'''''[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/motherhood-the-tale-of-three-w30k-oc-centric.38373/ Motherhood: The Tale of Three]''''' is an [[Alternate Universe]] ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' fanfic by Older-than-Time on Sufficient Velocity. Beginning as an expanded version of [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/motherhood-snippets-primarchs-w30k.37857/ a series of snippets] largely set around the 31st Millennium, story features among others the tales of three immortal women, who by a turn of fate all come to raise three specific Primarchs:
Lion El'Jonson, now known as Crown Prince Mordred by Eve.
Sanguinius, now known as Gabriel of Baal Secundus by Merdraut.
Magnus the Red, now known as Solaire of Prospero by Anri.
Suffice to say, the presence of such female "Perpetuals" raising Primarchs would have far-reaching consequences for the burgeoning Imperium, the Great Crusade and the Emperor's ultimate plans.

* [[Adaptational Badass]]:
** {{Spoiler|Malcador the Sigillite}} is revealed to have be an artificial Perpetual born during the fall of Troy. {{spoiler|Malcador}} also gone by Judas Iscariot, Merlin and Douglas MacArthur in his long life.
** Ollanius Persson this time around is shown to have led more high-profile lives at a few points over the millennia, including being Achilles and Omar Nelson Bradley.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Sort of. Many of the Perpetuals are either the basis of various mythological and historical figures.
Line 30:
** The United Human Empire of Albion can come off as a peculiar blend of the [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Kingdom of Bretonnia]] and the Tau Empire due to its simultaneously idealized culture and high technology.
* [[First-Name Basis]]: In a fashion. Eve is the only one who really gets to call the Emperor by what's heavily implied to be among his first names: {{Spoiler|Spoiler=Adam.}}
* [[Immortal Procreation Clause]]: Perpetuals in general are unable to reproduce naturally, often resorting to adoptions among others. Though it hasn't stopped some from finding ways to circumvent sterility.
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Even with the renaming of the Primarchs, they still wind up using the names granted to them by the Emperor of Mankind.▼
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Played with.

** While events like the Great Crusade still happen more or less on schedule, the presence of other human polities like Albion and the aforementioned Perpetuals throw a wrench on [[Horus Heresy|the Cabal]]'s plans, who are still plotting behind the scenes.
* [[Julius Beethoven Da Vinci]]: Many of the Perpetuals are revealed to have taken the guise of various mythological and historical figures of varying significance over the millennia.
* [[Just Before the End]]: There are a few glimpses of how life was like during the final days of the Dark Age of Technology, just before everything goes mad.
* [[Living Relic]]: While the Perpetuals themselves by and large are this by default in one way or another, some are much more so than others. Many of them have been around in time periods familiar to modern-day mankind, and still retain more than a few memories, cultural habits and personality tics from those eras.
* [[Original Character]]: The Perpetual "mothers" themselves, though they're not the only ones. In addition to them, notably, are the two Lost Primarchs and their respective Lost Legions; unlike in canon, they're not only discovered but remain loyal to the Imperium.
* [[Space Romans]]: Compared to the Imperium, the United Human Empire of Albion forged by Merdraut is based on an idealized, if technologically advanced re-imagining of Britannia and old Camelot.
* [[Time Abyss]]: The Emperor and the other Perpetuals, by and large, have been around for since antiquity or some point in humanity's earlier history.
