    Summary

    Feyd thought of the rows and rows of attack thopters, descending from the sky into his home, legions of Harkonnen foot soldiers waving the Ram-headed Griffin; an arrow through an eye, his mother, going violently to her knees, his people, put to sword. He was one man, a boy of ten, without home or coin or allies. He was being handed a gift, one he would not waste.

    Or: Feyd escapes from Lankiveil, the night of the Baron's attack, and hides his identity as he trains to be an assassin in the seedy underbelly of Caladan. There, he meets Paul. This is a story of what happens after.

    Summary

    Feyd—well. People think that Paul has actually changed him, despite his moods, just because Feyd has saved the lives of more than one and more than ten Fremen. Paul knows, though, that there is no love, not even a little bit of care for them in Feyd’s heart. If them being alive didn’t make Paul happy, Feyd would hunt them for sport just to spice up a boring evening. The only moments that Feyd actually relaxes are when Paul destroys all his walls and pushes him to the ground.

    Of course, that’s the part that Paul is not actually prepared to discuss with his mother.

    Or, back in Caladan, Jessica is suspicious, Feyd doubtful, and Paul has to mediate to keep his guardian on check.

    Summary

    They consider this a sport? A game? It's more like a dance. The bull is tiring, but the bull-leaper is as graceful as ever. A sheen of sweat covers his chest and back, but he remains poised, elegant—what strength there must be in that lithe body!

    Feyd wants him. He wants him more than he's ever wanted anyone in his entire life. This entire marriage will be worth it if he can leave with this bull-dancer as his concubine. A room in the pleasure wing, near Feyd's quarters. If he wants to perform still, then Feyd will have a Salusan bull brought to Giedi Prime. The gladiatorial arena would be the perfect stage for him—how could the paltry cheers of this crowd compare to the entire populace of Harko, roaring in admiration?

    ---

    With the emperor brokering a marriage alliance between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, Feyd-Rautha is sent to Caladan to meet his intended. The night before, in search of entertainment, he watches a display of bull-leaping and becomes enthralled with a bull-leaper with dark curls and green eyes.
