Dune 2024 Mini Bang Fic Reveals Round 3 - Final

here are the final round of fics and art for the 2024 Dune Mini Bang!

Intoxicating by @paganmindidnothingwrong with art by @xio2mara Paul Atreides / Jessica Atreides Rated E One-Shot

“The options are endless,” Paul smirked, a rare expression for him. “That’s the Bene Gesserit way: learn a thousand ways to kill a man and another thousand ways to pleasure him. They're directly related, are they not, Mother?" “The same dexterity, the same precision, the same intimacy that goes into loveplay also goes into violence— into killing. Nothing is closer than a clash of flesh, whether it may be violent or loving. The same knowledge you have of an opponent’s body can be used to pleasure a lover, just as it can be used to find the right place to strike and make their defenses shatter like glass."

TL;DR: Paul and Jessica share a sexually tense training session, intensified by his dreams of her and his own confusing feelings and desires. Inspired by glimpses of a deleted scene from Part One found in The Art and Soul of Dune.

a war in my name by @sageofgrace with moodboard by @zaldritzosrose Paul Atreides / Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen Rated M 1/2 Chapters

“Your life belongs to me now. You’ll die when I say you can, and no sooner.” Feyd turns his head to spit a globule of bloody saliva to the side, in a mockery of the Fremen gesture of respect. “You should know, your Majesty, I will not bend to your whims so easily. I won’t back down without a fight.” To his unease, Atreides’s grin only widens. “Oh cousin,” he laughs, “that’s what I’m counting on.” OR: Rather than killing Feyd-Rautha during their duel, Paul spares his life and gives him exactly what he needs: a reason to fight.

don't let soon come to late by @mousyatlas with art by @winterfellave Paul Atreides / Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen Rated E One-Shot

of hair follicles and selfish love by Chocolatebun with art by Ghost Paul Atreides / Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen Rated E 1/? Chapters

For the purpose of forming an alliance between the two great houses - Atreides and Harkonnen - a marriage between their two heirs is arranged. We follow both Paul and Feyd-Rautha during the few short meetings they've had while growing up, and later their life together as a married couple. Will they be able to coexist and form a bond despite their differences and the mutual distrust between their families? How will they adjust to their new life, when it can be so difficult to distinguish a friend from foe?

It's finally here! The Dune 2024 Mini Bang has reached it's conclusion and here are the first round of fics and art for your viewing pleasure!

Breaching Walls by @sleepstxtic with Art completed by @saathi1013

Chani Kynes / Irulan Corrino

Rated E Chapter 1/2

“No,” Liet said, and she felt her mouth quirk upwards, even as the princess looked back with wide, nervous eyes. “You, Princess Irulan, must court my daughter.” Or: Princess Irulan travels to Arrakis in secret, to broker peace between the Fremen and the Empire. She gets more than she bargained for.

each star's a pool of water (and with the dawn i’ll wake and yawn) by shrimpheaven and art by hmmBarkBark

Paul Atreides / Duncan Idaho

Rated E One-Shot

Shortly after moving thousands of miles across the American continent and into the somewhat-settled West of the Utah Territory, Paul unexpectedly finds himself at the helm of the Atreides Mining, Ore and Development Company. Contending with the grief of loss, the uncertainty of an unfamiliar and unforgiving new landscape, and his growing conflict and confusion about what his relationship with his mentor and friend - former Texas Ranger Duncan Idaho - means now that Paul has assumed his father's place in the world, Paul also finds himself haunted once again by nightmares of a presence calling to him from deep within the earth. or: Paul has to do too much maturing way too quickly, and he may sort of fall in love with Duncan somewhere along the way. Jessica and Alia regularly undertake Culty Actions.

