    Summary

    Two years into the sham marriage between Paul Atreides and Irulan Corrino, the universe is on the verge of collapse as holy war rages across time and space. Irulan has been set aside, relegated to a forgotten war prize, while Chani, the Emperor's concubine, grows restless with her lover's endless bloodshed.

    When Chani extends a reluctant olive branch to Irulan, drawing the Emperor's suspicion and ire, another kind of war breaks out within the palace of Arrakeen.

    Summary

    So that was it: Chani had not produced a child for him. Someone else, then, must do it. Why not Irulan? That was the way Chani's mind worked. And it must be done in an act of love because all the Empire avowed strong taboos against artificial ways. Chani had come to a Fremen decision.

     

    — Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert

    When Chani first lays eyes on the tall, blonde, green-eyed royal princess, she comes to a Fremen decision.

    Usul may be wise, but he doesn't know the feminine ways of the desert. She must safeguard him from his own foolish mistakes.

    Summary

    "The Pit". An infamous illegal fight ring deep underground in the old factory near the outskirts of the city.

    No rules, no refs, no mercy. The fights there are brutal, often to the point of hospitalisation or death. Spectators bet huge money; winners get paid in cash, losers get nothing but scars or a body bag.

    Jabber becomes fixated on Zanka the moment they have their first fight. He starts engineering "coincidental" matchups and run-ins. Their quarrels turn into something far more intimate and toxic than the viscious sport. Zanka tries to stay professional and just earn money, but Jabber drags out his darkest urges, reeling him into something he doesn't know how to get out of.

    Summary

    Zanka had not meant to steal from Jabber Wonger.

    Not at first.

    It was supposed to be just a fight. A dirty, brutal clash in the lower trash veins, all blood, poison, teeth, and bad angles.

    Then Mankira got caught in the wall, Jabber stopped laughing, and Zanka saw the one line even a madman would not cross.

    Jabber would break himself before he damaged her.

    So when Assistaff scraped too hard, when one ring slipped loose from Jabber’s deadly hands, when Zanka felt that small warm circle fall into his palm—

    He should have dropped it.

    He should have returned it.

    He should have told someone.

    Instead, Zanka kept one piece of Mankira hidden against his body.

    And Jabber notices hes missing a part of her.

    Now Jabber has nine rings, one empty finger, and a growing obsession with finding out exactly where Zanka is keeping what he stole.

    Zanka calls it evidence.

    Jabber calls it theft.

    Mankira calls it something worse.

    And the lie only gets heavier the longer Zanka keeps her warm.

    Summary

    Orochimaru has ordered Kabuto to start influencing the Academy's sole Uchiha student. Problem? He’ll need to find a child in the same class to get access, and the only available orphan is under constant surveillance. Complication? Single parents cannot adopt in Konoha. Solution? Well...

    Anbu Hound is in need of an official civilian identity that's not clearly "black ops assassin" and in search of an excuse to be in Naruto's life. When he sees an opportunity for both at once, he’d be a fool not to take it, right?

    or: A spy builds a family with an assassin. It's all a cover, until, of course, it isn't.
