Shivansh Randhawa doesn't believe in love. Only power. Control. Silence But when his wife signs their divorce papers without flinching, he learns what true fear feels like - losing her. And if she thinks a signature is enough to sever them, she's about to learn what it means to be claimed by a man who doesn't let go. Because Prathana was never a choice. She was a possession. A madness. A woman he didn't know how to love- until she stopped trying to be loved at all. So let her run. Let her fight. But she won't leave. Not until he's made her feel every inch of what she's awakened. The hunger, the ruin. The obsession of a man who doesn't know how to let go. And never learned how to share. Even in rage, he wants her. Even in ruin, she is his. . .. ..... ........ Welcome to a short story of our beloved PraShiv. Because the writers have ruined my sanity beyond measure and I took it upon myself to give the PraShiv Arcs we deserve.

Note : You do not have to see the serial to read this story. If you're someone who's enjoying the chemistry between Namik and Pranali and feel like they deserve so much more. Dive right in - Shivansh Randhawa, heir to Collapse - a multimillion-dollar publishing empire founded by his grandfather - appears to have it all. At 35, wealth, power, and prestige seem to follow him effortlessly. But behind the tailored suits and charming smile lies a man haunted by a past no one sees. He's resigned to a life of quiet detachment - until a sudden accident brings Prarthana Malhotra crashing into his world. Prarthana and Shivansh couldn't be more different. She's grounded, fiercely independent, and worlds away from the glitz and privilege of Shivansh's life. They share nothing - no background, no values, no interests. In fact, they were never meant to cross paths, let alone share a future. But when a century-old secret resurfaces, threatening to upend everything they know, they're forced to make an impossible choice: listen to reason, or follow their hearts.

When Shivansh Verma, a globe-trotting businessman, receives a panicked call from his estranged mother, he returns to Mumbai-a city he's kept at arm's length for years. His half-brother Raunak, troubled and unpredictable, has been disappearing for days at a time, consumed by an obsession no one understands. Determined to fix what's broken, Shivansh begins to untangle the mess Raunak has left behind. But all signs lead to one girl: a stranger named Prathana, whose photo appears like a haunting in the corners of Raunak's room. Expecting to find a seductress or a manipulator, Shivansh instead discovers a quiet, artistic soul with eyes full of stormlight and a past she's still learning how to survive. The twist? She's never even met Raunak. As Shivansh finds himself drawn to her gentle strength and otherworldly grace, he realizes that this girl-who was only ever a ghost in someone else's fantasy-may be the one person who can unravel everything he thought he understood about love, loyalty, and the strange ways people come into our lives. But falling for her means risking everything: his brother's fragile sanity, his mother's fragile trust, and a future he's spent a lifetime building.

Just a collection of short stories based loosely on the characters. I love their chemistry, but feel the show doesn't do them justice!

Prathna was a sweet, simple, and cheerful girl - full of dreams and sunshine - ready to begin a new chapter of life with the man she liked, Raunak. But fate had other plans. In a cruel twist of events, she's forced to marry Shivansh Randhawa - a cold-hearted, emotionally distant man who wears silence like armor. To the world, he's a respected Buisness man. To Prathna, he's a mystery she desperately wants to understand. And despite his indifference, she finds herself falling - deeply, completely, irrevocably - for her husband. But what Prathna doesn't know... Is that Shivansh didn't marry her for her dignity. He married her to destroy Raunak. She is just a pawn in a well-orchestrated game of vengeance. But what happens when the pawn becomes the only thing the king can't lose? What happens when love threatens to melt vengeance? And what will be left of Prathna when the truth shatters her completely?

A constellation of moments between Prarthana and Shivansh (PraShiv), each star a shard of solace in their sky. • A collection one shots on PraShiv ♡

Amid misunderstandings, heartbreak, obsession, and betrayal, Prarthana fights to win back the man she has come to love.

When Love Returns (Completed) 2. Saloon Ka Faasla (Completed) 3.

She was a quiet soul with a sketchbook. He was a guarded businessman with a plan. When Prathana unknowingly marries Shivansh in an arrangement secretly orchestrated by him, their story begins with silence, soft glances, and unspoken truths. But in the small spaces between arguments, teasing smiles, and jealous stares, love finds its way. A tale of slow-burn romance, emotional intimacy, and the kind of love that blooms quietly-until it becomes everything.

Exactly what the title says. Because when writers can't give you what you want, you create your own.