Life Around the Event Horizon by @mrthology with art by @alexagirlie

Rated M One-Shot

As a child, long before Arrakis is a thought in anyone’s mind, Paul dreams. There is no Water of Life, no Reverend Mother, no Bene Gesserit training… just a screaming child who sees everything. Paul is far too young to understand what he sees and is petrified of the strange beings that skulk around in the corner of his eye, no matter what he does. His mother is terrified of, and for him, his father is protective and furious at his son’s fate, and, in the background, the mechanisms of Bene Gesserit never stop. Whispers of a powerful and strange child reach both the Reverend Mother and Emperor, no matter how hard House Atreides tries to stop them. — Or, the Bene Gesserit had no idea what they were toying with when they began crossing bloodlines and fooling with things they didn’t understand, and Paul is far more than they could have ever expected. For his part, Paul wants a break from it all, and Arrakis may just be that.

Dune Mini-Bang 2024 Snippet

It was a sumptuous evening affair at Kaitan Palace.  The entire known universe was celebrating the 10-year marriage anniversary of King Farad’n and King Consort Faisal.  They had moved their seat of power from Salusa Secundus to Kaitan.  

“Lady Irulan Cormac, Chief Executive Officer of U.L. Enterprises.”

Irulan approached the dais wearing sharp white trousers with a matching blazer, a lacey emerald green shirt underneath, matching emerald green kitten heels, and an emerald barrette in her perfectly coiffed short curls.  She bowed, smirking.  She then ascended the dais and into Farad’n’s jovial embrace.  

“Lady Chani Halleck, Daughter of Liet, Sayyadina of Sietch Libr, Sayyadina Consort Sir Gurney Halleck and family.

Holding Gurney’s arm, Chani offered up a shy bow.  In Kaitan Village, she had purchased soft violet Fremen-style robes made from Kaitan silk and a matching headscarf.  She wore her dress Fremen sandals.  Gurney wore his dress Atriedes uniform.  The younger children - thirteen-year-old Usul Leto, ten-year-old Ghanima, eight-year-old Liet, and the three-year-old twins Thufir and Bricha wore matching black tunics with violet waistbands that matched Chani’s robe.  Seventeen-year-old Alia refused to match her adoptive siblings.  A shimmering silver robe covered up her evening wear.  The older children had to hold onto the twins lest they scamper across the marble floor.  

Farad’n motioned and Ghanima ascended the dais.  She came to Farad’n and Faisal’s daughter, Lani - named for her birth mother Irulan.  They giggled and embraced. They had met at camp and were best friends.

Dune Mini Bang Sneak Peak #10

Title: Intoxicating

Pairing: Paul x Jessica

Author: @paganmindidnothingwrong

Their vocalizations merged together; physical exertion taking its toll on both of them. Jessica lunged for Paul, like a laza-tiger from his filmbooks, and as Paul threw her off himself, she pressed on; lifting herself onto his shoulders and holding his head in a leg-lock before spinning around and using the momentum to bring him to the floor, knee on his chest, hands holding his face, half-crouched over his body. Her ponytail came undone, allowing her hair to fall freely and mingle with Paul's own curls. “A hunter should know when to abandon the chase for dangerous prey.” She dug her knee deeper into him. “Ready to yield now, Paul?” In one swift motion, Paul seized her, rolling around on the floor with her until he had her pinned underneath him, her arms pinned next to her with his hands, legs wrapped in his, chest to chest, hair splayed out beneath her. They faced each other, finally out of breath, their muscles feeling soft and sore. “I don’t think I’ll be the one yielding today. The hunter came prepared.” Paul said in a low tone, breathlessly. “Do you yield, Lady Jessica?” They weren’t in any shape to continue. Paul was today’s victor. “I yield.”

Dusky sunrise filters into the well-appointed stagecoach where Paul sits, awake and introspective, upon a cushioned brocade bench across from his father. The interior lanterns remain unlit as the sky warms over the final miles of their journey into the Utah Territory.  Duncan Idaho rides his red dun mustang, Béxar, alongside the coach and its team of morgans, keeping an eye on the horizon. His long hair falls down his back, tied along its length with a leather thong in a familiar style he picked up in his time with the rangers in the spring of ‘36. All of Leto’s half-hearted attempts to domesticate - as Gurney often phrased it - his right-hand man have been mostly unsuccessful, and Paul supposes that they’ll be able to use a bit of that lingering ferity now more than ever.

