It's not that you're missing an idiom. All of your versions are proper English. It's just that in the Western tradition, fate or destiny is immutable. In Greek mythology, the Moirai ("Fates" in English) were three goddesses, sisters who determined the destinies of humans. One sister spun the thread of a life, the second measured it, and the third cut it. Their decisions could not be changed
