Ok, so I really want someone to write Jurdan being friends with benefits and developing feelings for each other when they’re in college. Like they already had feelings but it turned serious over time, that kinda thing. I really wanted someone to write this and I feel like you’d do a great GREAT job. I’d like it to be a series but one shot is just fine as well. Your fics are amazing so that’s why I asked. No pressure though. Feel free to ignore this request. 😁
Ps : LOVE THE NEW CHAPTER OF GETAWAY GIRL!! It was amazing!! 💕
Dear anon, those kinds of fics are some of my favorites! I will definitely, definitely keep this in mind when I finish writing getaway girl 😉 Thank you so much for the request!
In the meantime, given that trope list, might I point you towards one of fandom’s finest, Fine Line by @slightlyrebelliouswriter23? No matter what the question is, this fic is always the answer.

A Jurdan AND a Hinny fan? Your taste, ma’am!!! 
(Also typing this while still a puddle of goo from your AO3 comment) 
getaway girl (Chapter 2)
Tumblr media
The Jurdan “Actors” AU
“How have you been?” The question is as double-edged as the blade in her hand. No matter what she answers, he’ll find a way to cut her with it.
She keeps her eyes on his feet, waiting. “Busy.”
Or: 
She hasn’t seen Cardan since the table read.

It would be most kind of you to bless us with another sneak peak of getaway girl, please 🥺 sincerely love your work ❤️ that line of cardan saying “I never thought she was you” has been living in my head rent free
I believe will be a whole lot more than a sneak peak coming in, oh, a few hours? 😉
But in the meantime...

hey! i was just reading “devil’s finery” and…
“What will you do while I’m away?” It’s a leading question, because she knows the right answer. And he does, too, even if he doesn’t like it.
“Await your return.”
“And after?”
“Await your return.”
IT’S LITERALLY THAT ONE MEME THAT GOES “what do you normally do when I’m gone?” “wait for you to come back” aaaaaa I love this!!!! 😂
Not Cardan slacking off on all kingly duties just to wait for Jude after that one time she didn't come home right away when he exiled her 😂

April fools Jurdan ask, Cardan watches Titanic do you think He’d drive elfhame insane with My heart will go on singing? Every day?
Oh, yeah. But not as bad as when he discovered “Hey Jude” by The Beatles 😉

I just read glitterlight!!! and i can’t stop imagining cardan reading alice in wonderland to his little alice 🤏🏻🥺
Cardan: "I see!" said the Queen, who had meanwhile been examining the roses. "Off with their heads!"—and here, Alice mine, is a model example of a queen from which your mother takes great inspiration—
Jude: Don't give me any ideas, dear.

getaway girl (Chapter 2 snippet)
aka the Jurdan “Actors” AU
Since writing is taking a bit longer than expected, here is a little sneak peek of Chapter 2! 
[Read Chapter 1 Here]
Tumblr media
“On the contrary. You’ll find my attention is exactly where I want it to be.”
That voice. It almost tips her over, hearing it again. The first words he’s spoken to her in two years. How is it that he sounds exactly the same? The shape of his vowels, the cadence born only of well-paid tutors and summers abroad. How is it that he sounds like not a day has passed since he said the words that changed everything?
I never thought she was you.
“Hello, Jude.”
A jolt runs through her when she sees that he’s looking at her. His eyes trace the length of her body, a lazy pass from her loosening ponytail to the scuffed toes of her shoes. She’s sweaty and flushed with the rush of a good fight. She doesn’t look anything like a glamorous, pampered, A-list movie star. She doesn’t look like anything that belongs in his world.
With that one disdainful look and the clear insinuation of his words, her mistake is glaringly obvious. She gave him an opening. She let her guard down.
She slams them back up. He won’t be getting in again.
Easing her face into a neutral position, Jude raises her practice sword. “Greenbriar.”
That’s when it happens. Like witnessing a car crash you can’t look away from, Jude watches as the corners of his lips curl into a smile she knows so well. A smile she has thought about, has dreamed about wiping off his face for too many years.
Yes. There. That mocking smile of his.
“Well,” Cardan says. “This looks familiar.”

