This fic of mine doesn’t exactly need a repost--it’s over six years old, and far and away the most popular fic I’ve ever written by almost every statistic on AO3. BUT, my lovely, dear friend capitu made me this banner and it’s SO perfect and gorgeous that I figured it deserved a post of its own!

Rorschach by gracerene

Harry never gave much thought to Malfoy's soulmark. But that was before he caught a glimpse. Now it's all he can think about.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~5,500
Content/Warnings: soulmark AU, Auror partners, brief injury/mention of blood, soulmates, dirty talk, rimming, blow jobs, implied switching
Author’s Notes: This was written for kitty_fic for hd_owlpost 2015!

This is essentially an EWE fic that follows canon EXCEPT that, in this 'verse, a soulmark appears on every person when they turn 17. Finding your perfect match isn't incredibly rare, but it's also not extremely common either. Because there is no guarantee that you will find your soulmate, people often think that waiting around forever for the perfect person is impractical, though most do hold out hope that they’ll meet their true match. :D
