Murtasim is a shadow in human form - cold, precise, and utterly heartless, a man who moves through darkness, leaving death in his wake. Everything is as it should be... until one night, Meerab, a bright and full of life florist, accidentally witnesses him commit a murder. In that single, fleeting moment, their lives collide, and the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. Secrets, danger, and desire intertwine as they are drawn into a deadly game - where trust could kill, survival is never guaranteed, and the heart is the most dangerous weapon of all.

Meerab Ahmed, a meticulous marketing head, is paired with Murtasim Khan, a charismatic photographer, for a major fashion campaign. Murtasim's vibrant and spontaneous approach to capturing moments stands in sharp contrast to Meerab's structured and disciplined work ethic. Despite their differences, a mutual respect grows as they navigate the complexities of their project. However, what starts as a professional collaboration soon takes a personal turn. Murtasim, enchanted by Meerab's strength and grace, finds himself falling for her. His charm and persistence begin to chip away at Meerab's defenses, and he eventually asks her out. Meerab, on the other hand, is haunted by her past and the responsibility laying on her, struggles to accept his proposal, fearing that her tangled life might bring him trouble. Faced with Meerab's rejection, Murtasim is at a crossroads. He must decide whether to respect her decision and step away or to remain persistent and fight for their future. As he learns more about Meerab's struggles and the reasons behind her hesitation, Murtasim's determination is tested. Will he be able to overcome the barriers she has put up and win her heart, or will their relationship dissolve into just another professional project?

In the comforting embrace of his perfect life, Khan Murtasim Khan had everything one could wish for. Yet, a capricious twist of destiny snatched away his most cherished possession, plunging him into the abyss of darkness. A once vibrant soul, now encased in stone, Murtasim became a haunting silhouette of his former self. Guided by the poignant whisper of his father's dying wish, Murtasim found himself entangled in an arranged marriage with Meerab Khan-an embodiment of youth and carefree cheerfulness. Their union, born out of duty, emerged as a crucible of emotions, a battleground where Murtasim's stoicism clashed with Meerab's zestful spirit. Amidst the backdrop of tragedy, familial obligation, and the redeeming alchemy of love, the story unfolds. As Meerab steps into Murtasim's world, will her bubbly presence lift the eclipse shrouding his heart, or will his shattered soul entwine her in the shadows of tragedy and mystery it holds?

AU- An old school infatuation is what occurs when Meerab and Murtasim coincidentally share the same night train from Islamabad to Karachi. Just a couple sentences and caring guestures are enough to change their route forever. Any mature scene will have a warning given. Inspired by Zara Shah Jahan's ad with Wahaj. Set in year 2000, just because of the romantic train depicted.

PROTECTOR OF KHAN- AU Tere Bin universe where Murtasim is Meerab's bodyguard. The Khan family established its reign over Hyderabad as land owners, whilst keeping an iron grip on their rivals to maintain political control. Anwar Khan is the embodiment of power and his daughter, Meerab Khan, is the apple of his eye. It's well known that the Nawaz family continues to serve the Khans as they have for generations. When Shahnawaz fatefully becomes wounded, the role of being Meerab's bodyguard is delegated to Murtasim. Up close, pretences begin to slip.

Qubool hai. Meerab Malik was born fiery and defiant, a sole daughter who carried all her baba's ruling genes but none of his power. Murtasim Khan, ruling the neighbouring lands, was a reckoning force. Tying their names might have been an act to bridge the families, but it invited more friction than peace.

| Leaving behind the frayed ends of our past, stitch your pulse straight to my heart | A medical romance with slices of secrets, angst, a tangled past and a second chance for two indiviudals from opposite sides of the country with no other connection than fate and a roller-coaster two-week romance which left one with a bitter aftertaste and the other with a whole lot more. The names of the main characters are inspired by the show Tere Bin. There are no other references or similarities to the show. Cover designed by my darling moonshine_1 and couplet at the top penned by the lovely Lavender Moon ♡

How differently could things have turned out after Waqas Ahmed had stormed into Khan Haveli and shown each and every member of the Khan's the mirror whilst clearing the smears of shame on Meerab's character? How differently could things have been for Meerab and Murtasim had their longing for one another after their cruel separation at Malik Zubair's and Haya's hands turned into something more fruitful? How differently could things have been if the writer of Tere Bin had been as extra, filmy and dramatic as yours truly? This four-shot begins from when Murtasim leaves Meerab in Karachi. Its what I believe was a heartbreakingly crucial point in the story. *Some mature content* Cover by my talented moonshine1_
