Summary
What if this still isn‘t enough? Cardan thought. What if her hate for him got so tremendous, she never wanted to see him again. What if Jude really had turned her back on Elfhame. He was frightened, Cardan realised. Terrified even, at the thought of never seeing her again. Never is forever- his own words.
———————
This is a fanfiction from Cardans point of view while writing his infamous letters to Jude.Plus a short bonus chapter of his POV during Judes return (cause I couldn’t leave him heartbroken like that)

Summary
“Here” says Vivi, passing me her phone. “I made you a tinder.”
“A what?” I ask, immediately suspicious. I take the offered phone like it’s a snake and peer at the screen. The first thing I see is a picture of me at the bar we went to last night. I’m beaming at the camera and holding a glass of wine precariously in one hand. Beneath the picture is my name and age. There’s also the caption, you had me at merlot, followed by list of likes that include fitness and dogs, each accompanied by a matching emoji.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jude is feeling low after the events of TWK and Vivi and Heather take it upon themselves to cheer her up.

Summary
He knew he may never open up in the way he had before ever again. His longings, all desperate for her, stayed mostly inside. Considering her lack of response to his pleas, he made a pact with himself to ensure his wants would never be spoken, in words or on paper, again. He was a fool for thinking she would want to keep him company.
-------------
He … liked her. As much was certain. He thought he was ready to go as far as to say he loved her, and to be content with it.
Now, on the throne, he wasn’t sure.
The one he’d wished for in his empty bed stood in front of him, pretending to be someone else entirely.or also: the prophecy
