Dear Graham McNeill,
You love Space Marines? I do too! That's totally awesome! I'm right with you on the idea that Space Marines have individual thoughts and personalities, and while they're generally very loyal to the Emperor and by-the-book, there's a lot of leeway, and I appreciate Idaeus and then Uriel understanding that the Codex Astartes is a book of guidelines and not strict doctrine (something you mention when Guilliman himself is writing the Codex during the Horus Heresy) and that individual courage is an important part of being a Space Marine.
But there's one thing I'd like to note:
[Uriel's] eyes were the colour of storm clouds, dark and threatening, his face serious.
Let's repeat that.
His eyes were the colour of storm clouds
I'm pretty sure that's the kind of description one expects from romance novels and not... Space Marine novels. It's not that I don't thoroughly approve of homolust for Guilliman, but... yeah.
Cheers,
IT, who also homolusts for Guilliman.
"Acacia's a woman. You can't homolust for Guilliman any more. It's het lust."
"I'm a Space Marine, you can't take away my right to homolust after Guilliman."
PS, I wanted to write Guilliman/Dorn h/c fic. I'm not precisely sure what I'm writing now, but it's... something.
