Then coming down via drop pod, Horus Heresy sees the situation. Quaking in his large ceramite boots, proclaiming that "there will be no more heresy," while weeping. The Emperor hearing that his favorite son, "Horus Heresy 30k Age of Darkness," has lost, he quickly arrives on the planet. He sees the situation around him and does a backflip splitting the planets crust in one blow, proceeds to say "gracias" in a southern accent and proceeds to fuck off saying all part of the plan. Thus saving the entirety of Warhammer 40k.
I now see, why a Necron may create something like a Necron Pariah. They are their emotional support puppy. Only that Necrons have a way to keep their beloved pet from dying. Wasn't there more "Hybrids"? I mean, there were the pariahs, but those were specifically blanks. I distinctly remember either reading or watching a Video when I freshly got into 40k, where it mentioned, that sometimes Necrons created Hybrids, that were not fully Necron, which they used as diplomats.
Because that would make the xenos too human and relatable, eating into marine shares. Heck, the Tau actually have large numbers of human, even in their military, but there's not a human auxiliary line of minis for them. So of course the Necrons won't get human friends beyond offhand mentions in a book here and there.
@@aawallace98 Basically a librarian helping him do research on the planet's history and culture, right? I recall hearing about that. Or is this a different case?
i mean what else are you supposed to do after 3,4 maybe 5 Million years? for some those are the first Kids they have seen in 2-3 million years ....some later converted Necrontyr might have never seen such creatures at all.... so it does not surprise me that they are curious

Humans: "Soon the astartes will be here, they'll burn and kill and destroy everything... 😥" Necron lady: ......"Bothersome😒. " (remotely activates monoliths)
@@LemonRush7777 Probably not as much as you'd think. Ask him about "The Play". Necron 'art' sucks the eye out of the terror. And that's just one example of the problems of being soulless.
There was an interesting idea in the Twice Dead King: Ruin when I read it. That a lot of (sentient) necrons are seconds away from a breakdown. They can never dwell on their current nature or they will find themselves trying to draw breath with lungs they don't have, panic that their heart isn't beating and that their skin is gone. Sounds like a rather dreadful existence. Oh and also another funny one was that necron nobles retain their titles from life so one guy was called the 'Grainmaster' and his warriors had grain symbols etched onto them which was rather ironic.
good news, i researched about the date said in the video, 850.M30 terra calendar. According to wh40k lexicanum in 854.M30 they found mortarion and Horus heresy started in 105.M31. there is a 155 year difference. So horus is probably coming for the planet, joining it with the imperium. With 155 years until the heresy This family probably died from old age peacefully.
The Grimdark is that the unlikely peace this world found by living with a Necron will be disrupted by the Emperor's Angles who will more than likely purge the entire planet for Heresy.
An-nakhrimun: "These are my humans, I only had the little one for only a day and a half, but if anything would to happen to them I will exterminate your whole planet and and then myself."
As wholesome and heart-warming as this is, it also highlights the underlying tragedy. Despite being virtually immortal and master over a legion of hyper-advanced soldiers...this Necron noblewoman desires the simple yet transcendantal feeling of maternal instincts once again. To hold and nurture newborn life so full of innocence and potential. Holding the infant gives her that spark of that feeling, and even in it's diminished state it's just as precious as the child. Yet it also a reminder that she nor any Necron can produce offspring such as this. No Necrontyr children will ever be born again from loving Necrontyr parents. Yet that is no fault of this child or the nearby parents. Thus she'd rather focus on the spark of joy in her cold, metallic arms. To give to this family what she can no longer have to draw that spark out more, than wallow in cold darkness.
That’s why the ultimate ambition of the Necrons is to return to living bodies, with humans being decidedly the best template for them. But before they can do so they want to make the galaxy safe for their future flesh selfs, and many have grown mad and forgotten this dream across millions of years.
Me: "This is so wholesome, I hope she gets to-" Narrator: "And the 16th legion of power armored genetic soldiers, serving the self-proclaimed Emperor of Mankind, will be arriving into the system in less than a year" Me: "FFFFFFUCKING HORUS!"
I mean, at least this time the xenos are Necrons. The Legion is probably going to get fucked, come back with a vengeance, and wonder where the fuck the planet went.
This gave me an idea. How wholesome would it be if that the necron mom just hung around and protected the same family generation after generation just always being there as a scary but wise aunt.
@@ham_the_spam4423 So is this ship, like, a shuttle, or is it some kind of robot assault fleet carrier containing 50,000 robot soldiers and their heavy fighting vehicles? They can dig it out.
"What is it?" "A baby" "What does it do?" "Grows old." "Fascinating. Should help pass a few decades and stave off the madness a bit." (Decades later) "...How strange. For such an otherwise insignificant span of time in immortality to simultaneously feel fulfilling and nowhere near long enough."

