Summary
[DISCONTINUED AND BEING REWRITTEN AS 'THE THREADS THAT BINDS US' (2025)]
" I am someone who wants you to have a happy ending."
Jin Ae didn't believe in second chances, the word is nothing but a fragmented blur from the memories of her childhood, remnants of the bedtime stories her father would tell her about star crossed lovers stranded at sea.
Until she had to attend the funeral of the man she loves and Jin Ae wanted nothing more than just that.By some miracle, a soft hearted deity must've heard her prayer because the woman finds herself trapped in a world of dwarves, swords and gold.
There she meets a familiar pair of electric blue eyes, and she finds herself unable to leave him, specially if she knows how his story would end. Jin Ae couldn't save him in her world, but maybe in this one she can, even if he was far more stubborn in the world where vile dragons and crownless kings exist.They were two lost boats tied by a red string, destined to meet again.

Summary
I don't know you are so familiar to me- or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remember who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before- in another time, a different place- some other existence.

nothing you confess
by PorcupineGirl
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived.)Ha, these idiot boys. They both get their soulmate red string on the same day, but don't figure out it's each other until much later. (Well, to be fair, wwx isn't given many clues, as lwj hides his immediately - because he knows he's gay but figures he'll have to marry a woman and get an heir and then get widowed or something before he gets to bond with his soulmate, foolish child. Regardless, wwx is still thick as a brick, bless him.) So canon happens, and while lwj eventually buys a clue by the xuanwu cave, wwx still doesn't know.
*** I might have gotten a little excited and revealed more than you want to read about, so this is your SPOILER WARNING, just in case. ***
But then. Then wwx's golden core is removed, and lwj FEELS IT. And he knows. He knows, and when he tracks down jc, he can tell wwx's core is IN JC'S BODY. So now we have a major trajectory change in canon, and the boys all communicate, and it's beautiful. (Well, wwx is utterly traumatized and kind of dissociated by his stay in the Burial Mounds, but he has a lot more support now that he knows lwj is his soulmate and jc knows all about the Core debacle.)
It's wonderful to see our wangxian feeling their way into intimacy, with wwx learning to accept the help that lwj is so desperate to offer.
I'm calling this one a fix-it fic, although it ends before the Sunshot Campaign gets resolved, because obviously wwx won't be abandoned to go off the deep end in this divergence.
I'm so happy.

“I have a confession."
Humoring Stiles, Peter lowers his voice in a whisper of mock-seriousness. “Care to share?”
“My red string stopped knitting healing triskelions three weeks ago. I’ve been lying.”
Peter laughs. “Sweet one, I know. I can hear your heartbeat stutter and your guilt is heavy in the bond.”
“You don’t mind?”
“I’m far more selfish than you think, dear heart. I need you to want me,” Peter says, “with or without your strings.”

This is a story about a half-feral magic boy healing a half-feral comatose werewolf. This is a story about magic and revenge and learning how to be taken care of. This is a love story.

Summary
Summary: We’ve all read of how soulmates can find each other; the red string of fate, the wrist timer, finally seeing colour, the shared song…but what about the first person to find their soulmate? The creator of that original soulmate spell?
Simon Snow is having zero luck developing an 8th year spell. So he’s elated when he casts “Threads of Fate,” and something actually happens. But when the spell creates a thread that leads him right to his nemesis, he’s not so sure what he’s created is actually a good thing.
When trying again results in everyone in the World of Mage having a string that ties them to someone else, he wonders: did his spell tie him and Baz together because they are fated to fight to the death? Or could there be another reason?
