Second of two fics written for Consentfest 2012.

I'm sorry, the women wanted to have fun with this. I do take the subject seriously, however, even if Ruby doesn't.

(  Ruby breathed, 'You think Mr. Gold has sexually transmitted diseases? And a secret wife?' 'Um, that's really not what I meant,' Mary Margaret said. )

Fic: Water Crusade (Dune, gen-mildly-M/M, Paul, Feyd-Rautha)

This one was written for NYR for greekhoop. (I started it over Yuletide and got *this close* to finishing it, but ran out of time, and it got finished as part of this big fic push.)

( [Prompt from greekhoop:] )

Title: Water Crusade
Fandom: Dune (Frank Herbert)
Rating: PG-13 (for violence)
Characters: Paul Atreides, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen
Word count: 3152
Warnings: Major character death; same warnings for violence as for Dune itself.
Spoilers: Dune only.
Summary: AU: Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen meet five times before the events of Dune.
Notes: Thanks to ollipop for a lightning-fast beta! Nonconsensual/underage sex is referred to obliquely, but nothing is shown explicitly. Several paragraphs from the last scene are partially or wholly taken from the text of Dune. I have not read the prequels.

( 'I think that's why I'm comfortable with you,' Feyd said. 'Because we both know that we are enemies. Because we both know one of us will be killing the other.' )

It really seems odd that Irulan isn't in this (in the sense of, if this had occurred in the Dune universe she should really have been there), and if I had written this for a non-prompt, I might have tried harder to figure out how to get her in. Well, perhaps that's for another day, and perhaps another fic that isn't quite so fatalistic :)