I'd like to imagine there's a Necron Phaeron out there who just keeps humans on his planet as pets. Like an ant colony he keeps around as a curiosity. Not a cruel overlord, or a benevolent ruler, but just an observer that keeps other pests from the galaxy away from his little ants, so he can watch them scurry about.
Fairly sure the storm lord and Nemesor Zandrakh both have human worlds under their control, supposedly, the population are alright with the necrons in charge as chaos has a hard time trying to invade when they build pylons to dampen the warp and the necrons just leave them alone as long as they aren’t rebelling
It might be interesting if one of the Erased Primarchs was Damnatio-Memoriae'd because he didn't saw friendly xeno as "the exception that proves the rule", but a valid option to take. After all, there is plenty of worlds where humans and xeno live in peace with each other.
I don't really know, If the Guy who Flays you for stealing a Cooky, the Guy who killed Gazillions of Civilians because of his Migraine, the Guy who used forbidden Warp Sorcery to boil his Teawater and last but by far not least, the Guy who created a Religion in a fundementalist Athiest Society were all Okay enough in the Eyes of the Emperor, I don't think that the Guy who says "Maybe Aliens Friend?" would be so much worse.
@@XaldirGodofGood Yeah, it makes more sense if the Lost Primarch was involved in the Rangdan Xenocides that was so bad Emperor had everyone's memories of it erased especially Rogal Dorn's.
@@XaldirGodofGood humanity had been ravaged by xenos during the age of strife. One or two primarchs falling to the type of beings that tormented humanity for thousands of years was probably incredibly bad for moral.
This is what I wish there would be more of, Necrons peacefully interacting with humans. This was really wholesome. But that ending... We all know what's going to happen next, especially when the 16th legion was mentioned. The wolves of Luna are coming...
They understand her significance as a symbol of tradition. Then use they knowledge to help her rebuild the ship and make her the governor, under the obvious tax demands and pray to the emperor twice a day bullshit.

