“Are they soulmate marks?” he asks, watching Seungkwan stick up the drawings. An astilbe, an iris, the sunflower, the hydrangea, the bouvardia. “These people are all your soulmates?”
“They were,” he replies, stepping back to look at the wall again. It looks nice, with a bit of colour—maybe he’ll sketch their faces next. He’s decent at art, in this life.
“You’re like, nineteen,” Jihoon says, sceptical. “I would be surprised if you had one mark, never mind five.”
“I haven’t known any of them in this life,” he says, backing up to sit on the floor beside Jihoon, who watches him closely. “I don’t think they even exist here. I’ve tried looking; there’s no record of them, anywhere.”
“Explain,” Jihoon insists. “From the beginning.”

Boo Seungkwan lives his lives trying to figure out who he is, where he's from, and why he keeps being reborn. The twelve boys he falls in love with along the way make it worth it.
reader's note: please see the original work for the complete list of tags - I had to remove 47 tags to be able to post the fic due to updated AO3 rules.
author's note: the chapers of this fic are labelled by member for the sake of convinience, but please do read them in order! there's an overarching plot running through each au, and the stories will make more sense with that context, especially the LJH, LCH and SVT chapters. if you're really only here for your one rarepair, I get it, but the whole fic is ideally meant to be read chronologically!
also, all seungkwan ships deserve love <3ages become important later on in the story; I'm going by the international system, rather than the Korean one. There's also trigger warnings in the start notes of each chapter; they'll contain plot spoilers, so skip over them if you don't need them, but there's also themes of violence and other issues in some of these chapters, so mind them if you're wary of that sort of stuff! the major character death warning mostly applies to the whole multiple lives thing, there's no explicit death scenes (again, the chapter warnings will have details of this)

Posting this first chapter today, in celebration of seeing Seventeen last night - on my birthday!! My goal is to post a chapter each week. Since this chapter is so short, I plan to post chapter 2 on Saturday, and then will stick to a weekend posting schedule.Music for Chapter 1: Boo Seungkwan's cover of Beautiful Tomorrow, by Park Hyo Shin