Cardan has met his match 😂
i loved glitterlight!!! my headcanon is that jude and cardan have a babygirl and later when she's old enough they take her to the christmas village again and sammy is there and they meet and become buddies
This headcanon warmed my cold, dead heart, Anon. Please take this flufftastic drabble as a thank you ❤️✨
_______
afterlight
700 words, short continuation of glitterlight
There is no putting it off any longer.
It’s been five years since they started coming to the Christmas Village after Jude gave birth, and every year has been inching closer and closer to this inevitable outcome.
In Cardan’s arms, their daughter perks up. It’s the exact same thing she’d done last year, and they’d had to spend the whole day distracting her with toys and sweets because she was still too young. The upturned little nose is all Jude, but the way she wrinkles it and looks down at her father is imperiously Greenbriar. “I want to go there.”
Cardan casts a wary glance at the ice skating rink that has just come into view. “Surely you would rather visit with the large red man again, instead?”
She shakes her head, long black ringlets bouncing at her back with her fervor. Jude had thought to cut her hair soon, but right now it’s long enough to hide the delicate points of her ears without glamour, and so she had left it alone for now. “Go,” she says, pointing. “There.”
Keep reading

hi!!!! i wanted to tell you that something I absolutely adore about cardan is that he speaks in a very like archaic way (?) i don’t know how to put it, but it sounds old and elegant, like someone out of the 18th century, like straight out of an old classic tale about kings and kinghts and balls (which I guess he is, in earnest) and so his way of speech is very peculiar and it makes me melt. i have seen a little amount of other fics that successfully portray him that way, and yours are the best in my opinion. you capture him PERFECTLY. i love your cardan as much as I love canon cardan. you are a wonderful writer !!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An anon after my own heart! I, too, melt thinking about the way Cardan talks. Reading this absolutely made my day, thank you so much! ❤️

Favorite TCP Moments: Chapter 24-Epilogue
A very much delayed conclusion to the TCP reread for @wornpagelibrary​​’s January Book of the month! Every single scene in this last set of chapters could easily make my favorite moments list. But just like Cardan and Jude, I too have endeavored to repress myself and my raging feelings:
1. “I smile a lot when I’m nervous. I can’t help it.”—I love how this radically recontextualizes Cardan as a character. Up until this point, Jude has consistently narrated Cardan as powerful and scornful. He is always smiling mockingly at her. But this one line demolishes that veneer and exposes him for what he truly is: a dramatic, drunk, problematic hot mess with a crush on a pretty girl that he doesn’t know how to act around. Aka, the simp we knew he was all along.
Tumblr media
2. The whole first kiss scene is a moment—It’s as much a kiss as it is a fight: with each other, and with themselves. And when they give up and give in, it’s both a sweet loss and a wicked victory. My favorite part about this whole scene and the conversation that precedes it is Cardan’s self-aware embarrassment about it all. He’s this combination of resigned and self-deprecating as his feelings are dragged out of him by the ruthless object of his affections. Makes me laugh every time. Also: he’s imagined kissing her!
Tumblr media
3. The following very interesting duality of Jude Duarte 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I could go on and on. Instead, here are more lists because these two are idiots, and just like them, I couldn’t keep myself restrained, either.
More things Jude notices as she swears she absolutely hates Cardan:
his deft hands splitting the deck of cards, even as his glittering eyes stay on her (glittering eyes count total: 4)
how he is sickeningly handsome, stretched out on a cot
his bed-messy hair that makes her hot with shame
his long fingers curling against hers
his long fingers tracing over the paper (Jude thirsting after his long fingers count total: 5)
the way he looks at her through dark lashes
his lazy grin and the sick thrill it gives her
the memory of his mouth on hers stealing into her thoughts, so that the possibility of kissing hangs over everything (Jude thirsting after his mouth count total: 17382014486)
Moments when Cardan’s feelings were way too obvious:
when he knows her so well that he knows she already has a plan
when he lets his guard down to greet his Door Friend even though his sworn-enemy Jude Duarte™ is standing right there
when he’s powerless to resist tracing the curve of her ear
when he grabs her wrist and tells her to take care before talking to the other Courts
when Nicasia comments that he finally slipped from Jude’s bonds and he goes, “Did I?”
when he admits to his depraved tastes, aka his sworn-enemy Jude Duarte™
when he tucks her arm firmly through his before entering the throne room
when he can’t help but parade her around on his arm
when he notices the bruise on her jaw after her fight with Madoc
when he lets her sit on his throne because one day he’s going to give Jude her own throne
Moments when I felt physically and emotionally attacked by this book:
Pages 1 to 370
In short: I should reread books I love more often, it’s so much fun.