Horus Lupecarn: Push giant exterminatus button.
My head canon is this necron sees the ships arriving in system and thinks "there are no military targets in this system...what could they.." and then it hits her, she panics, and ends up void rifting the planet (tomb worlds can phase in and out of realspace as long as they have been equipped with blackstone pylons)
I loved this, i can imagine a peaceful life with this weird looking robots and people interacting with them. Such mystery, but at the same time such fascination. And the tragedy at last watching the imperium arriving in the sky, BREAKS MY HEART. What a great story!!
Note this story is set 850 M30 which means Horus is still uncorrupted and loyal with command over the Luna Wolves. About half of the Primarchs have yet to be found and the Age of Darkness doesn't begin until M31. So judging by the background and humans in it their world appears to be an agri one. Thus Horus in all likelihood would achieve peaceful compliance.
@@agentc7020 The thing is the majority of Necrons were still asleep in their stasis vaults aside from a few like Trazyn and the Silent King (if he spoke the truth to Dante). Most of the imperium during this time wouldn't know of their existence nor the full scope of their power. If the talk Dante had with the Silent King is true then Sanguinius would've at least imparted the knowledge that the Necrons weren't without reason to his father or close brothers like Horus. All in all, I feel like Horus would at least try to reason with this Necron to assess its nature before outright killing it.
Small bit of 40k trivia - there's a necron unit called Triarch Praetorian. Canonically they're necron adventurers, who were tasked with educating young races in preparation for return of necrons. They're current lore explanation why necrons look like Tomb Lords ie ancient human cultures in all areas where you can find pyramids were influenced by necrons. That includes Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and Mesoamerica. Now combine it with the existence of Pariah gene. One can even wonder if our mutual hate with Eldar comes from the fact that our cultures are based on necrontyr ones so we're biased to hate one another? Plus if anything, humans during DAoT came closest to actually saving necron race. Not helping them reconquer the galaxy, but actually save them. Vohtann and Men of Iron are statements on the fact that humans were able to build sentient machines and thus, though with a lot of effort, they could have upgraded the "mute" chassis types like warrior and gave them free will. Figuring out the body and especially soul issues would have taken longer though 😅
@@brodyratliff7441 badly. Necrons haven't woken up yet so they won't be around and eldar were actively doing Dark Eldar stuff to human colonies just for fun. The whole eldar race back then acted like Dark Eldar. Exodites and Craftworld are the ones, who changed their ways. Dark Eldar are the ones, who continued as before. And all the smaller races weren't fans of humans either. You're forgetting that DAoT was peak of tech, but it was also one of the low points in human morals. It wasn't Star Trek Federation in any way, shape or form.
If I had a nickel for Everytime the sons of horus destroyed a wholesome relationship between humans and Necrons I would have 2 Nickels It's not much but it weird that it happened twice
Im just imagining a story where trazyn had taken part of a human farmworld and put it into his museum, just to observe and allow necrons to enter so they and the humans can interact with eachother, not as killers, not as enemies, not as servants to undying empires, but people, to people.
Cryptek: so we are cronolocking this planet right? Or are going for the hologram route, the pheasants can just fake being automatons, not like they got any more going upstairs.
I dont know much about Necron lore but I can see a kind hearted necron lord just kerping some humans around cuz it might remind them of when they were still flesh and live vicariously through them.
Some Necrons do keep humans around because one day they’ll become the template for their reborn live bodies, but before they do that they want to secure the galaxy for their future flesh selves, which is taking millions of years.
@@ham_the_spam4423 You see, thats the kind of thing that if this were Star Trek or whatever they'd have made negotiations with the various races and already gotten to that point but because its all "grimdark"(supposedly) they wont. This is hte kind of thing that I wish they'd actually make some sort of attempt, like with the Votan or Eldari and just TRY to make it work, even if GW just says, "nah" and makes it all go to shit.
Reminds me of this campaign idea I had where a Necron Pharon woke up to find a Feudal World had taken root on the planet and decided to just keep his armies asleep rationalizing it wasn't worth wiping out the primitives and would go to their settlements in disguise from time to time, the whole time convincing himself he couldn't care about these primitives because that would require empathy which he couldn't have without a soul, until an Ork WAGH begins attacking the planet forcing the Pharon to awaken his armies to protect the people of this planet reasoning he doesn't actually care about them but they are living on his planet therefore these humans belong to him and he's not going to let a bunch of Orks destroy his things. If the Necrons managed to win the campaign I would have had the Pharon march his armies back into their tombs and renter their slumber leaving the planet with tales of a mythic warrior king coming to save them with invincible armies from the hordes of monsters from the stars who know lays in eternal sleep until needed again so that when the Imperium arrives they just assume those stories are about the Great Crusade and the world is peacefully reabsorbed into the Imperium, becoming the recruitment world for a homebrew Iron Hands chapter I have fiddling with on and off. Unfortunately the only game store near me only really has Age of Sigmar and is an hour and a half drive so my "this will get me executed for heresy" binder will remain unused.
