I thought I'd take a look at Ferrus's Primarch book and my goodness. I know I tend to exaggerate in these posts for comic effect but I can honestly say the Fulgrim/Ferrus tag on AO3 has less overt shipping content than this canon novel.
I've been a bit of a dick with the first screenshot because its context is Ferrus thinking about how defeat is a more effective teacher than victory but... I mean, come on. "Not even my bestie Fulgrim knows about my craving to be beaten," good lord. Is this deliberate? Are they messing with us? Madness.

Hello, Black Library? Yeah, someone accidentally copypasted the summary for their 300,000 word Ferrgrim fic into your book.
Not even Fulgrim thinks this much about how great Fulgrim is. I mean what's he gonna do next, look at a III Legion marine and think about all the Fulgrim-like traits he has?
Oh for fuck's sake. Well surely other people won't start playing into it as well.
At this point it would be less overt for GW to release a model of them getting married with Ancient Rylanor officiating. Anyway later on Fulgrim himself actually turns up.
That's actually quite funny, in fairness.
And then we get a "we saw you from across the bar and we really dig your autistic vibe" moment just to round things off.
Statuesque, really? Of all the adjectives.
So, in summary, I went in expecting to take a few things out of context for a cheap laugh but I reckoned without Ferrus's own genuinely unstoppable need to think about Fulgrim at every possible opportunity.
