    Summary

    The soul link is inexplicable and unquantifiable. When someone writes on themselves, it is sent through the ether and appears on the skin of their soulmate.

    Children are able to grow up connecting with their soulmates and growing to love them even before they get a chance to meet in person. It is a sacred right granted by the universe for everyone to be matched with their perfect person.

    Unfortunately for Wylan Van Eck, although the universe did put someone on the other end of his link to write him beautiful messages every day, it forgot to teach him how to read them.

    Summary

    Julie Molina is turning sixteen. She knows that means that she will most likely wake up with her soulmate in her bed, and the first skin-to-skin contact will solidify the red string of Fate and an emotional connection. And she used to want that more than anything. But after losing her mom, Julie isn't so sure she wants a soulmate anymore.

    Luke Patterson is seventeen, six months away from his eighteenth birthday. He never got a soulmate. All he wants is someone to love and accept him for who he is, to feel that same connection with someone that he feels when he plays music. He's starting to think maybe he just doesn't have a soulmate, that he'll never get that connection that he so craves.

    Then Luke wakes up in Julie's bed on her sixteenth birthday, and they're thrown into a relationship that they don't understand and is completely different from what they already know. But maybe Fate didn't get it so wrong after all.

    Summary

    Instead of going to music school in Belendt, Wylan is sent to Novyi Zem. There’s fluff, there’s angst, there’s Jesper using humour as a coping mechanism. What else could you want in a fic?

    The ice court never happens in this AU and Jesper still lives in Novyi Zem with Colm and Ketterdam sort of happened 😘 (he’s still not having a very good time tho)

    (ngl this is kindaaaa a modern au bc i forgot certain things didn't exist in the grishaverse and im too lazy to go back into my old chapters and fix that so sorry lmao)

     

    Yes the title is a lyric from Thank You For the Music but shut up it’s Wylan’s song

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”
