Post QoN

“She’s just playing the part, Cardan,” the Roach tells me, patting my shoulder. “And you should remember this was your idea.”

I guess it actually was my idea to gain the favor of a faraway powerful someone that Jude told me would make a great ally. And I guess it was also my idea that we did this through my wife’s charms. So he is somewhat right…

“Oh, shut up. I can’t hear what they’re saying,” it's what I answer, though.

The Roach's chuckle becomes a distant sound as I walk closer to my wife and the idiot that now happens to be touching her arm. Caressing it up and down. Each time closer to her shoulder, then to her jaw and neck and collarbone and-

“Harold,” I greet, making him look up at me. Jude turns to me as well, one arm still linked with his.

And though she notices my fixated glare there, she doesn’t give away any reaction other than a charming smile.

Harold, however, seems smarter, and moves his arm from hers. Good.

“King Cardan,” he says with shaky voice. I grin wide.

“High King Cardan, if you may.”

“Cardan!” Jude barks, clearly irritated. When I meet her glare in silence, she angrily takes my hand and leads me through the ballroom, totally dismissing stupid little Harold.

“What are you doing?! I almost had him,” she says as we walk.

I stop in my tracks, making her too. “You almost had him,” I repeat. “And what exactly does that mean, lovely wife?”

Jude regards me for a moment, frowning. And when she speaks again, her voice is soft, as if she had understood where my mind had gone: “You know what I mean with that.”

“I thought I knew, but that was before you two got so handsy with each other,” I replied. “Then, I wasn’t exactly sure if a political alliance was what you really wanted from him.”

“Cardan,” she breathes, calm and understanding, and inclines her head to the side. No, that won’t work.

“Jude,” I mimic mockingly. Which makes her chuckle softly.

“I did let him get a bit…handsy,” she admits. “Sorry, Cardan. I didn’t think it would bother you, since we both know my intentions with him. But,… I’m sorry.”

Instead of answering, I let a silent moment unfold upon us. Our eyes are the only thing that communicates our understanding with each other.

“Plus, he’s not that handsome,” she says eventually. “Too soldier-like for my liking.”

At that, I can’t help but laugh. “You’re so funny, huh.”

She smiles as she places her hands on my shoulders, starting a dance. “Do you forgive me, Cardan?”

I nod before slowly spinning her.

Balekin:

'"Mortal girl," Balekin says one afternoon when we're alone in the watery chambers of the palace. He does not like using my name, perhaps because he doesn't like having to recall it, finding me as disposable as all the human girls who come through Hollow Hall.'

Holly has confirmed that in "The Prisoner's Throne," we will be getting Oak's POV, which will include flashbacks of Jude and Cardan after the events of "The Queen of Nothing," as well as present-day Jude and Cardan. Based on this information, I believe that the quote in question is likely to be from a scene that takes place after Hyacinthe's attempt to murder Cardan. (Before the events of TSH) Hyancithe's actions are clearly a huge deal since Jude ordered the bridle to be placed on him for it, so I expect Holly to bring this scene up in TPT. This quote is probably Cardan in the royal chambers, mentally and maybe physically recovering from the attempted murder, while Oak dwells on something that we readers don't know anything about, but it obviously includes Oak's thirst for murder..

@hotkeybooks on TikTok

“Have I ever told you how much you sound like Madoc when you talk about murder?” Cardan asks, opening one eye “because you do" (The Prisoner's Throne)

Elfhame has a problem that us readers don't know about, Oak's actions and reasons for his mission in TSH are still unknown. Saving Madoc from the Court of Teeth was just a small part of why Oak left Elfhame.

3 MONTHS AND 90 DAYS UNTIL RELEASE DAY !!

Sick Jurdan x Doting Jurdan Headcanons

-Cardan doesn’t get sick often, but when he does, it’s bad

-He becomes delirious and loses his carefully calculated composure 

-Luckily, fae sickness cannot be transmitted to humans so Jude can be seen being smothered by an overly affectionate and touch starved Cardan or wrestling him back to bed on more occasions than one

-He also dopily professes how much he loves her in his sick haze (which she pretends to be annoyed at but secretly adores)

-And, in his delirium, Cardan has bouts where he momentarily forgets things like “wait... Jude is mY wIFE?? HoW did I manage that??” 

-Though Jude acts annoyed at his antics, she secretly finds him cute and just wishes for him to get better quickly

-When his sickness finally passes, Jude and the court of shadows poke fun at all of the stoopid things he did when he was sick that he doesn’t even recall, and he just can’t seem to get back his previous reputation.

Jude's birthday party (jurdan fic)

Post QON

⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠁⠂⠄☆

“I thought you told me you understood.” Jude says, which leaves me silent because, unfortunately, I can’t lie.

