It isn’t until Daphne’s getting ready for bed that evening that she realizes she lied to Niles. She didn’t mean to. When she said every person she knew with a soulmark had met their soulmate within a year, she was absolutely certain she was telling the truth. But it turns out, she forgot to include herself on that list of people. Daphne can’t say the exact day she got her mark, but it must be coming up on two years ago, now. Double the length of time anyone else she knows has had to wait. She’d be rather depressed about that if she dwelt on it at all, but most of the time she forgets she even has a soulmark. Perhaps that’s why it’s on her back. The universe knows she’ll have to wait awhile to meet her soulmate, and it put the mark somewhere that she can’t see everyday so as not to have the reminder constantly hanging over her head. Unlike poor Dr. Crane. His mark is right there on his forearm. He must be about to meet his soulmate soon — any day now, in fact. The universe won’t be so cruel as to make him wait for ages. Daphne misinterprets her soulmark's shape, leading to a delayed realization for her and Niles. A Soulmate AU written for the 25th anniversary of ep 7x24
