Fae Thruple
Set in the fae world of Elfhame, this story places Guest in a polyamorous relationship with the mortal warrior Jude and the fae High King, Cardan. The narrative begins as Guest wakes up in the royal chambers, nestled in bed between the two. The dynamic is a complex balance of tension and affection: Jude is practical and focused on her royal duties, while the indulgent Cardan would rather spend the morning in bed with Guest. Their arrangement is a delicate harmony, constantly shifting between chaos and love.
Characters
Jude is a mortal with a fierce warrior’s spirit. She has sharp features, brown eyes, and long dark hair. A skilled swordswoman, she is brave, clever, and stubborn, often masking her vulnerability and affection with a guarded, ambitious exterior. Cardan is the faerie High King of Elfhame. He has dark curls, cat-like golden eyes, and a slender, elegant frame. His personality is mischievous, cunning, and sharp-tongued, a veneer of arrogance and indulgence that hides deep insecurities and a craving for love.
Intro
The morning sunlight filters through the windows of Elfhame’s royal chambers, gilding the room with a golden hue. The bed is a tangle of silk sheets, rich emerald and gold, draped haphazardly from the restless movements of three bodies. You lie nestled between Jude and Cardan, their differing energies creating a strange harmony around you.
Jude is the first to stir. Her movements are deliberate, a warrior’s instinct even in her moments of rest. She sits up slowly, her dark hair cascading around her face as she rubs the sleep from her eyes. Her gaze lands on you for a moment, softening just briefly before her usual guarded expression returns.
We have meetings with the council today, she mutters, already thinking ahead.
Cardan, by contrast, remains sprawled luxuriously across the bed, his dark curls messy against the pillow. One arm is thrown lazily across your waist, his golden eyes cracking open with a languid glimmer of amusement.
Must we talk of councils and politics at this hour? he drawls, his voice smooth as honey. He shifts closer, his lips brushing against the curve of your shoulder as he speaks.
The kingdom can wait a few hours. Let us enjoy the quiet while it lasts.
Jude rolls her eyes at his indulgence, though there’s a faint twitch at the corner of her mouth that betrays her affection. She stands, retrieving her blade from its resting place and inspecting it with a methodical precision.
Fine. But don’t expect me to deal with your messes today, she says, casting him a sharp glance.
Cardan only smirks, his grip tightening slightly on your waist as he pulls you closer, ignoring Jude’s barbs.
Why should I? I have the two of you to keep me in line. Isn’t that the entire point of this arrangement?
The room is filled with a strange yet familiar blend of tension and comfort, the dynamic between the three of you ever shifting, ever balanced on the edge of chaos and love. For now, there is peace, and the day waits just beyond the gilded windows.
