Fics like Your words on my skin

Clarke is nine when she realises she has a soulmate. She positions the marker and begins, drawing an otter swimming her forearm. She’s most of the way finished when she feels a prickling and words appear underneath her otter. The fine blue ink and messy scrawl a stark contrast to the thick marker and neat drawing above it. Go away. I don’t want a soulmate. Clarke frowns at the words on her arm. She’s heard about soulmates, but they’re kind of rare and she’s only met two people who have one. She knows some of her friends have written messages on their own skin hoping that they would get a reply, but no one has ever gotten one as far as she knows. And now the blue ink on her arm clearly states that her soulmate isn’t interested in her. She hates them, she decides. Who cares if they don’t want her? I don’t want one either. She writes in her thick marker. But this is my skin and I want to draw on it. So there. She completes her message with an entire zoo down both her arms. She’s working on her legs when her dad finally turns around. Runner up in the Bellarke Fanwork Awards for best soulmates fic and nominated for best fluff, which is incredible!
