Soulmates

by ughdotcom

Everyone was born with a red string tied to their left ring finger. The string led to your soulmate, and only you, and the people you loved the most, could see the string.

Rose wasn’t born with a red string. Hers was black.

Black strings weren’t uncommon, but they were uncommon on alloromantics, which Rose undeniably was. She had been having crushes for as long as she could remember, on boys and girls and anything in between, from real people to fictional characters to celebrities. So there was no reason that she shouldn’t have a red string.

And then she met The Doctor. She could see it, the string stretching from her finger tied to his. He apparently couldn’t. Or something like that. Because he never acknowledged it. Normally people with attaching strings mentioned it within seconds of meeting, even people with black strings. But he didn’t.
