Indulge in a little Practical Gothicism...
World War II OCs
The Upshaws enlisted together and regret it very much because it means its more difficult for them to get away with fucking.Tthey dont regret joining the war itself, as it makes it easier to get away with the cannibalism & murder, but they dislike how many eyes it puts on them.
Theo's position would be considered a "signaller" and he'd be a private.
Thus, he would be in a signal platoon because he's operating a No.18 radio, meaning the twins are seperated on the field. Despite being most often in the command tent, as a No.18 radio operator, Theodore relishes in the multiple opportunities for cannibalism on the front. No longer does he need to ask his brother pretty please to kill people for him to eat. Now he only has to ask William to bring him back abandoned meat.
They're both 3rd infantry division, and take part in the assult on Normandy. (3rd infantry were the first boots on the ground on Sword Beach). Theo has to watch his brother go off in that dammned boat, knowing he'll have to go out soon too....
Someone has to get the radio within signal distance, of course.T his is, potentially, the first time Theodore has actually been part of an assult, seeing as he would have been by command most of the time as the radio operator itself, rather than laying radio line. And as such, he's terrified.
They get seperated, and Theo thinks William died. He finds an arm. They had carved each other's initials into their wrists so they could always identify each other. Well, Theo identifies the arm. He eats it, desperate to keep some part of William with him.
Eventually they get reunited and have a happy reunion. William is so pleased Theo ate his arm. Pleased Theodore loved him enough to keep him.
Theodore's cannibalistic urges started the first time he got punched. He tasted his own blood and that was that! It was fairly young, around 8-11. Both twins were bullied and that plus a codependent helicopter mom (who only hovers when its to make sure they’re being ‘good enough’ and suceeding at fulfilling her idea of a "proper sucessful family") equals him getting hit young and William pushing the classmate who did it into the river (baby’s first murder). They’re young enough there's no suspicion cast on them either. Thus both acquire their tastes. Theo starts eating the skin off his fingers (its a compulsion) until Will forces him to stop. Tells him he’ll get better meat if he needs to.
And Theo oh lovely Theo tells him he wouldnt ask Will to cut himself apart. (They’re so young! just babies, really!) Until Will confesses he’s been wanting to kill again, so really there’s no burden. It grows to be.. not quite a compulsion itself for William as well, but.. almost an addiction? perhaps? William needs it. He wants to try every possible way to kill. Wants to try them all so he can say with absolute certainty what his favorite method is. As of wartime it’s still the knife, though he does have a soft spot for a garrote. And, of course, the gun works just as well, but he does of course, prefer to be up close. It's more personal, seeing the light die in their eyes, feeling their breath leave.
Theo is the younger twin and the one who yes is slighter but he's the one who pushes William down and sticks a hand in his pants the first time. He's desperately hungry hungry for something he can't explain and he wants so badly to eat William. To consume him entire. But he can't, he won't, he shan't bear to be without his other half. But he needs something and this will have to do.
Being young and realizing that the way he wants his brother is not just cannibalistic hunger but something more. They’re just out the other side of puberty and is he doesnt do something he thinks he’ll snap. So he shoves his brother to the ground, nevermind that William is a killer. Nevermind he’s larger. Nevermind his confused cry. Theodore needs to show him what they can be, needs to show him how they fit. And oh as soon as those fingers wrap around William’s prick he never wants anyone else’s to touch him.
A similar panicked cry occurs the first time Theo starts prodding around Will’s asshole. Although that one includes many more tears and a couple pleads for it to stop. But Theodore wants to show him. Wants to show him it can feel good, show him how the fit together, that they were meant to be like this. That there's no other way for them to be. Suffice to say that William is soon addicted. And then soon enough he’s chasing Theodore through the halls and pinning him down to return the favor. He doesn’t quite fit inside the same way Theo did in him. Needless to say Theo cries the whole while.
It hurts and it keeps hurting, (and neither of them realize it would be fixed of they properly prepped) but ohhh how William loves licking the tears off his face. It becomes a reward, Theodore letting Will fuck him, instead of the other way round.
Of course once they’re on the Front that doesn't happen at all. They're always far too loud.
They do still fuck though. In the tents, in the trenchs, if they can.