Dune Mini Bang Sneak Peak #6

Title TBD

Ship: Feyd x Paul

Author @mrthology

“Do you hate me, Stilgar?”

Stilgar bit his tongue almost hard enough to draw blood to stop his instant and truthful denial. He’d never hated Paul, even when the boy arrived on Arrakis months ago, slipping into their lives like he had always been. Then, he'd seen Paul as a water-soft child. One with the potential to be more, but a child nevertheless. Now, Paul was everything. “Why would I hate you?” he asked after several moments of silence. Paul shrugged one slender shoulder, looking small and far too young in his sleep clothes. “I am my father’s son,” he said, a hint of steel in his voice. He met Stilgar’s eyes, blue on blue but with something deeper lurking in their unfathomable depths. “That will never change.” Stilgar observed Paul, the young man whom the Fremen had thought to be their Messiah but who was so much more. “No,” he agreed. "And it should not. You honour your blood.” Paul smiled, then, a thin thing, but an expression Stilgar read as genuine. “Yes,” Paul agreed. He fell silent, then, a pale statue in the night. Stilgar stepped closer, concerned despite himself. At this point, he had seen Paul in many states—the young boy running from a world that wanted too much from him, the child who had the desert in his blood, the Duke’s son who loved his family but shied away from his place in the sun. But this was different. Stilgar had never seen Paul like this.

2024 Dune Mini Bang Sneak Peak #5

Title: TBD

Ship: Feyd x Paul

Author: @mousyatlas

“Cousin,” Feyd-Rautha greeted. Paul slid his gaze to the side, saddling him with an impatient glare. “Training chamber,” he ordered. His jaw tightened when Feyd didn’t immediately scamper inside. “Now.” Great. Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Baron of Arrakis and overseer of the spice harvest, turned on his heel and trailed after Paul, following orders like a trained beast. The thought stirred in him. He revered Paul to the point of his own undoing. What Paul commanded, Feyd would see through to the end. But the implication that he was shackled — collared — still soured his stomach on occasion. The moment Paul had skewered Vladamir, ownership was passed to him. Feyd became a belonging, a tool, an unwalked fateline. There was comfort in that. There was rage in it too. Paul unclipped his cloak and tossed it aside as he entered the training chamber. “Close the door.” Feyd did as he was told. The stone door slid shut behind him. “Muad’Dib — " “You slaughtered another Fedaykin.” “He was not loyal.” “Are you?” Feyd narrowed his eyes. The question was a knife to his sternum. “You’re brave today.” “Me?” Paul laughed. Cruelty laced the sound. “If you don’t adapt to the desert, it will take you from me,” he hissed, scrubbing a hand over his face. “Chani wanted to confront you herself — " “You should’ve let her.” “Oh, give her the opportunity to kill you? Sure.” “I assumed you wouldn’t allow it. I stand corrected.” “That’s the difference between you and Chani,” Paul said, exasperated. “I trust you wouldn’t kill the woman I love, but I can’t trust she wouldn’t kill you. You love me enough to spare me her death; Chani loves Dune enough to rob me of you if she thought it served our people.” Feyd turned the statement over in his mind. He tongued at the scar tissue on the inside of his cheek, leftover from years spent chewing at himself. “The Fedaykin spoke against you, Muad’Dib. I followed my instinct.” “The reason my Fedaykin speak out is because they don’t trust the leadership I’ve installed,” Paul said, unwrapping the headscarf and tossing it onto his pebbled cloak. “And I can’t blame them. You fight like a Harkonnen.” “I am a Harkonnen.” “As am I.” Paul unsheathed his crysknife and gestured to Feyd with it, glancing the tip down his body with a wave. “I learned the desert by becoming Fremen. You’ll learn the desert because I’ll teach you.” A laugh hiccupped in Feyd’s throat. “Paul — " “You will always be my gladiator, but I can show you how to earn their respect. You’re lethal. You’re ruthless and you fight with honor. I know that. Let me teach you how Fremen fight.” He paused, beckoning Feyd with a wave. “Let me show you the way.”

