Dune Fanfiction
Denis Villeneuve's adaptations of Frank Herbert's epic reignited a literary fandom around Paul Atreides, the Fremen, and the terrible mathematics of prophecy. Film-era fic centers Paul/Chani's doomed sincerity against the Irulan marriage, Feyd-Rautha's magnetic brutality (and a startling volume of Feyd/reader work), and Jessica's transformation into Reverend Mother. Writers play in Herbert's gaps: Harkonnen court intrigue, golden-path alternates where Paul refuses the jihad, and Arrakis worldbuilding rendered with sand-grain care.
