Soulmate AU Idea - Coins

Soulmate AU Idea - Coins

Everyone is born with a magic coin on their forehead. When they come of age, the coin pops off. Whenever they meet someone they'll flip the coin. Tails, they're not your soulmate. Heads, they are your soulmate.

When both people flip theirs at the same time, which is the more traditional way, occasionally one coin will land on heads while the other on tails. This would mean that they are one-sided soulmates.

You can also choose to flip your coin while thinking of someone, and it will bare the same results. This would allow you to find out ahead of time, before you even properly introduce yourself to the new person.

Some people constantly do coin tricks because touching the coin brings them solace. 

Others will shove theirs down into the bottom of their bags or their pockets and try to forget about them.

But if they try to misplace the coin entirely, it will always end up back somewhere on their person. As if drawn to them by an outside force than is stronger than they could ever imagine.

Okay but about that gem Peridot bubbled but was never brought up again...

I just came up with a new headcanon/au for it so here we go!

I propose: 

After leaving Earth with the barn, Lapis bubbled some of their more valuable stuff while she was heading into space. Including the gem Peridot had bubbled, which she stared at longingly/apologetically at before putting a bubble around the one Peridot had already made. Double bubble means double protection! Which means it was hopefully not shattered to bits when Lapis threw the barn at Blue Diamond.

Or, if you want to ensure the little gem’s safety. When Lapis bubbled most of the stuff, it stayed where she was at because she considered the barn home at the time. Except for the gem, which was sent back to Earth were Peridot (and her actual home) was, because she was actually thinking of her when she bubbled it. 

If it was sent back to Peridot, then maybe she showed it to the others, wondering if she could put it somewhere a bit safer than the bathroom she was staying in at the time. (Plus she didn’t want the color of the second layer bubble to be yet another reminder of Lapis and the fact that she left, but she didn’t want to tell the crystal gems that just yet. It’s probably one of the things she opened up to them about while they started training her.) And thus they put it in the burning room with the other bubbled corrupted gems!

Oh, of course! I’m sorry about that, I didn’t know. I’ll change it right away.

I’ve had a few intrusive thoughts but not that many. Normally mine tend to go hand in hand with or trigger anxiety so Virgil’s reaction to Remus was pretty relatable to me. But yeah they normally stem from something that I saw or heard earlier that repop-up in the worst of ways. But most of the time Remus seemed to be going fully unhinged chaotic lol. So yeah it would make sense that the guy who doesn’t make sense is a few fractions shorts of an asset. (Headcanon accepted! ; 3)

* dramatic gasp * Wahhh! Awesome. If you do I totally want to see it. I bet it’d be amazing.

Okay but Roman and Remus both being Creativity and how they used to be one being until they were split in half is so interesting and breathtaking but also raises so many questions like:

When did the initial split occur? Did it happen during Thomas’ preteens or teens, when hormones and rapid growth managed to tear aspects of his personality further apart? Or how about when he first became a young adult, around nineteen or twenty or so, when the sudden responsibility of adulthood caused him to subconsciously reject certain aspects of himself in order to become a “better adult”? 

How did the split happen/feel? Did it occur gradually over time where Creativity had flashes of the different personalities until they slowly and painstakingly split in half? Or did it all accumulate into one big shebang where they were ripped apart in a single instant and were left staring at each other in the aftermath of the explosion in utter confusion and revulsion?

Did Roman really not know about Remus before this? Or has he suppressed any and all memory concerning his twin? Or perhaps a mixture of both, where he’s had vague memories of being apart of something bigger than he is but whenever he tries to reach out to it something seems to always mysteriously deter him?

What was the original Creativity like? Were they just a straight up fusion of Roman and Remus and a perfect combination of their personalities? Or were they their own character entirely, so much so if you had met them before the split that you wouldn’t be able to tell that Roman and Remus originated from them? {Also if Roman is the Prince, and Remus is the Duke, then was the original Creativity the King???}
