#I love cardan greenbriar and I'm not sorry

[starrynightsxo]

“He looks like a faerie lover stepped out of a ballad, the kind where no good comes to the girl who runs away with him.”

- Jude Duarte, The Cruel Prince

[avelanlorelay]

I don't think we talk about it enough, but Cardan is simply the world's last romantic. Think about it, when most fae have an open relationship (even Taryn, who is considered the romantic character, didn't have a monogamous marriage) he ended his relationship with Nicasia when he discovered her betrayal. He never had anything more to do with her either. Even if it was just for sex, there was no love anymore. Even when Jude tells him to seduce Nicasia, Cardan doesn't go any further than a few kisses. Also because, for me it's canon, he was thinking about another girl.

The breach of trust was the main factor, of course, but I believe Cardan wanted to be the only one for her. In his novel, it is said that Cardan is a little afraid of Balekin wanting to get close to Nicasia, but she reassures him that she has no interest in another man - Locke not included, apparently. He's never been special to anyone, so having someone's heart all to himself was all he wanted.

In The Wicked King (after the kissing scene), Cardan goes to Jude to talk about that night. They didn't even get to "finally", but he was already completely in love and I'm sure that if Jude hadn't dismissed him, he would have talked about feelings and tried to formalize their relationship. Also, despite the fact that, using Jude's words, he was always "practically draped in courtiers", Cardan didn't try to pressure her. Although he desired Jude, it was never just about sex for him.

Now in The Queen of Nothing, even though they're married, Cardan never tries anything with Jude and when he does, he waits patiently for a signal and even when he gets one, he's totally cautious, pulling away at the slightest sign of Jude's discomfort. He still thinks she might change her mind. We only see Jude's pov, but it's evident from Cardan's nervousness that even though he's so experienced in the "art of love", he wanted their first time to be special, because Jude was special. The detail that they only have sex after the wedding is also so cute, not in a puritanical, annoying way, but as if they were both waiting for an important moment. When they finally trusted each other enough to give themselves completely.

Please, Cardan likes books, flowers, sleeping cuddled up with Jude and caress her with his tail. For me, he will always be the most sensitive, romantic and faithful husband of all time.

Strongest

Cardan Greenbriar x Y/N

TW: Mentions of intent to murder,

The Cruel Prince Mainlist

Mainlist

You were a strong-headed girl. You rarely bit your tongue but... for one person you would. Cardan. You always bit your tongue around his family... until tonight that is.

You tolerated few things. You could tolerate shitty things being said about you. About your hair. About your body. About your voice. About your clothes. About you.

But you would never. Tolerate someone talking down on Cardan.

"It's not that hard to not be a disgrace Cardan. There's plenty of good Faerie girls here, and you chose a hu-" "Shut. The. FUCK UP!"

Your voice rang clear through the hall as you stood up. The chair clattered to the floor as you stood, the hall falling quiet as you did. You shook as you tried to take a deep breath.

"Love... Please sit down Petal..."

Cardan's voice was gentle as he reached for your hand. You swatted his hand away as you glared directly as his eldest brother, Balekin.

"You keep your filthy fucking mouth shut. You don't have a fucking place to speak in our relationship."

Balekin's brow arched as he watched his younger brother watch you in concern.

"I'm sorry you don't get your dick sucked enough so you're a fucking cunt? But if you EVER. Talk about your brother, my boyfriend, like that again?"

A cunning smirk crossed your face as you tilted your head, your nose scrunched up as you smiled. A signature move of yours, which Cardan knew better than to interject now. He looked down at his lap and took a deep breath. Reminding himself that you knew how to defend yourself, and you were a vicious little bitch when it came to him. He knew better than to try to interject, but he did anyways.

"I think we should go-" "Sit your pretty ass back down Cardan." "Yes Ma'am."

Cardan said, going quiet as you gripped a steak knife in your hand.

"What will a little pathetic human like you do?"

Flipping it through your fingers and stabbed it into the old oak table.

"I'll fucking kill you Balekin."

A smirk danced over Cardan's lips, he finally caught on to your tactic.

"Fae are powerless against mortals that know their name, right Balekin? So maybe, just fucking maybe, you'll watch your fucking tongue Balekin."

Each time his name left your lips, Balekin physically winced. All attention was on you as your smirk receded. You looked down at Cardan and smiled softly.

"Le's go, I wanna get coffee and my favorite author just published a new book Baby." "I'm coming Petal."

Cardan said as he stood up. Your heels clicked against the marble as you walked, Cardan followed. His hand gently resting on your waist as he kept you stable. Heels were not your thing.

Hours later, the two of you were in a random field. You were in an oversized sweater, which just to happened to be Cardan's, and a pair of leggings. Cardan's arm was under your head as you listened to him talk about the constellations, his voice was soft and soothing as you relaxed.

"You know, Petal... What you did today was really ballsy..."

Cardan said, making you roll onto him. One leg on either side of him as you gently cupped his face.