Another wonderful story, captured in a fleeting moment of kindness within the 40k universe, a singular grain of kindness in a desert of hostility and unending war. Bravo ;)
A Necron who is basically a old cat lady, but with entire planets as cats. She feeds, waters, entertains and unfortunately from time to time must put them down for a marinade of reasons. She treats the entire planet like her pet, changing their entire culture on a whim as if she was changing her pets clothes. The humans and xenos who live there are forced to coexist under penalty of being “groomed”.
I imagine this character interaction with other Necrons like lady Onela from game of thrones. A strong female among the upper echelons of Necrons politics, who can maneuver around the generals and kings. But the moment she sees her pets she turns into a baby talking mommy Necron.
Phaero An-nakhrimun saw the so-called "beloved son of the Emperor" She had snatches of such a being, but she was hard pressed to find such a thing as the Emperor anything short of unoriginal. However, this "Primarch" Horus did not show any signs of relent when it came to foreign species. But An-nakhrimun had planned for such an emergency. It was strange. For as many years as she had lived, she found the relatively brief time she spent with her new family had given her a sense of purpose she had lacked. In that time she had prepared for any situation that would warrant quick evacuation of the planet. It had taken time to dig up the entrance once again, and more to restore the ship, but it was ready. The main chamber had been equipped with comforts that An-nakhrimun had long since not needed. Beds, taken from their home, along with agri-chambers, already blooming with the promise of food. An-nakhrimun even put in toys, for the young one would still be young for a time. She escorted the humans into the ship, all while cheers of a people welcoming what they thought their salvation was echoed in the distant city. The start was rough, but the force of dirt was not enough to keep the ship in the ground. Finally, with a mighty heave, the ship tore free of its prison of dirt, and hurtled into the sky with the energetic desperation of a bird leaving a burning nest. The ship had left realspace before the Sons of Horus could even turn their guns. However, they did not bother to follow. Their purpose was to take planets, and they would not bother with a lone vessel leaving a world that was well in their grasp. Y:354 M:41 Field Brother Kash'vall of the Salamanders holstered his flamer in disgust, the canister depleted after what seemed like endless Tyranids falling to his flames. He drew his Sicarus pistol, ready to face the oncoming wave. Sister Westeral began her litany, petitioning the Emperor for strength. With a final nod, she was finished, and revved her chainsword, eager to bring glory to the Emperor or die trying. The first few gave easily, but the horrific being that they were, the Tryanids would not give up, nor be cowed. But from behind Kash'vall came a burst of electric green light. All before them the Tyranids and cultists crumbled to dust, as if time had become their foe. They turned to see a strange sight. The woman held a Gauss Flayer in her hands, and her helmet retracted, not so much through hinges, but as if the very metal was liquid. The armor held little in the way of regalia, and aside from mild gold and green accents the suit was a majority of dull gunmetal grey. The make of it held no form of engraving, nor any sense of theme, aside from minor indents along the sides and front of the torso, meant to signify a rib cage. This was not armor meant for opulence. It did not play at a higher purpose. It was just armor. Yet the make of it looked such that it seemed to do its job like none other. After a brief silence between the bewildered soldiers and their savior, the woman finally spoke. "I am Minerva An-makhrimun, desendant of the great Phearo, savior of the first mother and father. I have come here with my family. Do you accept our aid?" The two looked at each other, then at the state of the battle around them. The answer was obvious. "Whatever aid you offer, we cannot guarantee your welcome among the ranks." Minerva said nothing, but merely touched two fingers to her earpiece and said: "Send the fleet." From the heavens came a massive Necron ship, baring its guns on the monstrous hoards. Brother Kash'vall had deliver the odd message that the xenos ship was in fact on their side. What they did not know was that the ship was piloted and maintained by the growing family that was saved from jaws of the crusade, the fleet built from countless centuries of piracy and trading with the few who would. An-nakhrimun had been busy. She had known little woe for a very long time.
1:40 Yet somehow the humans failed to notice An-nakhrimun during the Age of Strife, the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. Guess she used a variant of Drax's Sacred Art of Invisibility through sitting perfectly still.