I told her I understood that she always celebrates her birthday with her twin and that she didn’t want to change that, since it wouldn’t be fair for Taryn.

However, what I don’t understand is why she can’t see that she is now the high queen, and because of that reason she ought to have her own party.

“I- I did” I say, looking down like a little kid. “I was just saying that she can celebrate it the next day.”

She doesn’t seem to take that well because she stares at me with that crazy-look of hers.

“Cardan” Jude responds, separating every vowel. “You won’t tell her that because she’ll agree with you, and she’ll feel bad and blah blah blah. You know how she is.”

I sigh. It’s not that I want to do this to Taryn because I’d enjoy messing with her. The thing is that I want for Jude to have a proper revel in her honor, the queen’s honor.

I see her furiously moving around our chamber, taking clothes and tidying everything, it makes me chuckle.

“What?” She asks when she hears me. “It’s not funny that you are so messy.” Little lying thing she is.

She is the messy one, and actually, these clothes she’s holding right now are hers. I won’t tell her that, though, she’s already too fuming to add any more wood.

She keeps moving around the room. “Judie,” I come closer to her from behind and take her hands, dropping the clothes she’s holding on the floor.

“Don’t call me that.” She hisses, while I can’t suppress a smirk.

“If you want to share your birthday party with her tomorrow, then so be it. It’s your call.” I kiss her cheek, hugging her from behind. “But don’t expect me to share my present for you with her.” She turns to me, grinning now, and hides her face on the crook of my neck.

“What’s your present?” I can feel her lips move as she speaks on my neck. 

“I won’t tell you, wife, you know that.” I’ve been secretly planning her presents for months now, and it’s been hard because she’s all too curious about it, bombarding me with questions every time I mention the day.

“Agh. I want to know.” She sobs exaggeratedly as she moves out of our embrace to stare at me. “If…” She says, smirking playfully. “you tell me about the present, I’ll let you do the revel thing you want to do.” She’s so bad and manipulative, that I can’t help but feel butterflies. 

“You mean celebrating only your birthday. Exclude Taryn. You mean that?” She nods with no apparent guilt. “You mean doing what I have begged you to let me do for months? You mean doing what used to get you mad all the time when I brought it up?” I’m trying to maintain a serious tone now, but it is hard when she keeps nodding with that mischievous smile on. “Only because you do not wish to wait a day to know what your presents are?” 

Suddenly Jude’s lips part in surprise to next become, once again, a smile. “What?” I ask confused. “Presents? You said presents. In plural.”

She misses nothing. “You are-” -Really annoying- I want to say, but again, I can’t lie.

“I’m what?” She laughs, coming closer again to wrap her arms around my waist.

“Well, now that I’ve told you about my present, you’ll let me do your party my way, won’t you?” I ask, my lips on her hair.

“Mmm… I don’t think the treaty was ever settled. Plus, it wasn't intentional to tell me. It wouldn’t be fair.”

I can’t see it, but I’d bet my kingdom she is right now smirking, thinking of me foolish.

"I wasn't kind, Jude. Not to many people. Not to you. I wasn't sure if I wanted you or if I wanted you gone from my sight so that I would stop feeling as I did, which made me even more unkind. But when you were gone—truly gone beneath the waves—I hated myself as I never have before."

Jurdan really went

Throwing a girl in a river and then immediately knowing you fucked up bc she’s giving you “I’ll kill you vibes”

Dancing along with shading Locke and “you really do hate me don’t you? Almost as much as you hate me”

Crawling under a table to escape being murdered🤌

Holding a knife to his throat well also being lowkey scared even tho he’s drunk and can barely hold himself up

They “hate” eachother and often think about eachother

Kissing while being held hostage and walking through the steps together that’s he’s going to use on another person to suduce her to get info

Marriage (edited- with rings they stole from eachother)

Exile: *unread love letters**

*bonus she slaps him bc she got her feelings hurt*

Consummating marriage

Saying “I love you*runs away* “I love you *slicing your snake head clean off* “I love you *for real this time and I always knew you*

[i-simp-for-women]

I got glasses, had a reading slump because I stopped taking my antidepressants, and my nephew destroyed my first copy of The Cruel Prince I almost killed his father for that so I had to get another one, I FINALLY finished it without interruptions and I just have this to say.

I'm in love with Jude.

Cardan's tail doesn't bother me, for some reason.

Everyone is mean in different ways.

Taryn WTF, why? For a boy??? Could never be me. Did you learn NOTHING from Eva??? I shouldn't agree with Madoc but that will indeed not end well...

Why is Locke still alive?

How does the dirt taste Valerian? Are the horses good neighbors??? >:)

Ngl, I feel bad for Cardan, but even I saw that coming.

The tension in the epilogue is crazy.

@ahighlyfunctionalfangirl you were right ❤
