(so, so, so many WIPs still sitting in my files, haha) I’m going to talk about one of my most recent WIPs now, because despite it being recent, it’s also a soulmate AU, and while I love reading those, I struggle with writing them. So!
Detective Conan it is! Also, KaiShin, because that’s basically the only ship I write for DetCo…
So! This is a Soulmate AU where the greatest secret of your soulmate is written in your wrist:
- Shinichi has “Kaitou KID” written on his wrist;
- Kaito has “Edogawa Conan”;
- When Yusaku realizes what is written on Shinichi’s wrist, he takes Shinichi to meet Toichi because he knows Toichi is KID, and he could not stand for his son to be fated to a grown adult with a son of his own.
- Thankfully, he was not Shinichi’s mate. Yusaku allowed Toichi to live another day.
- After Toichi’s death and the disappearance of KID, Shinichi kind of… forgot about it. Sure, it’s his mark, but he didn’t much care for that in the first place, so whatever.
- He’s only reminded of who and what KID is when he flies by a heist. It’s a bit of a shock that his mark points him to a thief, but…
- But then Conan happens, and he just. Forgets about it. Again. Because this is more stressing and pressing and just— he has much more to think about, and no time to even consider his mark, ok?
- Of course, then he starts going to KID’s heist AS Conan, and it’s much more obvious that he is possibly his fucking soulmate. But. Well. Now he is Conan, and KID is… probably his own age. Great.
- On the other hand of the spectrum, we have Kaito that goes through his life without ever knowing what his mark was supposed to be about… until he meets Edogawa Conan himself and he. realizes that’s a fake identity. of a kid.
- He’s not a fucking pedophile!!!
- Of course, there IS such a thing as platonic soulmates, so maybe… maybe that’s it. Kaito just… always dreamt of having a romantic soulmate, but… well. There’s nothing wrong with a non-soulmate romantic relationship, and he had a bit of a crush on Aoko before everything, so it’s not like he can’t have a relationship still, just…
- Of course, at some point Kaito discovers about Shinichi’s true identity and things are. still complicated, but at least he doesn’t have to feel guilty for being fated to a child, so. there’s that, at least! :D
I… don’t have more than that, honestly. but I thought it was fun, this idea, so I also wanted to share it?
