Hearth's Warming eve has never been colder. But, as snow falls and ice forms, contrast appears in our trench. Not a blink, strobe, or flash; nay, the sun itself.
This story is in 1st Person. Why do we not have a 1st person tag on FimFic yet? It truly does boggle the mind.

There it is... lol. You don't even wanna know how many times I've checked to see if it was up yet so I could add it to bookshelves
.
7896837 I'm trying to hit that time of the day when most people are on.

Yeah, but still...
Wish that we would all learn to live in harmony.
There are things that unite us all, make us all the same. Life and living should be what we all strive for, not conquering and death.
Let harmony be our life and our goal.
Thank you for a very well written and moving story.
7896978 I'm glad you found joy with this story. I'm also glad the themes I wanted to get across did make it across!
I haven't read it yet but the reason there is no 1st person tag is 1st and 3rd are considered totally fair literary viewpoints.
A bunch of us think second person is bollocks and that tag is usually more for avoiding such stories than looking for them :p
7897127 I too don't enjoy second person stories.
Also, I'd love to see a comment from you once you have read the story!
don't forget to like. tryna hit the front page.
Another amazing story! You. Are. Fabulous.
7897451 Jeez, thank you!
Really interesting story. Seeing Celestia as this divine creature almost like an actual goddess is really interesting. The war I suppose is equivalent to the Great War, the war of trenchs.
And no, there's no need for first person tag or third person tag. There's one for second person tag, but those stories feel weird to read.
7897784 I like how so many people don't like 2nd person stories
7897791 It feel weird because we're so unused to it. I don't think I've ever read a story in second person before fimfiction.
7897823 It's so damn clunky to read. first person is like; I am this person. Third person is like; these are people. I see them. Second person is like... I am this guy, but I see him, and I am being told his ideas.
Shit sucks yo.
Christmas truce of 1914 inspired eh.
7898529 I was hoping someone would notice.
7898542 Didnt get to read it yet but thats the first thing that came to mind.
7898643 Well, once you do, I'm sure you'll see the similarities even more.
I'd like to see a comment from you once you do, as well.
Nice,
Such truces werent unheard of during WW1. The "Battlefield" was large and command while trying to discourage such stuff couldnt really force people to be cold bloded killers. There were parts where the common soldiers would just not fight/shoot at each other even if they had a clear shot at the enemy. One of the reasons why modern military trains the soldiers to be desensitize towards the killing of enemies, at least in the "heat of the moment".
Hmm read somewhere about a "experiment" made during the pike and shot era (16th-17th century or so?) where when shooting inanimate objects during training most of the formation would hit the target, while on the actual field of battle most would miss, as people would tend to try not to actually kill someone so aim higher then the target or just not shoot.
7900583 Do you happen to watch LindyBeige on youtube?
7900691 Yeah him i found a few weeks ago.
Followed people like Skallagrim, Metatron and Shadiversity so noticed one of his videos as suggested. Fire Arrow one i think, his stuff is quiet entertaining.
7900722 yeah, his vid about tank turrets is a fav of mine. The second you mentioned the pike era test i was like "oh, he HAS to have seen the LindyBeige video on shoot to kill.
7900817 yeah that was one of the videos now that you mention it, their short-ish so one can binge-watch them.
I have to say... this is extremely well done. You've more than earned a favorite; however, there are some mistakes here and there.
This could be made to be more effective of a line by adding "even" between "don't" and "know," but that's just my opinion.
This could be converted into one sentence. "Though not a single soul has spoken, we could all speak oh so loudly."
Again, this was magnificent. You've definitely earned my favorite.
7907530 Thank you for the fave and like, I presume! And the comment; I'm glad you enjoyed this little fic of mine.
As for your comments, I agree with the last one, but I think I'll keep that first line the same.
You know, with all the atention WWI have been getting as of late (Battlefield 1, Wonder Woman 2017, The Great War, etc.), I find myself more interesting in this war that started a hundred years ago and changed the world forever.
