#Imperium Universe

[blutomindpretzel]

How about guy and honey in the imperium universe? 👀👀

In the Imperium, Quinn is pretty much keeping Honey as a pet- like on a chained leash and shit -it’s humiliating. He takes advantage of Darlin’s death to take his “emotions” out on Honey instead.

BUT GUY- and unempowered human running from department staff, sees this shifter chained to a tree; whimpering and groaning in pain as Quinn and his ‘goons’ plot their next move in the comfort of a warm shack. He stops in his tracks immediately, standing before them and trying to weigh his options.

At this point Honey has lost all hope of escape, but when they see this stranger standing before them- just panting and staring down at them- they growl at him.

All of that anger fades when Honey notices a deciding change in Guy’s eyes as he begins to rip the chains from the tree. Honey almost chokes on the metal from his errors before realizing what Guy was really trying to do. He was trying to set them free.

Guy didn’t have time for this, who knew how far bending him the enforcers were. But he knew this was far more important than any punishment the Department had waiting for him back there.

Thats when Guy just groans in defeat and pulls out this huge ass axe. ‘So that’s how he’s survived out here long enough to find me’

“When I say go, pull yourself as far as you can away from the tree, get me?”

Honey pulls, hard. And they didn’t open their eyes for a little while after his instruction. That’s when they feel it, the cold air of winter against their neck. It’s gone, it’s fucking gone. Honey just stares up at him in disbelief, and he stares right back down at them- looking just as shocked despite the little smile cocking his lips upward.

All of that is broken as the two turn their attention to the sound of booming footsteps finding their way towards them. All of that mutual freedom melted at the boisterous allure of yelling. Honey knew what they had to do.

With any strength that was left- which wasn’t much- Honey shifted and grunted at Guy to get on their back. Guy quickly slung the axe over his back and mounted the wolf, forcing his head forward and away from the danger.

The moment Honey felt Guy settle on their back, these two were flying through the trees, going anywhere but here. Honey forgot about every time Quinn used, beat, and fed on them- and every night spent shivering and crying silent tears in the cold while he resided in the warmth of his base with this friends- sipping blood and making plans.

Honey didn’t taste the blood in their mouth anymore, they were free. And for the first time in months; Honey smiled.

Guy is absolutely terrified as Honey takes him through the woods, and they’re only getting faster as a smile forms on their mouth. He understands now, and even begins to laugh from atop this absolute powerhouse of a shifter.

All these two have is each other now, Honey owes Guy their life. These two feel so safe around each other despite constantly being on the run from something or someone.

"oh no. i think i'm catching feelings"

(this is what i do instead of my very important assignments.

Suggestive near the end, but not descriptive

title from 'sex' by eden)

Freelancer can practically see the steam rushing out of Gavin's ears.

His face is red and his eyes were glaring holes into them. If they didn't know any better, they'd say he was mad at them.

But they saw the way Gavin's lips fought a smile. The corners of them tugging up without his approval, entirely giving away his facade.

They've grown awfully fond of him, and it almost scared them. Almost. No one could really be scared of such beauty, in their humble (and very correct) opinion. And if that didn't convince them, Freelancer would take any and every opportunity explaining how wise, endearing and kind the man in front of them was.

"Are you even listening to me?"

That snapped Freelancer right out of the clouds. They paused for a second, before coming clean.

"Nope. Sorry, handsome."

If Freelancer said Gavin's face managed to get even more red, he would deny it.

"You-" he starts, putting his face in his hands, breathing in and out to calm himself, "I am going to kill you."

If Gavin meant that, he didn't show it. Perhaps one could argue the blushing, smiling and wide eyes filled with adoration were all a ruse to hide his murderous intent. If that was the case, Freelancer had definitely fallen for (him) it.

Unfortunately for Gavin, Freelancer had one last card up their sleeve.

"And what are you going to do, Gavin? Fuck me to death?"

What were they here for again? Magic history tutoring? A movie date? Finishing the leftover pizza and wings they ordered the last time Gavin was over?

It didn't matter anymore, because Gavin was forcing them out of their seat, grabbing their face and kissing them breathless. All while maneuvering the both of them into their bedroom.

When Freelancer took a breath, they were on top of Gavin, legs on either side of his waist, one hand pinning one of his arms down while the other was resting on his chest. They stared at him as they felt his chest falling and rising, his heart beating beneath their touch.

They remembered what that meant, when a demon took the time to form a heart beat with magic. Slowly, they leaned down to kiss his chest, right where a real heart would be if he was human.

They looked up at him, and in their brief eye contact, Freelancer thanked him. For his help with DAMN stuff, for trusting them enough to be this vulnerable with his emotions.

