Basically, the Soul/soulmate Timer AU is when people would have a timer embeded in their wrists (not like they're born with it, I think like most people would choose to have this installed). Their time from the installation to their first meeting with their soulmate would be displayed as such, counting down to the meeting. The 2009 Timer is what I think was the origin.
