History Fanfic / TalesOfTheEmperasque

* AbortedArc: Corana was introduced to exploit a /tg/ joke that claims Leman Russ was mutated by Warp into Hulu from ''Anime/SpiceAndWolf''. She was supposed to be mutated!Leman and her and canon!Leman's meeting would set stage for some wacky hijinks. Later, though, Someone Else decided the idea to be stupid and Corana was turned into reborn Sister of Silence. She's promptly forgotten about after Leman leaves Cadia.

* GondorCallsForAid: The Emperasque, knowing that Imperial medical technology can't heal [[spoiler:Roboute Guilliman's neck wound]], brings him to Ulthwé to have the Craftworld's healers work on him. The idea is toyed with, however, as Ulthwé wouldn't have even considered it if they [[spoiler:didn't owe the Emperor twice over, for the rescues of Isha and Eldrad]].

** [[Franchise/StarWars "“I WOULD MAKE A SCUM AND VILLAINY JOKE IF ANYONE ALIVE TODAY WOULD GET IT."]]

* BrickJoke: When the Emperor appears in the Lords of Terra's room for the first time, he accidentally crushes the legs of Chartist Captain. The Fabricator General promises to give the man rocket knees. Fast forward something like twenty chapters and the Chartist Captain nearly crashes into waiting officials, unable to control his new rocket knees.

** All of [[spoiler:the loyal Primarchs]] who are dead or out of commission in canon!40K are brought back in various ways.

* BashBrothers: [[spoiler:The Primarchs]], naturally.

* XanatosGambit: The Emperor didn't want ''any'' of the forces he was attacking during the final scenes of ''Shopping Trip'' to actually lose outright. He just wanted them fighting each other. If it had backfired, though, it would have gotten very, very bad for the Imperium.

* UnreliableIllustrator: Most FanArt depicts the Emperasque as a Tarrasque wearing a giant version of the Emperor's iconic golden Terminator armor, but He isn't actually wearing anything in this form (at least, in the few days that follow His return). This is mostly due to RuleOfCool.

** The Emperasque severely dresses down the Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens for their suspicious actions, binding him to the Deathwatch. The Emperor knew that to waste Gabriel's talents by just killing him would be gruesome profligacy. The mission that Gabriel undertakes will be chronicled in ''Tales of the Emperasque 3''. [[spoiler:Tentatively entitled: How I Learned to Stop Living and Become a Necron]]

* SpaceAmish: After the Eldar/Imperial negotiations are wrapped up, Isha retires to an Exodite world. Per WordOfGod, her adventures there will feature in ''Tales of the Emperasque [[spoiler:4: High Plains Matron]]''.

* UnreliableIllustrator: Most FanArt depicts the Emperasque as a Tarrasque wearing a giant version of the Emperor's iconic golden power armor, but He isn't actually wearing anything in this form (at least, in the few days that follow His return). This is mostly due to RuleOfCool.

** [[invoked]]Several pieces of /tg/ fanon are included, including the relationship between [[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Taldeer]] and [[ColdSniper LIVII]] from ''Love Can Bloom'', their [[HalfHumanHybrid daughter]] Lofn, references to the Pretty Marines and the Blood Ravens' kleptomania, and [[spoiler:Faptau]].

The story consists of two complete sections: ''Rise of the Emperasque'' and ''Vulkan's Shopping Trip''. Two more sections had been planned, tentatively titled ''How I Learned To Stop Living and Love The Necron'' and ''High Plains Matron''. However, the series was canceled when Someone else. attempted to continue and found that he could no longer write in that style.

--> '''KNOCK KNOCK MOTHERFUCKER, WHO ORDERED A BEATING?!'''

* BreathWeapon: The Emperor in his new body has a powerful roar that can knock over a PhysicalGod and cause small-scale apocalypse. It's probably some combination of his psyker powers and Tarrasque's native abilities.
* BrickJoke: When Emperor appears in Lords of Terra's room for the first time, he accidentally crushes the legs of Chartist Captain and Fabricator General promises to give the man rocket knees. Fast forward something like twenty chapters and the Chartist Captain nearly crashes into waiting officials, unable to control his new rocket knees.

** [[spoiler:Corax and Guilliman versus Evil Fulgrim.]]

** [[spoiler:Lion and Russ]] go for each other's throats as soon as the room is clear.

* CurbStompBattle: Pretty much any fight the Emperasque gets personally involved in. That being said...
** NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Per WordOfGod, any of the Chaos Gods would easily defeat the Emperasque in a head-on fight.

* DrivenToMadness: Ten thousand years Corvus spent in Fulgrim's everchanging labyrinth has driven him insane to the point of his MadnessMantra turning into a string of unrelated words.

* NotAMorningPerson: Lion El'Jonson has slept for ten thousand years. During his first meeting with his chapter, a few minutes after waking up, he's rather grumpy and appears to have the biggest headache in millenniums.

* PoorCommunicationKills: The Emperor decides to take the fight directly to the Tyranids... forgetting that the "friendly" Imperial forces ''might'' not have heard the news that he's back, and in the body of something that is on par with a Greater Daemon in terms of power and strength, meaning that not only do they begin shooting at ''him'' once the 'Nids are gone, they then try to drop a ''nuclear warhead'' on him. They apologize sincerely once they understand their mistake.

* SpaceAmish: After the Eldar/Imperial negotiations are wrapped up, Isha retires to an Exodite world. Per WordOfGod, her adventures there will feature in ''Tales of the Emperasque [[spoiler:3: High Plains Matron]]''.
* StopWorshippingMe: So far, the Emperor lets it slide that people keep on worshipping him, but he has little patience to those who kneel and bow to him like he's a god made manifest.

* AwwLookTheReallyDoLoveEachOther: More of a 'brotherly love' example, but we're treated to the sight of Russ first badmouthing Guilliman and calling him a bastard, only to hug him and be absolutely overjoyed when Roboute appears a few seconds later.

* SpaceAmish: After the Eldar/Imperial negotiations are wrapped up, Isha retires to an Exodite world. Per WordOfGod, her adventures there will feature in ''Tales of the Emperasque [[spoiler:4: High Plains Matron]]''.
