Let's consider the following: evidence suggests that the Cabal are about to move in on Earth and the City in a big way. We know that the Fallen and Cabal don't like each other any more than we do. And also, since the Traveler is protecting Earth, the Cabal will be intent on taking it out. Since the Fallen are fans of the Traveler just like we are, maybe that could cause us to form an alliance.
Also, consider that the Fallen have been our enemies in the vanilla game, and our main foe for two DLC's. Really, what more can Bungie do with them as enemies? I see three possibilities:
1. They'll remain enemies, albeit boring and generic compared to the Hive, Vex, Cabal, or whatever's coming next.
2. they'll be removed from the game, possibly destroyed like the Awoken Fleet was, to demonstrate the true magnitude of the latest threat.
3. They'll become reluctant allies to humanity. I can just imagine a Fallen Captain in the Vanguard room with Zavala, Cayde, and Ikora...

We should also consider that The Psion Flayers have complete control over where Phobos moves. So the Cabal could just say f*** it, and lob Phobos at us.
