AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.

i’d never die

but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day

imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together

imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal

holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever

What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.

This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate

I’d read the hell out of that :O

Personally, my first assumption was that killing one’s soulmate would start the post-18 ageing process, and I was more focused on people who lived for centuries as a matter of course because there was no reincarnation and their soulmate was just not around yet.  Like, centuries of life experience, but still a “kid” in some important ways, according to society.  Plus, loneliness angst.

I would read the crap out of this.

Ok realtalk: this is honestly how I read Marquise Mindfang in Homestuck canon. Maybe not so much with the other long-lived Ancestors, but Mindfang very much has a “well I know my serendipitous matesprit isn’t around yet so there’s no reason not to treat that area of my life with adolescent flippancy for centuries on end” vibe. (And then she did awful shit with that attitude, because she’s a Serket and being awful is what they do.)
