Summary
Feyd-Rautha's gaze sharpened. He took hold of Paul's wrist, his thumb and middle finger meeting as he squeezed it. "About?"
"I asked if I could see a sandworm," Paul replied.
"They are difficult to kill."
The na-Baron received a frown and an imperiously arched eyebrow from his husband. "To see one, I said. Not to kill it."
"Is that all? Then what's the issue?" Now Feyd-Rautha's attention returned to Liet. "There are plenty of sandworms in the desert. Those sandcrawlers certainly spend enough time avoiding them. My husband wishes to see one."

Summary
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen cited an ancient law that stated due to the rarity of omegas, an eligible alpha—meaning unmarried, unmated, and of the same social class as their intended—had the right to court an eligible omega. This meant that his nephew, the na-Baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, had the right to Paul's attention despite the official and long-standing enmity between House Atreides and House Harkonnen.
The Landsraad discussed it among themselves with all the gravity of a trade dispute or military action.
The alpha had the right, they decided.
Paul's father, in a dark rage and after intense consultation with his Mentat Thufir Hawat, had answered with another ancient law: the alpha would be muzzled.

Summary
Feyd-Rautha wore an odd expression, his full mouth twisting as he asked, "This was not an invitation for you to...?"
"There are those of us in the Landsraad who take our oaths seriously," said Paul. "Why did you assume that Count Devon's letter was for me?"
Feyd-Rautha wrapped his arms around Paul's waist, pulled him close so they were nearly nose-to-nose. "Only a fool would look at you and pine for another."
---
Arranged Marriage AU. Feyd questions Paul over a note he received.

Summary
It is an idle, unconscious gesture—like brushing a lock of hair from one's face, or readjusting a cloak thrown around the shoulders.
Diarmuid kisses him.
Well, not him exactly. His hand, to be more precise.

Summary
He splits the plum open, plucks the pit from the center and sets it on the tabletop, then quarters the fruit. The flesh is a deep red, and soft. Feyd can see Paul's nails digging into it, how the juice—as dark and red as the flesh—runs down Paul's fingers. He brings a quarter to his mouth. There is a brief flash of his white teeth before the plum is consumed. His tongue, shockingly pink, runs across his lips to swipe at the juice that clings there.

Summary
It is said in the days after Paul Atreides was stolen away from Caladan that Duke Leto Atreides and the Lady Jessica bewailed that the Emperor had ever requested those of the Landsraad, all of the Great Houses, Major and Minor, to attend him at Kaitain, for it was there that Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen first saw their son and connived to have him. The Harkonnen's plan bore fruit three years later, when, after celebrations for Paul Atreides's coming of age, the heir to the storied and honorable House was kidnapped and brought to Giedi Prime, whereupon the na-baron declared him his husband and mate.

Summary
They do not speak. There is no pillow talk, no sweet nothings whispered in Paul's ear, no murmured dreams for the future. Feyd-Rautha simply holds him, one arm slung across Paul's torso. His fingers stroke the side of Paul's ribs. Paul allows him this—this intimacy.
Or is it merely an act of possession? Feyd-Rautha keeping hold of what he considers his?
Is there a difference? Paul wonders.

Summary
The upper body of Feyd's sparring partner slumps to the safety of the mat, and Feyd unceremoniously drops the rest of him to the floor, legs deadweight. Feyd spits out a black mouthguard and says, mocking, "Good effort."
Someone hands him a towel. Feyd wicks the sweat from his face, his bare, glistening chest, and then he raises his head and his gaze finds Paul's.

Summary
Paul looks very much like his mother. And the Lady Jessica, the bound-concubine of Duke Leto of Caladan, is renowned throughout the Imperium for her great beauty! It disturbs Leto to know that Paul has also taken after Jessica in this way, that there are men who Leto has known since he was a young man who have aspirations—desires—for his son, now of marriageable age.
Bad enough that the young nobles stare at Paul like a pack of starving wolves at a lost lamb. Now he has to watch his own peers slavering over him as well.
---
Leto is extremely displeased to find that many in the Landsraad consider Paul a catch.