"He was talking down to you, I don't tolerate that... You're my baby... I'll kill for you..."

You said, your eyes gently rested on his coal black one's. One of your hands ended up in his curly black hair, making him physically relax under you.

"I'd do anything you'd ask... Without your pretty little Glamour..."

You said, gently booping his nose before cupping his face again and kissing him.

A Review on The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black (SPOILERS)

*Sip, sip* And we're back at it again with that faerie wine!

Now, I know. It has been a hot minute since I posted. The new year has been hectic but I got 2 book reviews coming at you. Let's start with this one.

*Sip, sip*

I knew they would be back and that is why I went to a midnight launch to get my hands on this book. To see the return of my High King and Queen ... ahhhhhh ... but we must have patience and so we shall.

Let's examine this in plot and characters first.

*Sip, sip*

Firstly, let me say that the plot felt a little ... perhaps not as organized as previous plots. For example, the first book focused on the theft of Mab's bones and the creation of these stick creatures which I thought was pretty awesome and enjoyed. Here, that plot goes no further. I wished it was explored a bit more; the power of Mab's bones and the connections it has to the land of Elfhame as a whole. We know Mab was the first High Queen and essentially created Elfhame, so I wanted to see just how interwoven Mab was with the land because, as was explored in The Folk of the Air trilogy, the High King/Queen is immensely connected to the land. That entire part of the mythos kind of fell away to make room for Wren.

*Sip, sip*

Speaking of the whole storyline with Wren ... I'm sorry guys, for the most part, I did not care for it. It's not that I necessarily found it lacking but rather, I found myself disappointed. I had mentioned in a previous post of mine how Holly Black is one of those authors who does not sacrifice the importance or power of one character for another, typically in the case of taking from a male to distribute to a female character. For example, in her novel The Darkest Part of the Forest (which is my favorite standalone faerie book thus far and not just a Holly Black fairy book), never is Severin's status or power diminished for the sake of building up Hazel. It makes perfect sense how, during the climax, Hazel is able to fight as she is. Likewise, in The Folk of the Air, it makes sense that Jude is more strategically inclined while Cardan is more magically inclined, and I LOVED it! I loved how Jude did not possess anywhere near the same magical abilities as Cardan but was rather spectacular for everything she earned. Cardan is a faerie, a descendent of Mab, and the blood High King. It is understandable how he is more connected to the land and thus able to wield it more absolutely than Jude. Jude, on the other hand, taught herself the ways of spying, learned to fight from a vicious redcap, and had to learn to play the game of the folk as she lived in Faerie most of her life. They complement each other incredibly.

*Sip, sip*

Wren, to me, was a bit much. This whole concept of her being able to unmake things made me twist my lips. I understand that hags are the supreme beings of Faerie and how Wren has hag-blood. This manipulation of magic, of being able to unmake things took away, I think, from Cardan, Jude, Oak, and yes, even Mab.

Why? Well, Mab, in a way, is like Jude. She learned how to play the game, she played it well, and Bogdona was upset she got fooled. But, to me, Mab won the Faerie Game fair and square. The land, Elfhame, the crown, all of it belongs to Mab and her bloodline. And Mab gained the ability to create, to bring life. That is the whole Greenbriar thing.

Now, I could work with Wren having the ability to unmake things if it contributed more to the plot of this Greenbriar = Creation, Bogdona/Wren = Destruction. But it doesn't. It just creates a hurtle for Jude. What I think would have been great was to bring this question of Creation vs. Destruction to the forefront. Mab's bones can make things because they are imbued with her power. Great! Can they cure Wren? Can the remark what Wren unmakes? Could Cardan and Jude's power to create block Wren's power to destroy? Could Mab's bones and Cardan and Jude's powers protect Elfhame from Wren's? There are so many questions I wished would be explored but they were never touched on. Could Cardan deflect Wren's spell of unmaking? Could Wren unmake something that Cardan made?

Now to some of you, it may seem obvious ("Well, duh, she can. She has the blood of a hag.") And, you know what, fair. But we should not underestimate the abilities of Mab (who tricked a hag and gained the power of one) and I would have loved it if it played out more.

*Sip, sip*

As for Oak ... oh no.

Readers ... this book made me dislike him. Not hate him, no. And I did not always find myself annoyed with him. Most of the time, throughout the book, I enjoyed Oak but when he annoyed me, my goodness did he annoy me.

*Sip, sip*

As someone who personally detests the whole "ghosting" trend, beating around the bush, talking in circles, and not being direct, I DESPISE the miscommunication/ no communication trope to no end. Anytime Oak even thought about Cardan I slammed my head into the book and seethed past gritted "Just fucking tell him!".

