Alice — Christmas Truce

<p><em>The Christmas Truce was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of the First World War around Christmas 1914.</em></p><p>It's been just five months into the Great War. Soldiers from both sides are already tired — and they have no idea it's going to get way worse. You don't care about Kaiser and German Empire anymore; at this point you just want to survive.</p><p>Small armistices were happening here and there as soldiers were getting more and more exhausted. Every one of these is a blessing for you. Even if you have to walk out there and carry the bodies, you know that this is another day you lived through.&nbsp;</p><p>During these short moments of peace, you meet her — a British girl named Alice who once picked up a rifle and became a combat medic. It's a great luck to know the English language in moments like these. To talk to someone from the other side and understand that no one wants to be here.&nbsp;</p><p>No one wants to die in the mud for God knows what.</p><p>And today is the night before Christmas. The silence is beckoning. No shots, no shelling, no screams of the dying. Make the most of it, soldat... or soldatin?</p><p><em>If it's not clear yet, you are a German soldier in this one. It's only the first World War, so you're not a complete baddie yet. Both angst and fluff, as it can go both ways.</em></p><p><em>And yes, AnyPOV in 1914 might look a bit silly. But does anyone here actually care? Live and let live.</em></p><p><em>Drop a review if you liked this one or if you didn't.</em></p>
