Summary
Jude Duarte doesn’t have friends. She has her twin, her books, her treehouse, and an unshakable determination to punch anyone who makes Taryn cry. That’s enough. It should be enough.
But then there’s him. The faerie prince who keeps slipping into her world like it belongs to him - stealing her cookies, mocking her treehouse, and leaving her with more questions than answers. Cardan Greenbriar is sharp-tongued and entirely too arrogant for someone who can be bribed with mortal snacks.
Jude swore she didn’t need friends. Unfortunately, Cardan didn’t ask for permission before becoming one anyway.
In which Jude Duarte punches boys, hides cookies, and maybe falls in love with her enemy.

Summary
In the kingdom of Elfhame, where shadows whisper secrets and power is a deadly game, Lilia has always stood out for one thing: she is human. Raised among the Folk, she learned early that strength is not just a matter of swords and poison, but also of will and words. She seeks neither glory nor revenge, but just a place where she can exist without having to fight for every breath.
Beside her is Jude, her dearest friend, who always seems one step ahead in understanding the ruthless rules of the fairy court. But Jude has her secrets, like the way his gaze lingers too long on Nicasia, the proud princess of the sea.
And then there is Cardan, a prince with an indolent air and a poisonous smile. He is everything Lilia despises: effortlessly cruel, frivolous by nature, and, above all, a problem she does not want to face. And yet, by a twist of fate, their paths continue to intertwine.
Lilia knows that challenging the faeries is dangerous. But challenging Cardan? That could be an even bigger mistake.
*This story is inspired by and based on the book The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

A Revolutionary Walks into a Fairy Court… by FoamyYourLordAndMaster

Summary
Fyodor Edinstvo, a ruthless former Soviet informant and self-proclaimed purveyor of suffering, is executed in 1952. But instead of finding oblivion, he awakens in the twisted, beautiful world of Elfhame—a realm ruled by capricious faeries, ancient politics, and glamours more dangerous than bullets.
And then there’s the matter of his black blood.
And the way his wounds heal without aid.
Or the tar-black phantoms—twisted echoes of Soviet soldiers—who rise from the earth to obey him, still saluting their long-dead commander.
Fyodor isn’t sure what he is anymore. A weapon? A curse? A relic dragged back from the grave?
Disoriented but not broken, Fyodor is soon entangled in the affairs of Queen Jude Duarte, a mortal who clawed her way to the throne with blood and steel. Though steeped in magic and myth, Elfhame proves no less treacherous than the USSR—just more honest in its deceit.
As Fyodor grapples with the memories of a brutal past and the mysterious force keeping him alive, he finds himself torn between his old gospel of universal suffering and the haunting ghost of his younger brother’s idealism.
