    Summary

    There is a single wavering moment in which it is just the three of them - Chani, Paul and his betrothed. As the world around her shakes and blurs, she looks into the eyes of the only boy she’s ever loved and she knows.

    She knows that there is no going back, not for him or her. She knows that she lost him the moment they crossed the storm. Chani knows in the way she knew her mother was dead, that Paul is lost to her.

    (His dreams turned reality, except she cannot draw him from his nightmares, from his sobs and cracking voice, from the hollowness in his eyes. He is gone. He is gone.)

    But her people are alive, and she has never been fighting for this devastatingly lovely boy. So Chani falls to her knees, slowly and steadily, and when she lowers her head, it feels like the end of everything.

    -

    (In which Chani’s mother taught her that there was no shame in surviving in whatever way you could. Or Chani bends the knee to Paul and plays the long game for her people.)

    Summary

    “And how is married life suiting you, my dears?” Jo inquires in an affected, elder sisterly tone when they’re visiting one day, patting Amy’s leg where she sits by her side and twinkling at Laurie lounging loose-limbed on the adjacent sofa like the boy he is no longer.

    “ ‘Tis a plague and a burden, but I endure it as I must,” Laurie sighs, resting the back of his hand upon his forehead.

    Amy pinches her lips together to hide the smile she knows he’s after — if she makes him work for it, he will appreciate it more when it comes.

    “We get along quite well together,” Amy says calmly.

    Summary

    This is no dumb animal, Paul realizes with a sudden chill.

    'Who are you, little mouse,' the susurrations of the waiting worm seem to say. 'You are no child of my desert. What manner of creature are you that enters my domain?'

    'I am no one, Great Maker,' his trembling fingers reply as they sink into the dusty grains beneath them. They grasp at the rough texture in desperation, in supplication before this desert god. 'I am lost. My family is gone, my people are scattered, and I, with them. Where do I go from here?'

     

    tldr; I prompted myself: 'ok cool cool but like, what if Paul could speak to sandworms?'
