"What makes you think I'd want to go back after everything that happened? I've been here for months, and this place has actually grown on me. My life is here now." Oh, I know this game. I am the champion of this game- no contenders. She's not fooling anyone but herself. "So you won't mind then if I just left now?" I challenge. "Once I'm gone you're on your own. Are you willing to risk that?" "I am." The Cruel Prince fanfiction! Takes place after The Wicked King. Jude is exiled to the mortal world, forced out of her life and her home in Faerie. Will she be able to make sense of what was done to her and piece together the enormous puzzle before her? Or has she given up on everything entirely? These are not necessarily my exact predictions of where Queen of Nothing will pick up when it comes out next year, but there are elements to this story that I think could play a huge role in the third book in the series. And I'm obsessed with Jude and Cardan's dynamic, so I can't not write about them. I hope you enjoy! Disclaimer: Of course, everything belongs to the enchanting Holly Black.

*ALL CHARACTERS AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING ELSE GOOD ABOUT THIS STORY BELONGS TO HOLLY BLACK* After the ending scene in the QON (aka don't read this if you haven't read the QON), Cardan decides to stay a while. Oak begs to go to the amusement park, and while Cardan is scared as heck, Jude agrees happily.

WARNING!!!! This fanfic may contain spoilers!!!! This is a story about Cardan and Jude in the mortal world and how Jude is taking Cardan to play laser tag.

Jurdan The Folk of the Air Series fanfic. NOT MY CHARACTERS!!!

"I've been warned in my ten years in Faerie to never make bargains with the Folk, but I am the one who can lie. The Folk should be warned to never make bargains with me." Takes place right after The Wicked King! Exiled to the mortal world, Jude begins to lose hope of returning to Elfhame. And revenge is not the only thing she seeks, she will stop at nothing to get back what she has earned. One thing she has learned well being raised in Faerieland: trickery and bargains are almost just as deceiving as having the ability to lie. Cover Art by @darkandbeautifulart, used with permission.

***MAJOR WICKED KING SPOILERS (set two months after end of book)*** Back in the normal world, Jude is desperate to return to Faerie. So when the High King Cardan turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep, she sees a chance to use him to find a way home. But Jude and Cardan have been playing each other for a long time, and neither can hold up their charades for ever. The night will turn out very differently to what both had planned.

Jude and Cardan are becoming parents - fluff. It's just fluff. I'm back and writing again wooooo! New chapters soon!
