Summary
The whales are there for only a few minutes, surfacing once more and then never coming back up as the light fades to an inky black night, nothing but the ship's lights creating a halo of visibility around them. Winter clouds above, there are no stars to differentiate the sky from the sea. It's a cold, unsettling feeling, and John’s hairs are rising on the back of his neck, Alice rolling over waves he can’t even see. A speck of life dropped off the end of the world.
“Entering the crab grounds now, boys. Everybody on deck to load those pots and drop ‘em down.”

An au posed by the simple question: What if you took the enduring love of John and Gale and combined it with the hit 2005 show Deadliest Catch.Bookmarked by MirrorLe

Summary
“I succumbed to the lure of the oracle, he thought.
And he sensed that succumbing to this lure might be to fix himself upon a single-track life. Could it be, he wondered, that the oracle didn't tell the future? Could it be that the oracle made the future?”
― Frank Herbert, Dune MessiahTen years after losing Paul Atreides to Giedi Prime, Duke Leto accepts the invitation he never expected to receive: to attend the Hraknir of the children of Paul and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.
He expected to find a prison. A hostage. Perhaps a broken son, perhaps a forced consort, perhaps children raised by the enemy and still young enough to be saved in some way.
But Giedi Prime is not merely a prison. Paul is not merely a hostage. Feyd-Rautha is not merely the monster Caladan remembers. And their children are not merely Harkonnen children dressed for a barbaric rite.
Among artificial gardens, blood rites, games of power, Meishu protocols, five complete Kwisatz Haderachs, and a family too impossible to reduce to scandal, the Atreides discover that ten years preserve no one intact.
Paul lived.
Feyd built a house around him.Bookmarked by MirrorLe

Summary
John kills the engine and the lights and throws his arm up on the back of the bench seat, an open invitation Gale doesn’t accept just yet.
“This gonna be the kind of film I think it is, John?”
“Uh-huh. Double feature.” Gale shoots him a look that makes John raise his hands in surrender, though he keeps his elbow planted up on the back of the seat, hand just above Gale’s shoulder. “Hey, we can leave anytime you want, doll. Up to you.”
“We gonna have to be careful here?”
“No.”
Gale nods, takes another look at the scatterings of people already parked up and ready, at the people wandering around the lot between the cars, bending down to chat through open windows, heading up to the entrance to get snacks or heading back to their spots with their hands already full. It’s clear enough John means it — all Gale can see is trousers and jeans, men like them and men like the kind who always flock to John at their bar when they go, slim and soft-skinned with long, feathered hair and with that little sway in their hips like they’ve never had to worry about what that says to everyone around them, and every single one of them perfectly at ease.
