"He fell down, and saw Mathieu and the cauldron disappear behind a wall of shocking luminance. For a moment he thought he saw a golden giant bringing down a flaming sword onto the cauldron, his eyes full of sorrow, yet his face determined..."

Real question: should we send a social worker around to Nurgle’s house to do a wellness check on Mortarion?

Spoilers for Godblight

“‘You are a traitor,’ Guilliman said, in a voice that was not quite his own. ‘You have brought low all that could have been, but you are as much a victim as a monster, Mortarion. Perhaps one day you might be saved. Until then, you must go back to the master you chose.’

‘No!’ Mortarion cried, but it was too late. Some force reached for him, and yanked hard. He flew back, over and over through the garden, towards the black house of the Plague God. He felt a moment of perfect terror before he flew in through the open portal, and it slammed shut behind him, trapping him with an altogether more awful god.

Nurgle was displeased.”

‘There are two options when faced with battle,’ Hetidor had said, probably spitting down in Fabian’s face after he’d thrown him to the gymnasia mat for the hundredth time. ‘You can run, or you can fight. But there is only ever one outcome. Either way, one day you will die. Cowardice might spare you awhile, but time will not, and old men serve the Emperor badly in a fight.’

Hetidor had reached down, grasped his hand, and pulled him to his feet. In Fabian’s dazed state, it was as if he now reached out of the past and dragged him towards the enemy. He reacted automatically. His pistol was in one hand, his drawn sword in the other, field buzzing in the sooty air. He strode past the soldier, who was kneeling and snapping off bright blue beams of las-fire down the corridor. Fabian raised his pistol and waited for a clear target.

Man, I'm reading the Dark Imperium trilogy rn and wow I gotta say it's really making me like Guilliman

Also specifically the part in Godblight where he discusses the nature of Gods with an Aeldari farseer and a Grey Knight is giving me a fun fic idea for a God AU in which Guilliman does become something more divine and then also because of warp time shenanigans is able to give visions to his past self (or maybe Lorgar's past self?) and therefore try to avoid the Heresy (or at least avoid the traitors outright falling to chaos). Especially since there's a section a little later where he's mournful of the fact his brothers fell to chaos even if they didn't get on well beforehand.
