The afterlife is not at all as Kit had expected.
His outspokenness had been his protection, even if Walsingham had never agreed with his methods.

They are... exceedingly cold.”

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Simon Bellamy/Nathan Young
Summary:
Title's from the Iron and Wine song used in the show.
Soulmates AU - in this case, you're born with a tattoo of the first words your soulmate says to you. Used a bit of artistic licence – technically Nathan's would be 'I’m not a pantysniffer', but that’s too cruel to be tattooed on someone, even Nathan; plus I feel like even he might guess. Maybe.
It's a WIP, I'm guessing it'll be about ten chapters in full.

What is the New Year's Resolutions 2019 collection?
The New Year's Resolutions challenge/activity is part of Yuletide. Each year after a round of Yuletide ends, a new NYR collection is set up. This collection is for new works based on past Yuletide prompts.
Anyone can look at past Yuletide prompts and submit a work - you don't need to have participated in Yuletide before. Gifts must respect their recipients' Do-Not-Wants. However, if you're writing a NYR story because you are required to before you can sign up to Yuletide again, there are additional requirements.
See also the 2018 Yuletide FAQ and the nyr stories tag on this journal.
Prompts
2018's prompts are available on AO3, in a downloadable text file, and in an app. Prompts from pinch hitters who weren't signed up can be found here (DW) and here (LJ), and are also included in the app. For older prompts, try looking at the dashboards of previous NYR collections, such as New Year's Resolutions 2018.
Someday My Fic Will Come
This additional mini-challenge is run by swan_tower. If you have requested the same thing in at least 3 Yuletides, and you haven't been given it yet, record your prompt at this post, or look for a long-lingering prompt that you can fulfil.

I thought the NYR was just for prompts from this past Yuletide, but more options are great. (Just fyi, it looks like the link to the text file for prompts for YT 2016 leads to the list of prompts from 2015, and the link to the text file for pompts from 2015 is broken.)
no subject
I appreciate the heads-up about the links! Could you specify where those links are, please? I went and looked where I thought you might mean, in previous NYR collections' profiles, but the links I could find are working.
