Vows over Amasec by athousandwaystokilladevil

Summary
Runa von Valancius is the latest Lord Captain at the end of a long line of Rogue Traders representing House von Valancius. Unceremoniously thrust into the impossible responsibility of leading the infamous dynasty, the former leader of an outlaw gang of smugglers almost has her work cut out for her. Pressing forward into her new life, the friendly, affable voidborn woman tries her hardest to leave behind the scars of a very turbulent past, learning to balance the horrors alongside the endless bureaucracy of her new responsibilities. Just as she starts to believe that she's making progress, she's abducted and almost dies in the pits of Commorragh, finding unexpected solace in the arms of her Interrogator — who is fighting his own struggle between his enormous, immutable duty to the Golden Throne, and his emergent affections for Runa.
Cue obligations of duty, moral dilemmas, PTSD nightmares, banter, and sex.
Post-Commorragh, sometimes canon, mostly not. Inspired by the spectacular writing of this excellent game.
Author's Note: If you've been here before, you'll see that the format's changed. I've broken down the once-enormous chapters into more reasonable sizes for accessibility!

Summary
Heinrix and Runa haven't spoken since their most recent argument, which devolved into unexpected intimacy three standard weeks ago. After he accuses her of cheating at regicide, she extends an invitation to him — and the pair find a middle ground over the board.
And then, that oh-so-fragile middle ground dissolves, once again, into something entirely inappropriate.

Summary
Aboard the Rogue Trader's voidship on official Ordo business, Heinrix van Calox finds himself at the ever-infuriating mercy of ex-pirate smuggler Runa von Valancius. After seemingly endless months of constant bickering, persistent spying, and two very real threats of disposing of the Interrogator through an airlock, Heinrix finally snaps — leading them both into a precarious position from which there is no return.

Wild Light, Broken Free by infernaldaydreams, nadasdirthalen

Summary
When Castilla von Valancius disappears somewhere in the Atlas Reach star system, Calligos Winterscale's world is split into before and after. Before she vanishes, in the months after her Magnae Accessio, she breaks the bounds of the possible and captures his interest, his curiosity.
After she is reported missing, Calligos realizes she claimed so much more of him than that—and he will tear the Koronus Expanse apart to recover what he has lost.
(Dual timeline means double the yearning and double the angst, right?)
[ Castilla von Valancius by the ever-brilliant InfernalDaydreams ; prose by NadasDirthalen. <3 ]

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.info/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
Lavinia, a voidborn sanctioned psyker whose past was erased by loss and sacrifice, is the sole heir to Rogue Trader Theodora von Valancius. Amidst the unrelenting vastness of the void, she crosses paths with the Ordo Xenos Interrogator Heinrix van Calox—a man bound, like her, to the curse of the warp. Drawn to each other by their shared burdens, their lives spiral into each other’s orbit, inescapably and irrevocably entwined.
Lavinia von Valancius background is Voidborn, Sanctioned Psyker (Telekinesis), Illustrious Glory and Shadow of Torment, playing an Iconoclast run. Most of the chapters will be focused on Heinrix POV, though.

Summary
Heinrix sighed through his teeth. “Again, what I wish is not relevant—”
Abelard cleared his throat from the doorway. “Master van Calox? Would your duty allow…” he faltered.
Heinrix looked at the Seneschal. “Speak.”
“Would your duty allow you to perform this under duress? I can speak for myself and my people that no one would doubt your devotion considering all she has done for us, as well as for the Inquisition, but if that is not enough…”
Marazhai broke into laughter so intense he was almost crying.
Heinrix pinched the bridge of his nose. “Sorry, are you. Offering to threaten me?”
“If it would help.”
“And if it would not?”
Abelard rested a hand on the hilt of his chainsword. “I would no longer be asking.”
