Summary
“Is there any part of your body that is not perfect?” She asked, her fingers trailing from his scalp down to his face, and her thumb finding its way to rest beneath his chiselled jawline.
“I could ask the same of you,” he replied with a sly smirk, voice weighted with reverence and depth: touches tender and almost… devout.
As for him, the monster hiding under her bed (or, hiding under the face of her lover in this moment), who knew what he thought of her?
But in this fleeting moment, she felt… loved. She felt seen. And so she closed her eyes and continued the fairytale.

Since their first night together, Tav and the Emperor have fallen into a routine together. Perhaps it is genuine lust for the being who was only conjured to seduce and tempt her, or perhaps she has fallen in genuine love with the beast beneath. But for now, at least, Tav has been summoned back into the Astral Prism, that her protector might pay his toll for her loyalty and subservience.
Too bad for Tav that she was always a sucker for a man in armour…
(Spoilers for Act III)

Summary
"It seemed this chamber was where he spent all his time now. Away from the pitiful looks of the public, away from the prying eyes of soldiers and servants alike. The solitude of his chamber was a curtain he could drape himself behind; pretend, in between fits of coughing and straight black outs of consciousness, that he was important still; that he was a God among men still; that xeno star slime still trembled at the mention of his name."

After coming close to death, the Luminary was entombed on a cumbersome life-sustaining apparatus in the council chambers. Humanity celebrated that they would not lose their shepherd and that he would command them still; that he would guide humanity until the last human drew their breath. The media and the public were overjoyed.
They didn't know the true story of the Luminary's imprisonment.