Title: TBD

Ship: Chani x Irulan

Author: @sleepstxtic

“I have come,” Chani said tentatively, “to offer succour.” “Have you?” Irulan asked. She stepped behind the vanity screen and undid the string of her bodice. The light was casting shadows against the screen. It had grown so quiet she thought Chani might have left, and slipped into her night shift before stepping back out; but Chani was still there, standing, arms folded uncertainly over her chest. Irulan was aware, suddenly, of the breeze that coursed through the room, the faint glowglobes that twinkled, casting strips across the floor and Chani’s skin. Her own night shift was thin, a slip of satin, with string-thin sleeves meant to be covered by blankets. Her hair was loose and messy. Chani was, by contrast, sharp and put together, still in her Fedaykin uniform, only without the stillsuit, hair pulled back into a tight bun. “I have acted uncharitably,” Chani said quietly. “You were invaluable today.” Irulan turned away. She raised a hand to her shoulder, the juncture of her neck, pressing down at the ache that had built. And the next moment she felt, rather than heard, Chani come up behind her, fingers ghosting over her skin. “Here?” Irulan could not move. “What?” “Here,” Chani repeated. “Is this where it hurts?” The pads of her fingers pressed harder on Irulan’s shoulders, and it was a welcome pressure, pleasurable, and Irulan could not bear to give it up. She felt her posture loosen, tension bleeding out as Chani kneaded into her back with rhythmic, gentle care. And it was — it was painfully good. “Ohhh,” Irulan exhaled, eyes closed. “There, I — there.”

Title: Like a Slow Blade

Ship: Paul x Feyd, Paul & Gurney

Author: @jolinarjackson on AO3 or tumblr

Paul was looking at a treaty. He had never signed one before, but he had seen plenty of them pass over his father’s desk. Paul’s eyes flew over the page, widening in disbelief when he realized what exactly he was looking at. He raised his head to glare at Vladimir. “I’m not signing this.” Vladimir remained calm. “You are distraught. I will give you a moment to reconsider.” Paul's eyes quickly shifted towards Gurney and the other remaining soldiers of his House. They were looking back at him, their faces grim. Gurney raised an eyebrow, questioning. Paul decided to let him in on what was happening. “This,” he said, “is a kanly treaty. You want me to give up my fiefdom, my CHOAM shares, my…” He paused, reading the last paragraph again. “You expect me to join your House as a ward?” “Since marriage is not an option.” Pushing the treaty away, Paul replied, “Becoming your ward would not be much better than becoming your prisoner of war.” “Your men are prisoners of war,” Vladimir replied. “You, on the other hand, would be taken in as a responsibility of my House. I already have a ward, my nephew Feyd-Rautha. He is sixteen, right around your age. You’ll get along well. And you will be provided with all the necessary comforts.” Paul glared at him. “You’re turning me into a glorified hostage.” “A reminder,” Vladimir corrected.

Title TBD

Ship: Paul x Chani

Author: Shannonxl on AO3 or @shamwowxl

“Do what you think is right,” Chani said, not meaning for the words to hurt, but not minding when she sensed that they did. Paul didn’t speak to her for the rest of the night. When they went to bed, he kept distance between them, as much as possible on their shared cot in the tent, and Chani told herself that this was what she wanted. As she lay in bed, she did her nightly tallies, counting the names of the dead. All of those she had lost since she’d joined the struggle. It began with her father, always, a hazy face she barely remembered and a laugh that had rattled her bones. It ended with those that had fallen when the Fremen overtook Arrakeen. In her heart, it ended with Usul.
