There might have been some Dark Angels who escaped, too. Some of the Emperor’s Children Stormbirds were lifting off, even now, taking Third Legionnaires to, perhaps, salvation. It was unfortunate indeed that his sacrifice had been in vain. He was alone at last, Nemiel having fallen to prevent a mortal wound to his Primarch. The Lion swung again and again, and Space Wolves fell all around him but by now, it would not be long. His last sight before the darkness took him was the Tenth and Thirteenth Company closing ranks around their Primarch. He knew without looking that it was Sanguinius – and it was a good thing that he did not need to look, for the throw had been perfect, and the spear apparently poisoned. What had driven Ferrus to this? Could he have prevented it, somehow?Īnd then there was a spear in his back. He stood for a split moment, looking at the body of his former friend.
“Now I know better.”Īnd Fulgrim Phoenician drove Forgebreaker into its maker’s skull. “I thought you were my brother too,” Fulgrim said, and suddenly Fireblade flew out of the Gorgon’s hands, smashed aside by Forgebreaker’s might. “You’re my brother,” Ferrus exclaimed as Fireblade snaked within Fulgrim’s guard. Fulgrim knew his only hope was escape, though it took every gram of willpower within him not to wade into the thick of the fighting, killing as many of the traitors that had been his nephews and brothers as he could.īut he prevented himself from doing so, because the one former brother whose head he wanted more than anything was so close.Īnd, instants later, his hammer clashed with Ferrus’s sword. Lion el’Jonson was still alive and fighting, but surrounded. The vox had reported that Vulkan was gone, presumed dead. The Tenth and Thirteenth Companies were with him, Tarvitz’s and Lucius’s groups. There were still landing craft they were not stuck on Istvaan V’s charred surface. They were stuck between two fires, and Fulgrim knew they needed a fighting retreat above all else. The tired Tarvitz could already see their lines, the guns mounted therein – The Space Wolves, Raven Guard, Word Bearers and Iron Hands were assembled, a show of force the like of which had been seen on only a few singular occasions during the Great Crusade. But the fighting had been fierce, and Fulgrim was forced to lead a tactical retreat to connect with the second wave, which had already fortified itself in the landing zone. Tarvitz’s Emperor’s Children had been in the first wave, alongside Lion el’Jonson’s Dark Angels and Vulkan’s Salamanders. In response, a fleet of all available Legions had been hastily assembled. And of all the Primarchs, it was Sanguinius that stood closest to Horus in, if not military record, then the esteem of his brothers.Īnd now Horus had betrayed the Emperor, Sanguinius and Magnus the Red by his side.Ĭaptain Uthizzar of the Thousand Sons had led the cruiser Tarkovsky back to Terra, carrying news of the Warmaster’s devastating betrayal upon the sands of Istvaan III, where the traitors’ own Legions had been purged of loyalist elements. The Luna Wolves’ martial record was unmatched, and Horus’s closeness to the Emperor of Mankind was also second to none. Horus Lupercal was the greatest of the Primarchs, even – he was forced to admit – including Fulgrim himself. I've also written several installments of the Renegades Saga ( 5, 8, 9, 13). Lorgar's Discovery, Lorgar's Betrayal is a Warhammer 30K/40K alt-Heresy featuring an Imperium that doesn't regress as far after the Heresy, retaining the Imperial Truth and continuing to (very slowly) edge forward.īrilliant Souls, Sovereign Minds is a Sailor Moon reinterpretation with a more science-fiction aesthetic, in which Usagi wakes up early for once and does not run into Luna that day.įrom the Foundation (on Sufficient Velocity) is a Marvel Comics Quest where the players control Doctor Doom and Latveria. Phoenix Imperium is a Warhammer 30K AU in which the primarchs are scattered to each other's canonical homeworlds - thus, for instance, the Third (canon's Fulgrim) is the first primarch found, on Cthonia. To begin with, links to current fics I've actually committed to. The intent is for this thread to either contain or have links to other threads containing all fanfiction I've written that I wouldn't rather have forgotten. The most common fandoms will be Warhammer 30K/40K, ASOIAF, and Star Wars. This thread is intended to collect them, in large part for my own benefit in keeping track.
AIRBORNE KINGDOM NOMADS ORRERY PLUS
So I have a large number of bits and pieces of fics - most often, abandoned or semi-abandoned beginnings, plus one-shots - and over time I've been generating more.
