Over some time they start to feel and act different around eachother, but Paul still struggles with his ex and Richard tries to drown every problem in drugs. The only thing keeping them stable are their bandmates "Flake", "Doom", Till Lindemann and Oliver Riedel, together they are Rammstein. Will they pull themselves together? Or are they going to rip everything apart? DISCLAIMER: This story is FICTIONAL (!!!!!), I am not trying to assume any romantic or sexual relationship between any of the bandmembers, neither am I trying to oversexualize them, as I am aware of the fact, that they are real people. Now there will be some true facts throughout the story, BUT they will be ripped out of the context and time, they happened in reality (they are not comparible). Also, I have to inform you, that there will be a !TW! on the whole story, so if you are triggered easily by the topics of: selfharm, suicide, drugs or nudity - please think twice, if you want to read this story. Short information (not necesary): English is not my first language, so if there are any mistakes or a misunderstanding, please let me know, same goes for questions about/of the story - if you don't understand something just let me know in the comments. As I already mentioned as well, there will be SMUT in this story - well now I am asexual and do not understand much of that stuff. So if you do not like my writing style for this, just skip it, its not necessary for the characters or the story. So, that's pretty much it, one last request: please be respectful and behave decently. Other than that - Have fun reading!Complete

It's 1940, and the beautiful world thirteen year old Alina Fischer has grown up in is changing. It's hard to believe anything could change in the sleepy village of Felsental, outside of Cologne, Germany. But the world is changing, and with many strange occurrences, like the herds of people walking down the street with suitcases wearing yellow stars on their coats. Or the word "conscription", and all the terror it brings, and the extreme, sometimes desperate, loyalty to this one man, this Hitler fellow she's heard of. But Alina is just a child, or so her brother Otto says, she doesn't understand such things. She doesn't understand the red flags with the black symbols, why certain children can no longer be her classmates, why the world is being stripped of its beauty. Alina shouldn't understand, but she does. But the gift of understanding, once so valued, can be the line between life and death.Complete
