Your soulmate couldn’t lie to you, but they could lie to everyone else and those lies would show up on your skin.
[Loki/Darcy] [Soulmate AU]
Darcy learned to lie from a very young age.
When she was younger, she didn’t understand the strange stories that were scrawled along her skin. She didn’t understand her mother’s insistence on covering her skin or why she told so many tales about it.
“My Darcy, she just gets so cold.”
“She has a little rash, I want to keep it covered.”
“She’s sick. I want her to sweat out her fever.”
She didn’t understand why her mother would say such things. Not until she learned about soulmates. Not until she learned the stories on her skin were lies from her soulmate. Not until she learned that most people didn’t have paragraphs of lies on their skin. Not until she learned that her mother was embarrassed for her.
