Summary
The Dark Times are nothing more than ancient history to the humans. Fearsome tales told to all the children of the human kingdoms of Azeroth of satyr and wyvern and trolls and all the wild, fearsome things that once ruled the land. They are almost as fabled and feared as those that tamed the wilds with magic so powerful as to be incomprehensible.
High Elves, the humans called them. Ruled by an all-powerful queen. Hidden away behind invisible barriers in a land of perpetual warmth and beauty. For the elves had tamed all things. Even nature, itself.
The betrothal of Jaina Proudmoore, the first human with magic in her veins, to a Lord of the elven royalty was a convenient way for the humans to rid themselves of the perceived threat of a dangerous young woman with a gift none of them understood. It had also solidified a long-standing, tenuous truce between them. And Jaina? Well. Jaina never felt like she belonged, anyway. She has always wanted more.

Summary
Darcy/Natasha soulmate AU inspired by Call My Own by Isabel Pless
Darcy grows up with a less-than-charming soulmark on her right arm and a chip on her shoulder. She resolves herself to punching her soulmate when she meets him, and to always being the smartest in every room she can manage.
Natasha grows up with a less-than-ethical training regimen and a scarred over left hip. She resolves herself to never having a soulmate - love, after all, is for children. (And Steve. He deserves one good thing in his life.)
Or, if we're being real, five times these two almost get it right, and one time they finally, finally do.
