Amidst the backdrop of tragedy, familial obligation, and the redeeming alchemy of love, the story unfolds.

This is a story that shouldn't be written but I usually follow my heart. And right now I need to write this.. for myself. Cuz I can't stop myself. Will it become a full fledged story? I don't know. Right now I have a few scenes that need to be written and posted somewhere.. This is set in the EBY universe. It would be great if you read that one first.

"Sometimes you have to break a little to let the light in." Post last episode. They may be two broken souls but their jagged pieces fit together perfectly to make one.

He was born to rule; on land and high in the skies. She, it seemed, was born to reign over him. He had defied all odds in his life. She was hell-bent on deifying him. Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan's destiny had been written for him; to take over his family's ancestral seat as a feudal lord and live his life for the people. He'd altered destiny. A man of iron-clad principles, he'd silenced all who dared to question him by becoming Khan Murtasim Khan and Captain Khan simultaneously. He did his duty and indulged in his passion. Why did he have to choose one? He made the rules after all... Meerab Waqas Ahmed didn't like rules. Especially ones made to control her, or any woman for that matter. Out with the old, in with the 'whatever the hell I want to do' was the way it worked in Meerab's world. If this meant deifying family tradition to pave her own way in the world, then she was willing to pay the price for her independence. They say if you play with fire, you're bound to burn, but doesn't ice burn the warm-blooded too? Fire and ice went hand in hand, just like desire and destruction. Note: This story is not completely 'mature'. It may include parts which are mature but can be enjoyed otherwise as well. This wonderful, amazing cover is by moonshine1_ 🤍

If 21-year-old Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan were to rank television-worthy revelations in his family, the revelation that Meerab was his chacha-saab's daughter, a Khan, would take the cake. If the secret had shaken him less, he would have enjoyed her gobsmacked expression more. But he was too busy worrying about the new musibat he had inherited - the annoying girl who was once a mere acquaintance was now someone he was forced to understand. Forced to protect. Forced to accommodate into his already complicated life. Follows Meerab x Murtasim during her summer visits to the Khan Haveli | Tere Bin AU based on "what if everyone found out the truth of Meerab's parentage in a less dramatic way".
