Summary
This is no dumb animal, Paul realizes with a sudden chill.
'Who are you, little mouse,' the susurrations of the waiting worm seem to say. 'You are no child of my desert. What manner of creature are you that enters my domain?'
'I am no one, Great Maker,' his trembling fingers reply as they sink into the dusty grains beneath them. They grasp at the rough texture in desperation, in supplication before this desert god. 'I am lost. My family is gone, my people are scattered, and I, with them. Where do I go from here?'
tldr; I prompted myself: 'ok cool cool but like, what if Paul could speak to sandworms?'

Summary
He saw fragments of the future, of death and destruction his ruling would bring, and he saw the Palaces turn to dust as mothers mourned over their lost children.
“Your future is written in the past, young one. There is no escaping it, for you are Kwisatz Haderach. They all will judge you and resent you. Some already do.”
And then, he saw another path, carving its way over other possibilities. A path of the man, embracing the terror he had unleashed. Yet despite this, the man was not alone. For there was another, a cousin in blood and a brother in rule, standing next to him, next to the Throne Paul would sit on.Bookmarked by katorakta

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.
