Summary
In the Grim Darkness of the far future there is only Regret.
Sister Marianne, veteran of Armageddon III, heroine of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, is commanded by the Inquisition to infiltrate a squad responsible for the loss of an ancient artefact holy to the Adepta Sororitas. She alone must determine whether the squad under Sister Superior Héloïse, on a mission of retrieval and redemption, have been tainted by the powers of heresy and chaos, or divinely inspired by the God-Emperor Himself.
This is the POALOF / Warhammer 40k crossover that the world definitely never asked for. There is not much scope for fluff in the forty-first millennium as a rule, but I shall do my very best.
I shall also do my very best to update weekly.
But no promises on either.
Ave Imperator.

Summary
“Maybe loyalty is a kind of patience. Like hope. A holding pattern for the heart, while we wait for change.”
Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

Summary
"I did this.
As Thelma collapsed sideways onto the concrete, onto the damp grass, and Anja took her head in her hands in the pale puddle of light as she was shaking and gasping, stroked her face and her back as the air came back in panting lumps, the terrible thought still held her frozen.
Oh shit, I did this.
I did this to her.
Shit."The story of Thelma from Anja's perspective.

Héloïse is a tennis player. Marianne is a chair umpire. Probably wildly inaccurate.

A Thread to Follow: the audiobook
Eight years later.
"To bid goodbye, is to say, ‘I must put you into God’s hands, since I can no longer hold you in mine.’ A goodbye is a capitulation to forces bigger, stronger than ourselves, than our wills, our desires. It is a surrender, of someone dear, to the questionable mercies of the world. One quite literally gives them up.” She sipped at her wine. “Goodbyes are shattering, and devastating, and holy. And life is full of them. Do not try to make them easy. Far better to make them worthwhile."
