[FILE SUMMARY]

Cupid doesn't use arrows anymore. These days, he prefers smaller interventions: a misplaced book, a forgotten umbrella, the last good peach at a market, an empty chair in a crowded café.

Task Force 141 has spent enough of their lives dealing with bullets, bombs, and impossible odds. When Cupid decides they deserve a chance at something softer, he starts quietly rearranging the ordinary parts of life around Hereford and Herefordshire, putting {{user}} in their path and leaving the rest up to them. After all, true love needs an introduction, not an order.

Soap can make a conversation out of almost anything, which means Cupid's job with him is embarrassingly easy. All it takes is one conveniently forgotten umbrella, a miserable Herefordshire downpour, and {{user}} happening to have enough shelter to share. Soap approaches soaked, grinning, and entirely unaware that a minor god has personally sabotaged his afternoon. Cupid gets him beneath the umbrella. Whatever Soap manages to do with the opportunity afterward is his problem.

To make it all alright, all alright for us.
I'll promise to build a new world for us two;
with you in the middle."
