The True Soldier
A/N: These are the drabbles I wrote for my Soldier Verse on tumblr. I had been holding off putting them up because I want turn this into a full, proper fanfic. But that's looking like it's going to be 2019 project, so I decided to put these up for more people to read and easily find. I hope you all enjoy them!
Thank you to everyone who has submitted a prompt for this verse over the past year. I am still accepting them, so send them my way! Also thank you to Hollie (outlawqueenbey) for her amazing doodle based on this verse and for letting me use it as the cover for the story.
