How an young adult boy secured an innocent life from the cruel world

In small town in rural Punjab, Shubman and Ishan fall for each other in secret, dreaming of a life in Canada where they can finally be themselves. But as they fall in love, secrets and family pressures threaten to pull them apart. [alternative universe - no cricket] [teenage au]

When two lives are tied together in an arranged marriage, neither Shubman nor Ishan expected love to be a part of it. One is stubborn, practical, and proud of his independence, while the other hides his true self behind charm, humor, and sometimes even cross-dressing to survive in a world that refuses to understand him. Marriage was supposed to be a compromise... but soon it becomes a battlefield of egos, secrets, and unexpected emotions. Between family expectations, playful banter, and late-night fights, Shubman and Ishan slowly discover that "side effects" of shaadi can sometimes be-falling in love with the very person you once wanted to avoid. ✨ A story of laughter, drama, chaos, and slow-burn romance-where love arrives as the most unexpected side effect of marriage. --- Ishman❤️❤️❤️...

After breaking up, Shubman and Ishan never thought they would find their way back to each other. Shubman was too busy as the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team, and Ishan had seemingly moved on with some else. But when Shubman calls him one night after coming out to his parents, Ishan and Shubman realize that they really only needed each other all along. [sequel to "Is This Love?"]

~𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐛𝐈𝐬𝐡 𝐃𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲~ How far can Shubman and Ishan fight a majorly homophobic society for each other when every act of theirs is splashed over every newspaper in the country? ~~~~~~~~~~~ "I love you, and I'm never giving you up." ~~~~~~~~~~~ But how far can they fight their family? Their own parents? ~~~~~~~~~~~ "We're not asking them to give up anything more! We're just asking them to broaden their narrow state highway perspective a little bit, to like a national highway maybe, and accept the reality." "Which is not possible." "We'll make it possible!' "You're delusional, Shubi."

Chaos ft. Ishman Where feelings are confusing, plots are impulsive, and Ishman is always the main character. A collection of randomness because my mind doesn't believe in order. Some chapters are sweet, some are stormy, and some... well, they leave you staring at the ceiling at 2am. Ishman is the chaos we all signed up for-but don't be surprised if Abhiyank, Shubdik, or even Ishank crash the party. Judgement-free zone. Just vibes, delulu ships, and tiny heartaches in between. Read it before Shubman finds it and files a complaint. Happy reading, lovies <3

~𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐛𝐈𝐬𝐡 𝐃𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲~ "Seriously? He's my BEST FRIEND, I think I'd know if he was gay, all right?" "Don't you realize you would be the LAST person he'd tell?" Ishan is jealous. Shubman is clueless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cut to when Shubman isn't quite so clueless. Ishan is miserable. Shubman is miserable. And they can't even talk like earlier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "When did I get so stupid?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Why do I mess everything up?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "But you will find a way. You both will." We have to. We have to, because if we don't, I would lose the person I love most in this world.
