Summary
The threads the Bene Gesserit weave are intricate and ever enduring, schemes within schemes, contingencies within contingencies.
Jessica gives birth to a son instead of a daughter despite explicitly given orders. It should have altered the path forced upon her, the sacrifice that was to be made of her child in the hands of a brutal and violent house. Instead her choice triggers a dormant Bene Gesserit gene engineering not witnessed for millennia.
—o0o—
Paul can feel himself hyperventilating, mind spinning from the sheer implications of everything he has just heard.
“The Reverent Mother instructed me explicitly. We were to let him touch you. It was a curious sight, the way he held you, almost despite himself…so incongruously gentle for such a brutal creature.” She nearly smiles and Paul shakes with the sudden urge to snarl in her face. “Your fever broke. You settled calm for the first time in weeks.”
“This is a lie-“
“You are connected now. A change has been triggered in you and in the Na-Baron Harkonnen as well. The Reverent Mother says it is in your blood. There is no cure for it.”

Summary
He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.
He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”
Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
***
In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.Series

Summary
He might be a child in age but he wasn’t one in the eyes of the Atreides - and even less, in those of the Bene Gesserit. His mother had created him for that purpose and, Paul was starting to think, with bitterness - for that purpose alone.

Summary
The second Feyd alights from the thopter, the unforgiving heat slaps him across the face. Sand swirls around his ankles as he hurries towards his new present, looming high against the hot blue sky. One of his presents anyway. Each breath is scorchingly painful, sitting heavy on his chest like a boot. Feyd bares his teeth in a grin, welcoming the punishing weather. Reveling in the discomfort.
———
The Bene Gesserit’s careful plan will not be thwarted.

Plans within plans, was the Bene Gesserit saying. Underneath, was another message: unexpected outcomes are always a possibility, no matter how small they seem.
Paul should have known not to tempt fate.

“That’s my good boy, Ken. Just like that.”
That’s what Stewey says to Kendall whenever he takes a bump off his hand behind enough closed doors— but they didn’t meet doing bumps. They didn’t meet at a shareholder meeting, or at a business conference, or at a club, or some high-end drug deal.
This is the story of Stewy Hosseini and Kendall Roy and how insurmountably fucked-up everything is, and will be, forever.Bookmarked by goodside6667

Windshield wipers thudding rhythmically across the rain battered glass. The lights of the city beyond, streaks of color one way, then the next. That drumbeat of rain drops.
A well-paid driver, to take them aimlessly through the city. A few lines. Untouched bottle of champagne, because they had to have champagne, even if they never got to it.
“Ken…” Stewy breathed. His hand sought Kendall’s in the low light and Kendall gave it, letting Stewy hold it over his heart as Kendall delivered swift, deliberate thrusts. “…ah…”
