I wrote this a very long time ago, back in May 2016. This was around the time when I first started writing in the 3rd person, so I guess this was practise of some kind -- as before I only tended to write in 1st for my original stories etc. I never really intended to share this anywhere because it's literally tiny, only 2,300 words, but I just reread it and thought, hey, it's not so bad xD

I have tweaked it a little from the time when I first wrote it. Because it was 'practise', my pov was a little mishmash and switched in a few places between Baekhyun and Chanyeol, so now it's just Baekhyun's pov (which is a little rare for me considering I write from Chanyeol's pov most often, probably just so I get to describe the beauty of Baekhyun hahahaha~).

This is supposed to be set in WW1 but none of the characters are allocated to a certain country/side. Also, because this was me simply getting to grips with the 3rd person, I didn't do any research for writing this so there may be some inaccuracies which I will ask you to forgive me for. I remember that I wanted to take this idea further and make it into a fic somehow but I couldn't think of a plot. I still can't, so yeah, that's not happening xD This little oneshot shall remain as it is, and I think it works like this. I hope you like it too! ♥

Chapter 1: When I read the forward, the first thing I thought about was Dulce et Decorum est!!! It's one of my favorites but it's so heartbreaking just like White Feathers over here. You really portrayed Baekhyun's emotional turmoil perfectly. So sad *sighs* but brilliantly written <3

Chapter 1: This was beautiful! In my heart they definitely both make it though and get to chase that happily ever after that Yeol wanted.

Chapter 1: It's funny how Chanbaek find time to kiss regardless of what is going on around them. These boys will be the death of me.

Chapter 1: Love how you killed Kris in the first paragraph that was unexpected I know you did mention character death in the forward but I didn't expect it so soon well done for catching me off guard.
There's something about the way you write your chanbaek interactions in all your fics that I just can't get over.
Chanyeol was so sweet and supportive and Baekhyun was just real in his reaction to what he witnessed.
Loved the story thanks again for sharing it.