For being in their life.

If Freelancer was asked if they started to cry in that moment, hiding it from Gavin by meeting his lips with their own again, they'd say it was drool.

Please understand that if I find a problematic character attractive I am not excusing their actions. I also would not want to be within 10 ft of their perimeter. And it's most likely because their voice/tone of voice/appearance.

That being said I'm gonna break my silence a little...

Imp!Hux and Alexis in both universes.

That is all.

[maxpaulll]

sorry for not postig for a bit </3 there was a death in the family.

But to cheer myself up here's one of my favourite pieces of all time!!! Imp!Freelancer and Vindemiator in their garden vv

[febreze-bottle-without-febreze]

“Gavin and Freelancer fall in love in every universe” “Milo and Sweetheart fall in love in every universe” respectfully hush we need to talk about how technology Frederick and Bright eyes find a way to die together in every universe

[danwhobrowses]

Okay sure just split the group again I'm sure nothing could go wrong this time dividing them into sub-groups to sting at high levelled and relatively unknown areas with high risk and high threat of boss level enemies in the vicinity and then go on another break to make us stew on that, it's fine IT'S FINE!

Erik might be a world building genius.

Long ass magic racism rant below

No So we all know that the redacted-verse has slurs. Some are obvious (feeder, thrall, leech etc.) in the cannon universe, it seems like people have noticed that it’s like bad to say these things. But the older vamps still say thing like ‘mutt’ and ‘thrall’ and shit like that. Like they were around during a time when it was okay to say those things.

But in imperium everyone is throwing these words around. Baring the obvious demon bigotry but the pack calling Vincent a leech with the same energy of a southern white man saying the hard r. And that kinda shit makes sense, considering the like, big brother, ‘1800’s but modern’ vibe imperium gives off. No move to have everyone be seen as equal when you’re trying to hoard power, or just trying to get by in an incredibly competitive (propaganda filled) world.

Factions of the Grand Alliance

"Our enemies are numerous, powerful, insidious, and dangerous beyond reckoning. Tis good we have friends just as formidable. I cannot fathom having to stand alone in such a galaxy." ~ Imperial Diplomat toasts his allies during a feast on Craftworld Ulthwe

The Brightest Night AU is a lot more clear with who it counts on the good end of the moral spectrum and who it doesn't. This doesn't mean people are perfect, but they're at least mostly good by nature and try to be better. The Grand Alliance is what stands of the "civilized" races of the galaxy, an united bulwark against the abyss that threatens to consume them all.

The Interstellar Imperium

The Imperium of Man as we would know it and the successor state to the Greater Human Dominion from before the Dark Age of Technology. Ruled by the God-Emperor Aurelian, they are far less totalitarian and xenophobic than in canon, their faith is far less fanatical and count abhumans and even some xenos as Imperial citizens. As demonstrated by his marriage to Isha. Instead of the glorification of a holy human form in a physical sense, they value the concept of Humanity as people who can work together towards a greater goal. They can be seen as a galaxy spanning Interex and have adopted their method of dealing with Chaos with mixed results. People are generally more aware and can protect themselves better, but those who do fall often fall faster and further than they otherwise would have. As the Horus Heresy never happened, the idea that betrayal can happen at any time from within while still present, it not all-encompassing. However, plenty of planets and forces have been corrupted, just never all at once in an empire-splitting civil war. Faith remains a pervasive aspect of life in the Imperium, especially Emperor still being alive who is able to put some top down power to reign in the worst parts of the Imperium at times.

The Mechanicum

The largest of Survivor States that rose after the fall of the Greater Human Dominion, they are the most heavily intigrated of them. As the Imperium in this AU operates more akin to a federal system instead of an autocracy, the Mechanicum retains enough independence to the point of never having been forced to integrate and become the Adeptus Mechanicus. Still steeped in their techno-mysticism, technological advancement is glacial at best and often just as restrictive in canon. While technology is still stagnant and they hold the lion's share, some technology remains available in M41 such as jet bikes and volkite weaponry (albeit expensive and rare). AI remains completely outlawed in Mechanicum space and they're constantly pushing against the Tau's utilization of it. Their worst tendencies have mellowed out, going from callously apathetic to just iron-plated dicks. Given the Imperium can rely on other Suvivor States, the Tau, and even the Kyn Leagues for some tech, the political influence they wield is strong but not overpowering.

