“This will never be your world, mortal,” she says.“This is mine,” I say, anger making me reckless. “My land and my king. And I will protect them both. Say the same, go on.”

Run to You - a Jude x Cardan one shot.

Jude has a little accident. Cardan doesn’t take it well.

“It’s just a sprain and a few scratches, Cardan. I’ll be fine” I say, very well knowing that a dislocated shoulder and eleven stitches aren’t exactly a scratch, but also knowing my husband worries too much. About everything. Especially me. I should probably smack Vivi in the head for having him fly here like a maniac from Elfhame just because I got hit by a car, but moving kind of hurts right now. She also isn’t here, but Cardan is, losing his shit. “You told me those nefarious machineries you call cars were perfectly safe. You also told me you’d be back in a few hours. You told me—” his monologue is interrupted by a nurse, who looks at him from square to toe, taking in the crown he didn’t bother taking off before stepping into a mortal hospital demanding to see his wife, the way-too-big leather raincoat that belonged Heather’s father we gave him to better cover his tail - which I understand is a peculiar sight, in the middle of summer. “Do you mind turning the volume down, loverboy? there are patients trying to rest here” she says, and before Cardan can start a different rant about how he’s a king and she should watch her tone when speaking to him, I smile awkwardly and say “He’s sorry. We’ll be quite.” The nurse doesn’t look convinced, but she leaves us alone. Cardan sighs. Here we go. “I’m sorry” I provide, “it’s not like I planned to get hit right outside the door” I add, trying to keep my tone playful, but there’s no trace of humour in his eyes, and my heart breaks a little. He walks towards the bed and carefully sits next to me. I wouldn’t describe Cardan as a serious person, but there is a heaviness in his posture that I don’t see often, and I’ve come to learn what it means: I’ve scared him to death. “I’ve been through it once” he starts, then clears his throat as it breaks on the last word. “I’ve been through it once, thinking I’d lost you. I wish I could explain to you what it does to me when you leave, even for a day. It doesn’t feel right.” He pauses, licks his lips. I take his hand, because I want to. “And perhaps it is selfish of me, but you know that by now. If it were up to me I would never leave your side.” I don’t say anything. I’m suddenly choked up. He traces his thumb over my knuckles and his ring propels an almost imperceptible chill down my spine, but I’m not so sure it’s the metal. He finally looks me in the eyes. “I couldn’t bear it, Jude. Losing you. The thought alone makes me sick. So please—” he swallows, “be careful. Even if you think you’re perfectly safe, there are too many things that could go wrong. And I don’t accept any of it. I can’t.” I thought I knew how Cardan felt about me, but his words are like a key opening a locked door, and they hit me like a brick in the face, and it is somehow ten times worse than the throbbing pain in my shoulder. He loves me so much, and values my life above everything else. “You’re right” I say quietly, holding his gaze. “I promise I’ll be more careful.” He nods and presses a kiss to my knuckles, resting his forehead there. “Although now that I’ve been stabbed and been run over I’m starting to think faerie immortality is rubbing off on—” “That’s quite enough, my queen” his eyes wide with exasperation, but he’s smiling. We both are.

THIS IS SO CUTEEEE

[lostalittle]

Vivi, trying to teach Jude how to drive: Okay, you're driving and Taryn and Locke walk into the road. Quick, what do you hit?

Jude: Oh, definitely Locke. I could never hurt Taryn.

Vivi, massaging her temples: The brakes, Jude. You hit the brakes.

[eerna]

some classic shenanigans to celebrate the end of my reread wooooo

[judesidepiece]

Something that I love about Jude and Cardan is they actually raise hell for each other. In other books, characters will often make these grand declarations of love and say things like 'i would burn the world for you' or destroy everything for you or whatever, but with Jurdan, they don't rlly say stuff like that to each other, they just do it. Like Cardan signing off a peace treaty allowing the undersea to attack the land and risk war to get Jude back, going against his morals and killing Madoc's guards when they were taking her, or Jude letting Snardan poison the land as long as possible because she was searching for a way to bring him back.

Jude and Cardan both wondering if it’s each other. Our fav soulmates.

[cardangreenbriarloml]

jude, drunk: don't tell cardan, but i have a crush on him.

cardan, grinning: i definitely won't.

[rabbitholessk]

Cardan is the type to get bites or hickeys from Jude the night before a revel and chooses to wear the most exposing doublet or shirt so he can display his Queen’s marks.

(Of course Jude stops him, but he can’t not try.)

[lazersanwrld]

"Get down on your knees," Cardan says, looking insufferably pleased with himself. His fury has transmuted into gloating. "Beg. Make it pretty. Flowery. Worthy of me."

anyways i love cardan
