my lord.

all the skeletons you hide ,

show me yours ,

and i'll show you mine.

-

all the bad dreams you hide ,

show me yours.

-

maellana shirenson

daughter of stellena atreides and duke raemon shirenson.

-

feyd-rautha harkonnen

son of emmi harkonnen and abulurd harkonnen.

-

at the age of 2 maellana was received by duke leto atreides and lady jessica after her mother and father were taken by a fever that broke out in their village.

before the birth of paul, if he were to be a girl, he was to be married to feyd-rautha. paul was not a bride, and the only bride to offer was maellana.

feyd and maellana were promised to each other at the age of 2 and 4.

married at 16 and 18.

lovers bounded by a promise, kept together by a force.

a force neither could stop.

"paul is not my brother by blood, but he is nothing but," maellana says, just as feyd-rautha makes his way into their shared chambers.

feyd moves closer to her, bending onto his knees in front of where she sits, "oh little one, blood is the most important thing in this galaxy, you know this."

"he is my family."

"no he was, we are family now, we vowed before the gods, we are family, i protect you, you protect me." maybe he was right, maellana thought, maybe he was all she needed.

-

love in war is not a feeling, it is no more than a familiarity.

feyd-rautha was familiar.

-

"but i always knew that in the end, no one was coming to save meso i just prayed, and i keep praying and praying and praying"

sun bleached flies; ethel cain.