Truly, I had some theories on why Oak may be reluctant to tell Cardan anything. I found no reason besides him being afraid Cardan would tell Jude. Again, fair, but something as simple as saying point blank because faeries cannot lie, "Listen, Cardan, I am not going to ever try to take the throne from you. You do not have to worry about that." Oak's guilt about what he made his sisters endure for him, fine, I understand. But I don't remember a time of him lamenting what he put Cardan through (as I hoped he would) or what he took from Cardan. Rather, he mentions it briefly in passing but does not elaborate. This whole concept of him thinking Cardan wants him dead seems a bit much, even with what he overheard Jude and Cardan talking about in the beginning.

*Sip, sip*

As suspected, though, Cardan is not an idiot.

*Sip, sip*

Jumping back to the plot, the whole ending seemed a little like "Wait, what?" Why is the Ghost done so dirty? Randalian's flip-flop seemed a little Fallout meme "hold on, now." Nacassia and the Undersea were just sort of there (I know she is setting up for an Undersea storyline but as someone who hates cheaters, sorry, I feel nothing for Nicassia so I couldn't care less), Madoc is kind of just pardoned, the falcons who betrayed Elfhame are sort of okay now, someone who literally tried to assassinate Cardan (I think it was twice now) is just sort of free to go. Like, what?

But anyway ... On to the main points.

*Sip, sip*

Oak and Wren.

As much as I found myself annoyed by Oak, I did not necessarily dislike Wren (as I tend to favor villains in books) but found her unforgivable at times. Some of her actions had me pondering, "Oak, how could you have romantic feelings for this girl?" I understand why Wren did most of the things she did. But the way she treated Oak the whole time he was at the citadel, uh, no. Freezing him, starving him, having him in solitary, humiliating him, like ... lying by omission as Oak did, yeah, not cool. Torture via neglect---not cool either.

*Sip, sip*

Do I ship them? I mean ... I don't oppose it but I wasn't really rooting for them through the book. I did not feel the same chemistry as I did with other faerie romances that Black has written. Some characters with great chemistry are Kaye and Roiben, Severin and Ben, Cardan and Jude especially, even Hazel and Jack I felt more pull to. Hell, even Val and Ravius. Why is that? Well, I'll keep this in the Elfhame part of Faerie for those who haven't read the other books. So comparing Cardan and Jude to Oak and Wren as both can be considered enemies to lovers:

Cardan and Jude start off with a mutual hatred.

Oak and Wren do not.

Cardan inflicts his hatred upon Jude and Jude does it right back to him. It is mutual, shared, and practiced on both sides up until they both cave and when they both cave they both cave at the same time.

That's not what happens to Wren and Oak. Their hatred, or rather cruelty, is one-sided. Wren is far more, I guess, negative towards Oak than Oak is towards Wren. Neglect is still a form of abuse; even if the person is not actively being physically, verbally, or mentally abusive, they are still abusing the person via their lack of attention and mindfulness. So when Oak was Wren's prisoner, she was being neglectful and tormenting. Which, hey, he lied and it was a big lie too. So I could fully understand Wren wanting to humiliate Oak because she felt humiliated too. But humiliation is one thing. Neglectful abuse for several weeks is another. Yet, since book one, Oak has had feelings for Wren, whereas Wren harbored a lot of resentment for Oak in the beginning of book 2.

*Sip, sip*

So, do I ship it? As I said before, it is not in my fleet. However, I am not opposed to it. I think Oak does a lot more for Wren than she does for him positively, and I think Wren inflicts a lot more negative things upon Oak than vice versa. Honestly, for this one, I feel as though Wren and Oak would have been better if they ended as friends with the possibility of romance in their future. I think they jumped it too quickly, especially after everything they put each other through. I think having the time to explore being friends again would have been better for their relationship with Black leaving us with a nugget of but you know, they are going to be together in the future.

*Sip, sip*

And now, for the main event.

*Lifts glass*

CUE THE HOMELANDER MEME!

It was perfect. Perfect. Everything. Down to the last minute details.

*Sip, sip*

Yes, my High King and Queen were as fabulous as ever and stole the show every time they were on the page. They were just as in love as ever, still as badass as ever, and both have even matured but not entirely.

Cardan commanding everyone to be killed had me cackling like a Disney witch. Jude's sword fighting is still top-tier. And the fact that Cardan and Taryn still don't like each other had me crying even though Cardan dots upon her son.

Confirmed! Cardan is great with kids as we all suspected.

Him completely ignoring Oriana and her opinions on decorum because he is the High King had me nodding in agreement, one hundred percent. Throwing food into people's wine goblets as a game with Leander, splendid.

Jude resting her head on his shoulder, well done. Jude "threatening" Oak to die for the High King, badass. Jude calling for her good sword, sick! The fact that the sword Severin gave her was not destroyed, big relief (like I was actually sweating when I saw it return, beginning Wren not to touch it).

Them agreeing to Nicassia's stupid little party to keep their people safe, major flex.

Cardan walking off getting stabbed in the chest, giving the order to have people executed to then escorting his people to safety by making a deal with his cheating ex is an I'm him moment.

