Welcome to the first issue of the official TPQ (fanmade) magazine! At the start of the year, it only seems right to look back on the past year, and to take a trip down the memory lane. In this issue, you can also find what you, as a fan, should be looking forward to in this month.

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."

"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.

(n.) butterflies in one's stomach a coffeeshop aruxaiden centric au slow updates!

Opposites in every way, with only one similarity: their fiery personalities. When lightning strikes fire, will the result be a world completely burnt or a beautiful phenomena? Aru Shah has only just restarted her life, but things collapse faster than you can say 'love.' When Aiden Acharya blows into her life, she can either continue struggling against the hurricane, trying to recollect her life, or give in and be swept away.

This is a bunch of oneshots about the Pandava Quintet. The characters in these stories are not mine and belong to Roshani Chokshi. Read my other stories:)

Aru just came out with her latest album, the majority breakup and love songs she'd written during and after her most recent relationship, which the media seemed to be having a field day on speculating why they'd broken up. Nobody seems to judge her based on who she is. All she was to the world was another rich and famous singer/songwriter. But Aru runs into a particular someone who chooses to look past all her scars and her fame, and she finds the one person who gets where she's coming from. What starts out as something that isn't as fake as they think it is or will be turns into what couldn't be more real. Will they be able to tolerate what others couldn't together?

Did Aru want to go to the new years party? No. Would she rather be on her couch in her pajamas watching Lord of the Rings while eating way too much Swedish Fish? Who wouldn't? Her father. Her father wouldn't. He wanted her to go there and "socialize" which was code for "you need to find someone to marry because your life's really sad". It was some party for his law firm he started with one of his friends too, not even like a rager which would've been mildly fun. Aiden's father was a crappy one at best. So when Aiden's dad made him the photographer at some stupid new years party that he was throwing for his law firm, of course he protested. But he couldn't look at his mom so happy about it and still tell her that he didn't wanna do it. So he was still the photographer. Shit. When they both meet, (it's up to you to guess what happens, pretty easy) Okay so this is my first fanfic so please don't make fun of it if it's like REALLY bad but there's an unfortunate lack of aru shah aus that I HAVEN'T read and I'm like obsessed with aruden it's starting to become an issue hahah i'll TRY to update, and if I have writers block or smth i'll give yall a heads up and write something in place of it:) and yes this is very much based off of new years day by taylor swift AS OF NOVEMBER 2025: first place in the RR Presents category for the Fireworks Demigod Choice Awards second place in the Best Platonic Relationship category for Aru and Rudy for the FIreworks Demigod Choice Awards
