Cardan has fantasies about Jude. He's complicated. Set during 'The Cruel Prince'.
A brutal assault brings an already-depressed Taryn to the brink of suicide. But an unexpected rescue takes her to a new life, far from Court, where she discovers new meaning and even happiness and love. But the past isn't so easy to escape-especially when you may be carrying Faerie's future... (Trigger Warning: rape, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation.)
"I never expected Jude's presence to be a constant in my life, but now that she isn't here, it feels like part of me is missing." Cardan's POV while Jude is exiled, specifically the situations and emotions surrounding when he writes the letters. Entry #2 for my TFotA oneshot collection.
Jude is dropped off in the human world for her exile to fend for herself. She makes her way to Vivi's apartment, struggling to keep her emotions under control and fighting with the reality that she had been betrayed and was no barred from returning to her home in Elfhame. Post-The Wicked King, pre-epilogue. Jude's POV.
Her Majesty has a tell, and although she doesn't lie as often as Cardan thinks she does, she's lying tonight. Cardan's POV. Post QoN.
Jude gets drunk at a revel - Cardan is delighted. Based on the Scottish folk song Tam Lin. "My sweet nemesis," Arms closed around her waist from behind. "I was considering coming to your rescue, before that dull little creature bored you to death. Alas, I realised then that it was only fair you get to experience how I feel when you start droning on about matters of state,"
The High King and Queen have guests, but where are they? A journey into the royal Chambers(;
Jude is in exile when she finds out Cardan is to be married to someone else. What will she do? Also has a playlist you can listen to Made for my knife wive @fantasyfox10123 on Tumblr!
Falling in love is like falling underwater: you know if you don't back out, you will drown. And yet, the entire time, you hope you're strong enough to not. Falling in love with Kaan Coro was much the same, except I really was drowning that first time. Jude and Cardan's daughter falling in love with Nicasia's son, basically.
