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
“Cardan,” Jude couldn’t help the nerves that crept into her voice. “This is all iron.”
She looked up to where he was standing. Across the hall from her in a different cell. The iron bars blocking them off and the walls surrounding them. Even the floors and ceilings of their cells. Cardan stood with his arms crossed. A near permanent scowl on his face when he looked at the ground. Softening only a fraction when he lifted his eyes to meet hers.
“Yes,” his voice was measured, “our situation is less than ideal.”Series