Summary
She has brought her zither, but thus far the only music that as accompanied them are bird calls and water buffalo lows and the distant sound of work songs as the peasants tend to the rice fields.
Leto approaches her, asks, "My Lady, will you play something?"
"Of course," Jessica says with a smile and an inclination of her head. "Does the Duke have a request?"
He does not; he only wishes to hear her play. "As your heart desires."
---

Summary
Diarmuid is aware of anatomy, of sinew and muscle, of the way God crafted man, but now he is aware in a completely different way.

---

Summary
"Did you enjoy yourself tonight?" asks Leto as he slips underneath the covers.
Jessica takes her time answering. It amuses him that she gives equal and careful consideration to any question regardless of its topic or importance, and so she continues to do so. She replies, "The tea was quite good."
He groans, rubbing his hand across his face. "Is that all?"
---

with the kisses of his mouth by EnduringParadox

Summary
It was not the first kiss that surprised him, for it had been everything Paul had expected from Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen—heated, and hungry, and triumphant. The subsequent kisses, however, were entirely astonishing. Paul had not thought there would be subsequent kisses, and the ones that he received were—of all things—tender.
---
Paul wonders at Feyd-Rautha's interest in kissing him.

Summary
Feyd-Rautha's voice went dangerously soft. He was very still, entire body tense; Paul suspected that he was keeping himself in check so as to not shake with rage. "What reason could you have had to not attend my match? I had been looking forward to seeing you there. You have not disappointed me before." He tilted his head to one side, a predator eyeing his prey. "So, a factor out of your control must have prevented your presence, yes? You felt ill?"
"I chose not to go, rather than be insulted," said Paul.
His husband growled, baring his blackened teeth. "What insult?"
---
Arranged Marriage AU. Paul misses Feyd's gladiatorial match and Feyd demands an explanation.

A Lock of Hair by EnduringParadox
Fandoms: Dune - All Media Types, Dune (Movies - Villeneuve)
06 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Paul has hair everywhere—though he is not obscenely hairy like so many other Caladanin men. It is apparently a sore point that he cannot grow a beard; why he would ever want to is a mystery to Feyd. He enjoys the fine hairs on Paul's cheeks—peach fuzz, he thinks it's colloquially called—but it would be a shame not to be able to see the sharpness of his jaw, the angles of his face. The hair on his head is dark and curly and falls just above his shoulders, and once or twice Feyd has twirled a lock around his finger and watched Paul watch him with curiosity.
---
Feyd really enjoys Paul's hair.

Summary
The Harkonnen's expression shifted like the scales of a coiling snake. He tilted his head to one side, staring at Gurney with an unblinking, unwavering gaze. He asked, "Do you wish it was you?"
Gurney scoffed. "What are you on about?"
"You've served the Duke of Caladan so loyally for decades," said Feyd-Rautha. "Do you think you deserve his son's affections?" He stepped closer, hissed, "Do you wish to have his lips on that ugly, scarred face of yours?"
---
Feyd-Rautha misinterprets Gurney's relationship with Paul. Gurney realizes some unpleasant truths about the na-Baron's upbringing.

Summary
Paul watches Earl Bertille slosh red wine onto the tablecloth—their hostess's nostrils flare—looks aside at Feyd-Rautha and sees him staring at the Earl with an unconcealed sneer, and, feeling grateful for having been given in marriage to a man with some discipline and self-respect at least, slides his hand along Feyd-Rautha's firm thigh and gives it a squeeze.
His husband turns to him with a questioning glance. Paul smiles, and means to convey, What a display this is! With everything that we are, at least we're not like that!
Feyd-Rautha responds with a slight tilt of his head and a small upturn of the corners of his mouth before returning to their meal.
---
Arranged Marriage AU. At a dinner party, Paul compares his husband to the other guests.

Summary
"Hello, Gurney!" said Paul. "Would you like to join us for tea?" His hand hovered near the sugar tongs.
At another time, he would have accepted. The heir to a Great House needed an education beyond war—deportment and courtesy were important parts of politicking. But he was here for another matter entirely. Gurney squared his shoulders. He said, "Paul, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer me honestly."
The boy nodded.
"Did you put sand in my bed?"
Paul nodded once more and said, proudly, "Yes!"
---
Pre-canon, Gurney POV. When he finds sand in his bed, Gurney knows just who the culprit is.