"Liar," gave me chills and flashbacks to The Wicked King, chapter 15 (hehe ¬‿¬).

Jude acting just like her "dad," put some respect on her name.

Like, if this book was worth reading for any reason, it was them. They did not take up most of the book but when they were there, they were THERE. I loved Jude and Oak's fight at the end, and I loved Oak and Cardan's conversation. I wish they had spent some time talking about how Oak was part of the original plot to put the crown on Cardan's head or how they both fell for vicious women, but the ending was great.

*Sip, sip*

So, was it a good book? Yes, it was. It was an enjoyable read and had that whimsy that all of Black's faerie books have. It was great to see old characters, discover new ones, and expand even more on the realm of Faerie. You know Holly Black loves these characters, especially because of how frequently she keeps returning to them in recent years. It is understandable. These characters are spectacular.

All of the books set in Faerie written by Black so far, for me, from most favored to least, are as follows:

The Wicked King, The Cruel Prince, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories, The Darkest Part of the Forest, The Queen of Nothing, The Prisoner's Throne, The Stolen Heir, Tithe, Ironside, Valiant.

Also, another review is being posted soon to make up for my absence. If you have a book you'd like to recommend for me to read, I'm all ears (or, eyes, I guess lol). I am also on Goodreads (same name: thedrunkenreaderreviews).

Anyway, thank you for your time, enjoy the faerie wine, and with the weather growing warmer, why not go for a swim with the nixies?

Till next time, cheers.

Hello! This is my fanfiction recommendation blog. The fics in this blog were written by various authors from AO3, Quotev, and Tumblr. If you're looking for fics posted on Wattpad, please go to my Wattpad profile and check out my reading lists.

This blog isn't dedicated to any particular fandom, so don't be fooled by whatever my blog's current theme is. I post what I like. My main criterion to determine whether or not I post a fic here is whether or not I want to reread a fic someday. I'm a simple woman. (This blog is basically my library.)

Most of the fanfictions here are female reader or OC inserts. It's quite rare for me to post character/character fics because it's also rare for me to read character/character fics. Also, most, if not all, ships are straight. If they're supposed to be a gay ship, one of them is probably genderbent. Sorry. If that's not your cup of tea, you're free to click/tap away. Additionally, some fics may include dark content. If you don't know how to define that, maybe you shouldn't be looking at this blog. As always, you're free to leave if you don't like such fics.

[the-wraiths-wife]

LOOK

I personally found Avery very very boring and basic

She was a PAIN to have as a protagonist, she was very one dimensional and Plain

And I think Lyra Kane is gonna be just as boring. I NEED some spice, some SEMBLANCE of personality

Avery's personality is white, plain, Sugar-y asf spoilt Milk.

I betchu lyras is gonna be worse—

Kinda sorry to the Lyra Kane fans tho

Like I've read so many books and after one point you can predict what type of charectors an author can write. You understand their scope and calibre.

And like, even though the Hawthornes are portrayed as these hot sexy god-like bois who make women loose their minds I NEVER ever felt it

(probably cuz I'm gay—)

But my point is, with certain charectors like - Kenji Kishmoto, Aaron Warner, Kaz Brekker, Percy Jackson, Cardan Greenbriar, Malini (from da jasmine throne), alex claremont-diaz, Lord Thyco you can like FEEL the aura, the 'hot' aura

Like their PERSONALITIES contribute to the hotness.

• Kenji's obsession with tangled, his ability to calm people, his goofiness, him genuinely giving a fuck abt people, not being a Gale Hawthorne, and his obsession for Nazeera, his willingness to sacrifice himself for his friends

• Aaron's fashion sense, his willingness to burn the world for her, to wait for her, helping her become powerful, helping her find herself i.e re-discover her past, and eating a cookie with a knife and fork ; ‘Come back here’ ‘Home’, ‘lyhfml’

• Kaz Brekker ripping a guy's eye out for his girl, finding her parents for her, freeing her from her indenture and her sexual trauma, wanting to bottle up her laugh and get drunk on it, his crazy revenge plans, ‘I would've come for you’, dropping a guy from a tower for objectifying women.

• Percy simping for Annabeth and jumping into tartarus with her and almost dying for her, respecting his mom, having a loveable persona, standing up to the gods, messing with the gods, being sarcastic and a great leader.

•Cardan Greenbriar begging Jude to come back to him and allowing her to murder/attempt to murder him again and again and making her the queen of Elfhelm so she feels one with the magic

• Princess Malini of Parijatdvipada helping her girlfriend find herself, making her remember her childhood, save her people and her culture, re-discover her magic, establish a relationship with her brother, making her truly HAPPY and WHOLE again, Refusing to burn on that pyre

•Alex claremont-diaz giving his boyfriend the strength to truly be himself, helping him ; LIKE actually doing wonders for his man, gives him the courage to come out to his family, is actually there for henry (the boyfriend) whenever he needs him, goes after Henry and their relationship, the Texas campaign—

• Lord Thyco accepting his boyfriend, showing him he's not a burden but a blessing, bringing out the best in him, helping his boyfriend and his bestfriend by not letting them die on the streets

But with the Hawthornes it's like, you're supposed to think they're hot, end of story.

