Author's Notes: This is one I've been musing about for a while; I hope it turned out okay in the end. No real-life WW1 war poets or their psychiatrists were harmed in the making of this fic. I hope! I use a quotation at one point from Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum Est". I've archived this on Teaspoon, as I do with pretty much all my fics (link above).