It doesn't matter if the legion is coming and with that all the grimdarkness thing; what is important to note is that she and those humans could experience peace once in a lifetime.
Well im not too proud to admit i cried. The stories like this always hit me the hardest considering in the grimdarkness of the far future these types of moments are rare and when they do happen someone always comes along and fks it up... Im looking at you Horus...
And the legion of idiots find nothing for the Necron activated the cloaking field and the humans were stupid enough to describe her as anything other than a statue. Centuries pass and she is further shaped by the planet and the life on it until she becomes something similar to the robot from Castle in the Sky, a silent caretaker on a world of metal and green.
Damn, that was actually really wholesome in a weird sort of way, I suppose- "The 16th Legion will be arriving in less than a year" Ah. *There's* the grimdark!
The story was so heartwarming. And that was really sweet. And then the moment came at the end. Oh. Yeah. It can never end well. In the grim dark universe.
Finally a Warhammer 40K story that's not just some really tough guy ripping apart aliens, or ripping apart demons, or ripping apart other humans... Apart from the sad implied ending this was down right wholesome.
Ah yes, grimdark. Whenever you feel happy or full with hope there is always something on the horizon and you can't really do anything about it. Moment of happiness before millenias of dread

This was so beautiful... then came mention of the timeline... and the legion that would soon be upon them... were this a tombworld things would play out much differently, but maybe, just maybe, there's enough juice in her ship that she could take some humans with her and escape to the stars. Astartes, traitor or not, aren't gonna bother chasing after 1 fleeing necron ship when an entire planet sits below.
The god that doesn’t understand the gifts or comprehend the people leaving them and the people leaving the gifts not comprehending the god. Very well done.
Man this and the moments in twice dead king make me want to write a story of a necron lord struggling with his immortality and having peaceful interactions with organic life, having to deal with the issues of the dyspherak that oltyx had to deal with, i feel it could possibly make for an impactful story
“These are my humans. There are many like them but these ones are mine. I must master these humans as I must master my immortality. Without me, these humans are dead. Without them, I’m dead… inside.”
Oh wow never thought I would see necron hold a baby it's kinda amazing to be honest I've watched so many Warhammer 40k stuff including wholesome stuff hell the salamanders are one of the best legion because they actually care about people
A necron so fucking depressed that it doesnt even want to kill. Also hope an inquisitor doesnt stop by, because this sounds like an absolutely massive load of heresy
Huh. Now that I think about it, it’s a little weird that there doesn’t seem to be any major encounters with the Necrons during the Great Crusade. I mean, sure, they weren’t going to start waking up in large numbers until afterward. But with all the planets the Primarchs conquered with extreme force, I would think at least one of them would be a tomb world that they accidentally woke up.
Trazyn was there, stealing fresh batches of Emperor's Children geneseed which he later used to pay Fabius Bile for the Fulgrim Clone he added to his collection.
When the word " 16th legion" appeared, all this peaceful and nice moment will be completely redacted and forgotten. Peace never last sadly. Great story, well done on it.
The realization that the status of Necrons was a matter of willpower was shocking - in some ironic twist of fate, she survived the same process that left her mother mindless. A simple decision to stay outside, led to her being an unwitting cultural icon to the primitive species that flourished and destroyed itself around her. Sadly, the Imperium will not care
This suddenly inspired me of an awesome idea of an original Astartes Legion. It is implied that one of the lost Primarchs did get involved and allied with Xenos. So what if in a similar scenario to this, an infant Primarch landed on a paradise world ruled over by a Necron Overlord Lady and her dynasty, and was raced together with the other "Pet" humans? The Overlord would notice that the child was different to other humans and would train and outfit him with Necron Technology. Not sure how he would avoid the Emperor not Exterminatusing the planet, but maybe he would do it as a final wish before being given his Legion and then returning to the planet to outfit his Astartes with Necron Tech as well? The Primarch would maybe even recieve his name from the Necron, with a meaning that may describe how the Overlord felt while raising him. Like Abayomi, meaning "Bringer of Joy", or Adom which means "Receives help from the Gods", or a combination of Egyptian and Arabic names to stick with the theme.
"I own Gauss Weapons for home defense, since that's what the Necrontyr intended. Four Sons of Horus invade my planet. 'What the C'Tan?' I shout as I grab my Necrodermis wig and Gauss Flayer.

