Summary
a jurdan fic by ryhanna
prompt: “Jude is kidnapped and tortured. Cardan desperately tries to find her. She returns but has severe injuries and trauma” requested by an anonymous ao3 user
Jude Duarte only saw darkness at first. An endless chasm beyond her with nothing discernable or recognisable. For a short moment, she suspected herself to be dead, for the clutches of the grim reaper to finally find her. It was a ridiculous notion, one caused by the cartoons her mother had forbade her from watching and the order she had rebelled against. A supernatural force, cloaked in all back with a scythe longer than the reaper was tall. She’d grown to fear the figure, an unavoidable habit she still had. Her heart beat uneasily when a faerie’s cloak was too long, her palms clammy when she saw a curved blade attached to an intricately carved staff. She’d barely hidden her panic attack the last time one of their many subjects had gifted her the gardening tool. Jude had been sure they knew of her irrational phobia, taking advantage of the weakness but no one had yet to make a move. Leaving her to think in the silence.

Summary
Jude doesn’t drink. Cardan doesn’t say no to Jude. One night, she drinks too much and decides she wants him- Loudly, explicitly, and without her usual self-restraint. The next morning Cardan’s worried she’ll regret it. Jude regrets exactly nothing, except maybe the hangover.
(Or: Jude lets her guard down, Cardan panics about consent, and somehow this ends with cuddling. It’s disgusting.)

Summary
At his party in the maze, Locke decides that getting under Cardan’s skin adds an amusing twist to the game he has been playing with the twins. This provocation sets off a chain of events that forces Jude—ever so furious—to question her alliances, drawing her closer to her sworn enemy: the youngest prince of Elfhame.
A canon-divergent fic picking up right after Chapter 16 of The Cruel Prince—certain plot points take a more favorable turn than in the original book.
[Cardan] tastes of faerie wine and bittersweet nevermore—all decadent temptation and bad decisions. And somehow, it’s comforting, even if he is my enemy. I deepen the kiss, my teeth clashing against his, my fingers threading through his tousled curls, soft as thistledown.
I love this. Every second of it.
He must hate it. I hope he does.
He stills, lingering against my lips. Slowly—so very slowly—he withdraws like a mouse caught in honey, each movement a struggle between want and wariness. His hands skim down my arms before his fingers tangle with mine, tentative, trembling. "Jude?"
