Fic Post - The Blow of a Knife
Oct. 24th, 2011 07:52 pmTitle: The Blow of a Knife
Fandom: Children of Dune (2003 miniseries)
Rating: PGish? Some attempted violence, some achieved violence, but all of it is either brief or inexplicit. Or both.
Characters/Pairing: Ensemble: Chani, Irulan, Alia, Jessica, Duncan 2.0, plus assorted minor canon characters and an OC or two. Canonical past relationships, hints of Alia/Duncan 2.0, and in my head the whole thing has come to serve as pre-Chani/Irulan but that could just be me.
Wordcount: 21,000.
Summary: Chani feels it, when Muad'dib dies. Midseries AU: the attempt to assassinate Paul with the stoneburner is successful. Written for Round 2 of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Disclaimer: Places and people you recognize from canon are not mine. Some scenes diverge only a little, so some dialogue (particularly when Jessica first meets Duncan 2.0) is essentially from the miniseries. Title from the first quote below, which appears in Dune, I believe.

idriya, who tells me things I don't want to hear even though I'm whiny and horrible to her after, and whom I hear spent a lot of time wrapped in a sheet to complete my beautiful complement art - which is unfortunately delayed due to RL issues, but I will embed/link when it's finished! And, of course, the impetus to write and complete this story came from the ladiesbigbang challenge, which is great and awesome and great and everyone should sign up for it. :D
