Summary
What if I wrote a Rogue Trader story that wasn't all about the Rogue Trader?
Post-game events, old and new characters, multiple POV.This work is a sequel to "All Things To All People" which you can read at the link below - but you should be able to follow along fine without it! Expect the sequel to reach a similar size eventually. Updates are short and frequent (daily ish).
https://archiveofourown.org/works/55291558Contains DLC material and extensive author-created nonsense. Canon adherence is loose but - I hope - sincere. Imagine I'm a big hairy Space Wolf telling a saga if it helps.
Content advisory: explicit sex and violence here and there, sex chapters are skippable, you'll see content warnings in all the chapter summaries. This fic has trans and gender diverse characters (including most of the AdMechs).

Summary
On an isolated, terraformed planet the buildings are so tall they fall outside the bounds of the artificial air generators, forcing them to have their own supply. Both dark magic and high tech equipment are used equally, employed to create the ultimate weapons which they then sell off and ship to civil wars on other planets. Cursed items, surgery, medicine, and occasional gender reassignment are utilized to create their highest former human output:
Hound-Servos.
Many of them are kept throughout the unnamed planet as a number of things, essentially replacing the other planets' cores of automatons — servants, pets, sex toys, companions with implanted personalities, and of course assassins disguised as 'another hound gone rogue'. Many people advocate for stricter control of who can own, sell, and produce Hound-Servos, but it simply too profitable, and the law of the planet is nearly nonexistent after being bribed into inactivity. I'll be writing whatever stories appeal to me most in the setting first.

Summary
Once upon a time, on a certain dark planet called Surcease live the Kaedekin.
Clones of a single magical girl, the Kaedekin have spent the last several hundred years building up from a single crashed ship and three thousand survivors into a planet-spanning civilization. It's been difficult. The life native to the planet is inedible, the heavy metal content of everything makes everything very complicated, the perpetual darkness blocking out the visible light of the nearby star makes everything very complicated, and the random kaiju created by the mutagenic void energies coming from certain spots on the planet make everything very... you get the idea.
Oh, and every year the chance that they'll finally make first contact with one of the many space-faring polities in that galaxy that they've been listening to increases.
Mahou Legacy Kuronu Uchuu Story is about to begin…!

She is taken on a Tuesday. She is rescued — if that's the word — by the most wanted crew in the galaxy on a Wednesday. By Thursday she has filed every single one of them under unexpected and is running out of shelf space.
Velandra has been performing her entire life. Stages in fourteen systems, a father who schedules her like an asset, a face the galaxy knows and a self she keeps somewhere no one can reach. She is very good at this. She has been doing it since she was seven.
Bang Chan doesn't ask her to perform. That's the problem. That's the whole problem.
He's half-human in a galaxy that punished him for it. He's hidden his face for years. He opened a door on Auryn when his crew said leave it — and she has been trying to figure out why ever since, because the answer matters and she doesn't want it to.
She said she wasn't afraid. She meant it.She didn't expect to mean something else entirely by the end.
Found family. Slow burn. A sci-fi universe with a planet no one else knows exists. Book One of Three.
