CW: Horrifc Violence and Injury to a Child (Referenced)

Okay. This is very weird and different and rather sweet by grimdark standards. I absolutely loved it!

At some point in the ongoing war between the Night Lords and Dark Angels that I haven't come across yet, the Sons of the Lions have got their hands on Jago 'Prince of Saying Death to the False Emperor Before It Was Cool' Sevatar(ion). He is being kept on the Invincible Reason and treated to the Knights of Caliban's finest hospitality.

During his stay he makes an unlikely acquaintance and goes for a little wander to stretch his legs.

Look, this is absolutely my jam. Gimme one of the sympathic 'baddies', especially one whose life and abilities only ever allowed him to be tormented, much like his Primarch and I'll be happy. Make it one of those brutal Wolverine being sweet to a young mutant type stories that always make me cry, and I'm yours!

This really shows how unbelievably fucked the Dark Angels and the Imperium are. Oh, the Night Lords are so evil when they skin those who refuse to bend the knee to the Emperor (well...yes, actually), but the Imperium are the good guys and they do what happens in this story.

Creepy, cool, genuinely sweet, harrowing; everything I want from a story of one of Nighthaunter's sons. ( )
