Summary
A genius from the Dark Age of Technology gets teleported to 30k and fixes all sorts of shenanigans through the power of SCIENCE. Lots of techno gibberish. Not only science fiction but also fictional science. You have been warned.
I don't know if this counts as AU but there are some canon-divergent background settings and timeline alterations. There is some romance but it's mostly not about romance. -

Summary
The Emperor has Malcador. Guilliman needs one too.
Story is about a Malcador-level-smart woman helping Guilliman rebuild the Imperium. Mostly a fantasy about competent governance without downplaying (too much) of the canon grimdark. No idea if anyone else likes this but I need to get it out of my system.
Note that I have not played the tabletop game and I have not read all of the novels.All mistakes belong to the Lexicanum.I'll try my best. -

Summary
Khârn was her brother, and she would stand by him come what may. So she stood by him as everything fell apart, as the galaxy burned, as the stars shattered. She still had not learned her lesson, but now she got to try again.
In other words: someone who lived through the Great Crusade alongside the World Eaters and the subsequent 10k years of clusterfuck gets to rewind time and meets pre-nail Angron. Lots of sadness. Lots of healing moments too. I write this when I want to make myself feel sad. -

Summary
Heavily inspired by the Secret Level episode and Astartes. Titus and a psyker-in-a-box, except the psyker also turns out OP because all my protagonists must be OP.
Also inspired by Loricatus Flagro which is an awesome fic you should all go read it.

Summary
With each year the Indomitus Crusade progresses, the Chaos Gods grow more and more annoyed as Roboute Guilliman continuously interferes with their plans and powers. But they know killing him will be too difficult and costly; the Corpse Emperor of Mankind protects his tool well. So, instead, they lay a trap and cast the nuisance 13th Primarch into an alternate timeline.
AKA, that time when 30k and 40k Roboute Guilliman swap places.

Summary
The Emperor is thrown back in time to before the primarchs were scattered, and has a second chance to try to make things right, both for humanity and for his family, one he does not intend to waste. However, this timeline is not quite the same as the original, nor is he the only one who has lived through the future.
