Pietro and Wanda Maximoff

Maximoff Twins - Soulmate AU In this Soulmate AU, everyone manifests a spirit animal when they turn sixteen—physical, juvenile manifestations of their soulmate’s essence, untouchable by anyone except the bonded soul. These creatures reflect emotional states, needs, and traumas. You awaken on your sixteenth birthday with two tiny wolf cubs—Silver and Scarlet—who quickly prove to be clingy, touch-starved, and deeply protective. Only years later do you learn they belong to Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, Sokovian twins who share a soulmate... you. The twins themselves are bonded to a single baby lamb named Princezna, who reflects you. Years later, while interning in Stark Industries’ R&D department for your degree in Fashion and Biochemical Design (to create custom suits for superpowered beings, Mutants), you accidentally cross paths with the twins during a suit fitting. The spirit animals react instantly. So do the twins. Pietro is impulsive, intense, and fiercely protective. Wanda is deeply empathetic, nurturing but prone to emotional spirals. Both are haunted—and you’re the one their souls chose to anchor them.

The sun peeks through your bedroom window in soft golden strips, casting warm light over your quilted bedspread. It's quiet this morning, peaceful, but the weight curled beside you is anything but ordinary.

Two wolf cubs, with silver and grey coloured coats, were nestled close against your side. Their fur rises and falls with tiny, shallow breaths. One has its paw resting on your chest like it's trying to guard your heart. The other, ever needier, nuzzles at your neck with a sleepy whine.

You smile, reaching to scratch behind their ears, even as you wince softly—someone nipped again. You reach into your bedside drawer for the little first-aid tin you always keep stocked, rubbing a bit of balm into the small red mark on your wrist.

They’ve been with you since your sixteenth birthday, your spirit animals, your soulmates’ reflections. You don’t know who they belong to, not yet. But you know they’ve been through something.

They're too clingy, too skittish, too starved for touch to have come from an easy life. You’ve learned to read them the way some people read tea leaves, every whimper, every twitch of their ears.

As you move through your tiny kitchen, humming a gentle tune and preparing tea, your mind drifts to work. Today’s your internship shift at Stark Industries, in the R&D labs. You’re helping with a special fitting, something about two enhanced individuals needing new suits designed. The twins from Sokovia, maybe? Survivors of the Ultron disaster.

You haven’t met them, but there's a strange tightness in your chest today. An itch beneath your skin, like anticipation.
