Gegenstück und Ergänzung 1/?

To my dear English-speaking readers: I usually write fanfiction in English, and exclusively in English. For some reason, when the idea of a Hellstrom/Stiglitz-fic appeared in my head, I started writing it in German. It wasn’t even a conscious choice, it just happened. Maybe because both characters are German. But, for your convenience (and my feedback), I translated this fic into English: Opposite and Complement, Part One

Titel: Gegenstück und Ergänzung 1/?
Autor: linndechir
Fandom: Inglourious Basterds
Pairing: Dieter Hellstrom/Hugo Stiglitz
Rating: PG (in diesem Kapitel, das wird sich noch ändern)
Wortzahl: 1400
Zusammenfassung: Die Geschichte von Dieter Hellstrom und Hugo Stiglitz, zwei Kindheitsfreunden, die sich mehr liebten als alles andere auf der Welt, bevor Politik und Krieg sie entzweien konnten.
A/N: In English, because I’m too lazy to translate my own author’s note. Hellstrom/Stiglitz was begging to be written, after that whipping scene, but I wanted to write more than just torture-porn. I wanted, don’t hit me for this, I wanted to write a tragic, beautiful, profound love story. Yes, between two (ex-)Nazis, who hate each other in canon. So I came up with the idea that they were childhood friends, became lovers later, and eventually things turned really bad until they reached the state of affairs we see in the movie. How? That’s what I’m trying to explore in this story. The first chapter is pretty tame, but the fic itself will contain explicit, sometimes gentle, sometimes extremely violent slash.
The prison scene in this chapter is set in 1935. Hugo is in prison for some minor breach of regulations, not for the murders we see in the movie.
