Summary
Almost everyone in the world had a soulmate; it was rare for one to have none, and rare for one to have multiple. And when a soulmate dies and leaves their other half alone, their name becomes a scar on their wrist. Tony Stark did not believe in soulmates. Not because he didn't have one, but because he had two. Two dead men whose names were not scarred over on his wrist as they should be. It made him strange, made him an anomaly, and made his father despise him more than he already did. So he ignored it, ignored them, and hid the evidence from the rest of the world. What more could he do? His supposed "soulmates" were dead; he'd never know what it was like to be complete.
That is, until an incident brings him to the past and face-to-face with the dead men who've haunted him all his life, before they became famous and, well, dead. What is he supposed to do with this information? How can he let himself get close to them, knowing their fates? He knows he can't stay; he's seen enough Back to the Future to understand that any small thing could fuck up the timeline in irreversible ways, but how can he turn away from the one chance he has at getting to know the men outside of the myths?
