Soulmate AU where everything is the same except that everyone can have a device installed that will tell them when they will meet their soulmate. (Concept borrowed from the movie Timer, which is great and you should see it!). Kara must deal with the fact that she may never be able to get a Timer installed due to her invulnerability, and she doesn't quite know whether that's good or bad. Things get more challenging for her when the person she's dating decides to get one installed. Meanwhile, Alex has to deal with the surprising result of her eventual soulmate and Lena Luthor wonders if she'll ever meet hers. Supercorp slowburn with a little Sanvers thrown in for good measure!

A long time ago, King Valentine, of the rich kingdom of Alicante, attacked the southerner kingdoms. He searched for triumph and annihilation, for uniting the realm under his rule and his alone. Instead of the easy victory, though, the greedy king found defeat and death, for the four kingdoms united for the first time in history, forging the Downworlder Alliance. As a result, the great families of the north were forced to deliver their firstborns to the Kings and Queens of the Downworlder Alliance, and so ensure their fielty and crush any further rebellions before they even sparkled. Only, boring history lessons had always annoyed the Prince of Darkness and heir to the Kingdom of Edom, Magnus Bane. As the anniversary of his Mark Day arrives and with it the Victory Tournament, he figures the only good thing the Mortal War really brought was his father’s hostage, the quiet Alec Lightwood, eldest son to the once great Lightwoods of Alicante. Good could become great, though. Magnus needs only figure out a way to get that boy away from the practicing arena and into his bed. After all, he couldn’t possibly celebrate his day of honor without a suitable gift, could he?
