Summary
Anon asked: “Can you write something about how Jude gets hurt somewhere and the court of shadows and Cardan go looking for her and then the ghost/roach/bomb finds her and brings her to Cardan. +cute Jurdan moments”
Danger was Jude’s constant companion. Cardan would call it her closest friend if he knew not that she often kept her enemies just as close. Fear, slick and icy, wrought his stomach. Jude didn’t need to be warned. She needed to be stopped.

Summary
That one moment of hesitation, that one moment that Jude Greenbriar, Cardan’s Jude, reared her head, cost her. She could do nothing as his blade appeared above her and sank into her right shoulder, right below her collarbone.

Between Enemy Lines by TheIndomitableSmartass

Summary
This is a collection of scenes from the trilogy - some that happened off page, some that I wish had happened. And Cardan's POV of the entire third book. This is super self indulgent.
Excerpt:
A faint brush against my palm. The gentleness of that touch frightens me, and I dare to break eye contact, glancing briefly at our joined hands. He’s drawing a very soft circle on my palm. The edges of the coin, he’s tracing them.
Terror sings up my spine. Cardan was looking for a weakness, and he just found it. My mutilated hand is viciously painful, more than I can bear, and he’s going to know. He’ll use it against me.
I lock eyes with him again. Wickedness is written into every line of his face.
“Cardan,” I try, “No—”- Language:

Summary
On instinct, Hero moves, leaving the door wide open behind him. His knees hit the floor hard and he skids a few feet before he reaches Mari, hands already coming down to cradle her sides, gathering her limp body in his arms. Dimly, Hero registers the muffled sounds of Sunny, calling Mari’s name and starting down the stairs, but for one moment only, Hero doesn’t register him. He registers only Mari, her torso folding in half in the wrong direction when he lifts her off the violin, her head lolling to the side on his shoulder. She’s not breathing.
“Mari,” Sunny says again, much closer now. Hero snaps out of his trance, feeling his heart start beating again all at once. Mari’s doesn’t. Though Hero’s head swivels in Sunny’s direction, Mari doesn’t react at all. Sunny is standing a few steps away, hand ghosting the railing, his face pale and his lower lip trembling.
He’s on the verge of tears. For a second, Hero considers admonishing him. The thought is dismissed out of hand. This is not Sunny’s fault.

In which Hero witnesses Mari's fall instead.

What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

Summary
The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite the tensions between them. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's no one they trust more than each other.
“Go!” Grian shouts as the monster charges, putting his whole force into the blow.
Scar watches, frozen stiff as Grian fights until blood and gore and viscera mark the creature up like a Pollock painting.
“What are you waiting for?!” Grian snaps when he finally notices that Scar is still standing there. He grips his weapon tight and attacks a final time, slamming the zombie down—good and dead—and standing panting over top of it, strained but victorious. He starts rushing from the scene, calling back for Scar over his shoulder. “Run!”
And in a way that’s as familiar to him as breathing, Scar chases after him.

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