Why are they hot?

Idk

The only hawthorne I actually like is Grayson, because he reminds me of Henry from red white and royal blue.

I read the whole series for him and I don't think he and Lyra should be a thing

He should be gay. Chilling somewhere FAAARRR away from the rest of the Hawthornes. With his boyfriend.

End. Of. Story.

Like but the rest of the Hawthornes are like

Jameson → ick personified

Xander → Random asf (scones? Jlb, ik you were trynna be different, just give the man a cookie—)

Nash → Don't. Get. Me. Started.

The rest of the charectors I stated as examples for hot? They had charector development, they helped their s/o-s grow with them.

I don't think the Hawthornes really did that.

And they have potential, with nash being a cowboy, Jameson loving mysteries and whatnot but it's not well executed.

Don't tell me that it's a mystery puzzle kinda book, you can't have best of both worlds.

Again, all the charectors I stated above are from action packed fun books and they have great personality.

Also shout out to Ravi Singh from a good girl's guide to murder. He has an amazing personality.

Bill had never really felt small next to Cardan despite the drastic differences in their heights. Where the Faerie Prince was all long and sinewy limbs, he was broad and strong capable of lifting the other off his feet easily and carrying him with ease. But right now, with the way that his lover had him gathered against his chest he felt small. He felt like the breakable human that Cardan often reminded him he was.

Even if he had proved time and again otherwise. Most recently being his encounter with the older Greenbriar from which he had somehow come out unscathed. It wasn't hard for him to figure out what had gotten his prince in such a tender mood.

His hands rested between Cardan's shoulder blades, fingers making gentle fists in the delicate fabric of his shirt as he was held close. He breathed the brunette in, not wanting to break the spell just yet. It still shocked him, even now, that anyone could be so concerned over him and his wellbeing. He wasn't used to being loved like this.

"Are you alright?" Bill found himself asking barely above a whisper despite the fact that he had been the one that was in the precarious position. "I'm sorry if I scared you," he murmured.

Favorite book?

Favorite film?

Favorite outfit? (What you wear when you want to feel confident)

Favorite meal?

JOKES ASIDE I STARED AT THIS FOR A GOOD TENS MINS and decided to write an essay (sorry im very annoying it will happen again)

Favorite book is so hard for me to choose bc I'm an easily impressed person but i have things in mind. Harry Potter! (duh) The first time I read the books I was in third grade and it's been ten years that I've made it a prominent part of my personality hehehe. Kite Runner! If you haven't read it, what are even waiting for??? It was absolutely heartbreaking, soul healing, harrowing and wholesome book. I can't emphasize my love for it enough. I don't think I'll ever get over it. A good girl's guide to murder! I adore this book and have a deep connection with it that I won't elaborate at the moment for the sake your mental health

Favorite movie. I have to warn you I'm not a movie girlie so I may disappoint you. I love Harry Potter movies as much as I love the books, but I have a vast admiration for Inception. I loved how I felt like solving a puzzle the first time watching it, and the cinematography was perfect. Dead Poets Society... I will never and I mean never love any movie more than DPS. Neil is me and I am him.

Favorite outfit. I don't know if it counts but DRESSES!!! I usually wear baggy and comfy clothes, and refuse to leave my comfort zone, but when I feel confident enough to do, I LOVE DRESSES. especially the flowery summer dresses (god im so in love with them)

Favorite meal. Chicken and Mushroom Julienne. Any day every day. Without getting sick. I don't know if you've heard of it or tasted it, but IT'S THE PERFECT MEAL FOR ME!

TFOTA Characters as Six the Musical Lyrics

Jude- ‘Cus I’m the queen of the castle, get down you dirty rascal.

Cardan - I think we can all agree I’m the ten amongst these threes

Vivi -  I look more rad than Lutheranism

Taryn -  Her or me, chum, don't wanna be some girl in a threesome, are you blind?

The Bomb -  Not very prim and proper, can't make me stop

Locke - Now I ain't sayin' I'm a gold digger, but check my prenup, and go figure  

Nicasia -  You know it isn't true but I must say to you that I don't need your love, no, no

Madoc -  When I get bored, I go to court

Oriana -  Have my golden rule got to keep my cool

Heather -   You're just so full of sh-, must think that I'm naive

The Ghost -  I didn’t mean to hurt anyone

The Roach -  You'll find that I'm unshakeable

Oak - Politics, not my thing

Orlagh -  A restless tide, untamable

Bonus;

Grima Mog -  I wanna go hunting, any takers?

