what do u think ur ocs would work as in a modern world?
Ahhhh, I love modern au questions. I actually think about my characters in modern world quite a bit. Whenever I get writer's block, I like to imagine my babes in different realities for fun.
To answer your question, here's what I think:
Eurydice is an heiress. 100000%. I go back and forth between Leto being a duke in the modern universe and being wealthy and important through politics, or if he's just a super duper rich businessman. In any case, Eurydice doesn't ride solely off of her wealth, but it's a fact she definitely owns. I imagine Eurydice's biggest work are running fundraisers, organizing charities, handling auctions, and silly galas. Eurydice does good work through her family, but she also is a serious blackmailer. She has dirt on everyone. She won't hesitate to bring rich ass men to their knees and ruin their lives. NO HESITATION. She's out here trying to take out the shitty billionaires of the world. My queen. Unrelated, but Eurydice also spoils Feyd. She's his sugar mama and he's her scary dog privilege.
Aurelia is interesting to think about. Similarly, I think in the modern world she'd have been brought up in a rich and politically savvy family, but she wouldn't be involved in politics herself. In gotrs, Aurelia has a lot of passion towards helping people - especially children - so I think she'd either work as a pediatric nurse or a social worker. Both careers come with their own scopes of headaches and hardships, but I imagine she'd be up for the challenge. Ultimately, she wants to make the world better by helping people, especially women and children. I also imagine that Aurelia uses her family's wealth and resources to help build / supply hospitals and build shelters. Aurelia drags Acacius with her because he's her grumpy old general.
Ceres in a modern world I think would have been a would-be Olympic athlete. In the modern world, I think she would have worked to become either an Olympic surfer or swimmer, since I imagine that her family had a similar background. Marcel, Orfeo, and Scilla all had strong ties to sports and being in the public eye. Marcel was the overbearing manager type who never quite made it, while Orfeo backed out due to hating spotlight, and Scilla, after losing her leg, chose to work towards helping people. Ceres loses her arm in the modern au while out surfing with Liber. They were alone when a saltwater crocodile came up and tore her arm off, so Liber had to save her and get her to the hospital. After, Ceres still trained and did become an Olympic athlete. She has an online presence where she shares her workouts, mental health, and physical therapy to the public as a means of healing. She also films cringy TikTok trends with Finnick.

OMG!! These are all so good!! I've read FromTheBoundlessSea's work before and I LOVE them so much!! Now I gotta go back and re-read their fics because it's been a while. I'm adding the rest of these to my list. >:33
- do you have any feyd/eurydice headcanons that haven’t made it into eiob yet?
That is an excellent question. I hesitate to answer because of spoiler reasons, but I think it's harmless to share a couple of things.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Feyd knew where Eurydice was before they physically met, he would've 1000% overthrown the Baron and taken his whole army to Chapterhouse to retrieve her. Reverend Mother probably would've let it happen, too, to quicken the process. Eurydice definitely would be like, "WTF???" and then Feyd would be, ":DDDD". It's one of my fav headcanons because it's so chaotic imagining small tween Feyd just showing up on the Bene Gesserit homeworld like, "GIVE ME MY WIFE!"
Feyd likes watching Eurydice bathe. It isn't always a sexual thing (...mostly), but he enjoys the way her black hair shines when it's wet, and how pretty her fair skin is when it's coated in water droplets. He finds her mythical to look at.
Eurydice loves Feyd's hands. She likes how large they are compared to her own, but mostly she likes tracing the veins on the back of his hand, how they flex, and how they feel against her mouth when she kisses his palm.
Feyd wants Hektor to look like Eurydice. He doesn't want the baby to have his eyes or appearance. To him, Eurydice is the peak of beauty, and he wants their son to embody that.
As for the twin sister Eurydice forced on Hektor, Feyd also secretly hopes she'll look like Eurydice, too. But he's terrified the twins will become like Eurydice and Paul, because Feyd is insecure, and he feels that Eurydice loves Paul more than she loves him. He fears a replication of that bond with their twins.
Interestingly, Feyd and Delphine are both attracted to Eurydice and Paul. Obviously, Feydice and Paulphine are as they are, but there's a reluctant underlying attraction to the twin counterparts. They're quite literally the same soul and person, so it's almost a gravitional pull to be attracted to *both.* That being said, it might be mentioned, but it won't become an actual ship if that makes sense. Just a side effect. Plus, Eurydice and Paul are both hot, let's be real.
Eurydice is desperately in love with Feyd despite the knowledge that she now has about their connection. It's a hurtle they're going to have to cross, but Feyd is someone she can't lose no matter what. She'd burn down the whole Imperium for him.
