So I've been reading a lot of soulmate AU's lately, and I had this idea in my head...
Every person is born with a soulmate, and that persons first man is written on the back of their hand. One one meets their soulmate, it only takes skin on skin contact to seal the bond between them forever.
The thing is, inside of each soulbound relationship, there is one person who is the 'dominant' personality and one person who is the 'submissive' personality. The submissive becomes extremely emotionally dependent on the dom. Doing anything for them, wanting only what their dom wants. D/S verse to the /extreme/. However, no one knows for sure who will be the dominant and who will be the submissive in the bond. So most people, even if they meet their soul mate, are extremely reluctant to bond, and might even avoid them out of fear of loosing their free will.
Moriarty finds out that he and John are soulbounds. And decides that the best way to break Sherlock is to bond with John and take the good doctor away from the detective forever- Moriarty is /sure/ that he will be the dominant. So when he kidnaps John, pulls off his gloves, and presses his bare palm against Watsons, he's sure that this is the perfect way for him to gain an obedient little minion with the added benefit of sex.
Except...
Except the second their skin touches, Jim feels everything he'd previously valued slip away from him... Control doesn't matter, his boredom doesn't matter, the criminal network he spent so long building? It's nothing to him anymore... All he can think about is John Watson, good, lovely, handsome, perfect John Watson. He can't even think of himself in a singular context anymore- he /belongs/ to John. Body, mind, and soul. And he'll do /anything/ for him. He /needs/ him.
And John, a bit thrown but still himself, realizes the second he meets Moriartys eyes that Jim wont be causing any trouble anymore.