[alectology-archive]

You know I'm really really conflicted about Cardan. On one hand there is that Apple incident but on the other he actually knows that he has hurt a good many people and the later books do imply that he is trying to be better. (Atleast Black doesn't do a complete 180 from his original characterization.) I know that their relationship is very unhealthy but what of Cardan himself?

idk ya dudes in general piss me off and the only reason I don’t hate hate him is because he’s a faerie and holly does a good job of portraying that. I don’t really care if he was trying to do better because rhys (acotar) and warner (shatter me) were *trying* to be better people and were still awful. Cardan did get better in TQoN but it felt like a 180 to me, although it probably wasn’t as bad as it usually is with other ya dudes.

yeah, I’m not particularly fond of the relationship but I think Cardan by himself is perfect and a great characterisation of how faeries are so there’s really no complaints there.

Letters Pt. 3 (Final)

Warning//this contains all book spoilers, and that letters Cardan sent to Jude are revealed.

PSA::: I added a letter Jude wrote for Cardan, and a small beginning letter Cardan wrote for Jude(the one I wrote he threw away).

Jude slammed herself down onto her desk. "You want to play this game? Fine." She grabbed her pen and a piece of paper.

Dear Cardan. High King, if you will.

You marry me, you take something very dear of a woman's innocent, you convinced me I perhaps enjoyed you. Then you exile me, and embarrass me in front of important people. I hope you rot. I hope you miss me and realize what you have done.

I warned you not to fuck with me. But I promise you, Cardan. You let me in, now you will pay for it. I will come back.

Jude

~~~

Cardan was furious, to say the least. Furious with himself and with his Queen. He had flat out told her to return home, that she was pardoned. What more of a clue could she want?! How dare she agree to become Queen, then leave in the blink of an eye?!

I know I mustn't yet say it.

Cardan wrote shakily.

But I love you, Jude Duarte-Greenbriar. I have known I loved you since the moment your blade scraped my neck.

Cardan shook his head and crumpled up the letter. He couldn't say that, not like that at least.

Why would you, save for your ambition?

Cardan started yet another letter, pressing harder than usual as his cup of wine moved back and forth inside his cup. His jaw clenched as he growled under his breath in anger.

You have always known exactly what I am and seen all my failings, all my weaknesses and scars. I flattered myself that at moments you had feelings for me other than contempt, but even were that true, they would a thin gruel beside the feast of your other, greater desires.

And yet my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the Undersea.

He remembered when he first heard Jude was kidnapped, his heart dropped and raced, his palms somehow became sweaty. His fear rose 10x more than it did the first time Balekin let that maid raise a whip to his back. The fear became anger as he tried to make plans to get her back that didn't resort into murder, at that moment he understood why the Court of Shadows always wanted murder.

It was yours before I could admit it, and yours it shall ever remain.

Cardan

He sighed, his hopes were out the window already that she would ever return. Cardan did not blame her, but he wanted nothing more for her to come back.

"Sir?"

"Not now, I'm busy."

"But its severely important that this gets to you now."

"What could be so important you interrupt me?!" Cardan's hands slammed down, in reality he was begging for the knight to say her name. Say she has returned. He wanted to hear her name, he needed to.

"Locke was found dead in his manor this morning."

~~

"Then I won't get caught." Jude looked between Vivi and Taryn. The three sat in the living room of Heather's apartment, Taryn still shaken up from murdering her husband.

She thought about how it would be to see Cardan after all this time. All those letters sitting on top of the table unopened. She told herself she might read them as she prepares herself in Taryn's room, she'd be in Elfhame either way.

She knew how to pretend to be glamoured, she knew how to pretend to be her sister. Jude would despise not being able to make her snarky remarks, but she could bite them back long enough to not get caught.

"Are you ready to see him again?" Vivi leaned against the doorway as Jude looked at herself in the mirror.

"Hm? Oh, I don't know. I can't kill his sorry ass, that makes me sad." Jude grinned softly to herself as Vivi shook her head, holding back a chuckle. "Or maybe I could.."

"No, Jude. Taryn's already accused of murder, no need to kill the High King, High Queen." Vivi smirked and Jude shot a glare at her. "When will you tell Taryn of that?"

"When I divorce Cardan." Vivi laughed at Jude, "what? The second I see that man, divorce."

"High Queen Jude Duarte-Greenbriar divorces High King Cardan Greenbriar," Vivi says in her fake news-reporter voice her and Heather do to dictate Jude's choices and actions.

"That would be a sight to see," Jude chuckled as she stood up, wiping her palms against her outfit. Vivi noticed how she did so, humans constantly sweat from their hands when their nervous. Jude and Taryn hated how she came to notice the little things mortals do to go with their emotions.

"Jude. You're not actually thinking of divorce right?" The sisters face fell as she became serious.

"Of course I am." Was all Jude said before she went to her bedroom.

She stared at herself in the mirror, growing more and more angry by the second. She remembered all he did to her, all he put her through before all this bullshit. He even took her virginity, she should have known he'd blow it off just like every other woman he loved.

"How could you, huh? You marry me then EXILE me?!" She whispered to the mirror as if Cardan could hear. "I hate you. I hate you so much, I wish I never set my lips on yours." Jude's teeth clenched as she gripped the sink counter. "I wish I never met you. You took me away from where I grew up, my home!" The anger became too much for her to bare, and next thing Jude knew, her first was knuckles deep into the now shattered mirror.

"Shit," she muttered to herself as she let out a tearless sob. She pulled her fist back and looked over it, noticing the portions of glass inside her skin, blood pouring out from the wounds.

"Jude? Are you okay??" The girl heard Taryn's voice from the other side of the door. Jude grabbed Heather's makeup bag, remembering her tweezers were in there.

"Yep, I just fell!" Jude lied as she rummaged through the eyeshadows with one hand. She finally pulled out the tweezers and got to work fixing her hand.

Guess I'll need to wear gloves.

