cardan pov ch 21 anon here— I totally wouldn't mind a long, steamy detailed one 😍

Ps - you're a sweetheart to even give the option 🤧

Yessss -- you are my kind of people. (I was actually hoping someone would want this! lol.) Gather around, my thirsty sinners. You asked for it - it’s His Monstrous Bride Part III. (This isn’t all that explicit -- I tried to make it pretty. :) ) 

(Also I didn’t do much editing - sorry. I need to get back to work. LOL.)

For reference, here’s His Monstrous Bride and His Monstrous Bride Part II and this little steamy Cardan POV drabble from The Wicked King and also this sappy thing.

------------------------------------

There’s no escaping it this time. Cardan is escorting Jude Duarte back to his bedroom, their bedroom, and there’s absolutely no escaping it. Every eye has been watching them all evening. Surely every conspiring mind has now been examining their relationship from afar for its weaknesses, and Jude must know this, too.

That has to be why she’s taking it this far, Cardan tells himself. She must want to keep up the ruse, a show of their marriage’s fortitude.

So, when the door closes behind them, his first plan is to take the secret passages to the Court of Shadows for the night – as he has every night since Jude returned. He’ll find a cot there and practice attempts at flipping coins through his fingers until he can’t keep his eyes open anymore. He’ll try not to think about Jude.

And one day, that will become habit. One day, it won’t be so bad.

Behind him, Jude sighs and sags against the doorframe. When he turns to look at her again, she almost hurts to look at. She is ravishing, draped in decadent gold that glitters like chain mail. If she is exhausted, she hasn’t looked it yet. Or maybe he hasn’t been paying close enough attention – the gown dips perilously low in the front, and it’s been practically impossible to keep his eyes from taking little trips there.

It’s that sight and more that pulls him back a step against his better judgment -- and then another.

“He holds me as though I’m the only solid thing in the world.” —Jude about Cardan, The Queen of Nothing

“The odd curve of her ear was what he had noticed first. A roundness echoed in her cheeks and her mouth. Then it was the way her body looked solid, as though meant to take up space and weight in the world. When she moved, she left behind footprints in the forest floor. Because she didn’t know how to glide silently, to disturb no leaf or branch. He felt smug to see how bad she was at even such an easy thing. It was only later that it disturbed him to think back on the shape of her boot in the soil, as though she was the only real thing in a land of ghosts.” —Cardan about Jude, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories

aka a love story summed up in two quotes <3

TBONA SPOILERS!!! (The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber)

I need to address something.

Jacks has always been the villain, right? “I’m a villain even in my own story” (Quote is from Finale in the Caraval series).

But Evangeline saw good in him.

“She was still tempted, but as much as she hated the choice that Jacks was making, she didn’t want to take it away. Instead, she hoped, one final time, that he would make a better one”

He did make a better choice, Evangeline. He sacrificed his happy ending for your life. Jacks is a hero in my eyes. . . I’m crying

This quote from OUABH hits different after reading TBONA…

She just wanted someone to want her the way Jacks had wanted this girl. And she didn’t want it to be because of a spell or a curse. Evangeline wanted a real love powerful enough to break a spell, which was exactly what Jacks wanted, too.

Evangeline will not know how jacks held her close and called her "mine". She will not remember how he had thrown himself in front of luc to save her without a second thought and everything they had shared.

Mara (+Daniel and Joseph) spam because I miss her :)

Even in the dark I can see her flushed cheeks, her berry-stained lips parted, the few scattered freckles that dust her cheeks. I don’t touch her skin, but I fill my hand with her hair, and let the strands that look like double helices fall from my fingers, the dusky city light making the few amber strands in her dark hair shine. - The Becoming of Noah Shaw

it hurts my soul how jason is perceived as the 'token straight' character in the fandom when he's most queer coded male character in the series. some might disagree but it's in the way he treats his allegedly girlfriend and his male friends -percy and leo in particular- the same. it's in all of it like how he describes them, the way he talks to them or how he acts around them. during his entire relationship with piper, or what they tried to make a relationship but failed, what put piper off was how he never had time for her and she always complained about it but when jason created time for her things they did was exactly the things jason did with his male friends. the biggest example of this is how piper always wanted to watch the stars or sky and complained that they couldn't but throughout the series jason's always the person to wake percy up when the sky is a sight.

Drarry! Coming Home!

  • Harry loved coming home late.
  • Even if it meant that he was bone tired after a hard and stressful day at the Auror office.
  • Because then he would find Draco curled up on the couch, sound asleep with drool on his cheek because he had dozed off while waiting for him even though he was clearly exhausted from his own day at Mungos.
  • Harry's heart would swell three sizes at the sight, threatning to explode.
  • Then he would carry Draco to bed, all the while Draco tried to wake up and ask about his day, mumbling sleepily against his neck.
  • Harry would just kiss him on the forehead and hold him a little tighter because Dear Merlin! he loved Draco so much.
  • And then, when they finally got in bed, Draco would snuggle up against him and literally melt into his arms as if his home has returned to him.

  • Harry loved coming home on time.
  • Because then he would get to pick up take out on the way and catch Draco right when he was getting out of his after-work shower, all fresh and soft and smelling like apples. Looking so vulnerable and open in Harry's too big t-shirt and his silk pajamas, his hair wet and all his defences down.
  • And Harry would get to kiss Draco, soft and tender, and hard and rough and passionate and yearning and all the way he could, and Draco would kiss back and it would lead to Harry bending Draco over the counter and fucking him silly.
  • Then they would have dinner together while gossiping about their day, and after that watch telly with his head laying on Draco's lap as Draco ran his fingers through his hair.
  • Later that night they would make love and fall asleep into each others arms only to wake up the next day and have lazy morning sex before rushing off to work.

  • Harry loved coming home early.
  • Because then he would get to prepare a nice home cooked meal for his husband and set a romantic table with wine and candles so Draco could relax and finally unwind.
  • He loved the look of surprise on Draco's face when he returned and found Harry home already waiting for him, and the pleased smile that took over his face when Harry wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him close mumbling "I missed you," before kissing him.
  • He especialy loved the way Draco practically glowed at seeing the table set up for their home-date ritual.
  • Harry would take his bag and coat and massage his shoulders while listening to him rant about his day with the most animated gestures, complaining about his stern mentor or talk about a new hilarious or interesting medical case he came across. (And on rare occasions he would let Harry hold him and take care of him while he cried because someone had died, or he had been unable to help someone and was forced to give a family the bad news).
  • And then they would have dinner where Draco half ate half seduced Harry by making the most erotic pleased sounds which were downright pornographic sometimes.
  • Then they would take a nice shower together where they definitely had steamy shower sex and Harry fucked Draco against the wall letting out all the pent up sexual tension that Draco had been building up since dinner.
  • On these days they would head to bed early and Harry would get to watch Draco read a book the size of a brick with his ridiculous but totaly sexy reading glasses on, or Harry would read something himself with Draco curled up against him, dozing off as Harry gently stroked his side.
  • Most of all, Harry loved coming home to Draco. And he loved having Draco come home to him.
