Summary
Jean does not know when the mark shows up for certain. What he knows is that during his freshman year in between the first horrible night and the next, the words JEAN MOREAU? JEREMY KNOX. show up on the back of his neck where only the others could see. Thirty minutes later, everyone knew.
“Yes?” Jean Moreau’s voice is hoarse, tinny through the phone, and his accent shortens the reply by a half-syllable, but it doesn’t matter. Because he is an idiot, Jeremy’s heart swoops into his stomach. Again. Like every other time he hears the word. He takes an embarrassingly long moment to collect himself, breathing out through his nose and ignoring the phantom tingling on the inside of his left thigh. It’s not happening.
__Or: the first words your soulmate ever says to you are inked somewhere on your body, if you're lucky. Against sense, this does not make things easier for Jean Moreau and Jeremy Knox.

Summary
Neil Josten is covered in marks. The soulmate one isn't any different. Soulmates are a weakness, his mum tells him, and his is the kind of shit people say when they catch you. You get caught, you die. But privately, deep down, he thinks it makes him stronger. Not the person on the other side, he has no time for that or them. But the words. For a very unlucky runaway who has to constantly reinvent himself to live, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME running down his achilles is almost encouraging.
Andrew Doe tells the coach in juvie that he doesn't give a fuck about exy, it's just a way to pass the time. He wakes up the next morning with a fuck-off huge soulmark on his clavicle, stretching from shoulder-to-shoulder: FUCK YOU! WHOSE RACQUET DID YOU STEAL? It’s the dumbest fucking thing he’s ever seen in his life. He understands physics intimately, the arcs, circles, trajectories, external forces. This is one of many that's acting on him, but it's a shot he intends on blocking.
Or: If you're lucky, the first words your soulmate says to you end up somewhere on your body. Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten must be the unluckiest people on the planet, to get stuck in each other's gravity.

Summary
The blood in the mortars of Harrenhal was burned out by dragonfire brighter than a dying star. But the stone remembered what it once had. What it wants still. Harrenhal is a god; its own dripping altar. Danelle Lothston is the only person who has ever seen it for what it was, terrible and red and hungry. It shares her soul, and she paints her teeth crimson.
Or: once, there was a castle made from our blood, and it ate us whole, for that is the way of the world.
Written for Maju for IATC Harlaween :)

Summary
The rumors started long before Jean agreed to join the Trojans. It was idle chatter around the Edgar Allan campus. A few online forum discussions. The odd remark from a reporter. Conspiracy theories thrown around the locker room before a team was set to face off against the Ravens and the object of their curiosity.
Every single Raven daemon had been spotted at some point or another. All except one.
The rumors became a living thing when Riko died.
Reports came from the other athletes in Fox Tower, unanimous and clear: an unconscious Jean Moreau was seen carried out by security, bloody, with lacerations covering his arms and torso. Behind him medics rolled a covered cart large enough for a couch or fridge. Presumably carrying his daemon.
The real leak came two days after. A security guard told someone who told someone who told the media that allegedly, Jean was found in the wrecked dorm of Kevin Day. Specifically found locked in the bathroom. One quote circulated like fire across news cites and gossip columns: “We had to tranquilize his daemon. She was trying to kill him.”
Or, the daemon AU no one asked for except for me.Bookmarked by toastedbagel
