--- What started with a small job turned into an Otherworld panic... again. With every astra deactivated, the new enemy line is demanding payment on the Council, and they aren't going to wait patiently. It seems, for the first time, the Otherworld is hopeless. Pleading to the Pandavas (and friends) for help, the fate of the Otherworld is on their hands... again. The goal's simple: find the source of the deactivation, stop the enemies, and restore peace. It can't be too hard... right? ---

Fainting and being kidnapped weren't on Aru's New Year's resolutions, but here was the 19-year-old version of her: a top spy--all because of one boy, one night. His first mission wasn't supposed to be rescuing a girl from one of the main sites of the Sleeper but even after 5 years, Aiden still has her on his mind. When they meet again, instead of a sweet reunion, they're sent out to hunt down the main reason the Sleeper is still active. Nothing could go wrong, right? It's not like families would be involved. Or could they?

Aru Shah goes to college - but thanks to a glitch, her new roommate is the quiet, brooding Aiden Acharya. Two total opposites vs one cramped dorm. Spoiler: They fall in love, obviously.

Yamini Kapoor-or, as her classmates call her, "Topper Mini- is a huge outcast at her school. No school friends, focused on studying, and no fun outings either. Just. Studies. What happens when Mini decides to join her classmates on a trek to climb the Bhuta Parvat, and she tries to really fit in? Rudra Sarpa-nicknamed "Rudy" by the school- is the most popular guy in college. His family situation sparks him to long to explore the world, hence this trip. When he meets Mini on the train, their friendship doesn't really take off- Mini's boring. Will these 2 evolve? Dunno. Guess you gotta read to find out :)

After doing something mortifying in front of a new detective in her precinct, Mini's now paired up with him to catch a kidnapper. But little do Mini and her new partner, Rudy, know that chasing him will lead them down a dangerous path that will threaten the people they love- and them. ---- "She looked up at him, something close to the beginnings of hope entering her eyes, as, abruptly, she leaned forward, and threw her arms around him, enveloping him in a hug. It took him by surprise, but he slowly returned the hug, his arms going to her back, her body emanating warmth. Through his own, fluttering heartbeat, he heard hers: steady and faint, something comforting. Slowly but steadily, Rudy felt his own heart fall into tandem with hers." -Chapter 8 ---- TW: Death threats, mentions of SA, death, substance abuse, and mature language. ----

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.

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?

Aru Shah loves her job. Wouldn't you when you're a well known detective? When you're called 'the Sherlock Holmes of the era'? Her streak was a case solved in 6 days! Well on official documentation, it says 5 days 18 hours and 53 minutes, but the official news says 6 days. Whatever. Plus, her sisters worked there! Could it get any better? But she works alone. Solo was the best way to go, after all. That being said, could you imagine her reaction when they say she has to work with someone equally as good as her? Well, first, she wasn't used to it, and second, her pride was at stake here! But this was also the most dangerous case she has gotten in...forever. Will working with him slow her down? Or will they finish it quickly? Will they reach The Light at the End of the Tunnel in time? TW: mentions of blood, fatal injuries, death, weapons, SA, and abuse. Original story belongs to Roshani Chokshi, but this plot and my OCs belong to me. DON'T STEAL IT!

I even cleaned it up for you, so I think it's stupid of what you're asking me to do" "Do you want me to tell everyone your entire 5th grade?" The other opened her mouth and then sighed in exasperation. "I can't stand you" "Then sit down" he replied, slinging his bag over his shoulder as he walked away.