The quote alive, but can never truly live comes to mind when I read this comment
Trazyn seems to be having the time of his life, though.
@@LemonRush7777 Probably not as much as you'd think. Ask him about "The Play". Necron 'art' sucks the eye out of the terror. And that's just one example of the problems of being soulless.
There was an interesting idea in the Twice Dead King: Ruin when I read it.
That a lot of (sentient) necrons are seconds away from a breakdown. They can never dwell on their current nature or they will find themselves trying to draw breath with lungs they don't have, panic that their heart isn't beating and that their skin is gone. Sounds like a rather dreadful existence.
Oh and also another funny one was that necron nobles retain their titles from life so one guy was called the 'Grainmaster' and his warriors had grain symbols etched onto them which was rather ironic.

"She even forgot to wallow in her own sadness!"
Girl same
As wholesome and heart-warming as this is, it also highlights the underlying tragedy.
Despite being virtually immortal and master over a legion of hyper-advanced soldiers...this Necron noblewoman desires the simple yet transcendantal feeling of maternal instincts once again.
To hold and nurture newborn life so full of innocence and potential. Holding the infant gives her that spark of that feeling, and even in it's diminished state it's just as precious as the child.
Yet it also a reminder that she nor any Necron can produce offspring such as this. No Necrontyr children will ever be born again from loving Necrontyr parents.
Yet that is no fault of this child or the nearby parents. Thus she'd rather focus on the spark of joy in her cold, metallic arms. To give to this family what she can no longer have to draw that spark out more, than wallow in cold darkness.
That’s why the ultimate ambition of the Necrons is to return to living bodies, with humans being decidedly the best template for them. But before they can do so they want to make the galaxy safe for their future flesh selfs, and many have grown mad and forgotten this dream across millions of years.
What good is being a god if you cannot be one amongst men

It might be interesting if one of the Erased Primarchs was Damnatio-Memoriae'd because he didn't saw friendly xeno as "the exception that proves the rule", but a valid option to take.
After all, there is plenty of worlds where humans and xeno live in peace with each other.
i do believe its implied one of the erased primarchs was erased for reasons other than chaos so that is the most likely option.
I don't really know, If the Guy who Flays you for stealing a Cooky, the Guy who killed Gazillions of Civilians because of his Migraine, the Guy who used forbidden Warp Sorcery to boil his Teawater and last but by far not least, the Guy who created a Religion in a fundementalist Athiest Society were all Okay enough in the Eyes of the Emperor, I don't think that the Guy who says "Maybe Aliens Friend?" would be so much worse.

The Transference was NOT kind on the vast majority of the Necrontyr.
It was wholesome, but then the other humans showed up - human history in a nutshell
Note this story is set 850 M30 which means Horus is still uncorrupted and loyal with command over the Luna Wolves. About half of the Primarchs have yet to be found and the Age of Darkness doesn't begin until M31.
So judging by the background and humans in it their world appears to be an agri one. Thus Horus in all likelihood would achieve peaceful compliance.
If he found Xeno worship he probably wouldn't, specially of one so dangerous to an expansionist empire as the necrons.
@@agentc7020 The thing is the majority of Necrons were still asleep in their stasis vaults aside from a few like Trazyn and the Silent King (if he spoke the truth to Dante). Most of the imperium during this time wouldn't know of their existence nor the full scope of their power. If the talk Dante had with the Silent King is true then Sanguinius would've at least imparted the knowledge that the Necrons weren't without reason to his father or close brothers like Horus. All in all, I feel like Horus would at least try to reason with this Necron to assess its nature before outright killing it.
They'd probably assume it was one of the men of iron,, not xenos.
Small bit of 40k trivia - there's a necron unit called Triarch Praetorian. Canonically they're necron adventurers, who were tasked with educating young races in preparation for return of necrons. They're current lore explanation why necrons look like Tomb Lords ie ancient human cultures in all areas where you can find pyramids were influenced by necrons. That includes Egypt, Mesopotamia, China and Mesoamerica. Now combine it with the existence of Pariah gene.
One can even wonder if our mutual hate with Eldar comes from the fact that our cultures are based on necrontyr ones so we're biased to hate one another?
Plus if anything, humans during DAoT came closest to actually saving necron race. Not helping them reconquer the galaxy, but actually save them. Vohtann and Men of Iron are statements on the fact that humans were able to build sentient machines and thus, though with a lot of effort, they could have upgraded the "mute" chassis types like warrior and gave them free will. Figuring out the body and especially soul issues would have taken longer though 😅
Nice!!

