We can hit on our Infernus Master! THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Charles Vane IN SPACE Einrich Monteg is a firefighter and he likes trains. What's not to love?

[holylustration]

So, who else is ready for the Einrich Monteg fics? Just me?

The Infernus Master has an uncanny ability to be one of the first on the scene every time something goes wrong and the Rogue Trader is in danger. Heinrix isn't pleased. Jae thinks there's a perfectly reasonable explanation. Cassia also has input.

ok, think i've finished all of the act 2 genestealer quests (or at least the nemesite one)

thank fuck for chekov's fiddle player

also, i think it's a little ingenious to set it up that you might suspect einrich of being nemesite, or involved with the cult in some capacity. he's basically the only officer who's primarily iconoclast and yeah, being kind and helpful in a non-suspicious way is actually super suspicious in the imperium. hell, vladaym even says as much to the rt when you deliver the food to footfall with zero strings attached. recreating how every other character feels when an iconoclast rt comes along was a surprise, but a damn excellent one.

it also means that i get to take einrich jumping to the rt's defence when they're insulted (behind their back, even!) at face value, which is fantastic. i am falling back into my hopeless heinrix-romancing ways, but i really do hope there's more stuff with einrich later on. possibly even more flirting. kibellah is an excellent character and an absolute menace in combat, but einrich has really been the surprise highlight of this dlc for me.

speaking of kibellah, i've been slightly spoiled (willingly) over her endings and i'm now seriously torn. i won't spoil them here, but rogue trader as a game is very good at making sure you can't get all the happy endings you want to and that seems to have repeated here. which is great and very tonally consistent for 40k but damn it, i just want her to be happy.

loving void shadows, but as of the most recent genestealer quest (the crypt-chapel back and forth in act 2), i have One Fear

please don't let einrich be nemesite. he's such a lovely character, especially if you're playing as an iconoclast, and i will literally be heartbroken if i have to kill him because he's a fucking genestealer.

the whole "passion for justice, the indomitable flame of a fighter, and unyielding determination" description really scream of einrich, not to mention how he's slightly awkwardly sliding into all of the related quests. plus adalbert says that nemesite is willing to do anything for his ideals, and einrich threatened to fucking vent plasma engines into a room he was standing into to threaten the nemesite supporters. which yknow, is quite out of character for him (unless you see it as him being protective/into the rogue trader as they just got insulted), but it also helps solidify the crew's view that the captain is some evil tyrant and leads to everything escalating so kibellah kills them all.

plus einrich clearly dislikes how kibellah gets away with murdering random crew (even enforcers)

so, yeah. as someone who is deeply intrigued by einrich's general character and who has deeply enjoyed the flirt options with him so far, i'm gonna be heartbroken if i have to kill him. he's been a nice iconoclast contrast to jocasta's very-close-to-slaneeshi-heresy, though being nemesite would check out because what other options does an iconoclast have as the infernus master instead of as the rogue trader?

but my poor rt is going to take it really hard if he is. she's a psyker who originally grew up orphaned and dirt poor the lower levels of her hiveworld, so einrich and idira are like the only two people who aren't either insane or elitist nobles as far as she's concerned (despite romancing heinrix, lol). and einrich clearly cares for the crew and especially orphans and he clearly either dislikes or feels nervous around enforcers, so he's basically the most relatable and normal person to her on the ship by a quintillion miles.

This is now an Einrich Monteg thirst blog

[harrenhalyuri]

also i have to say einrich monteg is absolutely my new favorite minor npc AND if mortred's canon wasn't pretty solidified by now he'd be my choice for endgame 👍

that said since i'm playing with zero spoilers i have a horrible feeling that einrich will either betray me or something terrible will happen to him until the dlc's end

Kunrad Voigtvir got his wish. Having succeeded in taking over the Voidtreader in the wake of Theodora von Valancius' death, he plays the role of the dutiful Rogue Trader, while biding his time and waiting for his allies to be ready. But he made one error.

He left another heir alive.

Meliana Lamb, saved by the soon-to-be Infernus Master, Einrich Monteg, has been spirited away to the middle and lower decks, where she becomes the central figure of a plot for revenge and rebellion. There, she tries to gather as many people to her side, regardless of station, until she can finally bring Voigtvir to the only kind of justice the Koronus Expanse has - the bloody kind.

If anyone's curious about what I've been up to, this is it. If you're interested in Rogue Trader, then please feel free to take a look. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be back to lewding primarchs soon enough, too.

New Fic: Fire in the Blood

Wouldn't it be nice to have a bath with your Infernus Master?

No spoilers, just a little light smut.

[holylustration]

The edits continue, so have a snippet...

Predator & Prey's penultimate chapter's edits are a little unwieldy, as my mind keeps racing to add new tidbits to it. Still, I think it is coming together quite nicely.

But in the meantime, because my inbox is getting some traffic about My Knight So Daring, just know I haven't forgotten! In fact... I have a little treat as a show of good faith (especially for those of you asking about more Infernus Master :devil:)!

“Need a hand there, miss?” 

She turned, a wary gray eye half-shaded by the veil of the fascinator pinned atop golden curls spotted the figure she’d missed when she’d first entered the stables. Tall, perhaps a little taller than her husband, and just as broad, was leaning against a post. She saw flickering ember of his lho stick in the reflection of his eyes, cast in the shadow of the barn. Slowly, the figure leaned forward, and she saw the coarse pattern of stubble on his jaw and the weathered brow set with deep lines. He didn’t look like a stablehand, more like some worker pulled off the machine line, for two fingers were replaced with augments and he had splotches of grease on his loose shirt.

“I can manage on my own,” Aurelia replied. Somewhere, there had to be a ladder and a post. How else were ladies and their voluminous skirts supposed to mount their faithful steeds? “But thank you.”

“I see.” Around the lho stick, the man’s lips curved into a smile. His eyes followed suit, warm in their regard.  “Not Guisornian, then?” 

“Is my accent that obvious?”

“Maybe a little.” The hay crunched under a soiled leather workboot as he moved. The metal toe caps caught the faint reflection of the sun filtering in through one of the skyholes. “More like you haven’t already ordered me about.” 

As he spoke, Aurelia thought she heard the slightest familiarity in accent - the rhotic touch to his words, not unlike her own. A curious thing; she filed it away, not daring in that moment to give in to the sudden homesickness. “I like my independence.”

He chuckled. “I can tell.” He plucked the lho stick from his lips and gazed towards the paddock gate, where a few horses were grazing out of troughs and stretching their legs. “Just shout if you need me.” He glanced at her from the corner of his eye; it traveled along her from head to toe. “Shame for that dress to get covered in hay.” 

A faint heat crept up her cheeks. He likely hadn’t meant it in that way, the way in which men and women might roll in the hay. Many were the stories of scandal of trysts with stablehands. And Aurelia was beginning to see why, if they all had strong hands, dark hair, and smile lines. She nodded. “I will.”

Aurelia listened to the retreating sound of his footsteps and the creak of the gate before turning her attention back to the task at hand: determining which of these stabled horses belonged to the de Gauvain family.

omw to romance marazhai again now that my hopes of romancing einrich monteg have been dashed

[holylustration]

Okay, I did it.

A little light smut. It needs editing. Perhaps tomorrow!

So, who else is ready for the Einrich Monteg fics? Just me?
