    Summary

    "Poison was her element of life. With that rich perfume of her breath, she blasted the very air. Her love would have been poison!--her embrace death! Is not this a marvellous tale?" - Rappaccini's Daughter, Nathaniel Hawthorne

    Had fate taken another direction, the daugher of Fengxian and Lakan might have lived a very different life.

    Summary

    "I don't feel the need to put my tailor and shoemaker out of business in order to demonstrate my recognition of the danger the world is presently facing, Mr. Reese, nor have I considered it appropriate to drink myself to death and save the kaiju the trouble. If that's really the best thing you can imagine doing, I'll leave you to it; if on the other hand you'd be interested in contributing more productively to the defense effort, I can offer you a chance to do so."

    Summary

    Bran’s eyes flashed amber, just briefly, just enough to warn her that he was close to an edge. “Well, I exiled my wife and mate to a realm beyond my purview. You might have heard.”

    Summary

    Ever since she’d been small, Hermione’s reward for good marks had been a rampage through a bookshop, so the day she tore open her O.W.L.s results and triumphantly brandished the eleven Outstandings, her beaming mother said, “We’ll go to Foyles tomorrow,” without any discussion required.

    Summary

    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.”

    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.
