choose should be widespread, and Harry was going to fight for that, he was going to scream until the world started listening.I have never really figured out what I think about soulmate fics. Like.. Bear with me. Like, on one hand, there is this perfect person for you. This one person who will compliment you, help you, be there for you and they are just the perfect for you. And the same goes the other way around. You are perfect for someone in every possible way and you will be super happy together.
But the thing that actually makes it weird is that there are seven fucking billion of us on this planet alone. Then there are aliens and other whatever in another galaxy. So the chances of finding that perfect one (or two or three or trillion) for yourself is pretty much impossible. Someone did the math for this once and it was pretty depressing math (also, it didn't include other planets and lifeforms).
So on this side, there is pretty much zero chance on finding the perfect person (lifeform, whatever) for you. But then there is the downside. Like there is the trauma that any person can come against in their life. They could get abused, end up in war and so on and so on. If this person was perfect for you and he becomes insane or violent after the trauma that they have come, what happens then? Are they still perfect for each other or does that change the board and the people get new soulmates?
Also the whole thing with just one soulmate. Is it just the one and if that doesn't really work out, that's it? That's all your happiness in life and everything went shit. Yea I know, shit happens. But soulmates are fairytales that don't actually make any fucking sense in the long run.
So basically. Fate should know what happens with your life, all the tragedies, all the happiness, all the places you will be and still be able to find that one? Yea. Maybe fairytales. But still doesn't really make that much sense just say that yea fate says this so this makes me happy. No free will, no takebacks. No nothing. Everything in your life has been decided even before you were born or even before anyone was born. Because that is the only way soulmates could even work.
That is why I have not made up my mind about soulmates. In a nutshell.
This fic is pretty much a huge fuck you to the whole soulmate idea. In a way. They still value the whole soulmate idea and how they could be perfect for each other because of fate. And they are trying to show that they still had a say in this whole business and how they want it to work, but only because they have the power to make it or not. And I liked that.
Maybe the whole concept has more flaws and way too many holes, but it sounds pretty. And maybe that's why I want to promote the one fic where everything is under a question but still making some sense. So this is my kind of soulmate fic. Yup.
And thank you for having the patience to read this far. So please. Go and read the fic. You will love it.
