Summary
In the kingdom of Elfhame, where shadows whisper secrets and power is a deadly game, Lilia has always stood out for one thing: she is human. Raised among the Folk, she learned early that strength is not just a matter of swords and poison, but also of will and words. She seeks neither glory nor revenge, but just a place where she can exist without having to fight for every breath.
Beside her is Jude, her dearest friend, who always seems one step ahead in understanding the ruthless rules of the fairy court. But Jude has her secrets, like the way his gaze lingers too long on Nicasia, the proud princess of the sea.
And then there is Cardan, a prince with an indolent air and a poisonous smile. He is everything Lilia despises: effortlessly cruel, frivolous by nature, and, above all, a problem she does not want to face. And yet, by a twist of fate, their paths continue to intertwine.
Lilia knows that challenging the faeries is dangerous. But challenging Cardan? That could be an even bigger mistake.
*This story is inspired by and based on the book The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Summary

Ever since he was a teenager, Cardan has been the biggest fan of her, growing up with an abusive family, music was his safe place. Through her music he feels understood, and all he wants is to have just one conversation with his favorite artist in the world.

You're My World, I Won't Let You Burn. by Lee_Felix_Lover

Summary
Jude's plan failed. That was blatantly obvious the moment I saw the chandelier crash onto the table, lighting the tablecloth ablaze.
What I didn't anticipate was that this was someone's plan. Not Jude's plan, but someone's. Madoc's? Probably not. Balekin's? Maybe.
Soon enough, the whole room is burning. Walls crumble. I can't see, smoke filling my lungs and clouding my eyes. All I hear is screams.
I need to find Jude. Jude can fix this. She'd know what to do.

A Revolutionary Walks into a Fairy Court… by FoamyYourLordAndMaster

Summary
Fyodor Edinstvo, a ruthless former Soviet informant and self-proclaimed purveyor of suffering, is executed in 1952. But instead of finding oblivion, he awakens in the twisted, beautiful world of Elfhame—a realm ruled by capricious faeries, ancient politics, and glamours more dangerous than bullets.
And then there’s the matter of his black blood.
And the way his wounds heal without aid.
Or the tar-black phantoms—twisted echoes of Soviet soldiers—who rise from the earth to obey him, still saluting their long-dead commander.
Fyodor isn’t sure what he is anymore. A weapon? A curse? A relic dragged back from the grave?
Disoriented but not broken, Fyodor is soon entangled in the affairs of Queen Jude Duarte, a mortal who clawed her way to the throne with blood and steel. Though steeped in magic and myth, Elfhame proves no less treacherous than the USSR—just more honest in its deceit.
As Fyodor grapples with the memories of a brutal past and the mysterious force keeping him alive, he finds himself torn between his old gospel of universal suffering and the haunting ghost of his younger brother’s idealism.

Summary
Have you ever felt drawn to the lasting untold tales in the perspective of the High King? Well, congratulations, you have been wrapped into a journey where—if you beg adequately for it, you shall receive as Cardan Greenbriar is many things but not a fae to starve one's curiosity.
(In which I do my best to embody Cardan’s pov during the whole trilogy including offscreen moments i. e. TwK 6 months timeskip & QoN scenes with some non canon details or perceptions <3)

Summary
This is the story of Jude Duarte and Cardan Greenbriar, if events had gone differently than they did in the books.
Madoc never did find Jude and her family, and so she grew up in the human world. Meanwhile, Cardan is exiled from Faerie for the crime he was tricked into committing. This is the story of the people they would be if the coin flip landed the other way and of how fate has a way of catching up in the end.

Summary
The Queen. That’s what everyone called her. Professional tennis players always had some kind of title associated with them; The Entertainer, The Fox, The Goat. And hers was The Queen. She would have loved it, if it wasn’t for the misfortune of the existence of The King, Cardan Greenbriar’s title. He used to tease her about it, back when they were still participating in their…arrangement.

OR: Jude and Cardan are professional tennis rivals, and they used to be rival-with-benefits. What happens when Jude has to temporarily stop playing, and becomes Cardan's coach instead?
loosely inspired by challengers, heated rivalry, and sincaraz (hehe)

Summary
For a moment he didn’t say anything. Instead, he dragged his eyes over her entire figure, head to toe, and she suddenly remembered she was still in her pajamas of old hand-me-downs and teeny shorts. Her feelings of self-consciousness bled into anger as she folded her arms tightly across her chest, glaring up at the tall man in front of her.

Summary
Once, in a time long since forgotten, there was a powerful Empire that dominated the world. A constant threat, kingdoms stayed in perpetual fear, readying for a threat they knew was coming, but had no idea of when. The mainland of the Empire was secretive, shrouded in smoke that could not be breached, unable to be found without the proper medallions and amulets granting permission to enter. The Vassals of this Empire were largely left alone, with various of the ruling families often taking these lands for their own, to benefit from the resources, and to leverage them for political advancement and arrangements. The ruling and noble families of these lands were disposed of, but after the initial occupation, the common people were often allowed to continue their lives largely unimpeded. Or, at least, that's what those in power believed. And while there are surely many stories these people could tell, they are not the focus of this story. For this story takes place in the capital of the Vyslaran Empire, Onsyth, and follows the goings-on of the elite. And the unexpected companions they find along the way.

Summary
Jude Duarte has brought her high school band, Nightfell, back together after years of being broken up just for this year's Fall/Winter Music Festival. This year's prize is nothing other than a record deal, and Jude is determined to win it, and determined to keep her band together for the long run. But of course, things aren't so easy when your rival is the most popular band in town, Court of Shadows led by none other than Cardan Greenbriar...
Both bands rival each other in this competition to win this record deal, this opportunity to begin their careers as musicians.
BASICALLY, Jude and Cardan are in sexy bands singing songs to each other and having a bunch of tension and being rivals and pining idiots. hehe.
