In Nazi-occupied France, there are two rules that every Jewish person must follow in order to stay alive: don't trust anyone, and if you see a uniform, run the other way. Those are the rules that Ruth Feldman and her family live by day in and day out, but there is only so long that one can keep up the cat and mouse game. Eventually, the mouse is always caught. | Original story with some integration of Inglourious Basterds & Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz x OC

* CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN* Pskov, Russia - Winter 1941 The Germans came quickly. They stayed even longer. Eighteen year-old Katja is left alone when her brother leaves to fight for the Red Army. By the time winter settles over Pskov, her town is already occupied. Its streets patrolled by enemy soldiers, its people starving, its familiarity stripped away piece by piece. Survival becomes her only goal. Until she meets him. Wilhelm Winter, a young German officer stationed in occupied Pskov, never imagined the war would look like this. A lover of Russian literature and music, he finds himself trapped between orders and conscience, and the lines between right and wrong begin to blur. A single act of kindness, a pair of gloves offered in the snow, binds their lives together. What begins as fleeting glances and stolen moments grows into something far more dangerous. In a city ruled by fear and suspicion, Katja and Wilhelm navigate hunger, loss, desire, and the unbearable weight of loving the enemy. Every meeting risks exposure. Every choice carries consequences that neither of them can escape. As winter deepens and the war demands more blood, they must decide whether love can survive under occupation or whether it will destroy them both. * Wilhelm Winter is inspired by the character from the German miniseries, Generation War. This story is a fictional reinterpretation and does not aim to portray the character or events exactly as shown in the series. While the name and visual inspiration remain the same, this version of Wilhelm is written for this story alone.
