Operation: S.O.U.L.M.A.T.E. is a series of Codename: Kids Next Door Alternate Universe fanfics. The first of these, Eternal Youth came out on September 10, 2022. Art for this series can be found on the author's Deviantart account.

This series contains examples of:

  • Author Appeal: The author is a cinema lover, and thus the name of the theater is a reference to a vintage film format, as is Numbuh 2.35:1's name.
  • Bamboo Technology: Y.O.U.N.G.S.T.E.R. is an example of 2x4 tech that makes kids remain kids forever.
  • Death by Adaptation: All that is known about how Grandfather died is that the Splinter Cell executed him, orphaning Monty and Father.
  • Fantastic Racism: Adults often discriminate against vaccinated kids, and a restaurant in Arlington called the Cafe Growth doesn't allow them in.
  • Free-Range Children: Just like in canon, operatives travel the world without their parents knowing.
  • Fun with Acronyms: The series continues the canon tradition of inventions and operations being named with acronyms.
  • Growing Up Sucks: Sector V consider this to be the case.
  • Immortality Begins at Twenty: Those that are vaccinated against the adulthood virus stop aging at 10 years old.
  • In Spite of a Nail: The Delightful Children are still the nemeses of Sector V.
  • Kids Are Cruel: The Splinter Cell is willing to use terrorist tactics to kill adults.
  • Mood Whiplash: At the end of Eternal Youth, we go right from four members of Sector V celebrating their vaccination to Nigel looking sad that they did it without him.
  • Never Grew Up: Kids that got vaccinated against adulthood virus may be much older than the 10-year-olds they appear to be. In the story Eternal Youth, Wally and Kuki encounter Numbuh 2.35:1, who’s actually 30 despite her appearing to be 10.
  • Original Character: The Splinter Cell sector consists of OCs.
  • Puppy Love: Wally and Kuki are obviously in love with each other, even though they haven't told each other "I love you" yet.
  • Renegade Splinter Faction: The Splinter Cell is a KND group that split off from Earth's KND a long time ago, and carries out lethal attacks against adults.
  • Sequel Hook: The last words of Eternal Youth hint towards a planned sequel.
  • Sleep Cute: Wally and Kuki are sedated together to receive the Y.O.U.N.G.S.T.E.R. vaccine.
  • Soulmate AU Fic: This is a Wally/Kuki Soulmate AU where soulmates share each other's emotions and pain.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: The refusal to kill adults is what separates the Kids Next Door from the Splinter Cell.
