Fandom: Inglourious Basterds
Pairing: Dieter Hellstrom/Hugo Stiglitz
Rating: PG (in this chapter, overall NC-17)
Words: 1400
Summary: The story of Dieter Hellstrom and Hugo Stiglitz, two childhood friends who loved each other once, before war and politics could drive a wedge between them.
A/N: 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 here. The first chapter is pretty tame, but the fic itself will contain explicit slash, sometimes gentle, sometimes extremely violent.
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.
Thanks toassassin_nariel for hours of fandom-discussions and for mutual inspiration.
I wrote this chapter in German, then translated it into English. That’s why the style is rather different from how I usually write. For those of you who speak German, I recommend you read the German version, which I’ve also posted on my journal. Personally, I think it’s better than the English translation. I haven’t decided yet if I will continue the story in both languages, or only in English. Thoughts?
