“Give her everything you have and Jude will never be satisfied. Humble yourself and beg, swear your love every day and keep promises all your life. And she’ll tire of you. She’ll get bored and look for another fool who will interest her more. She’ll break your heart until there’s nothing left to hurt.” Once upon a time, there was a boy with a heart of glass that broke into a thousand pieces. But his mother was wrong. Jude Duarte didn’t give in to easy feelings. She honored her choices and valued the love of those who were faithful to her. Jude was loyal. “Say what you like, I’m no longer the silly, needy boy you looked down on. I know that passion and love aren’t the same thing. And Jude loves me as much as I love her. It’s sincere, and you can’t ruin it like you do everything you touch.” She stared at him with eyes blazing with anger Then a smile spread across her flushed lips. “You’re right. You’re no longer the silly child I used to despise. Now, you’re the foolish boy Jude Duarte will despise.” She stroked his jaw with her sharp nails and turned away, heading back to the palace without looking back.

“If you want to go, then go, I won’t stop you.” Cardan managed to say, treacherous voice sounding hoarse, Jude’s hands gripping the door handle. “But if you go, know that you need never come back, forget I exist. Forget everything.” Please, come back. Please, let go of that damn door and tell me you still love me. Come back to me, Jude. He pleaded in his mind for a long moment where she remained motionless. Then Jude turned the knob and walked away without looking back, the door slamming with a bang behind her.

As if being threatened by a crazy stalker who wants to destroy his life wasn’t enough trouble to deal with, Cardan Greenbriar could never have imagined that having a scary bodyguard and a breathtaking girl would make him even more out of his mind. None of them were prepared for what was to come.

“I am the one who desperately wants you.” He stroked her cheeks in his long-fingered hand. “Say what you want and I’ll give you anything, anything you wish. If you asked me for the stars, I’d go up to the sky and knock them down for you. I’d make the planet stop spinning, Jude. Just ask and I will give you everything I have and steal what I don’t have.” “I don’t wish for anything. All I want is you. It is more than enough.” She slid her fingers under his chin and pulled him to her, their mouths intertwining effortlessly. Cardan steals Jude from the feast to show a surprise. Based on the deleted scene from The Queen of Nothing.

"How do you prefer it when we make love?" He asked suddenly. Jude stared at him with a frown. "What? Are you delirious with fatigue?" She asked, her mind sluggishly not understanding what he meant. "I'm serious." He retorted offended. "I mean, what's your favorite way to make love? How can I explain.... The position of our bodies."

as a reader i can tell you that i love reading smutty scenes especially when they’re super explicit so go!! have fun!! i promise that you’ll have at least one person (me) gushing over you fics!!!

also, what you mentioned some time ago about wanting to write about cardan being jealous of oak bc he has jude’s love and attention, i’d LOVE to read it. you said that you thought some people would think it’s weird but personally i think it’d be such an interesting piece !!

i’d adore to read your take on cardan’s relationship with nicasia vs with jude, too

so don’t feel embarrased about the way you write!! sending you so much love 💖💘💝💕💞💓💗🩷💖💘💝💕💞💓

Sorry for the delay to answer and thank you very muuuch, your message made me sooo happy 🥹🥹 Also this topic are very funny to me because I believe most of us in Jurdan fandom are women and we are just “yeees I wanna read about sex explicit” idk is just so relatable bc I love read that type of story too, especially when comfort and trust are involved, and some people just underestimate women sex interests, but we can be worse than men lol.

I've already written about this in The Bodyguard, but it's canon that Cardan and Jude recognize each other because they both have wounded souls. Nicasia, however, doesn't seem to have suffered at any point in her life, and although Locke is practically an abandoned boy with a ruined family, he seems extremely insensitive to it, but Cardan isn’t. He has always had a deep bitterness inside him, a restlessness that haunted him, created by his fears and abandonment.

She liked his personality, and I don't believe Cardan was such an absent lover that he made her feel needy, but I think something kept them apart. In the novel The King of Elfhame, it is said that the evilness of both brings them together, but while Nicasia is evil for pure pleasure, for Cardan cruelty is a defense mechanism. If being a villain is what unites them, but most of the time Cardan strives to be a villain, then what really unites the two?

In the tale “The Lament of Lutie-Loo,” Cardan tells the fairy that he also feels imprisoned in front of Nicasia, which makes me wonder if he shared his sorrows with her. He told her about his life, of course, but did he confide in her? Did Cardan seek out Nicasia when he felt sad and inadequate, or did he prefer her company just to get drunk and forget his suffering? Did he seek the comfort of her embrace, or did he continue to wear his mask even with her, while hurting others in an attempt to lessen his own suffering?

In his letters, Cardan writes to Jude that she knows all his weaknesses, referring to his cowardice and cruelty. Now, when Nicasia asks Jude to save him from his curse, she simply cannot understand why he does good things, like helping mortal slaves.

Jude likes Cardan's good side, but she loves him for his bad side too, because she loves him for who he is. Nicasia, on the other hand, only admires his cruel side. While Jude embraces Cardan's suffering because she understands it, Nicasia helps him ignore it.

You were clever Knew when to deliver your lines > Jude always has a sharp reply at the tip of her tongue. And make it seem like you weren't that bright >When she had to pretend she wasn't as skilled and intelligent as any fae You were better In every way by design You were too good for a man's confines > Too good for any ordinary man to have any real chance, sorry

How come we never even dated But I still find myself thinking of you daily? Why do you always leave me aching When you were never mine for the taking? > Cardan thoughts during TCP and TWK, I just know

I can't make you love me No, I can't make you love me Babe, I can't make you love me > Self-explanatory
