Summary: The war changes everything, except the things that will never change.
Note: This follows all the posted parts of
"Crown and Country" (they're all in this comm as well as on AO3 but out of order). This is less sexy and much darker than those.

This is absolutely lovely. I love the metaphor of the title; there's something wonderfully bittersweet about the contrasts between love and comfort and one side, and the horrors of war on the other.
And THIS:
The cottage at the edge of the known world was likely lost to him; by the time this war ended, Lionel knew, he would be an old man.
*tears up*
Thanks for this! <3

Do believe me on the redundancy. I've been editing the last bit and it has some of the same lines nearly word for word over and over. The sorts of things people say before falling asleep etc. *g* There's almost nothing that moves a plot as such.
