I admit, I'm not a fan of Soulmate AUs that try to justify illogical ships by just using the Soulmate card, but I like Soulmate AUs that actually pair up people who have good chemistry and/or Soulmate AUs that bring up questions people like to ignore. Such as: what if you don't like your Soulmate? What if you fall in love with someone who isn't your Soulmate? What happens when your Soulmate dies? I find them very intriguing, and it's interesting to see how different people take the Soulmate aspect in different directions.