@@brodyratliff7441 badly. Necrons haven't woken up yet so they won't be around and eldar were actively doing Dark Eldar stuff to human colonies just for fun.

Reminds me of this campaign idea I had where a Necron Pharon woke up to find a Feudal World had taken root on the planet and decided to just keep his armies asleep rationalizing it wasn't worth wiping out the primitives and would go to their settlements in disguise from time to time, the whole time convincing himself he couldn't care about these primitives because that would require empathy which he couldn't have without a soul, until an Ork WAGH begins attacking the planet forcing the Pharon to awaken his armies to protect the people of this planet reasoning he doesn't actually care about them but they are living on his planet therefore these humans belong to him and he's not going to let a bunch of Orks destroy his things. If the Necrons managed to win the campaign I would have had the Pharon march his armies back into their tombs and renter their slumber leaving the planet with tales of a mythic warrior king coming to save them with invincible armies from the hordes of monsters from the stars who know lays in eternal sleep until needed again so that when the Imperium arrives they just assume those stories are about the Great Crusade and the world is peacefully reabsorbed into the Imperium, becoming the recruitment world for a homebrew Iron Hands chapter I have fiddling with on and off.

A Necron who is basically a old cat lady, but with entire planets as cats. She feeds, waters, entertains and unfortunately from time to time must put them down for a marinade of reasons.
She treats the entire planet like her pet, changing their entire culture on a whim as if she was changing her pets clothes.
The humans and xenos who live there are forced to coexist under penalty of being “groomed”.
I imagine this character interaction with other Necrons like lady Onela from game of thrones. A strong female among the upper echelons of Necrons politics, who can maneuver around the generals and kings. But the moment she sees her pets she turns into a baby talking mommy Necron.
Better fate than most Imperial worlds.

Phaero An-nakhrimun saw the so-called "beloved son of the Emperor" She had snatches of such a being, but she was hard pressed to find such a thing as the Emperor anything short of unoriginal. However, this "Primarch" Horus did not show any signs of relent when it came to foreign species. But An-nakhrimun had planned for such an emergency. It was strange. For as many years as she had lived, she found the relatively brief time she spent with her new family had given her a sense of purpose she had lacked. In that time she had prepared for any situation that would warrant quick evacuation of the planet. It had taken time to dig up the entrance once again, and more to restore the ship, but it was ready. The main chamber had been equipped with comforts that An-nakhrimun had long since not needed. Beds, taken from their home, along with agri-chambers, already blooming with the promise of food. An-nakhrimun even put in toys, for the young one would still be young for a time. She escorted the humans into the ship, all while cheers of a people welcoming what they thought their salvation was echoed in the distant city. The start was rough, but the force of dirt was not enough to keep the ship in the ground. Finally, with a mighty heave, the ship tore free of its prison of dirt, and hurtled into the sky with the energetic desperation of a bird leaving a burning nest. The ship had left realspace before the Sons of Horus could even turn their guns. However, they did not bother to follow. Their purpose was to take planets, and they would not bother with a lone vessel leaving a world that was well in their grasp.
Y:354 M:41
Field Brother Kash'vall of the Salamanders holstered his flamer in disgust, the canister depleted after what seemed like endless Tyranids falling to his flames. He drew his Sicarus pistol, ready to face the oncoming wave. Sister Westeral began her litany, petitioning the Emperor for strength. With a final nod, she was finished, and revved her chainsword, eager to bring glory to the Emperor or die trying. The first few gave easily, but the horrific being that they were, the Tryanids would not give up, nor be cowed. But from behind Kash'vall came a burst of electric green light. All before them the Tyranids and cultists crumbled to dust, as if time had become their foe. They turned to see a strange sight. The woman held a Gauss Flayer in her hands, and her helmet retracted, not so much through hinges, but as if the very metal was liquid. The armor held little in the way of regalia, and aside from mild gold and green accents the suit was a majority of dull gunmetal grey. The make of it held no form of engraving, nor any sense of theme, aside from minor indents along the sides and front of the torso, meant to signify a rib cage. This was not armor meant for opulence. It did not play at a higher purpose. It was just armor. Yet the make of it looked such that it seemed to do its job like none other. After a brief silence between the bewildered soldiers and their savior, the woman finally spoke.
"I am Minerva An-makhrimun, desendant of the great Phearo, savior of the first mother and father. I have come here with my family. Do you accept our aid?"
The two looked at each other, then at the state of the battle around them. The answer was obvious.
"Whatever aid you offer, we cannot guarantee your welcome among the ranks."
Minerva said nothing, but merely touched two fingers to her earpiece and said: "Send the fleet."
From the heavens came a massive Necron ship, baring its guns on the monstrous hoards. Brother Kash'vall had deliver the odd message that the xenos ship was in fact on their side. What they did not know was that the ship was piloted and maintained by the growing family that was saved from jaws of the crusade, the fleet built from countless centuries of piracy and trading with the few who would. An-nakhrimun had been busy. She had known little woe for a very long time.

