''[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=173414 Lovehammer: Sailor Moon 40K]'' is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what it sounds like]], a [[Sailor Moon]] / [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] crossover. This page focuses more upon Arkado's story and everything else will be marked as such, however its [[The Verse|universe]], such that it is, can be divided into two basic catagories:
 
* The serious stories, most notably the story written by Arkado which first appeared on the Spacebattles Creative Writing forum in early September 2010. There is also another story with a similar premise being written by Charles Bhepin, author of ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'', under the title ''Lovehammer: The Scattering of Serenity'', which went live on FF.net around the end of September 2010. Bhepin cites Arkado’s version as his inspiration.
Line 6:
* <s>The Mother Ship</s> [[Lovehammer Inc|The Parent thread]] which is more a group consensus set of universes and exist primarily as [[Crack Fic]].
 
However, in general ''Lovehammer'' begins during the Great Crusades just after the God-Emperor has finished vanquishing the warlords of Terra and united the planet under his rule. Several universes over, the Silver Millennium comes crashing down around Queen Serenity’s ears, and her attempts to reincarnate Princess Serenity and the Senshi are sabotaged by Chaos, which redirects the Senshi’s souls outside of time and space. Unfortunately for the Ruinous Powers, however, [[Spanner in the Works|the infant Serenity lands practically in the Emperor’s lap]]; sensing a power to rival his own, the Emperor promptly adopts the girl and raises her as his daughter. As the Emperor and the Princess search the galaxy for the lost Primarchs however, they discover that the Senshi have come along as well.
 
Now flash forward to the 41st Millennium. Princess Serenity is worshiped as [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|the first child of the Emperor]] and the Senshi -- called Anima by the citizens of the Imperium -- are revered to the same degree as the Primarchs, but the galaxy is still much the same [[Grimdark]] battlefield that it is in canon, though there are numerous changes which make themselves apparent as the story goes on.
 
Our story begins when '''COMMISSAR [[Ciaphas Cain]], HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''' and [[Badass Army|the Valhallan 597th]] find themselves abruptly dispatched to the [[Death World]] Hades VI, where an ork space hulk has crash-landed and its contents have begun harassing the locals. The Valhallans have barely made landfall when the orks mount a major offensive, setting off a chain of events that leads Cain to stumble onto the lost resting place of Sailor Saturn, who went missing shortly before the Horus Heresy. In typical Cain fashion, the situation proceeds to escalate very quickly and very badly when the Ruinous Powers arrive in orbit intent on claiming the planet and snuffing out Saturn's life before she can adjust to her new surroundings. At the same time, other factions across the galaxy begin to react to Saturn's return, and none of them have her best interests in mind, not even the Imperium she serves...

{{tropelist}}
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: The Hades VI planetary defense forces are an entire [[Badass Army]] of [[Almighty Janitor|Almighty Janitors]]. This is because they used to be {{spoiler|Saturn's Royal Guard}}.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Civil War]]: What will likely happen once word of Hotaru's survival gets out, and what our heroes are trying to avoid at all costs.
* [[Conflict Ball]]: Holy crap, and how!
* [[Crack Fic]]: The [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=172987 Parent Thread] that inspired this fic is going in a [[Lighter and Softer]] direction, regarding the lives of the Senshi and Primarchs in the Pre-Heresy period (The Heresy still occurs, but not as damaging). Some of the exerpts are entirely non-serious, such as the [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] regarding the death of a historical romance writer whose Off-characterization of the marriage between Perturabo and Mercury became [[Fanon]] across the galaxy.
{{quote|(2) I hasten to add that all rumors of the Iron Warriors involvement in Moer’s untimely and unfortunate end are nothing but rumors, as there has been no evidence that the First Chaplain of the Iron Warriors had her blood on his crozius after Moer’s brutalized body had been discovered. For Further reading, I recommend perusing Horatio Grissom’s ''Scelere, Poena et Literature Vol. V'', which discusses the case in detail. }}
* [[Crossover]]: [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] and [[Sailor Moon]], with [[Expy|elements]] of [[Star Wars]], of all things.
** Which gets into a Cain and Hotaru ''[[Crossover Ship]]''. Not that Cain isn't actively avoiding this as much as he can, or that any ambuguity about his affections is left once {{spoiler|[[Love Interest|Amberley]] [[Official Couple|shows up]]}}, but given [[Ship Tease|Hotaru's actions]] and much of [[Fan-Preferred Couple|the rest of the thread]]...
* [[Deader Than Dead]]: Hotaru's command of the Silence allows her to do this to daemons, killing them ''permanently'' instead of just banishing them back to the Warp.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[Irony]]": [[The Messiah]] is met with much [[Oh Crap]] from her own subjects. An Inquisitor calls in a Battle Barge of [[Space Marines]] to Exterminatus {{spoiler|the planet with said Messiah on it}}. Another Inquisitor ends up leading the above mentioned Operation Keep Messiah Alive, which will be seen by many as Heresy against the Imperial Creed. This point of contention will likely trigger a Civil War. Isn't [[The Messiah]] supposed to be a good thing?
* [[It Got Worse]]: Every chapter. [[Ciaphas Cain|Nothing new there,]] [[Cosmic Plaything|of course.]]
* [[Knight Templar]]: Par for the course in 40K, naturally. But a shining example comes in the form of a Space Marine force commander who refuses to believe that anyone on the planet is anything other than a Chaos-worshiping Heretic. Not even when Hotaru shows up, and despite ''his own Chaplain's'' efforts to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|beat some sense into him]].
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Cain is briefly overcome by a very uncharacteristic zealous fervor when he realizes he’s standing between a sleeping Senshi and a group of hostile orks.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The names of pretty much every [[Original Character]] introduced by the author are anagrams. [[Star Wars|Radev and Soudisi]] for instance.
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* [[Shout-Out]]: All over the place. They are as followed in no particular order.
** [[Star Wars|Darth Vader's]] [[Expy]] Colonel Radev who even does some of his quotes
** [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|This! Is! Hades!]]
* [[The Starscream]]: Depends on who you are and who's [[Switching POV|telling the story.]]
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: A driving in-universe conflict, given all of the factions who ''do not need'' an Anima of the Imperium suddenly showing up.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: All the Senshi, as mentioned above, are spoken of with the same reverence as the primarchs, though compared to their brothers they were apparently more spiritual leaders than they were great warriors and they don't have an equivalent force to the [[Space Marines]]. That's not to say they couldn't kick ass, though; Jupiter is apparently the patron saint of the Imperial Guard, and Hotaru -- despite being fresh out of 10,000 years of cold sleep -- is virtually a [[One-Man Army]] against orkish and Chaos forces.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Almost everyone, given the setting, but the most spectacular examples so far include the Saturnian Royal Guard ( {{spoiler|who will follow the Anima, even if it means fighting the Imperium}}), a bulk of the [[Space Marine|SpaceMarines]] ( {{spoiler|who remain convinced that everyone from Hades VI, Hotaru included, are lying heretic scum like the Chaplain who realizes the truth}}), and {{spoiler|Amberley (who is so used to having to manipulate everyone that she goes behind [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|Hotaru]] and even [[Battle Couple|Ciaphas']] backs to protect them all)}}.
