    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

     

    Lady Jessica, the royal concubine of Duke Leto and wife in all but name, bore her first child on January 1st, 10175. The Bene Gesserit were pleased with the result and considered Lady Jessica’s mission complete. But there was a great secret that House Atreides held during these first fragile years of the child’s life: though no one knew it at the time, Muad’dib Atreides had been brought into this world. The name Muad’dib was born with has been stricken from the interstellar record, and not a single scholar in present day knows what Duke Leto and Lady Jessica originally selected. What we do know is that by age three, Leto and Jessica started referring to Muad’dib as Paul.

     

    By the time Muad’dib turned five years of age, the Bene Gesserit knew that they had been fooled. 

     

    — From “Manual of Muad’dib” by the Princess Irulan

    Summary

    He could still feel sand beneath his finger nails, and despite the fact that he had many dreams come true, none had felt so real, and to have dreams within his dreams was unheard of.

    He flipped his hands over, resting his palms against his knees, his real skin and flesh knees, warm beneath his hands and slid his eyes shut. He took a deep breath, kept taking them until they didn’t shake him to his core, let himself get lost in the rhythm.

    When he opened his eyes again, he was still in his room, and nothing had changed. It was early, early enough that even the kitchen servants would just be waking up.

    He was so much colder than he had been in years.

    -

    After a year of being the Padishah Emperor, Paul Atreides wakes up as a seventeen year old again. He doesn't know how he got there, but he's willing to do anything too keep his father from going back to Arrakis, even if that anything is a plan that he had thought of years ago and never thought would come to fruition.