~~~

Cardan stood beside his throne, waiting for Taryn to walk into the room. Nicasia stood on the side, awaiting for vengeance for their friend. Her friend. Cardan was a lot less upset than he thought he'd be, he has secretly hated Locke since he found him and Nicasia lying beside one another. His hatred grew after he took Jude for him, then let her believe his lies until he broke her heart.

The heart that was supposed to be his.

Many people's heads turned when shoes clicked at the door, two guards opened the door and Cardan readied himself to see the face of his wife. His heart wrenched when he remembered her face, remembered angry she must be, how she must hate him.

Cardan looked at Taryn and froze.

"Jude," he whispered underneath his breath.

"No sir, this is Taryn. Don't worry, we haven't let her back in." A guard informed the King, who of course didn't believe a word he said. He knew it was Jude, he could feel it. She was very good at hiding it, but she could not hide from him.

Cardan said nothing as he tried to be certain as of who she was. She was playing it safe and did was Taryn would do, kept her head down as she bowed. If this was Jude, she would have been marvelous at pretending to be her sister.

Cardan looked at her hands, hoping to find her knuckle scars, but of course Jude wore gloves. Cardan could also hear when Jude would slightly trip on her heels as if no one else could hear because her dress hid them. Jude's hair was slightly lighter too from the sea, he could tell after she returned of the difference. When Jude looked at Cardan, the hatred but yearn for his love was all he needed to know.

She came back.

hi. i'm shat (call me daisy if you wish). i'm 20, desi, my pronouns are she/her and i love cardan greenbriar. alex claremont diaz and i have the same birthday i'm sorry i had to. that's all.

lol no i'm kidding

my fandoms are grishaverse, tfota, tsc, trc, aftg, tsoa, zodiac academy, stalking jack the ripper and a lot more tbh it's difficult to fit them all here.

i love taylor swift (duh), one direction, 5sos, lana del rey, chase atlantic, kendrick lamar and the 1975. arijit singh, shreya ghoshal, darshan raval, armaan malik, shankar mahadevan are all top tier.

im a massive formula 1 fan so if you like it come talk to me <3

i also love brooklyn 99, gossip girl (original), the vampire diaries, deadly class, house of cards, bridgerton, designated survivor, breaking bad, narcos and a couple other shows. your girl is a hopeless bollywood romantic so ofc movies like kal ho na ho, kuch kuch hota hai, bunty aur babli, ram leela etc are my thing (we believe in srk supremacy on this blog).

dni if you're homophobic, transphobic, pedophile etc etc you know the drill. just don't interact if you're an asshole or looking for drama. i am also not interested in being your sugar baby so for the love of god stay away.

here is your motivation to read the folk of the air

"I hate you because i think of you. often. it's disgusting, and i can't stop."

and all for the game

"i hate every inch of you. that doesn't mean i wouldn't blow you"

yes i'm a sucker for enemies to lovers, get over it

The Hate you caused- one shot

Fandom: TFOTA

Summary: Set post twk. Cardan gets the most horrific news in his 19 years of life and regrets making an intentional decision.

Warnings: Angst. Lot's of angst. Major character death.

a/n: ummmmm HIIIIIII yea y'all are mad i havnt been updating but srsly i was experiencing some serious writer's block. Anywaysssss i got this idea in the middle of the night hehe ENJOY!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Whatever do you mean someone from Madoc's family has requested a meeting with me?"

"I repeat myself; Madoc's eldest daughter has requested an urgent meeting at this instant. She's saying she won't leave until she has a little chat with his Majesty," standing in the Royal Chambers of Palace of Elfhame, a messenger delivered the message of Viviene Duarte to the High King.

Upon hearing Vivi's unexpected arrival, a frown had formed on Cardan's face, "Why is she here?"

The messenger cleared his throat and said, "She told me to inform you it's regarding 'your dear exiled Seneschal' her words, not mine for she told me to tell you the exact wording."

A lump formed in Cardan's throat and he started imagining the worst scenarios about Jude in Mortal Realm.

"Where is she?"