Oh wow never thought I would see necron hold a baby it's kinda amazing to be honest I've watched so many Warhammer 40k stuff including wholesome stuff hell the salamanders are one of the best legion because they actually care about people
A necron so fucking depressed that it doesnt even want to kill. Also hope an inquisitor doesnt stop by, because this sounds like an absolutely massive load of heresy
Hope she's got Trazyn on speed dial, or her own fleet.
In the dim glow of the far future, there is sometimes peace.
Imperium seeing this: "THAT'S IT! I'M GETTING MY EXTERMINATUS!"
You have earnt my subscription with this, old chap.
Nicely done!
Woohoo!
Huh. Now that I think about it, it’s a little weird that there doesn’t seem to be any major encounters with the Necrons during the Great Crusade. I mean, sure, they weren’t going to start waking up in large numbers until afterward. But with all the planets the Primarchs conquered with extreme force, I would think at least one of them would be a tomb world that they accidentally woke up.
Trazyn was there, stealing fresh batches of Emperor's Children geneseed which he later used to pay Fabius Bile for the Fulgrim Clone he added to his collection.
Not such a failure this An-nakhrimum.

"She even forgot to wallow in her own sadness"
Me too, buddy. Me too...
At the very least, I'm thankful it isn't the 8th Legion arriving in their system
This small story is something crazy. Got a tear in my eyes.
When the word " 16th legion" appeared, all this peaceful and nice moment will be completely redacted and forgotten.
Peace never last sadly.
Great story, well done on it.
That's it! Ungrims your dark.
This is why Big-E need to listen even on NECRON.
The realization that the status of Necrons was a matter of willpower was shocking - in some ironic twist of fate, she survived the same process that left her mother mindless.
A simple decision to stay outside, led to her being an unwitting cultural icon to the primitive species that flourished and destroyed itself around her.
Sadly, the Imperium will not care
This suddenly inspired me of an awesome idea of an original Astartes Legion. It is implied that one of the lost Primarchs did get involved and allied with Xenos. So what if in a similar scenario to this, an infant Primarch landed on a paradise world ruled over by a Necron Overlord Lady and her dynasty, and was raced together with the other "Pet" humans? The Overlord would notice that the child was different to other humans and would train and outfit him with Necron Technology. Not sure how he would avoid the Emperor not Exterminatusing the planet, but maybe he would do it as a final wish before being given his Legion and then returning to the planet to outfit his Astartes with Necron Tech as well?
The Primarch would maybe even recieve his name from the Necron, with a meaning that may describe how the Overlord felt while raising him. Like Abayomi, meaning "Bringer of Joy", or Adom which means "Receives help from the Gods", or a combination of Egyptian and Arabic names to stick with the theme.
I like it!
