You know the drill by now.
This thing was a pain to write. I love it, but it was really difficult.
Title: Consumed

Rating: PG-13
Fandom: The Great Escape, the movie
Pairing: Danny/Willie. Again.
Disclaimer: All to MGM/UA and the guy who wrote the book. ‘Cause, you know, Charles Bronson and John Leyton’s characters probably never would've done this.
Summary: post-war. Danny discovers that he isn’t the only one with war scars.
Notes: Willie exhibits mild - very mild - symptoms of what we now call "post-traumatic stress disorder." It was known as 'shell-shocked' in those days. I have, due to creative license, chosen not to portray the fact that PTSD is a problem that rarely gets better on its own without counseling. It also often hitches a ride with other problems, such as depression or substance abuse.
( a little bit of symbolism here, a little bit of sexual imagery there... )
