Charles/Erik, Alpha/Omega, Crossover!Dune

I was re-visiting the Dune mini-series, and though James McAvoy played Leto, I thought of all the characters, I suddenly realized Princess Irulan paralleled Charles Xavier closely. I mean they’re both the eldest children from a privileged background who experienced parental indifference. They’re both nerds, well-known writers later in life, and clever people who can argue their way with what they want. They both develop a connection / fall in love with men who they try to help, and in the end are betrayed by those self-same men. After the betrayal, they find themselves sacrificing so much, becoming advisors (who isn’t that trusted), and at the end, becoming parental figures to children.
So can we have an alpha/omega verse in the Dune universe with omega Charles as Princess Irulan and alpha Erik as Paul Atredies. Up to the author on how closely it follows the miniseries, but I do want it Erik to fall in love with Chani (up to the author which xmen character, maybe Raven? Magda? ???), marry Charles to gain control of the throne, and Charles is stuck in a marriage knowing the husband he loves doesn’t trust him and loves his concubine. Make it hurt anon. Up to anon if Charles & Erik do really get together or not, but please make Erik realize at a certain point that he was a total inconsiderate bastard for all those years.
Bonus points if you can work the scene in Children of Dune wherein there’s a stark contrast between Charles as Irulan, sleeping in that tiny bed all alone in the his room, with the Erik as Paul with Chani as… cuddling and taking in that huge bed in their room.
Extra bonus points if there’s something like that confrontation scene between Irulan & Chani, wherein Chani interrupts Irulan’s writing and holds a knife at Irulan’s throat.
