#coolmes

coolmes: the soulmate au where they catch glimpses of each other's lives through the other's eyes from birth right up until a certain point (having sex for the first time? saying i love you?)

ben-squared: i couldn't decide tbh, like, with how close they were, they all just seemed too obvious for it to have taken them so long to get together? maybe the one where they get each other's scars because i don't thiiiink either had super obvious ones?

morter: name tattoos, obvs (see here)

cravy: same issue as ben-squared, tbh? but like maybe the wrist counter ones because they met so many people pretty much at the same time on the first day of hogwarts so they don't know who their soulmates are, just that they go to school with them

monteri: the soulmate au where you have a tattoo of the first words your soulmate says/said to you (pip growing up wondering wtf a "mudblood" is, like, c'mooooon)

smorelli: the one where your senses are stronger the closer you are to one another (see more clearly/more vividly, etc.)

heston: the one where you form a telepathic link after you meet (please don't read my mind during show choir rehearsals!)

olliet: the soulmate au where you don't know your soulmate until you've touched them (maybe the one where touching them leaves a mark on them where you touched them? colour splash? small tattoo? idk idk)

jakamie: the one where you don't know your soulmate until you hear them say your first name (in full, so jakoby/jamison; always calling each other jak/jamie until one of them gets hurt on the battle field and one of them calls out the other's full first name?)

wilder: soulmate name tattoos, sixteenth birthday (lloyd gets his first and doesn't know how to tell kenzi so he doesn't? and even though kenzi knows niko doesn't have his name he's still in puppy love and is really surprised when he gets lloyd's name but doesn't understand why lloyd didn't say anything and like feels everywhere until they just talk it out, man)

finchwhistle: the one where kissing your soulmate unlocks the memories of your past lives together

chiaran: the one where you can communicate with your soulmate in your dreams from infancy right up until a certain point? (meeting them? kissing them? having sex? saying i love you?) (bb!chiaran confiding in each other in their dreams, and teenaged!chiaran escaping into their dreams to be together)

dannie: the one where you see colour for the first time when you meet your soulmate (annie meets the damien and benjy the same day? benjy never actually confirms or denies that he can see colour and damien doesn't tell anyone either and everyone assumes benjy and annie are soulmates?)

niff: the one where you can feel one another's (stronger) emotions?

myce: the soulmate au where you know your soulmate once you touch them (brushing against each other or something that first time maël came over to dance with bryce?)

priddison: the one where you receive your soulmate's scars

lake: the one where you can feel if/when your soulmate is in pain

gristan: the one where you see colours after the first time you kiss

That’s just the way he loves.

You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You picking on the weaker man You can take me down with just one single blow But you don't know, what you don't know... Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? You, with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay again I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now 'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know, what you don't know... Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion But nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing But all you are is mean All you are is mean And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so?.. Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why you gotta be so?..) And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so?..) Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so?..) And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

Who’s more dominant: Usually Harris (Harris would like to think ‘always’). Ethan can give as good as he gets, but Harris has a hard time handing over that control. It does happen, though.

Who’s the cuddler: Ethan. Definitely Ethan. And Harris is sort of clueless sometimes, and it takes him a while to figure out that’s what Ethan’s trying to do.

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Harris is more inclined towards being the big spoon when he’s being an active participant in the cuddling. Otherwise, I imagine it’s a bit like what I said for Charcus: Ethan hanging on to him.

What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Fighting. Anytime they’re actually getting along. I’m not sure about their favourite, like, together, but Harris really does enjoy watching Ethan perform on stage.

A head canon: Harris gives anger management a few tries, and also goes to drug rehab once, but none of it sticks for any significant length of time until he does it after Ethan’s accident.

Their relationship summed up in a gif: 

Top 5 Coolmes Songs

1. Build Me Up, Buttercup - You, Me, and Everyone We Know

Baby, baby, try to find a little time, and I'll make you mine. I'll be home, waiting by the phone for you.Why do you build me up (build me up), buttercup, baby, just to let me down (let me down), and mess me around. And then worst of all (worst of all), you never call, baby when you say you will (say you will), but I love you still. I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darling, you know that I have from the start. So build me up (build me up), buttercup, don't break my heart.To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore if you'd just let me know. Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more; why do I need you so?

2. Figured You Out - Nickleback

I like your pants around your feet, and I like the dirt that's on your knees. And I like the way you still say please while you're looking up at me, you're like my favourite damn disease.And I hate the places that we go, and I hate the people that you know. And I hate the way you can't say no too many long lines in a row; I hate the powder on your nose.And now I know who you are, it wasn't that hard, just to figure you out.

3. It's Been Awhile - Staind

And everything I can remember, as fucked up as it all may seem, and consequences that are rendered... I stretch myself beyond my means.And it's been awhile since I can say that I wasn't addicted, and it's been awhile since I can say I love myself as well, and it's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do. And it's been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you.

4. Love The Way You Lie - Eminem/Rhianna

Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean, and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine. But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me, but when it comes to love you're just as blinded.Baby, please, come back; it wasn't you, baby, it was me. Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems. Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano? All I know is I love you too much to walk away, though.Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk; don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk? Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball; next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall.

5. Better Than I Know Myself - Adam Lambert
