    But all it took was for someone to give him permission.

    To tell him, this could be you, if you wanted it.

    Summary

    His name is Niall.
    His name is Niall, and he has a brother. A brother who is on his way to see him right now. Not to pick him up and take him home, he’s reminded, they need a few more days of testing and imaging to make sure his brain isn’t going to bleed into his skull and kill him, but at least now there is someone who can put him back where he is meant to be. Who knew where that was. Who he was.

    Summary

    Paul had not looked in Feyd's direction since the start of the duel, doing his best to suppress the sensations coming from Feyd’s side of the bond as he fought. He had been vaguely aware of Feyd tamping down his own reactions, making a concerted effort not to distract Paul during such a high-stakes event, but as soon as Paul sought Feyd out both visually and mentally, their connection was flooded with such intense heat that Paul swayed where he stood.

    “Feyd,” he said faintly, taking one wobbling step in his direction before Feyd reached him first and wrapped his arms around Paul’s waist.

    Paul.” Feyd was nearly purring in his ear. “If you don’t get us alone right now, I’m going to fuck you until you scream in front of all these people, and you won’t even try to stop me.”

    Summary

    “How long had you known Niall?”

    To Ruben, it sounds almost like a joke. Since when do you know your father, or sunlight, or suffering? It’s one of those things that don’t seem to have a beginning, like God, like an itch only discovered when scratched.

     

    Or, Niall is on trial for murder.

    Summary

    Christ, Niall smelled like a fucking virgin. 

    Really, he smelled like the dirt from the neighbor’s yard, and the hot metal of a burning wreck, and the same acrid chemical shit they used in the clink infirmary to patch up all the pansies who’d gotten what was coming to them. But beneath all that, beneath the stench of the world’s shit? He smelled like a fucking baby. 

    Like 72 bleeding virgins awaiting him in Heaven, or whatever bullshit people promised themselves just to make it through the day.

    Set immediately after the hospital scene, Ruben gets one whiff of Niall and just can't help himself.

    Summary

    Frank realizes a lot of things during his time in rehab, at a nice facility an hour outside of Pittsburgh with cushy rooms and a nice view of the Monongahela. They have flat screens in the communal areas that he would watch Penguins games on, and actually decent meals that you’d never get from the PTMC cafeteria. Great place to stare out of a window and have some revelations.

    He realizes that Robby is definitely going to fuck Whitaker.

    Summary

    There are three statements of life that Langdon knows as absolute fact:

    1. Langdon is a straight man. Women are gorgeous, and he has a wife whom he loves very much.
    2. The painkillers he uses from the Pitt aren’t the start of a bad habit. He’s not an addict—just a good son recovering from a back injury sustained moving some furniture.
    3. His relationship with the medical field is mutualism. He saves countless lives, takes good care of people, but he benefits as well. It keeps his head too busy to think.

    Robby challenges all those assertions.

    Summary

    “This is so fucked,” Robby says, the laughter in his voice a cruel echo of the way he used to say that to Frank, the we’re-in-this-together exasperation of the ER’s worst days, and he drags his hand down his face to stop himself from flinching when he recognizes it. “Does your wife—”

    “Don’t,” Frank says, voice sharper than Robby’s heard it all night. Sharper than he’s heard it in ten months, the sharpest it’s been since Frank had to dull the blade of it and turn it inwards to save his own hide. It’s a bark more than a spoken word, but Frank’s not a dog.

    Dogs don’t talk, Robby thinks. Dogs don’t talk, and dogs don’t have wives.

    It’s more fucked, Robby knows, that it’s the word wife rotating around in his skull and not her name. He knows her. He likes her, for god’s sake. He’s had holiday dinners at her table and shared fond eye-rolls across the appropriately-themed tablecloth at ridiculous things Frank’s said, that same we’re-in-this-together exasperation, and now — now Robby can’t even give her the dignity of thinking her name with his fingers in her husband’s mouth.

    or: frank isn't very good at asking for forgiveness. robby isn't very good at granting it.

    Summary

    Robby stacks the last of the gauzes in the box. He’s about to stand up when a strong force pushes him back down in the chair. He looks to see Langdon’s shin pressing into his lap.

    His hands freeze in the air like he’s just been caught at the scene of his crime.

    What would his crime even be? Leaning back and watching Langdon reach for the box on the highest shelf instead of offering to help?

    Or would it be for allowing Langdon to act inappropriately with his attending at work? Maybe for ogling Langdon’s body as he stretches up, the hem of his scrubs revealing the thin line of toned skin.

    Summary

    “Do you think the witches thought this through? Me and you?” Feyd asked, voice low.

    “Feyd,” Paul warned, gripping the man’s wrist. “Let me go.”

    “I’m afraid I can’t.”

    “Feyd.”

    “I think I was built to be here, with you. I dreamed I was grown in a tube. I saw my whole life, skinned, peeled, left to dry, and my blood was your blood, and your blood was mine, and we were fused. I don’t believe in their bitch magic.” He spat the word. Tightened his grip. “I don’t think I believe in anything. But you,” he stopped, tripped, as if the speech he usually commanded so effortlessly had failed him. His mouth hung open. He leaned closer, breath sweet with the milk he’d drank before coming to Paul’s room. “You are unavoidable, aren’t you?”

    Paul went limp. His body pulsed. Everything inside him lit and liquified, scorching. “Does that frighten you?”

    Summary

    The first time Paul Atreides ever lays eyes on Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, it is through a looking glass across a gladiator arena vast enough to swallow hundreds of thousands. Countless faces lie between them, mouths screaming, bodies chanting, while strange ink-blot fireworks split the bright, colourless sky. It is a whole world of noise and distance, but Feyd-Rautha’s eyes still find his.

    They have never met. Paul has never seen him before in his life.

    And yet, why is it that there is something so unnervingly familiar about him?

    OR, what if Paul and Feyd had met earlier, became obsessed with each other, and then had to learn the hard way that there is a huge machinery of politics and destiny around them, and love might not be enough.

    Canon divergent. Starts off light, but gets more complex, plot-heavy, psychological and darker. Some serious knives in this (eventually).

    Summary

    Still, he's fond of Paul's horse. It tipped the scales in his favor. The Atreides—a family with a long and storied name but, in recent years, diminishing wealth, due in part to the patriarch's recent health issues. They'd already cut a great deal of their expenses by the time Feyd proposed, and Paul had been considering outright selling the horse. Money was tight, and full board at a stable cost a couple thousand a month. 

    "I'll take care of that," Feyd told him. "I'll take care of everything."

    He has. Leto's medical bills paid for, Paul's childhood home given some much needed repairs, the horse still living in the lap of luxury.

    And in return, Paul is so very, very grateful.
