I very much don't want to waste the opportunity for a write-in, although I will say I agree with the fall into the "go see the brother" option. It's more that we can use it to add some cool flavor things we may agree on, like maybe Ferrus and Talos forging a weapon together in bonding.
It's a big opportunity. At the same time, I realize QM adhere's (very faithfully and appreciated) to an update a day and has mentioned he's an employed person whose time is limited, asking him to to write a big huge novel isn't quite fair either.
So I think what I will attempt to do is lay simple points, show my reasoning, write out something fluffy in a doc or PDF. which parts you guys like and QM will allow. Leave it open ended, still allow QM to insert any other narratives he wants to include. i.e. "Talos and Ferrus spend a jolly good time forging weapons, and then this happpens: (QM inserts part)"
Tried to do research into Ferrus mentality. He's not the only tech primarch, "what makes him different? How would Talos be different? If Talos were to try and befriend him and at least have some level of Empathy, how would might he do so" I thought to myself.
This book is particularly enlightening. it delves deeper into Ferrus Manus thoughts than many other books, particularly in how he reacts to other primarchs besides Fulgrim. There's an Exodite Planet that Vulkan, Ferrus and Mortarion have to conquer and destroy the Eldar Psychic nodes.
Summary of the books key plot elements. It does contain spoilers for those who want to read it themselves:
