My deepest, deepest love and thanks to @skolas-a for her beautiful portrait of my Rogue Trader, Aurelia von Valancius.
You might recognize the gown and its purity seal from a certain birthday party in Predator & Prey!
Please give @skolas-a's beautiful artwork a look if you haven't already!

Tanna Talk: This Week in the Rogue Trader (Video Game) AO3 fandom (March 24- 30 2024)
"Oh, yes, a dance was never just a dance. It was also a display of the soul. It was love, and war, and didn’t they say that all was fair in love and war ?" - Tapestry of Fate, Ch. 34.
Lots of new plot bunnies this week in the trenches. Anyway, this is user aylinvail reporting to you live over vox caster from the Starseeker Bridge.
Cool new fics
Maybe the fic did something new. Maybe it innovated. Maybe it's an entirely new concept we haven't seen yet. A non-comprehensive list.
Two sides of the same Aquila - An AU where the Warrant of Trade is held by two most incompatible individuals in the Koronus Expanse. A series of pivotal moments of their relationship where they need to learn to share the power, space and an Interrogator in order to make it out alive. BOY THAT IS FRESH @vitanithepure.
Eliminate - A fic about Epitaph and Calcazar telling Heinrix to kill you. Told in 500 brilliant bittersweet words. @pycnolite's masterclass in how to keep it short and sweet.
Omega von Valancius - OMG @pallysuune has finally brought us the first A/B/O RT fic. As an omega, Violet von Valancius wasn't fit to be the Rogue Trader, and everyone around her seemed to know it too. But no one was more vocal about it than her so-called-peer. Can her actions ever earn his respect, or will she forever be lesser in his eyes?
The First Engagement - I know, I know, but listen. Have you seen a Lord Captain Heinrix x Interrogator RT yet? No. Fits here. Anyway, if you wanted to see what Heinrix is like as a jackass who "summers" in Janus, here ya go.
Who updated?
Here are the longfics that updated this week.
Starseeker - Heinrix/RT intrigue rewrite of game events with Kunrad-related canon divergence. And a shoujo romance.
gossamer of starlight - RT/Yrliet. Yrliet watches her elantach's dynasty fall apart in slow motion. Non chronological.
Predator & Prey - RT/Marazhai. Aurelia von Valancius has a secret. Marazhai Aezyrraesh has a craving. They're perfectly matched opposites, so long as as they can overcome their differences.
Theatre of Hearts - RT/Nocturne of Oblivion arranged marriage. And from what I hear, getting really cultural difference-flavor of interesting.
Much ado about the Lord Captain - A Comedy of Terrors - RT/Heinrix. A retelling of Rogue Trader with tons of pining. A forest of pine trees. And smut.
Immortalium - RT/Heinrix. NEW! From @cawyden-gaming. The story follows Venria von Valancius on her journey of coming to terms with her past and present.
Iron Maidens - Multiship. An Iron Widow x Rogue Trader crossover.
Omnissiah Forgive Me - RT/Pasqal. Pasqal Haneumann owes his life to the Lord Captain, Kassard. When he joined the Lord Captain's retinue, Pasqal found he had got more than he had bargained for. For the Lord Captain was enough for Pasqal's faith to be shaken to its core.
My Knight So Daring - An Imperial Knight!Heinrix x noble!RogueTrader arranged marriage AU. And from what I hear, getting really hot.
Into Temptation - RT/Marazhai/Heinrix. Former Ministorum Priest now Rogue Trader Cassius Von Valancius must contend with his heretical desires for Marazhai. Matters become even more complicated as his feelings for Heinrix Van Calox deepen.
Edge of Daybreak Unbroken - RT/Heinrix. Heretic Rogue Trader gets brought back to the start of the game. Time travel shenanigans ensue.
Once we were - RT/Heinrix. A story following the events of the game, in which Imogene von Valancius allied her dynasty with Xavier Calcazar and brought peace and prosperity to the Koronus Expanse. But neither last long, and the line between hero and heretic is always blurred.
Domino Effect - Multi. Betrayal is terrible. It never comes from one's foes. But instead from those closest. It comes from a place of safety. Of love.
Addendums
they go here. for in case there are late night updates. im out of spoons bros.

“Just know that if you try to cut my life short, you won’t have an easy time of it.” If she went, she promised herself that she would burn this entire house down with her.
“Won’t I?”
In the light of the candle, Aurelia watched Heinrix slowly bring his index finger and thumb to his mouth. She saw the flash of his tongue beyond his lips, wetting them in a way that was most obscene. His gaze was fixed on her as he stretched his fingers out to the wick. She was plunged into darkness, save for the thin, pinpoint glow of his optical implant.
“I hope you can see in the dark, Lady Aurelia,” Heinrix whispered in her ear. “Because I can see you just fine.”

