If I Cant Have You is primarily a trope about villains demanding somebody love them and trying to kill them when refused. Changing this entry to Taking You With Me, which fits the example of a villain killing himself with nuclear/chemical weapons instead of surrendering. Adding some text to the spoilers in the Book 2 folder to make it less obvious that it's talking about Isha, to make it less of a Self Fulfilling Spoiler (the spoilers in question previously were 4 letters long and there's a major character with a 4-character name).


* ArchEnemy: The Emperor, for all he considers ''all'' of Chaos his and humanity's mortal enemies, has a really personaly enmity with [[spoiler: Vashtorr]]. This is because [[spoiler: Vashtorr, unlike the Chaos Gods, was born directly from ''humanity's'' sins during the Dark Age of Technology, the same way Slaanesh was born from the Eldar's, something George believes is his fault for being negligent]]. The two battled each other many times during the Age of Strife, and the Emperor suspects him to be behind [[spoiler: the Mechanicum declaring war on Terra]].

* BoringButPractical: Isha tends to see constantly creating healing fruit to combat the enemy bioweapons as a rather boring and monotonous task, but it is the most efficient way.

* BoringButPractical: Isha tends to see constantly creating healing fruit to combat the enemy bioweapons as a rather boring and monotonous task, but it is the most efficient way. She can adjust the next crop to counter the latest bioweapon they run into, and it makes for simpler logistics and distribution since all she needs is water, soil, and genetic material.



* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: The Emperor and Malcador both notice that while Isha has ''vastly'' accelerated their timetable to form the Imperium, and has given them a far more stable base to start from, in addition to all of the secrets she holds, such as how to make wraithbone and dreamstones, things the Emperor dearly wants to use for the Imperium... but the problem for them is, there's no way for them to get any of these benefits without keeping Isha alive and willingly cooperating with her.

* FantasticRacism: The Emperor and Malcador have a ''lot'' of trouble believing that Isha genuinely wants to help people with no strings attached (granted, their main experiences with the Eldar before that were with the ''insanely'' corrupt Eldar Dominion). Isha herself defies this, for the most part.

* HistoryRepeats:
** A recurring theme in the story is Isha noting how uncomfortable she is finding the growing parallels between her work with the Emperor and the work the Old Ones had the Aeldari perform during the War In Heaven.
** Isha also regularly grouses about how frustratingly petty the Emperor is and how much of a ControlFreak nature he has, and how much it reminds her of the previous TeethClenchedTeamwork she had with Asuryan, the TopGod of the Aeldari pantheon (and who was basically her ruler/boss).



* GodIsGood: Isha is easily the most benevolent and moral deity in the Warhammer [=40K=] universe, at the moment (not that it's very hard to be that, considering her only real competition is Khaine, Cegorach, Gork and Mork, the Chaos Gods, and - sorry, not the Emperor).

* PowerLimiter: For a long time, Isha is only allowed to leave her rooms while wearing special enchanted manacles. As she gradually earns the Emperor's trust, she gets less restrictive limiters that are more comfortable to wear.



* PragmaticVillainy: Well, the Emperor is no saint, but he's not exactly villainous (at least not in the traditional manner some of the other factions are ''*cough*'' Chaos ''*cough*''). While he is understandably paranoid of Isha, he doesn't try to brute force her into working for the Imperium but instead willing to enter an agreement. He still calls the shots, but he does allow her some manner of leniency and takes some of her words into consideration. Even someone as ruthless as the Emperor knows that information gained from Isha would be less valuable if it was forced out of her compared to her willingly working with him.

* AdaptationalHeroism: From Isha's memories, it seems Gorkamorka, prior to splitting into Gork and Mork, was more of a ProudWarriorRaceGuy than the ChaoticNeutral BloodKnight he's presented as in ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar''.

* CompositeCharacter: In ''Warhammer Fantasy'', Hoeth was the Elven god of knowledge, wisdom, and learning. In this story, Hoeth is who Cegorach ''used'' to be; it's implied the War In Heaven drove Hoeth insane, causing him to reinvent himself as the [[LaughingMad Laughing God]].

This is not specifically a romantic trope — it covers any situation where a character struggles to process or articulate a feeling or emotion that they don't normally experience.


* WhatIsThisFeeling: A non-romantic example; the Emperor has become so hardened and ruthless over the millennia that he is genuinely startled and initially unable to properly figure out that he's feeling sympathy and pity for the Aeldari goddess when he sees her basically go through a [=PTSD=] flashback related to Nurgle.

It is a city pretending to be a CrystalSpiresAndTogas attempt to restore the glory of humanity's Golden Age, but in reality, it merely replicates some ancient architecture with no attempts at originality, and is built in an extremely colourless, cold fashion. And of course, there is the clear UrbanSegregation along with its leadership serving Chaos towards the end.

* WorthlessYellowRocks: The Emperor's attempts to replicate Isha's Dreamstones produce marvelous, near priceless jewels, which he notices would be enough to elevate a commoner family to the ranks of nobility in terms of sheer monetary cost. Without the soul-protecting aspect of the Dreamstones, however, they are trash as far as he cares.
