This story is not just an AU, it's a fusion with A Companion to Wolves. I don't think it's necessary to have read the book, as long as you're okay with the premise that once upon a time Norse warriors were soul-bonded to telepathic and slightly magical wolves in order to fight monsters, and a thousand years of wolf-bonded military history later, the unofficial Marine Corps motto is "Every Marine a Wolfbrother."
I plotted out a whole epic slashfic in this universe (in which the military, for entirely pragmatic reasons having to do with what happens when wolves who are soul-bonded to Marines mate with each other, has a very different attitude toward homosexual activity than in our world) and ... then I wrote this first. There is lots more I want to write in this universe!
Many, many thanks to