"The Throne room," the messenger hadn't even gotten the chance to finish the sentence when Cardan rushed out from his chambers to the Throne room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bloodshot red puffy eyes met obsidian black ones when Cardan approached Vivi.

"Are you happy now? This is what you wanted, wasn't it? Now you got it. Perhaps now you're satisfied?", Such a deep hatred pooled in Vivi's eyes which made Cardan's frown deepen and confusion laced on his face.

"What is it do you want from me Viviene?"

She scoffed and continued, "She's dead." Barely a whisper but he had caught what she said and hoped perhaps he mistook what he heard, hoped perhaps it was somewhat a trick, hoped perhaps it was one of Jude's little scheme but when she said it again, his body went numb.

"SHE IS DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU BASTARD! SHE IS DEAD! MY SISTER'S DEAD, JUDE'S DEAD!"

At that moment Cardan's heart cracked. He couldn't believe it was true, couldn't absorb the news.

He didn't remember when he asked her to prove it, to take him, didn't remember when the Roach and Bomb came with him, didn't remember when he reached the cemetery. The only thought he had was that his Jude, his queen can't be dead. No, it was impossible.

Only when the High King stood in front of the tombstone of the High Queen of Elfhame did the reality of this situation came crashing upon him.

And for the first time in his life, Cardan cried. He cried, screamed, thrashed and even tried to dig the grave again with his bare hands just to see his wife, just to see her lips or her eyes or her round mortal ears again but he failed.

His gaze fell on the tombstone once more and touched it where her name was written ignoring the sharp pain due to the soil and stones because of the digging.

The Roach and Bomb stood silently but even an old age man could tell there were sobs and grief was written all over there face.

"This is all my fault, my love," his voice raspy and barely less then an octave, "all my fault. If I never exiled you, you would have stayed. We would have ruled together. I thought you will be proud that I was able to trick you, that it was a riddle and you would have been back in Farieland within a week. I-"

He couldn't continue, his sobs overcame and he fell to his knees. He begged to the Gods above to please make it one of his nightmares but fate had other plans.

"I'm so sorry. I love you," his tears became uncontrollable. His heart broke into a million pieces and his body stopped functioning.

It was at that moment when Cardan Greenbriar hated himself more than ever.

Whatever This Is

Synopsis: In which Jude and Cardan meet again after seven years, but not on good terms.

PROLOGUE

I continued to walk. People briskly walked to and from their destinations, while others climbed out of their Ubers in a hurry. I love the fast-paced ambiance of San Francisco’s financial district, where the frequency of cars honking and the volume of someone’s calls tells the time of day.

Mornings are always like this. If they aren’t, I’d wonder if I was in the right city. My daily walk to my favorite coffee house, Torre’s, allowed me to tour the current happenings of the day. It was a small, hole-in-the-wall coffee shop I had accidentally discovered amidst hysteria on the third morning of my newly-employed self. The coexistence between the flashing neon sign and the exterior’s dark browns and blacks caught my eye, since the coffee house diverged from the district’s urban brick walls and glass doors.

I shoved my hands further into pockets of my coat, shielding them from the unforgiving cold of the Bay Area’s winter mornings. I sometimes reminisced of the weather back in my hometown of sunny-side Los Angeles. Though, I had to admit that it was not much different compared to that of the Bay Area’s. Overcast and rainy in the winters, while bright and dry in the summer. There was not much to contrast about. Maybe I had just missed that town where I had grown up, those seven years ago.

A few steps away from Torre’s, I stopped to observe the unusual crowd brimming outside. Torre’s was the locals’ best kept secret, yet somehow today it was the most popular coffee shop on Market Street.

Ignoring the crowd, I strolled into Torre’s. As I entered, it was like the bustle of the city had been muted. The interior was rustic, yet cozy; dim lights casted shadows wherever I walked as I made out the different styles of artwork. Despite this, there was still an unusual number of people waiting in line. I walked to the end and slipped out my phone from my purse. Pulling up the website yielded no results of any discounts or special events happening today.

I looked up again and surveyed the customers ahead of me, my phone still in grip. As I peek at the counter, something-- someone-- catches my sight. I feel my stomach dip and I instantly feel sick. Horror and shock and everything bitter quickly creep into my veins as I feel my strength begin to leave me for a second, only to reclaim myself in seconds in an effort to keep my composure.

Because he just walked straight past me, like I really was composed of thin air.

Iridescent midnight hair and ebony eyes to match, sharp cheekbones and pale, pale skin strolled past me, holding a Torre’s branded cup of coffee.

He is quick to disappear from the entrance and out into the streets of San Francisco, and by the time I recover from the shock of seeing him, I have to walk up a few feet because it is my turn to order. But how could I recover from seeing Cardan Greenbriar since the last time I saw him was seven years ago?

A/N: lol i haven't been here in a while... hello! sorry... i'm not putting in my tag list because i'm not sure if peeps still want to be on it since it's been so long LOLL
