Let me tell you about Stormcast Eternals.
Picture this: Eternal warriors who have been divinely appointed to the task of protecting humankind - immortal, untouched by age or disease, and every time they die in battle their souls are sent back, not reborn but reforged. Chosen from brave and noble souls who died a hero's death, remade in a new body built to battle again and again. Inhumanly strong, fast, and keen of senses, and also literally twice the size of a regular, mortal human beings. Some have wings on their backs, having all the appearance of a warrior angel. To them, mortals are such little, fleeting, fragile things.
But emotionally, they themselves are quite vulnerable. Each death carries the risk of losing more of their souls, becoming more and more a perfect divine weapon, and less and less the mortal person that they used to be. Losing themselves means losing sympathy towards humanity, and this loss of identity is the true, final death that they fear more than any way of being killed.
So if and when one of them returns with less of themselves intact than they should, some of them are assigned therapy animal pet humans, ideally their own kin, however distant. And they are supposed to form a bond to this human, to remember who they were as a mortal and what it means to be human. The mortal is to do the same, to bond with the Eternal, help mend their tattered soul or at least slow down the process of its deterioration. A massively large and strong living weapon, at risk of losing their identity as a human being, and an ordinary little mortal whom they must protect at all costs, because the fate of their very soul depends on it.
And the most amazing thing about all this is that I've never seen porn of them. Like sure yeah there probably is some, but haven't encountered any just scrolling down my tumblr dash. Y'all are really sleeping on Warhammer lore, because which part of this does not sound like an elaborare "imagine your OTP" fanfic AU setting?
