    Summary

    A while passes before Lan Qiren allows him to rise from his bow of repentance. The whorls in the wooden floor are his childhood friends, punishment upon punishment served in their company. They try their best to soothe the churning in his gut.

    “You have been bestowed an honour like no other. You are the chosen disciple.” Lan Qiren retrieves something from behind his desk and passes it to him. Heavy and cold, Lan Wangji grips the object with both hands, and then startles when he sees that he has been handed a sword. A disciple is not permitted to wield weapons, even the tools they work with must always remain blunt and dull. And yet here he is holding a sword, heavy with spiritual power.

    “The fate of the Cloud Recesses lies on your shoulders. Let the heavens down and eternal damnation shall await you.”

    ———

    The Cloud Recesses is a place of silence and virtue, of righteous victory and truth.

    But something ancient and indestructible lurks just beyond these four noiseless marble walls. A force so evil it cannot be named. And it threatens to destroy everything Lan Wangji knows, everything he believes to be right and true.

    Summary

    Paul Muad'Dib Atreides and Irulan of the House Corrino marry at the end of Dune Part II shortly after Chani leaves. Paul ascends to the throne of the Known Universe while the holy war engulfs humanity. However, like in the book, he spent 3 years with the Fremen and has truly become one of them. What Paul wants above all is the love of his life back, which is exactly what the man worshipped as a god cannot have, as Chani moves on with someone else and Paul is heartbroken as a result. Pressured by Jessica, suffocated by imperial politics, torn between his love for Chani and his grief at losing her, haunted by the consequences of his actions, Paul descends deeper into his own darkness, threatening to drag Irulan, who has a secret of her own, down with him. Irulan might be the nominal prisoner but is any of them truly free? And can either of them find a sliver of light as darkness and war start to consume everyone and everything?

    Summary

    In her youth, Irulan Corrino cherished a deep friendship with Paul Atreides—until a decree from her father severed their connection. Years later, with the Atreides seemingly destroyed, Irulan believed Paul lost to her forever. However, the rise of Muad'Dib, the mysterious Fremen prophet leading a revolution on Arrakis, reveals a shocking truth: Paul Atreides is alive.

    Now, as the empress and wife to the enigmatic and vengeful Muad'Dib, Irulan seeks to navigate her new life on the desert planet. Determined to secure her position, she decides to embrace the ways of the Fremen. But the desert holds secrets and challenges that Irulan might not be prepared for. Will her quest to become Fremen strengthen her or break her?

    Summary

    Lan Wangji can do nothing but stare at the man outside his window. “Wei Ying?”

    “Hey, you remembered!” Wei Ying seems to take that as an invitation because he swings himself through the window. “This is a nice house,” he says as he strides across the room and drops onto the seat beside Lan Wangji. “The whole place is really beautiful. I mean, I’d heard Cloud Recesses was lovely, but the rumors don’t do it justice.”

    “How?” Lan Wangji manages to ask, but his mind goes blank after that single word. There are other words he would like to say. Why is one. Hello is another. What is happening right now would be nice, but he’s too stunned for full sentences.


    Or Lan Wangji falls in love with a cute (possibly poor?) guy named Wei Ying, but suddenly the notorious Yiling Laozu (mysterious, possibly hot under his mask?) wants to marry him. Now Lan Wangji is being wooed by two men, but he's being so brave about it.
