DUST AND DEVILS ON MY CONSCIENCE Explicit. Fallout (2024). Cooper Howard | The Ghoul / Lucy MacClean

4,651 words. Telepathic bond AU, post season 1. SUMMARY: “Think something,” Lucy suggests, excitement and interest on her face. “We’ll call it a test.” Cooper looks at Lucy and scratches at his chin, using the very finger he stole from her. It tingles lightly as he considers the implications. You ever suck a man off, little lady? Lucy’s cheeks turn beet red as she tilts her chin up at him, embarrassment and curiosity melding in her eyes. “Enough to know what I’m doing,” she says defiantly. “And I’ve read all the manuals.

NOTES: Frankly, - I know exactly what I'm about and I make no apologies - Fallout 2024 knows what they did - Title from Chasing Twisters, a song by Delta Rae. Spoilers for all of season 1.

LOST IN THE CITADEL Explicit. Dune (2021). Paul Atreides/Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

11,011 words. AFAB Paul Atreides is forced to wed Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen after centuries of careful breeding by the Bene Gesserit falls into place.

SUMMARY: Lady Jessica, the royal concubine of Duke Leto and wife in all but name, bore her first child on January 1st, 10175. The Bene Gesserit were pleased with the result and considered Lady Jessica’s mission complete. But there was a great secret that House Atreides held during these first fragile years of the child’s life: though no one knew it at the time, Muad’dib Atreides had been brought into this world. The name Muad’dib was born with has been stricken from the interstellar record, and not a single scholar in present day knows what Duke Leto and Lady Jessica originally selected. What we do know is that by age three, Leto and Jessica started referring to Muad’dib as Paul. By the time Muad’dib turned five years of age, the Bene Gesserit knew that they had been fooled.  — From “Manual of Muad’dib” by the Princess Irulan NOTES: This fic has many content warnings, including: light transphobia from the Bene Gesserit, sexual coercion where The Voice is used during intimate scenes, dubcon, cousin incest (though in this AU the characters are unaware of their familial relationship), as well as breeding kink which frankly considering that this is the world of Dune seems like it should be a given. This is fully based off the movies, though I am reading the book now and thus have adapted the Irulan prefaces as a way to break up the story. I feel like there is a lot more to say about stories where Paul is AFAB, but when the idea struck me I could not let it go. Please enjoy.

I like imagining the policy changes to Nasa after Mark Watney's extended stay on Mars. Used to have 4 independent communication methods? Make it 8. Send enough food for 3 years now. Send so much duct tape. The rover needs to be able to recover from being rolled. The air locks between the rover, HAB and pop tents should all be interchangeable.

Also potatoes. I fully believe that every manned mission after The Martian will include potatoes, for sentimental reasons. I am equally sure that Mark absolutely hates that fact.

#i can just imagine tho all the new rules they had to make bc of that and some new recruit looking at them like there are so oddly specific#and weird. why do i have to do x? and someone in charge is like bc you just gotta. and it's basically a thing that if anyone complains#ppl are like look we didn't do this before and then poor mark had to figure it out the hard way and every time someone is out there#wondering why certain rules exist everyone else is just like 'bc of mark' and leaves it at that via @twisted-pride

#first colonists on Mars have an annual mark Watney potato feed. its the first Martian holiday#I will bet money this happens in real life OR I will make it happen via @hmslusitania

SILVER SPRINGS Fleetwood Mac — The Dance (1997)

By 1997, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s romance should have been ancient history. The pair had split two decades prior, fueling Rumours’ famously raw breakup anthems. But during a taping of a Fleetwood Mac reunion show later released as The Dance, shit once again got very real. Midway through a non-album rarity called “Silver Springs,” Nicks turned and faced her former flame as she sang the song’s rueful bridge: “Time cast a spell on you, but you won’t forget me / I know I could have loved you but you would not let me.” The pair locked eyes, and Nicks gradually built to a cathartic howl — “I’ll follow you down ‘til the sound of my voice will haunt you / You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you” — indicating that, for her at least, resolution had never really come.

This was by design. Nicks has admitted that the fiery take on the song that appears in The Dance was “for posterity,” as she told Rolling Stone at the time. “I wanted people to stand back and really watch and understand what [the relationship with Lindsey] was,” she later told Arizona Republic.

The track’s primary exposure was as a B side to “Go Your Own Way” — Buckingham’s own expression of anger and revenge against Nicks, where he claimed that “packin’ up, shackin’ up is all you wanna do.” The song would become one of the band’s biggest hits, charting in the Top 10. “He knew it wasn’t true. It was just an angry thing that he said,” Nicks told Rolling Stone in 1997 of the “packin’ up, shackin’ up” line. “Every time those words would come onstage, I wanted to go over and kill him. He knew it. He really pushed my buttons through that. It was like, ‘I’ll make you suffer for leaving me.’ And I did.”

Of course, Nicks had the exact same motivation when she wrote “Silver Springs.” In a 1997 interview with Arizona Republic, she explained the song’s message as “I’m so angry with you. You will listen to me on the radio for the rest of your life, and it will bug you. I hope it bugs you.”
