Summary
Feyd-Rautha is more concerned with when he'll be let out of his Arrakeen prison than Muad'Dib's holy war. But Paul saved his life for a reason, and now Feyd has been pulled into Paul's plan to arrange a triumvirate of Houses together, a polymarriage that would bring the universe to heel before the war fully destroys the wheels of power that have been turning for millennia. Feyd-Rautha, war-prize and baron-general. It doesn't have a bad sound to it. He's still planning to kill Paul, but... maybe he'll see how this plays out. He is the slow knife that pierces the shield.
[Part 1 (1-15) complete. Part 2 in progress!]
After Feyd-Rautha becomes an indelible part of Paul's four-part polymarriage, he realizes that his life is getting far more complicated. He is not a man who deals in kindness, and finding himself bent into new positions to slake his own thirst for power begins to destroy him. As the Bene-Gesserit make their moves and factions jostle to undermine the new Shaddam imperials, Irulan steps up to take control, Chani must interrogates the history--and corruption--at the heart of Arrakis, and Paul finds absolution in the desert. But Feyd? He's still just the blade they hold over their enemies.

Summary
A prisoner in what was meant to be his home, the last thing Paul Atraides expected after his father death was to find the man of his dreams among his captors. His face had only come to him in rare flashes, in pieces, but he’d recognized his eyes in any universe. Those eyes that hungered for him as he took off his clothes, fingers slow and smile teasting at his lover’s growing desperation while Paul forbid him to touch. He’d recognize his lips among a raging sandstorm, blind and deaf: the shape of them, the way they felt against his skin, around his cock. He’d recognize his hands even in death. They had brought him pleasure and pain only when he asked for it. They had worshiped his body, drawn him close to another while sweat cooled on his skin. Paul couldn’t tear his gaze away from them now, not when they were holding his father’s severed head.
***
Leto's last act of bravey works and baron Vladimir Haronen dies in a poisonous cloud. His nephew, Feyd-Rautha takes over Arrakis. but he does not intend to carry out his uncle's plan. Instead, he offers an alliance, a marriage between House Atraides and House Harkonnen, and a future Paul had only dreamt of until now.

Summary
"You're just looking for a fight."
"Maybe I am. I'd like to bloody myself with you."
This thing between them—it had only just started, but Paul knew a game when it was set out before him. He liked games.
Under imperial law, the Atreides are required to hold court for the Harkonnens after the official surrender of Arrakis. Paul is immediately intrigued by the second in line for the throne, Feyd-Rautha, and it doesn't take long before the two are colliding, stealing away to hiss over cracked ribs and covetous breaths.

Night after night, the constant that made longing bloom in his heart shifted like the tides, waves crashing against what he once knew of her sun kissed skin and mesmerizing piercing blue eyes came back polluted, petroleum sticky above gray tissues, burning with an innate desire that made him lose his anchor.

Summary
He who can destroy a thing controls it.
This Paul knows.
Yet slowly, despite all of his efforts, he is being corroded away by this thing that exists between them. This terrible, agonizing thing.
Truly, it is the slow blade which penetrates the shield.x
Feyd makes a different choice during the duel. Paul cannot stand his cousin, who haunts his every step.
But the constant push and pull is hard to resist, dangerous in its headiness...x
Preview:
They are at a stand-still, knife to throat and throat to knife, and Paul knows what comes next.
He has seen it.
Knows that there will be pain, and that things will seem to have taken a turn for the worse. And, for a short moment, they will have.
But only for a moment.
So he steels himself, resolve building in the way that he clenches his teeth, face so close to Feyd-Rautha's that he can feel the Harkonnen's breath on his lips – Paul's eyes darting down to that rictus of a smile – when everything...shifts

Summary
Paul can feel himself hyperventilating, mind spinning from the sheer implications of everything he has just heard.
“The Reverent Mother instructed me explicitly. We were to let him touch you. It was a curious sight, the way he held you, almost despite himself…so incongruously gentle for such a brutal creature.” She nearly smiles and Paul shakes with the sudden urge to snarl in her face. “Your fever broke. You settled calm for the first time in weeks.”
“This is a lie-“
“You are connected now. A change has been triggered in you and in the Na-Baron Harkonnen as well. The Reverent Mother says it is in your blood. There is no cure for it.”
The threads the Bene Gesserit weave are intricate and ever enduring, schemes within schemes, contingencies within contingencies.
Jessica gives birth to a son instead of a daughter despite explicitly given orders. It should have altered the path forced upon her, the sacrifice that was to be made of her child in the hands of a brutal and violent house. Instead her choice triggers a dormant Bene Gesserit gene engineering not witnessed for millennia.

Summary
Paul blinked the sleep out of his eyes, and quickly looked down at his hands. The reality of the situation hit him like the slash of a crysknife.
These weren’t his hands.
Gone were the callouses gained from years in the desert, and the deep tan he had gained from the beating sun of Arrakis — Paul’s skin was the soft ivory it had been on Caladan.
“Impossible,” he whispered, but even as the word left his lips, Paul felt the truth of this place in his soul.
Summary: Paul Atreides has just defeated Feyd Rautha, when he is suddenly thrust into the past - back on his home planet of Caladan, where he is forced to confront his grief.

Summary
Duncan reaches up to cup Paul’s face; he brushes a thumb over Paul’s cheek. He tilts Paul’s face this way and that.
“You look like you never sleep.”
Paul can barely breathe. He doesn’t know what to say. He hasn't slept, not well, anyway. He wakes up early or in fits in the night, and he can never escape those strange dreams. They’re getting harder to shake during the day.
Duncan’s hand drops away.
“You can stay with me,” Duncan offers. “Anytime you need. Tonight, if you want. If it will help you sleep.”
***
Paul has trouble sleeping. More accurately, he has trouble with his dreams. Duncan Idaho notices something off with his boy, and he offers Paul a place to stay. Paul only has to take him up on it.

Summary
The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.
But for a time, life is simple.
And then it is not.
Or — Chani, in the aftermath.

Summary
There have been seasonal balls held on Caladan before. But something's different about this one, Duncan thinks. Maybe it's because so many families from the royal houses were here, or because Leto was on the brink of being given Arrakis. Or maybe it's because Paul has been dressed in silk and jewels, and every time he looks at Duncan something heated passes between them. Something forbidden.
⸻
Duncan attends a ball at Castle Caladan. He spends the evening fighting his attraction to his young student.
