    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

    and nancy always wants to scream, especially on those mornings, scream but the suburbs will swallow their sound just like it does everything else—failing marriages and broken bicycles and poorly kept secrets and government conspiracies—and why bother anyway, it’s not like anyone would understand her, would know this pain, would know what it was like to be only feet away when—

     

    or: nancy struggles quietly. steve misses none of it.

    Summary

    “Every year, she asks if I’m bringing someone home for Christmas. I think she’s worried I’m lonely. And every year, I have to tell her no, which I just know breaks her heart. So I might have said yes this time.”

    That draws a surprised laugh from Max, who stares at him with wide eyes. “And you don’t actually have someone to bring home for Christmas, I take it?”

    “No,” the Monégasque admits, rubbing at the back of his neck.

    “Damn,” Max huffs, sounding both surprised and amused. “You didn’t give her a fake name as well, did you?”

    And, well, at least he didn’t technically do that.

    “Not exactly.”

    “What does that mean?”

    Charles lets out a groan and leans his head back against the wall again, staring at the bright Lusail sky.

    He takes a deep breath, deciding he’s already told Max too much to back out now, and offers him the kind of honesty he was unable to offer his own mother.

    “I might have told her I was bringing you?”

    ---

    OR: Charles lies about having a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas. That "boyfriend" is Max.