My Knight So Daring Sneaky Peek
“Is that our dinner?” There was a strange tone to his voice; hopeful, perhaps. Truly, he must have been hungry to consider the slurry his meal.
“No.” Aurelia set the fish paste into the basket. “It is for the cat.”
“The cat?” He asked, and then made a sound of recognition. “The one in the garage?”
“Yes.”
“I see.” He considered her, tilting his head to the side in the same way his Knight did earlier. “Why are you feeding the cat?”
“Because it deserves a decent meal on a regular basis. Especially, if it can’t catch a rat in all this rain. Bees and dried leaves do not seem all that tasty to me.”
“I wouldn’t worry about that.” Heinrix closed the distance, stepping next to Aurelia to pull from a shelf a tin that had a picture of some exotic fruit on it. “Wherever Imperial Knights are housed, there is always a surplus of rats,” he explained. He didn’t look at Aurelia, no, his eyes were fixed on the can as he turned it in his hands, looking for something. “They’re attracted to the cables and the wiring. Knight Pilots of old learned from the Brotherhood of Mars that cats were the best means of defending the sacred technology. Every Knight House keeps Sanctuary cats.”
“Until the cats also eat the wires.” Aurelia took a half-step away from her husband; he was too close for comfort.
“Always a possibility,” he conceded, “but I have yet to see it.” He tapped a date stamped in black with his finger and gave a nod of his head. He reached for another can, this one with the image of some bovine creature on the label and repeated the process.
“Is the cat one of your Sanctuary cats, then, and not some stray from the village?”
“I don’t know. A lot’s happened since I’ve been away.”
“I saw the food bowls.” Aurelia lifted her chin. “You were feeding it.”
Heinrix shrugged his shoulders. “And? Is this something you wish to fight about, wife?”
“Fight about?" She was affronted. "Why? I was just about to feed it myself.”
A small smile spread across Heinrix’s face. “You look like you want to fight with me.”
That was true. Aurelia had come for a fight. “I do, actually,” she found herself admitting, “but not about the cat.”

Aurelia and Heinrix: 3 and 42 please!
3. ...goodbye.
He gently wrapped her fingers around the sheath. "I hope you never have to use this," he said softly. "But if you do..."
"Stick the pointy end in the attacker," she finished, a wry smile on her lips. "I know."
"And don't freeze." His free hand fondly touched her cheek and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I will remember, Heinrix."
"Good." His eye glanced down at her lips. "War is unpredictable, but I will be back as soon as I can." A shy smile passed over his face. "It will be... novel to have someone to come home to."
"A novelty, am I?" Aurelia raised her eyebrow, though there was no ire in her tone.
"Very much so." Heinrix slowly leaned in, pressing his lips to hers gently. He drew back a hair's breadth. "Remember me, while I am away, wife."
42. ...out of pride.
The crown of fall flowers with its yellow and blue ribbons rested upon her head, heavy with the expectations of the thousands of onlookers staring at her where she stood on the parapet. Wind whipped at her golden curls and the ribbons, mingling them in a maelstrom of color.
Kneeling before her, Heinrix took her hand in his and kissed the knuckles. Then he stood, his helmet under his arm, and took her chin between his armored fingers. Before all of King Basile's court, the Champion of the Harvestend Tournament kissed the woman he had crowned the Queen of Peace.

How bout Heinrix and Aurelia for the kiss out of lust?
#44: ...kiss out of lust.
It meant nothing.
These... feelings, these sensations, meant nothing.
The heat and the stiffness he felt in his trousers at the sight of her in the sunrise pink gown, her golden hair piled atop her head like a corona was natural. Biological, even. A product of visual stimulation. She was a beautiful woman.
And he had innocent intentions. Virtuous intentions. Just one moment alone. Just one word of warning to the Lord Captain. No one could have faulted him for his concern for her safety.
But one moment turned into two, one word turned into many, and, drunk on the proximity, his gloved hands had wrapped around the bare skin of her shoulders and pressed her against the shadowy alcove.
It had been a long time since he'd the pleasure to truly behold a beautiful woman up close; feel the rapid puff of her breath against his mouth, the grasping of her fingers against his cloak as she held fast to him, like he was the anchor to her drifting ship in a storm. But did she know she was the sun and he was locked in her orbit?
"Heinrix," she whispered. Her grey eyes were shadowed, but he could see the glitter of desire in them.
Celestial bodies collided with more grace but less heat than the meeting of their lips in that hushed space, away from the prying eyes of her courtiers. Beauty tasted like the tang of wine and the remnants of vanilla custard, stolen mouthfuls between politicking and dancing. Home felt like scrubbed and powdered skin, warmed from the muggy palace air, and the scrape of silk and chiffon against his leg. And heaven was the soft gasp as he ground himself against her.
She pulled him forward, their chests pressed together as they caught their breath. He watched her wince as something dug into the delicate skin, a red mark left behind from the edge of something sharp scraping against it.
His rosette.
He'd tasted the mana of life for a single moment and forgotten his own name.
Heinrix took a step back, a hand raised to her chest. A pretext, really. He did not need to touch the wound to heal it. Creamy skin was whole once more. But he evaded her touch when she reached out for him once more, grasping her fingers and placing a kiss to the back of her knuckles.
Another time, he lied.
He had a larger duty; bigger concerns than just this woman. Many suns burned in the Koronus Expanse, and each of them he had to attend to with care in the name of the Imperium of Man, though none would burn so brightly as Aurelia von Valancius to him.

Sneaky Peek - Chapter 6: My Knight So Daring
A sharp bark of static came from somewhere beneath the creature’s oversized hood. A warning to stop, perhaps. Or a greeting, though unlikely. Aurelia did not speak the language and there was no one there inclined to translate.
Aurelia was about to respond, when she heard a familiar set of footsteps coming from the northern wing. She leaned over the railing, spying Heinrix, barefoot and shrugging into a stained linen shirt that he was struggling to button as he walked. He gave a disdainful sniff, though it did not stop the trail of dark liquid running from his nose.
At his arrival, all of the techpriests turned and trilled something in a sweet harmony. One priest, stooped and bowed and leaning heavily against a staff, slowly approached Heinrix. A reedy, paper-thin voice came from beneath the priest’s robes, “It is an urgent matter.”
“I know,” said Heinrix, giving up on the buttons and leaving his shirt open at the chest. “I can feel it, too.” Aurelia noted his fingertips - and his buttons - were stained, too.
“You must come quickly,” the techpriest urged.
“What’s the matter?” Aurelia asked, trying to get a better look at Heinrix past the hulking form in front of her.
“Back to bed with you, wife,” Heinrix said, not even bothering to look over his shoulder and address her, before he strode out into the rain and the dark night just beyond.
