    Summary

    Paul froze. His lips paralysed against Feyd’s and the cold kiss of steel at his jugular.

    "How fitting." He thought to himself, strangely distant from the events that were currently unfolding, "That I should end my first kiss with a knife to my throat."

    “I did warn you.” Feyd breathed into his ear. It made every hair on Paul’s body stand on end. “Anything could happen.”

    *

    In a world of plans within plans, Paul craves the unknown. Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen offers that, the one blind spot in the endless sea of prescience, the one person who's path he cannot see. When every future is too painful to bear, he takes a risk on the only one he cannot know.

    Summary

    The dreams came along with the bad decisions, he thought he was being plagued with an intricate form of punishment for a few days, where all he saw was tempests of sand and destruction. The whole universe, all he knew and most of what he didn’t, wrecked by a war coming over the land like a torrid wind trailing the remnant of souls by the million.

    Then he started discerning faces, more like a face, a boy, close to his age, youth bared by worry. He’d seen him as a contorted horror, filled with too much destiny for his frail shoulders, in the previous dreams. But in those ones he was out of it, laying down seemingly next to Feyd himself, black curls covering the pillows. The vision was strangely peaceful, cultivating in him a strange feeling, like looking forwards to an unmarked day he only knew would come : hope.

    Summary

    In the years following the end of the kaiju war, there is political turmoil and international strife. The world is rebuilt from the ground up, social and economic upheaval disrupting every corner of the globe.

    This isn’t that story.

    This is the story of Chuck Hansen learning to drive a stick-shift, shotgun a joint, cook Thai food, fix a tractor, and cohabitate with the person he’s too stubborn to admit he’s pretty much in love with.

    Fortunately, Raleigh is a patient teacher.

    Summary

    At 25 years old, Yancy Becket dies reaching out, leaving behind a younger brother with his soul torn in half, and an unborn child who will never know his father.

    At 22 years old, Raleigh Becket finds himself newly discharged with a busted arm, a neat little description of PTSD and various other disorders he's probably been diagnosed with on his file, and a two month old baby. He's also well and truly at the end of his rope, his life dented by the impressions of those no longer there.

    Or

    How Raleigh Becket desperately tries to keep his head above water in a roiling sea of sorrow and depression threatening to drown him, and the only thing keeping him afloat is the little boy with Yancy's face who calls him "daddy".
