Prompt: In a world where true mates have matching soulmarks, James has always felt defective. An accident as a child led to scarring over his heart where the soulmark would form, making it impossible to discern the image. He's spent half a lifetime keeping lovers at arms length, certain that he's meant to be alone. Teddy let James push him away once before, but he's older and wiser now, and this time he's not going anywhere.
