    Summary

    Benson works his hand over his own face, fingers shaking as they smooth his mustache down. “I– if you get in that car, it’s– we’ll have to keep running,” he says hoarsely. “They’re gonna keep looking for me.”

    “For us.” Randy nods, his heart in his throat. He doesn’t think he’s ever felt the wind so keenly against his skin, doesn’t think the wet pavement has ever smelled so sweet, doesn’t think Benson’s eyes have ever been so blue. Everything feels electric, like the air before a thunderstorm. “I know. I don’t care. I don’t want to stay in this town any longer, anyway.”

    “You mean it?”

    “Yeah.” He’s never meant anything before, he thinks. He means this.

    Benson starts to smile, then, wild and sharp. “Alright. Let’s get out of here.”

    They leave together. They get ten months, two weeks, and four days.

    Summary

    Dave Bowman is calm. He’s not upset. He’s not panicking. He’s calmly, efficiently making his way to the ship’s logic core.

    There is horror threatening to seep in around the edges. He’s in an airless ship with three dead astronauts and an insane computer. He just jettisoned Frank’s body into the depths of space. He’s a hundred million miles from home, and the communication antenna is broken.

    But Dave has a simple objective. He’s going to get to the logic core and disconnect HAL.

    Or, a non-traditional love story between an AI and the human he once tried to kill.

    Summary

    “So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”

    Frank groans.

    “Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”

    or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.

    Summary

    Fuck,” Feyd-Rautha said, rutting against him. He was pawing at Paul’s robes, tearing them apart haphazardly as he bent to find Paul’s cock. “What—”

    “Shut up,” Paul gasped, dragging him down. “This is — oh — your fault—”

    Or: An old Bene Gesserit sex collar forces Feyd and Paul together.

    Summary

    The wind has picked up with the setting of the sun, just enough to allow Gurney to speak without interrupting the closing fanfare, still facing forward.

    “You alright there, Idaho?” he asks dispassionately. “You’re twitchy.”

    “I’m not twitchy,” he grits. “I’m just looking forward to getting out of dress greens. And being done staring at boats.”

    “Ships,” Gurney responds indignantly.

    “And something is blooming in the air out here,” Duncan adds unnecessarily. “It’s making me itch.”

    Gurney hums in assent.

    “Yes. I, too, hate it when my hayfever gives me a 90-minute erection while staring at fishing trawlers,” he deadpans.
