Ok so I just finished reading Daughter of the Deep and I loved it and there's basically no fanfic or anything even though it came out in October and it's now February so I decided to write some. So this is a Gem X Ana fanfic cause they are SO in love it hurts and I need them to get together, I might randomly sprinkle in oneshots here cause I can lol (if I do it'll say in the chapter title) If you know/come up with a ship name for them please comment it here right away because I want one desperately but I'm too stupid to think of one on my own Updates will be irregular cause I basically always have writers block and I really only write at night/really early morning cause that's all the free time I have where I won't be questioned on what I'm doing

Meh We had enough So let's jump right to it

"If the crown fits, baby, you're going down" Arundhati Shah was a mortal girl in the rule of the immortal Apsaras in the kingdom of Lanka, and you know how that goes. Cruel treatment from the heavenly beings because apparently, their egos were as large as their lives. But if Aru's learned anything, power doesn't have much to do with mortality. As a mortal girl in the rule of immortals, Aru had to find a way to make her life in this world worthwhile. And by worthwhile, she didn't mean getting spat on by the royals. No. She would be royalty in her own way, she would join the shadows as they schemed to overthrow the crown. She hated the royals. She despised them. Is there a thin line between love and hate, though? Well... When she meets Prince Aiden, the last of the Acharya line, things just become complicated when she's expected to kill him and take over the crown. However, she is just taught that in fact... The Cruel Crown obeys nobody. All of the characters (except my ocs) and og plot of tpq credits goes to the queen Roshani Chokshi! The general idea of the plot and the worldbuilding (tho its been changed a lot by me) credits goes to Holly Black! Lastly, this plot and chapters of the fanfiction DOES belong to me, so if you steal it, I steal you.

After years away at boarding school, Aru Shah returns home to a life she barely recognizes. Her relationship with her mother, Krithika, is strained, and her half-sister, Kara, seems both resentful and distant. Struggling to readjust, Aru feels like an outsider in her own home and at her new school. As Aru navigates family conflicts, unresolved grief, and her complicated relationship with Kara, she finds herself tangled in an unspoken rivalry and a love story she never expected.

The Path Back to Hope [DISCONTINUED] *All characters belong to Roshani Chockshi*

Aiden Acharya felt heartbroken after the love of his life died and only left a son as a reminder of their love. Aiden vows that his heart will always be hers no matter what and he'll love her forever. He vows to keep his son above everything else. His son is his priority. But what happens when Aiden realizes that something is so-very-wrong with the fact of his love's death? Aru Shah found him. The one who she'll love forever. But something goes very wrong and somehow all she can remember is excruciating pain, pain like she has never felt before that moment. The moment she died. The moment Arundhati Shah died. But did she......? All rights belong to Roshini Chokshi 👑
