    Summary

    Cardan hasn’t seen all sides of Jude Duarte. The thing that differs from his and most everyone’s understanding of her, is that he knows it. Knows she’s more than just a human girl who got lucky, knows that the danger of her isn’t that she wants the king’s favour, but that she doesn’t care for it.

    And yet, it’s somehow still a surprise when he felts the point of her dagger at his throat again. If nothing else, he hadn’t thought she could move so quietly. They pause there for a moment, the king on his balcony, the Queen in the shadows behind him. A decanter of wine rests on an elegantly wrought table where he had been about to indulge.

    A shame he hadn’t started sooner.

    Summary

    “I could order you to be useful,” I say, soft.

    He steps forward, into my space. Lifts his chin, a challenge written in the clench of his jaw. “Why don’t you?”

    There’s heat in him, too. I make a mental catalogue of all my weapons, knowing he can’t hurt me and feeling comfort in the routine anyway. He doesn’t need his freedom to get under my skin. He does that well enough by existing.

    Summary

    She won’t have to feel this. A heavy weight that’s not quite agony, but not light enough to be less than a burden. She won’t have to feel haunted, won’t have to feel the remnants of the events she’s endured.

    Just a bite. Just a little while, in the safety of her orchard. Just a bite and she won’t have to be so scared.

    OR

    It’s a year after the Battle of the Serpent, and in the midst of dishing out punishment and learning how to rule, Jude Duarte has found her footing. The first mortal queen of Faerie, the first to ever be chosen by the king and the land. It’s a title she intends to hold onto for years to come, even if the blood running through her veins will expire long before Cardan reaches his middle age.

    But despite being crowned with the power she had dreamed of her whole life, there are some parts of her that can’t seem to leave. She might be a queen, but she can still feel pain. There are days where power can’t chase it away.

    OR OR

    Jude never really talked about her trauma during the events of FotA, and she gets a horrible idea of how to deal with them

    Summary

    "'Spock,' Jim breathes out, completely overwhelmed by the gesture—not quite believing that Spock knows him so well, that's he's already started researching, that he trusts Jim with a member of his own endangered species."

    When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.

    Summary

    Have you ever felt drawn to the lasting untold tales in the perspective of the High King? Well, congratulations, you have been wrapped into a journey where—if you beg adequately for it, you shall receive as Cardan Greenbriar is many things but not a fae to starve one's curiosity.

    (In which I do my best to embody Cardan’s pov during the whole trilogy including offscreen moments i. e. TwK 6 months timeskip & QoN scenes with some non canon details or perceptions <3)
