Summary
When Jude Duarte was given the task of protecting rising rockstar Cardan Greenbriar from a dangerous stalker, her intuition already told her it would be a tricky mission. But the capricious, irresponsible and annoyingly attractive boy seems to make everything even more difficult.
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.
The synopsis is terrible, but give me a chance.

The Return of the Queen by HighLadyOfRomanceAndAngst

Summary
Summary: Cardan thought Jude would know that his words were false and she would return from exile in the mortal world as his queen. To his surprise and distress, she did not. Even more distressing are the rumors floating around the court that Locke was killed at the hand of Taryn, and Jude had found herself in combat with Grima Mog. His fears are confirmed by his mother, Lady Asha. With time running out, Cardan rushes to the mortal world to find Jude before something else does. If he can't convince her to return, or worse, finds her dead, Cardan knows that his heart will wither without her.
Prompt: i have been thinking about the time jude was exiled to the mortal world and like the work she did and i would love a fanfic about cardan somehow finding out about her stumbling home injured etc (maybe he hears it from spies or like gossip among the court or maybe he has decided to show up at the apartment and catches her in the act — maybe instead of it being taryn that’s the guest in qon it’s cardan) and like him losing his mind because he is worried about her. i would especially love if it’s him finding out that she fought grima mog because it was really reckless of her.

Summary
In a reality in which Eva Duarte hasn't been murdered by Madoc and has agreed to return to Elfhame for the safety of her daughters, Jude and her sisters lead a slightly different life. Vivi is about to enter the Elfhame's Preparatory Academy, popularly known as the “Arena”, a place that has never accepted humans as students before. This changes, however, when Jude, who is just accompanying her sister on her first day, shows exceptional talent and ends up being accepted into the institution.
All Jude Duarte wants is a chance to improve her fighting skills so that one day she can be part of the Court of Elfhame as a knight. She realizes that this won't be easy, though, when she is forced to share a dormitory with the worst possible person: the sixth son of High King Eldred, Cardan Greenbriar.

Summary
“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.

The crowd in front of me doesn’t part for me anymore. I only lived with the respect of being seneschal for the shortest time, but I feel entitled to it nonetheless. I know the power I had was lessened by my mortality. It was still power.
I am greedy to have it back.

Summary
“Are you going to help me take my clothes off too?” I meant it to sound teasing – I wanted to show him I could play his game too – but I was breathless, I was buzzing with anticipation.
“You know it wouldn’t end there, Jude,” he gave me a wry look. “It's a shame,” he rose and ruffled my hair, “It's a shame you’re my sister,” he murmured, needlessly reminding me. “Because that was some damn fine pussy, baby.”
