Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya were childhood best friends-until Aru left without a word. Years later, they reunite at Mini and Rudy's wedding, forced to navigate unresolved tension, lingering feelings, and the question of whether they were ever just friends. With wedding chaos keeping them close, they must decide: stay strangers or take a second chance on something more. Read my other stories:)

Basically, just TPQ from Aiden's perspective. No swearing or mature topics. ALL CHARACTERS AND PLOT GO TO OUR GODDESS QUEEN ROSHANI!!!

Sixteen-year-old Aru Shah has never belonged anywhere: not in Atlanta, not in Hyderabad, and certainly not at Acharya Gurukul, India's most ruthless elite boarding school, where old money runs the hallways and the ranking board updates in real time like a scoreboard for a game nobody officially admits they're playing. But Aru isn't here for the Houses, or the gambling rings running beneath the east library, or the children of billionaires sharpening their knives on each other's backs in pursuit of Ivy League seats. She's here because both her parents were students at AG, and both of them are dead. Two accidents. Two closed files. Seventeen years of silence, and a sealed letter she's been carrying for six months without the courage to open. The answers are inside the Parishad, AG's nine-seat student council, locked behind seventy-seven years of legacy exclusivity that no scholarship student has ever broken. To get there, Aru needs rank , and at AG, rank isn't just grades. It's social influence, faculty favor, and the ruthless art of making sure the people above you have fewer reasons to stay there. What she doesn't need is Aiden Acharya. Rank one. Parishad president. Heir to the family whose name is carved above the front gate because they built the gate, the school, and everything inside it. The first person who spoke to her at AG. The boy connected to the letter she hasn't opened. The boy she is absolutely not thinking about. As Aru climbs through sabotaged study groups, gambling tables, and alliances that cost more than she expects, she uncovers a secret dangerous enough that the people who buried it are watching to see if she gets close. The Board keeps updating. The clock keeps running. And Aru Shah, 387th rank, daughter of two dead people and zero useful connections, is realizing the game she came to play is much bigger than she thought. Winning it might cost her more than her rank.

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.

In Thunder, Chaos, and Everything After, follow Aru Shah and the Pandavas as they navigate the messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reality of life after saving the world. From pranking the Council of Gods to navigating first relationships, from midnight museum conversations to chaotic training sessions, these interconnected stories explore what it means to be a hero when there's no war left to fight.

This is an AU from the book serie "Aru Shah". Big part of the characters are from the awesome Roshani Chokshi. Aru have lost everything because The Otherworld, a secret spy society. The ones that were supposed to protected her, turned her back to her when they discovered who her dad was (a murder part of the Dark). They killed their mother, a member of the society, and left her in a world of shadows. Her father, the Sleeper, took care of her and her big sister, Kara, after that, teaching them how to use their powers and turning them in murderers. Even though Aru try to keep everyone away, she let pass her walls to Yamini, Mini, her best friend, who was recruited to form part of the Dark, when the Otherworldly rejected her for her brother. Meanwhile, Aiden hates the Dark with all his heart. They took everything from him and he had to live since then with his cousin Rudra, Rudy. He trained to became a spy like his parents with her awesome best friend Brynne Rao, and taking care of two orphans with special abilities, Nikita and Sheela. But what happened when Aru and Aiden get to know each other for the first time? When they stories collided and find someone just like them, but that's fighting for the opposite? And ----------------TOP SECRET----------------- THIS FILE HAS BEEN CENSORED BY THE OTHERWORLD AND THE DARK.

Just a series of oneshots & headcanons from the Aru Shah series! It will mainly focus on Aruden, as I love them a lot, but I will also include some Mindy (Snake of Death) & Hiryyne as well! Feel free to ask for requests, as I will gladly take them!

Random oneshots from my notes ⚠️ - terrible writing inside TT

an aru shah story with a evil plot

This takes place after the events of "Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality." A - Because Mini x Rudy never happened, and B - We didn't get any Aruden juiciness, and I can't find fanfics that are book-accurate and not AUs. For legal reasons n stuff, I don't own these characters; they belong to Roshani Chokshi, etcetera, etcetera...
