au where you have a stripe of your soulmates haircolor on your wrist and if they dye their hair your stripe changes colors

au where your vision is shades of your soulmates eyecolor so if they have blue eyes you see shades of blue and it stays that way until you meet them

au where you have a tattoo and it tells you what theyre most passionate about like drawing or grades

au where you have a tattoo and it tells you how old your soulmate will be when you meet

i really love soulmate au’s

#imagine the eye colour one but like opposite#so if your soulmates eyes are blue you can see every colour but blue#and then you meet for the first time and look into their eyes and see this new colour that you have only ever heard about in the stories#idk man

i love this omg
