I can’t stop thinking about how when Cardan wanted to talk to Jude about the first time they got intimate and she quickly replies she just wanted to get it out of her system, Cardan asks her “Did you? Get it out of your system?”

But what he meant was “Did you get ME out of your system, because I can’t get you out of mine nor do I want to. I only fell in deeper.”

Her reply about wanting to just get it out of her system hurt him.

When he had said “This is a terrible idea.” as he was kissing her and taking of his shirt, he didnt mean terrible as in things are gonna get weird and akward between them. He meant this was going to rattle him to the bones. This was going to make him fall in deeper for her. This was a terrible idea for him because he knew she didnt reciprocate his feelings and HE was vulnerable and going to end up hurt. It was a terrible idea for HIM.

Jude: Next time we meet, we’re enemies!

Cardan, in his head: Enemies to lovers, slowburn, angst with happy ending, 300k+ words

never letting ya’ll forget “come home and shout at me. come home and fight with me. come home and break my heart, if you must. just come home.”

I honestly loved seeing Jude and Cardan ten years later from Oak's perspective in Stolen Heir and Prisoner's Throne.

Cause like, they're still the same people, but they're also more mature and less impulsive and crazy.

For example, we see that scene where Jude and Cardan are in their room discussing things quietly, and I feel like CP to QoN them never would've.

But they're still foundationally the same, as in Jude's solution to everything is still murder, and Cardan is still a little more lighthearted.

Also, the quote that's like "She's [Jude] gonna wear your skull as a hat, and Cardan's gonna laugh and laugh when she does" described them so perfectly.

*Jude threatens someone with a sword*

Cardan: Isn't she beautiful?

Randalin: But Your Majesty, she tried to kill you!

Cardan: Married couples flirt, Randalin. See, you wouldn't know because you're a virgin.

[i-only-see-daylight]

Cardan: I have a question for you

Jude: Yes I’d cry if you died Jude: Yes, I’d still love you if you were a worm Jude: Yes, I still love you Jude: No, I don’t want to break up

Cardan: Thank you

The fact that Cardan falls for Jude because she's human. and because she's fierce and badass and determined and will absolutely never back down from something that she believes in. and she is still loved despite those things and because of those things.

and Cardan is just so damn jealous of it but he admires it so much he can't help but notice her and all the silly little things about her, like her round ears and the way she bites her lip when she's thinking hard.

Cardan: Are you flirting with me?

Jude: My dagger is against your throat, Greenbriar

Cardan: That’s why I asked

[starwolf-and-marauders]

Cardan: I'm in love with you

Jude, scoffing: Do you really believe I'm gonna fall for that? I know you hate me

Cardan: ...

Cardan: Jude. I'm fae. I can't lie

Jude: I know. Do you think I'm stupid? It's just a way you manipulate the truth as always

Cardan: I-...

[lostalittle]

Jude: I just want to hear those three little words.

Cardan: I love you.

Jude: Try again.

Cardan (sighing): I will behave.