France 1944
The 3rd British Infantry Division was the first British formation to land at Sword Beach on D-Day, 6 June 1944, as part of the invasion of Normandy, part of the larger Operation Overlord. For the assault landing, 3rd British Division was organised as a Division Group, with other formations temporarily under its command. These included 27th Armoured Brigade (Sherman DD amphibious tanks of 13/18th Hussars, and the Sherman tanks of the Staffordshire Yeomanry and East Riding of Yorkshire Yeomanry) , 1st Special Service Brigade and No. 41 (Royal Marine) Commando, with 5th Royal Marine Independent Armoured Support Battery (Centaur IV close support tanks), and specialist units of the 79th Armoured Division: 22nd Dragoons (Sherman Crab mine clearing tanks), Royal Engineers 77 and 79 Assault Squadrons of 5th Assault Regiment (Churchill AVRE tanks for obstacle demolition).[26]
The division's own artillery were all self-propelled (the artillery field regiments with M7 Priest;[27][28][29][30] the anti-tank regiment: M10 tank destroyer[31][32]) and the SP field guns and RM Centaurs were able to fire from their landing craft during the run-in to the beach. In addition, 3rd Division had 101 Beach Sub-Area HQ and No. 5 and No. 6 Beach groups under command for the assault phase: these included additional engineers, transport, pioneers, medical services and vehicle recovery sections which would hold and manage the beach landing area after the initial assault.[33][34]
The 3rd Division's brigades were organised as brigade groups for the assault, with 8 Brigade Group making the first landing, followed by 185 Brigade Group and 9 Brigade Group in succession during the morning and early afternoon.[33]
The 3rd Infantry Division fought through the Battle for Caen, in Operation Charnwood and Operation Goodwood.[35]
Sword Beach
On Sword Beach, 21 of 25 DD tanks of the first wave were successful in getting safely ashore to provide cover for the infantry, who began disembarking at 07:30.[189] The beach was heavily mined and peppered with obstacles, making the work of the beach clearing teams difficult and dangerous.[190] In the windy conditions, the tide came in more quickly than expected, so manoeuvring the armour was difficult. The beach quickly became congested.[191] Brigadier Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat and his 1st Special Service Brigade arrived in the second wave, piped ashore by Private Bill Millin, Lovat's personal piper.[192] Members of No. 4 Commando moved through Ouistreham to attack from the rear a German gun battery on the shore. A concrete observation and control tower at this emplacement had to be bypassed and was not captured until several days later.[193] French forces under Commander Philippe Kieffer (the first French soldiers to arrive in Normandy) attacked and cleared the heavily fortified strongpoint at the casino at Riva Bella, with the aid of one of the DD tanks.[193]
The 'Morris' strongpoint near Colleville-sur-Orne was captured after about an hour of fighting.[191] The nearby 'Hillman' strongpoint, headquarters of the 736th Infantry Regiment, was a large complex defensive work that had come through the morning's bombardment essentially undamaged. It was not captured until 20:15.[194] The 2nd Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry began advancing to Caen on foot, coming within a few kilometres of the town, but had to withdraw due to lack of armour support.[195] At 16:00, the 21st Panzer Division mounted a counter-attack between Sword and Juno and nearly succeeded in reaching the Channel. It met stiff resistance from the British 3rd Division and was soon recalled to assist in the area between Caen and Bayeux.[196][197] Estimates of Allied casualties on Sword Beach are as high as 1,000.[15]
...the 3rd Division suffered 2,586 killed with over 12,000 wounded...
Low countries and Germany
The division participated in the Allied advance from Paris to the Rhine and fought in the Netherlands and Belgium and later the Allied invasion of Germany. For the campaign in Normandy, the division was commanded by Major-General Tom Rennie until he was wounded on 13 June 1944; Major-General 'Bolo' Whistler, a highly popular commander, took command on 23 June 1944.[36] During the campaign in Normandy, two posthumous Victoria Crosses were awarded to units under its command. In August 1944, corporal Sidney Bates of 1st Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment and in March 1945 Private James Stokes of the 2nd Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry, both units part of the 185th Infantry Brigade.[37]
During the often intense fighting from Sword Beach to Bremen, the 3rd Division suffered 2,586 killed with over 12,000 wounded.[38] Following the German surrender, the division moved towards central Germany. It was then ordered to Berlin, to become part of the Western Allied garrison, but before a move could be made it was sent to Belgium. It was intended that the division would be flown to the United States, from where it would join the assault on Japan. With the surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War, the move was cancelled.[39]
