    Summary

    Major Charles Emerson Winchester III has spent his life with shields carefully in place, hiding what he is and how he feels behind a facade of politeness and high breeding. Corporal Maxwell Klinger is the exact opposite in every way, wearing what he is as armor so that it cannot be used against him. In Korea, Charles learns that there is little comfort he can take while hiding himself away, and that perhaps the only thing that will make this hell worth living through is recognizing kinship where he can.

    (Written with the idea that Charles was transferred to the 4077th at the Pilot, instead of in Season 6.)
