Jude + The Ghost

jude and the ghost’s friendship / relationship (whatever you might call it) is actually so underrated. like. hear me out. early in the series, the ghost was one of the first and only people jude ever opened up to. they used to talk about life during spy training together, their memories of the human world. so many of the skills jude uses to survive she learned from him. they’re colleagues, but she thought of the ghost as a friend, in their strange, complex way; he taught her how to shoot a crossbow, how to still her shaking hands.

in one of jude’s most desperate and hopeless moments what she wants is to lay it bare in front of the ghost, ask him to help her so she doesn’t have to face it all alone. she doesn’t, of course—but i still think that’s worth something, that she considered it. jude duarte who relies on no one, who has always had to guard herself against the world. I’ve done a terrible thing, I want to say. Help me.

in that awful scene in wicked king when he gives her up jude’s head is full of a roaring sound, because she thought they were allies, that they were on the same side, that they might have been friends. jude and the ghost were both born in the mortal world, which was one of the things they bonded over. they both did what they had to to survive. she learned so much from him and he respected her and it’s part of the reason it stings so much that he did what he did. “Why?” I ask, hearing Nicasia’s words pounding in my ears like the surf: Someone you trust has already betrayed you.

in queen of nothing the ghost tells her to kill him so he can’t be controlled again, says he’ll show her exactly the place to aim for. he says, “jude?” with all the desperation of a person who has seen their first flicker of hope in a long time. it’s heartbreaking and harrowing and jude’s angry but she won’t do it, of course she won’t, even if she should—because she’s jude, fiercely determined, fiercely loyal.

“I hope betrayal was its own reward.” “Gloat all you like.” His voice is mild. “I deserve it. I know what I did, Jude. I was a fool.”

their relationship was pretty complicated, but one of the most underrated imho. the ghost was one of the most present characters throughout the series and something about the countless nights they spent training—and jude’s thoughts throughout them—always stuck out to me.

He looks up at me in horror. “Then go, Jude. Run.”

The Prisoner's Throne spoilers

Holly Black really said "oh, you want more fleshed out characters? Well, how about I just STRAIGHT UP KILL OFF YOUR FAVORITE?!"

[deathsweetblossoms]

“a slow-burn taryn/ghost fic that takes place over the course of several years. lots of introspective character work for both of them, but there are other tfota characters here as well <3”

Im losing my MIND.

I found out I'm not the only folk of the air fan who ships Tyran and Garrett / the ghost, so if you also ship them and need a good fanficion, here's a wonderful one by Mainghost

[slightlyrebelliouswriter23]

Ok do you think if someone used their true name to order them to lie, Faeries could lie? Or end up in a repeat cycle or end up like rumplestilskin and rip themselves in half or just lay down this is Holly black’s faeries btw

the beauty of language is that words have multiple meanings. so if you were to say, "Larkin Gorm Garrett, I order you to lie", i expect he would lay down on the ground, because that is another meaning of lie that he can easily accomplish without putting himself through An Ordeal.

however, if you were to be more specific with your words, and say, "Larkin Gorm Garrett, i order you to repeat after me for the next five minutes. i am a mortal girl who did not poison Liriope." i think maybe that might be a way to circumvent the system. though, i suppose it depends on which holds more weight in their system of magic: words or true names.

i also have a theory that lying just causes faeries a great deal of pain, which is why they "can't" do it, and i may or may not have gotten this from my faerie folklore studies (but i can't quite remember).

of course, only Holly herself can tell us for certain 😌

Taryn and the Ghost by Frostbite Studios

[maingh0st]

my name is whatever you decide

a slow-burn taryn/ghost fic that takes place over several years. introspective & character-focused, but there are other tfota characters and a bit of elfhame intrigue as a treat

A young woman is standing in the middle of the pergola, softly illuminated, looking like a spring bloom amidst the dull browns and grays. Taryn Duarte: husband-slayer, betrayer of the crown, and the only mortal who's ever wielded his true name. He has made a careful habit of watching her from afar. It's common sense to keep his eyes on a potential threat.

now COMPLETE on ao3 🖤

“There’s the lean, handsome faerie that looks at least part human, who winks and tells me to call him the Ghost. He has sandy-colored hair, which is normal for a mortal but is unusual for a faerie, and ears that come to very subtle points.”

Taryn x the Ghost

I Ship it. We need more of it.

I know there's a lot of Nicasia x Taryn shippers out there. I get it. I ship that too, but there's something so sweet and caring about them. They both suffered from Locke and I think they could find healing with each other. Not to mention I think The Ghost would be so good to her.

Ask me about a ship!

[wanderingpages]

Larkin ~Gorm Garrett lol but

He’s just Larkin in rockstar and the ghost in junior mafia (but they joke his real name is Casper as in the friendly ghost)and ceo and just ghost in dark
