Corrupted by Design CH 5 | Feyd-Rautha x Reader

After generations of pillaging and destroying their ecosystem, you are assigned by the Emperor to work on with the Harkonnens to improve their planet’s agriculture as Imperial Ecologist. However, Giedi Prime is far from welcoming, and you must fight to survive the horrors you endure at the hands of the Harkonnens. When you catch the eye of the Baron’s youngest nephew, and most prized possession, you step into a world complicated by politics and revenge.

Tags: Unbeta’d, AFAB Reader, multiple OCs, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, enemy to friends to lovers/enemy lovers, slow burn, fake science, blood, violence, gore, body horror, cannibalism, uncle/nephew incest (implied), eventual smut, etc.

A/N: I’ve never read the books, so this is a combination of the Villeneuve films, the Dune Wiki, and a heavy dose of just making shit up lol. I try my best to make Reader as nondescript as possible, but there are mentions of having periods and body hair in later chapters. As a warning up front, this will not have a Happily Ever After ending, but maybe more like Happy For Now?

Please mind the tags; this is very dark, but that comes with the territory.

Chapter Five: White Poison

Previous Chapter ⦾ Next Chapter

“He is staring again.”

You did not need to turn to see who. “Pretend he’s not there.”

“It is distracting .” 

“Then come here and busy your hands.”

Rho huffed, but complied. Crouching beside you, she offered up her open palms and let you drop the collected samples into her hands. 

You inspected her out of the corner of your eye as she stuffed the inkvine and pilingitam samples into her satchel—her dark gaze still on the unwanted party standing only a few paces away.

The sun overhead bleached all color from the hands that dug into the soil. Sweat dripped down your face as you and your workers toiled in a small plot of land, your sun blocking glasses slipping down your nose from the effort. 

How Rho and the other Gammuen were able to work in this blinding heat was a mystery. Even looking up at the cloudless sky was impossible, its sunlight coming from all directions. The barren land was several kilometers from the fortress, but looked to be from another planet. Monochrome covered the world in an otherworldly blanket. The mouth-covering cloth you wore to subdue the smell did almost nothing, the polluted and sour air making your lip curl.

After the Atreides fell, the fortress was a flurry of activity. Slaves whispered at every corner, guards moved from one post to the next, the Harkonnen Court was in endless meetings, and the Baron was noticeably absent. In its hunger for power, it was evident that the House will eat and destroy anything in its path to achieve absolute victory. 

The good House has fallen, and fear was its replacement.

I just finished the new chapter of corrupted by design and I LOVE YOU. THIS IS EVERYTHING FOR ME.

Aaaaa thank you so much!!! This message really brightened my day, particularly since this year has been so tough already ❤️ LOVE YOU TOO!!

[icedb1ackcoffee]

I absolutely love your Jared and kim fic!! Last chapter had me kicking my feet all giddy at them finally kissing!! I'm hoping to read more soon. Thank you for your amazing writing!

AAAA ty!!! honestly the build up to that kiss was one of my favorite things. i love yearning and slow burn hahaha. writing it at her ex's house party AFTER she was already kissed by said ex was such an interesting thing to explore and i'm glad you enjoyed it!

i have picked away at the next chapter here and there, but an update won't be anytime soon, unfortunately. as i mentioned in the previous ask, i'm really proud of Leverage and there's so much I learned about myself and my writing style when I wrote it between 2020-2023. once i'm done with my current Dune fic, I might pick it up and at least attempt to finish it!! thank you so much for reading and for your comment

[icedb1ackcoffee]

Hi I’m so sorry if this is weird but I found your Jared/Kim fic and absolutely love it, it’s sometimes hard to find good twilight fanfic that is ongoing and I binge read it in one day I was obsessed! Thanks for writing it 😄😄

ty so so much for your message!! and for reading my objectively very derivative and self-indulgent twilight fanficiton 🤣❤️ jared and kim's story has always been an interest of mine and I'm so glad that it's found new readers! it's been over a year since I updated it, and I'm not sure if or when I would post the next chapter. but I have to say that I'm really proud of Leverage and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

coming out of my desolate and crumbling castle to say I watched Egger’s Nosferatu and think you should, too

[icedb1ackcoffee]

“they tried to kill each other” yes and? do you have a problem with true love

[icedb1ackcoffee]

The problem w writing fiction is that you'll be like tee-hee I'm going to write a story about a fucked up little scenario that's got nothing to do with anything in real life, just some pure messed up nonsense, and then you finish it and take a step back and go aw rats I made a metaphor again

She wanted to scream, but a person who is alone—alone in the absolute sense of the word—does not scream out her despair; it is useless. Deserts do not hear. But she can do things with her hands which even a desert must notice. She can tear at the sand until the desert bleeds.

do you have any fucked up fics (feyd related or not 🤭) you’ve enjoyed recently? you’re a great author so i trust your taste in other great authors 🤩

okay soooo of course I have to shout out @inkwingsinc's fic, bit my gun with my black-gold gums (which, if you haven't read yet, just call off work now because you WILL LOSE SLEEP reading this divine fic!!!). it is genuinely one of the best writing i've ever read, and the plot/characters/story are so unique and carefully thought through. it's like, god-tier. ink is a treasure, and we are blessed to have this absolute GIFT !

the first feyd x reader fic I read was @peggyao3's fic, preyd, which i still go back and re-read because it just hits. Every. Time. Peggy also has so many more Feyd fics that leave me drooling, and I force myself not to read them all because I *will* devour them all too quickly.

@luminnara also has a great collection of feyd fics, including my personal fave, gladiator!

i also really really enjoyed @sansaorgana's thrown to the wolves fic!!!

if you want something else in the dune-universe, i HIGHLY recommend fleshed in the wife by @thefudge. it's paul x irulan and is INCREDIBLE.

(idk if all of them will be the level of "fucked up" you're hoping, but considering they are all feyd fics, well.... they're all naturally a tad fucked up. i just know that there are a lot of fics out there that I've enjoyed that I'm blanking on. if I've comment on their fic, chances are I enjoyed it and I just have terrible memory.)

tbh i really try not to read a whole lot of feyd fics, especially right now, because i don't want to worm its way into my own ideas/writing, so those are the main ones I've enjoyed!!!

also, if you want fic recs outside of that, trust that I read a lot of...ahem. Weird shit? basically anything in my bookmarks on AO3 are what I consider to be the crème de la crème, particularly this venom x reader fic collection by @snarky-badger or this pennywise x reader fic (yes, really.) i re-read both at least once a year. (currently, i mostly read trad/indie books more than fic, so if you or anyone else wants any recs, let me know that too!)
