just human things
Description
Overseeing the love lives of mortals has a bit of a catch: sometimes, you gotta break couples up to make soulmates happen.
After doing this for literal eons, Gowon thought she was desensitized to wrecking relationships for the sake of making perfect ones. But on the verge of being fired (a.k.a. cast off to eternal damnation), she faces her toughest assignment yet in the very stubborn Jung Jinsoul.
Or: a nonhuman (a divine, all-knowing being!?) claiming to be 'Cupid' gets schooled on what it means to be human. And on love, ironically.
Foreword
i wrote this for the mobius collection's november prompt about twisting classic fic tropes, so i tackled soulmatessssss, which i've done before...here i am again
basically gowon's job is to be a deific matchmaker and jinsoul is the very stubborn human being she's responsible for. i office-fy the concept of soulmates (or the functioning of the universe in general), very much like how The Good Place office-fies the afterlife. but if you've never watched the good place u need to hop on that!