Favorite TCP Moments: Chapters 16-23
The Cruel Prince reread hosted by @wornpagelibrary​! 
This set of chapters was packed with character development for Jude (and I love that for her, bye Valerian) but the whole time I was just so aware that THE KISS was coming. Sorry, Greenbriar family. I’m just here for the kithy kithy with a side of crossbow to the throat. 
1. Cardan getting kissed while staring at Jude during Locke’s party—This will never not be iconic pining, oh my God. Holly, if you’re out there: bless us with a Cardan POV of this and reap the harvest of our undying gratitude. 
Tumblr media
2. The dance! Cardan straight up cutting in during her spin with Locke!—I’m just imagining Cardan’s restraint snapping and him just finally allowing himself to cut in and getting his hands on Jude. This is the most forward and direct with his actions he’s been all book. Case in point, once he got her in his arms, boi really didn’t waste any time, did he? 
Tumblr media
3. The two of them working together after the coronation massacre—Jude, honey, if Cardan really hated you, do you think he would: 
(a) look for you under the tables despite being drunk off his ass, 
Tumblr media
(b) explicitly worry about your safety multiple (!) times,
Tumblr media
(c) lose his breath the moment you let your hair down?
Tumblr media
BONUS: 
An indeterminate tally of the things Jude has noted, observed, or remarked on about Cardan: 
his glittering eyes
his simmering eyes
his long fingers smoothing over the desk
his hair blowing in the wind
his mouth flecked with gold
his lazy, hateful stare by the hedgemaze
his cheekbones streaked with dark silver paint
his lashes, dark and lined with black
She thinks she hates him. Yup.

ALSO cardan creates a secret fan account of jude and the user is something like @/queenduarte16 and he follow all her update accounts, memes etc etc and one day jude likes one of his posts obviously without knowing it’s him and he shows off his Jude Notice to all the other fans and they’re like “OMG CONGRATS” jsksjs
Interviewer: Mr. Greenbriar, what role of yours has been the most enjoyable to play?
Cardan "@queenduarte16" Greenbriar: The most important role of my life—Jude Duarte's number one simp

$@$¥#^#€%¥€.!]!$&@ YOU’RE WRITING A FIC ABOUT THE ACTOR AU!????? I’M DECEASED
btw when I read the part where jude reads the notification of a fan acc following her and it’s “@cardxngreenbriardaily” I DIED
imagine how chaotic it would be if cardan really had a fandom, i’m genuinely having the time of my life reading this !!! i hope jude also gets to have her own fandom too <3 and imagine the SHIPPERS oh my god…
which lead me to think… cardan definitely sees all the posts people make about him and jude, he also reads the fanfics !!!! you can’t change my mind
i can’t wait for the next update oh my god 😢😭😭
I had to double check and make sure that @cardxngreenbriardaily wasn't a real account anywhere asdfghjkl
imagine the SHIPPERS
cardan definitely sees all the posts people make about him and jude, he also reads the fanfics
You are giving me ✨ideas✨ dear Anon 👀
