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!

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?

When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying? Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective. In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.

For seventeen-year-old Aru Shah, the Hamptons is a battlefield of old money, starched linen, and suffocating whispers. Eight years ago, her father's failed corporate coup against the multi-billion-dollar Acharya Media stripped her branch of the family of their wealth, their reputation, and their seat at the table. But following her father's recent death, a fragile olive branch from her wealthy aunt brings Aru and her mother back to the world they were erased from, the glittering lakeside estates and private lawns of the Midsummer Cotillion season, where the daughters of prestigious families are formally introduced to society and everyone is watching. Aru returns as a social pariah. She watches from the sidelines as her cousin Kara, gorgeous, elegant, and beloved, orbits effortlessly through the world Aru was born into but never allowed to keep. And at the center of that world, as always, is Aiden Acharya: the untouchable golden heir of Acharya Media, devastatingly handsome, fiercely guarded, and widely expected to spend the summer making it official with Kara. And most of all, her first love. To Aiden, Aru is a chaotic nuisance from a disgraced family. To the rest of the summer colony, she is a charity case to be pitied or mocked. So when a cruel public humiliation at the season's opening gala leaves Aru with nothing left to lose, she does the worst possible thing: she corners Aiden Acharya and proposes a deal. Fake-date her.

Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya have not spoken properly since the night of Brynne's Diwali party. She's been fine. She's been absolutely fine. She has a curry plant and a job and two best friends who only ask about him every other week now, which is progress. Then Mini and Rudy announce they're getting married in Hampi, ancient ruins, sacred river, the exact city where Aru and Aiden once stopped being enemies, and suddenly she is a bridesmaid and he is the wedding photographer and they are going to be in the same place for seven days and she has no plan whatsoever. She never has a plan. That's always been his job. Told in two timelines, the present, a wedding week unraveling every unresolved thing between them, and the past, five summers of trips across India that built a friendship that quietly became something neither of them had a clean word for: Every Place We've Ever Been is a story about how far two people can travel together while still managing to miss the point. It is also, unexpectedly, a murder mystery. Because on the second night in Hampi, a body turns up in the temple ruins. A stolen divine artifact is missing. And the only two people with the knowledge and the clearance to do something about it are Aru Shah and Aiden Acharya, who can barely look at each other without two years of unsaid things rising to the surface, which makes the enforced proximity either the worst possible timing or, if Sheela's cryptic non-prophecies are to be believed, exactly the right kind. Somewhere between solving a murder, recovering an artifact that could enslave half the mortal world, and watching their best friends get married in a city that remembers everything, they are going to have to decide whether they're brave enough to say the thing they've been almost-saying for five years.

-NOT WRITTEN IN HINDI, ANYONE CAN READ- Aru Shah doesn't expect to get cast as Juliet as soon as she tries out for the role in her College Drama class. But she's ready to give it her all...um...does that include the kiss scene, though? Aiden Acharya, photography major, needs extra credit for a project because he missed a term for his mother's arm injury. Luckily, the drama class offers extra credit- and he's signed up for the photographer. Win-win, right? Until Aiden, one day, rehearses with Aru, Aiden as Romeo. Ms. Kandal decides to cast him- replacing a jealous guy named Dhruv- and sparks a friendship between the 2 leads. But as they rehearse, they see the lines between acting and reality start to blur...

Aiden Acharya is a headstrong inspiring musician. He meets Aru Shah, a quiet journalist-always with a diary in her hand writing poetry. What happens when the two collaborate on music and unexpectedly fall in love? Can their love overshadow Aru's diagnosis of Alzheimer's? From the movie Saiyaara :) Read my other stories.

After years away at boarding school, Aru Shah returns home, determined to start over. New school, new life, no expectations. But she quickly finds herself pulled into an unexpected friend group and feelings she never planned for. Aiden Acharya has always hated popularity. To him, it's shallow, exhausting, and built on illusions. People only see his looks and his wealth, never the person underneath. He swears he'll never fall in love. Love only leads to disappointment. Then Aru Shah walks into his life. Caught between high school drama and friendship Aru and Aiden must figure out whether something real can survive in a world built on appearances. Can their story defy the usual high school tropes? Read my other stories:) *All characters belong to Roshani Chokshi from TPQ*

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.

Arundhati Shah's life is perfectly ordinary, until a mysterious letter sealed with impossible wax arrives on a Tuesday morning. The letter that tells her she's been accepted to Devas Academy of Divine Arts and Celestial Warfare. The letter that reveals the magical world her exiled mother has kept hidden for fourteen years. Aru's mother, Krithika Shah, was once part of magical society, until she fell in love with the wrong man, got pregnant, and was stripped of her powers in front of the entire Magical Council. Exiled. Bound. Used as a cautionary tale whispered to young girls: Don't end up like Krithika Shah. Now Aru must enter the world that destroyed her mother, knowing nothing about her dead father except his name: Suyodhana. Knowing she'll be judged instantly for her mother's "shame." Knowing that magical society is obsessed with bloodlines, hierarchy, and keeping the "pure" families in power. At Devas Academy, everything depends on your heritage. The Cosmic Mirror sorts students into houses based on their bloodline: Chandra for the pure-blooded elite, Agni for demon-descended warriors, Vayu for celestial servants, and Surya for everyone else-the orphans, the unknown, the undesirable. Everyone assumes Aru will end up in Surya, if she's allowed to attend at all. But Aru has six weeks to prepare. Six weeks to learn everything about a society designed to reject her. Six weeks to memorize the names of powerful families, the complex web of alliances, and the devastating truth about what happened to the Vajra bloodline, the legendary family that went mysteriously extinct a hundred years ago, leaving their perfect matches, the Acharyas, mourning the loss of their greatest allies.
