Summary
Fated Foes. Fated Friends? Fated to be something more…? We’ll Meet Again follows the story of two of Fate’s finer creations. Two souls, handpicked by the divine herself, to walk the Earth together until the condition that breaks the spell which binds them is met. Through many reincarnations, living more lives than they could keep track of, John and Simon loath, laugh, live, and perhaps learn to love each other.
Fate is to blame for a lot of things. Some of them good, some of them terrible. Some see her work in the little, bothersome moments, like forgetting your umbrella on the only rainy day in June. Others believe that she walks around with a ball of red yarn and ties it between the fingers of lovers as they sleep. Fate herself would say her actions are much, much larger than simply losing your keys or the trivialities of romance.
We’ll Meet Again provides a glance into each of these fickle lives, where the men face trials, trivialities, and the huge challenge of coming to terms with their feelings. Feelings which, at the time, could land them in some very hot water.

Summary
“Alright, ye little weapon,” he calls out, and the wolf tilts his head just slightly. “No’ a nice night for a stroll.” Objectively it isn’t—the chill and the near-darkness making sure of that—and yet the both of them are out anyway.
The wolf doesn’t respond, even though there’s a detached part of Soap’s brain that thought he might’ve. A bark or a call or something.
Soap just ducks his head and laughs softly to himself—or at himself, he isn’t sure. “Don’t you have a pack to get back to? Why’re you all alone?”
This, at least, seems to get the wolf’s attention. He is ghost-like, an eerie half-presence. Even his feet upon the grass seem inconsequential, as if he had no mass at all. A spectre. He ducks his head too, mirroring Soap, and huffs a sharp breath.
---
After Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish leaves the military due to an injury in battle, he retreats to the beautiful Glasgow countryside, keeping no company but his own in his wooded cabin. When a wolf starts showing up, though, he realizes that maybe he was more lonely than he had first thought. And also that he likes dogs.

Summary
There’s a quality in Simon’s voice that John’s never heard from him before, but that he’d recognize anywhere. It’s the tone his niblings use when they aren’t sure if they’ve done something wrong. The hesitance he hears from another vet who isn’t sure if the story they’re about to tell is appropriate for present company because no one really debriefs you from a life of violence and killing and casual dark humor to a life without it. The sound of a man burned and turned away so many times that he never had a chance of discerning what he’d done wrong. The sound of a man who, nine times out of ten, was manipulated into thinking he was wrong in the first place.
The sound of a man who desperately needs a safe place to land, but only ever found it in bits and pieces if he found it at all.
--
After over a decade apart, John and Simon find safety.
