#eiob chapter 30

[blacksunrequiem]

After 30 chapters and almost 255k words, the slow-burn has finally slow-burned. The Feydice love confession blossoms with all pretty little callback details after 10 years of chasing in the shadows of shared dreams.

“I protect what is mine.” “Do you believe me to be yours?” “You are mine,” Feyd-Rautha says, one hand straying from her hair to cup her stomach. “Would you kill for me?” Eurydice asks. “You need only ask.” “Would you love me as I am?” Feyd-Rautha inhales. “I want your mind, your soul, your very essence. All of you,” he says. “Could you give it to me?” “I already have.” — Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen & Eurydice Atreides, Chapter 30, “Echoes in Our Blood” by Vulpine_Spectacle on AO3.

“Let me go,” Eurydice says. “Never.” Feyd-Rautha squeezes her tighter. “You are mine.” “Leave me to my pain.” “Let me be a vessel to your pain,” Feyd-Rautha says. “Give it to me.”

My god, “Let me be a vessel to your pain” is such a tagline in the fashion of Feyd. “He yearns to be hurt” in a canon way?
