Description:

"like angels that have monster eyes,
over your bedside i shall rise,
gliding towards you silently
across night's black immensity.
o darksome beauty, you shall swoon
at kisses colder than the moon
and fondlings like a snake who coils
sinuous round the grave he soils.

when livid morning breaks apace,
you shall find but an empty place,
cold until night, and bleak, and drear:
as others do by tenderness
so would i rule your youthfulness
by harsh immensities of fear."
--"le revenant" by charles baudelaire (translation by jacques leclercq)

all the old myths and legends of terra say that the love of a god is the worst thing that can happen to a person.

horus heresy-era fulgrim/reader. disastrous horror-romance. messy to non-existent consent, corruption, and eventual terato.
