disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters! They belong to Roshani Chokshi. That's all I guess

Major spoilers for all the books. There is an unfortunate lack of Aru Shah fanfiction on the Internet, so I decided to write my own. A lot of Aru x Aiden because I love them, as well as other ships, a lot of angst and fluff, incorrect quotes, and more!

Hello, this is what I think will happen at NoI.

An Aru Shah Gang!AU. Aiden Acharya is the heir of the Mafia gang, Kaali. His mom, Malini, is a feared gang leader. What happens when Aiden meets Aru, a seemingly care-free fun girl who turns his world upside down. Find out in "Cursed Love" TW - gun violence, descriptions of blood, swear words, death Further description inside. YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW/READ ARU SHAH TO UNDERSTAND THIS. This book has an entirely different plot to Aru Shah but just uses the characters. You DONT NOT need to read (or even know about) Aru Shah to read this.

The fake dating Aruden fic you've all been waiting for! Aiden Acharya never imagined he would ever date anyone, let alone fake date someone. But when he's forced into a desperate situation by his father, he turns to Aru Shah for help. Aru didn't anticipate fake dating on her list of fall activities, but she'll do anything to help Aiden--as a friend, of course. But love is a tricky thing, and admitting it is the hardest thing of all. Can they overcome their own demons and confront the truth of their hearts before it's too late? Title from the Taylor Swift song and cover image from Picrew maker "Heart makeup."
