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

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?

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.

What if Aru had made herself become the untrue sister? Second Chance follows Aru Shah as she makes a fateful decision that defies the gods, changing everything she and her friends once knew. Months later, the past refuses to stay buried when an impossible event shakes the world they have built. As the Potatoes struggle with resurfaced emotions and unanswered questions, they must face the truth: some choices come with consequences that even time cannot erase. Read my other stories :)