Confederation of Eldar Craftworlds

Less arrogant and self-assured of their own supremacy than in canon. Especially after Eldrad Ulthran brokered a pact between the Craftworlds and the young Imperium to aid one another in the War of the Beast and then an impossible raid on Nurgle's Garden to free Isha. It was this Hail Mary sucess that formed the foundation of the Grand Alliance and the eventual marriage of Isha and Aurelian. In exchange for their aid, the Eldar repaired and upgraded the Astronomicon and shared anti-Chaos technology and measures to the Imperium. With the rescue of Isha, hope has been restored to the Eldar. While they are a long way off from being a "dying race", their population at least grows even at a tectonic pace. Although their corrupted kin, the Shadishari, or "Chaos Eldar", still vastly outnumber them. She is the most potent anti-Chaos weapon the Alliance have, able to use her divine power to cleanse corrupted worlds with her presence but even with the constant movement of the Celestial Court, she can only be in so many places at once.

The "Imperial" Aquilla (the Alliance Aquilla in this timeline) and its twin heads in this AU actually represent the Imperium and the Craftworlds, not the Imperium and the Mechanicum.

The Exodite Enclaves

Also known as "Medari", they continue their low-tech existence on Eldar Maiden Worlds. There is usually a singular, technologically advanced settlement on their worlds, meant as a space port for their Craftworld cousins and the Imperium, but even then the technology is heavily regulated. Exodites are far more prickly and selective when it comes to dealing with outsiders and are granted special rights upon their worlds that not even the Craftworld Eldar can ignore. They exhibit more Wood Elf-tendencies as well, favoring the use of Ghostwood over Wraithbone which they cultivate in Ghostwood Glades. While often relying on treaties of defense with the Craftworlds, they are capable of rousing "forest spirits" in the form of Ghostwood Dyrads, Ents, and Treekin. Not to mention the various dangerous fauna they keep, most famous being the dinosaurs their knights ride into battle.

The Tau Empire

The largest of the allied Xenos races, they were independent for several millennia, resisting the advances of both Humans and Eldar until they finally joined in M39 after a series of devastating catastrophes and a brief civil war that saw the Farsight Enclaves break away. Their caste system and loyalty to the Ethreals is the result of cultural traditions and social engineering; it's possible for a Tau to go against an Ethereal but those who do probably aren't welcomed in the Empire to begin with or often feel deep shame for doing so. They're genuinely well-meaning with their entrance into the alliance being the biggest boons in millennia, but they're coming to grips with the reality and the vastness of the galaxy as well as its dangers. They weren't stupid enough to trust the Dark Eldar with cultural exchanges, but the Drukhari still took their due with successive raids during their "Bloody Teared Years" leading to a huge amount of animosity that is uncharacteristic for an otherwise famously, levelheaded people. Their AI technology is still highly advanced and they do butt heads with the Mechanicum over it. They are technically immune from its anti-AI strictures but a close, covert eye is kept out of fear they might trigger another Men of Iron-like revolt. Most of the time though, the Tau don't really quite believe the scale and scope of the universe they're in, still somewhat sheltered by their relative youth.

The Leagues of Votann

Technically abhumans, they are officially classified as "Xenos Amicis" (aka Friendly or Allied Xenos) in Imperial and Alliance records for what amounts as galactic tax evasion as being counted as an abhuman Survivor State would involve a great deal more integration than what most Leagues are comfortable with. Not to mention the additional burdens Survivor States are expected to provide for one another. However, they're still happy to work with the other members of the Alliance, giving tech, resources, and expertise in exchange for goods and oaths of defense. The true nature of their Votann AI is a closed secret known only to the Emperor with not even the Mechanicum fully let in on it. Some have their speculation, but it is a "don't ask questions to answers you don't want" situation for everyone involved.

[malimaywrite]

imperium/cataclysm being over means there's just so much fun to play around with with those characters:

the fact that the meridian is still no closer to being healed in that world

the shift from one overbearing and dangerous power to another after what was essentially a revolution attempt

the canonically colder vega's imperium counterpoint being softer in a crueler world

the devolution/negative character arcs likely for huxley and damien

freelancer and gavin seeking of safety and healing from trauma in a world still falling apart

milo likely losing the ability to shift and the internal reckoning that might come from that

asher's dimmed core after his mate's passing possibly flickering again if he were to fall for baaabe here (& even the guilt that could come from that)

any fics that even make an attempT at an imperium season 3 at all

back to the first point, just how do you even function in a world on its last breath where even when you look to the skies you have a reminder of that

i am going to eat up fanfics WHOLE lmao

[milogreer]

imperium!gavin with the "until now i've done whatever it took to stay alive. but being alive and living are two different things." callback and imperium!kody stealing vega's "what are you gonna do, incubus? fuck me to death?" line?? oohhh erik when i catch you!!!
