Before Thufir Hawat, Mentat Master of Assassins became the most gifted Master in the Imperium, he had to learn how to navigate his own feelings. As one who praised logic and mental fortitude above all else, this proved hard, if not impossible. Until he went to the Ixian School for Mentats. He found friendship, intellectual stimulation...and love. His first love. And his last.

This story is based primarily on Dune. It treats the novel as a biography written by Princess Irulan. Paul has a secret older brother named James whose existence and death was hidden from the galaxy to allow Paul to rise to power. It treats Frank Herbert's novels as canon, but not those written by others. This is fan fiction. Copyrights belong to the owners of the Dune franchise.

Set during God Emperor of Dune. Nunepi claims he's innocent of trying to assassinate Emperor Leto. Leto decides to interrogate him in a more personal way

This is how Dune 7 should have been - not the hackjob that Brian and Kevin wrote. Written in the memory of Frank Herbert, and to honor his legacy. Now includes other Dune drabbles inspired from the original Dune novels.

AU. Things break along their fracture lines. (Or: Leto II lives. The universe changes - slightly).

House Atreides is becoming far too powerful for House Corrino to control. Fortunately Shaddam IV isn't a moron, so he sees the obvious solution to this very serious problem. And he doesn't intend to ally with the Harkonnen.

Leto II finds that he can not sleep, so he decides to take a walk. This is my first fanfiction, so please review!

PAUL THE DOG IS THE NEW BLACK THE ACROSTIC POEM OF READING GAOL

A maid ponders the change in leadership and thinks on her view of the one who seized power. Introspective one-shot, OC-centric. For the Obscure Fandom Challenge.

Dune Abridged... Fifty Shades of Sand... A Fragment- In A Dream...

This story takes place between the events of God Emperor of Dune and Heretics of Dune. The Tleilaxu have discovered a strange ruin on a distant planet and they seek to regain their pre-scattering stature.

Poem: Even as Alia tightened her grip on Arrakis, all Ghanima could think of was her brother.

Arakkis. Dune. Pinky. Brain. Narf.

Poem: Irulan dressed akin to the butterfly. Yet the cocoon of House Corrino remained around her.

"A young Chani is just now realizing her potential in the skill of the Fremen. Though head-strong and rebellious despite the restrictions place on her by the Elders, her skills are far from mastered, and still weak. This may cause problems when a particular Fremen psychopath from a neighboring tribe gets the jump on her."

Paul looks at Alia for what he knows is the last time, and longs to tell her the truth. He knows he won't, and despairs. One-shot.

Missing scene for after the assassin's attempt on Paul. Paul and his father both meet, along with his mother.

Frankly I never bought it that Lady Jessica's entire decision to defy her order was based on simple love for her duke and knowledge that he wanted a son. Lady Jessica is too smart and the decision to pivotal for that. I have taken liberties with some pre-Dune speculations but this is what would make sense to me. I own nothing except the randomly named Desho Lek.

Pardot Kynes hangs out with a Fremen.

"Irulan sighed and hopped in the car. The librarian called again. Paul fell asleep again." A modern!au OS set between Dune and Dune Messiah. Irulan meets Stilgar for the first time.

If House Atreides weren't a bunch of morons, things might have turned out quite differently.

Sihaya: Fremen word for the desert springtime with religious overtones implying the time of fruitfulness and "the paradise to come."

He would drown in this desert spring if he could.

This short story I wrote in 2007 when I searched for some literature with House Ordos (from the computer games and the Dune Encyclopedia) in it and could not find it. Mentat Ammon is a very greedy and opportunistic man who has just been recruited by the mysterious House Ordos.

How did we get from now to the Dune Universe? Here is a brief timeline that will show what happened.
